The Burnet High School football team flashed much more than the seven touchdowns during its final scrimmage against Jarrell Aug. 19. Burnet scored in a variety of ways: short and long touchdown passes and short and long touchdown runs. Meanwhile, the Burnet defense yielded only two touchdowns, all in the live quarters, during the two-and-a-half hour affair. Head coach Bryan Wood noted his players displayed the chemistry and rapport coaches have highlighted throughout the last several months. Each Bulldog did his job and trusted his teammates to do theirs. That’s…

The Marble Falls High School cross country team is experiencing a transition in many ways. In addition to being realigned to District 24-4A from District 25-5A, the Mustangs and Lady Mustangs are still determining their top runners’ order. The boys have four returners — Marco Almazan, Ezekiel Atkinson, Nick Dahl and Tyler Hamblin — and several others vying to be in the top five, which will yield a team score. They’ll get their first chance to make their case at the Johnson City 1.5-mile Relay Meet Friday, Aug. 19, at…

Photo courtesy of the Baty family By now, most of us sports fans (and some who don’t consider themselves fans) are well aware of Brett Baty and his Major League Baseball debut with the New York Mets Aug. 17. But in case you’re not, Baty, in his first at-bat, hit a two-run homer in the second inning while wearing No. 22 and flashed the “I love you” hand signal to…

A mix-up in dates forced the Smoking For Jesus Ministry School football team to wait another week to scrimmage an opponent.

Soon after the results of the 2022 Class 4A state meet, where he finished second in the 1,600 meters May 12, Burnet High School runner Hudson Bennett left the University of Texas at Austin’s Mike Myers Stadium more determined than ever to cross off what’s left on his list of goals going into his senior year. Part of that was intensive training that turned into an extensive stay in Colorado during the middle of the summer of 2022. “I spent 35 days (there),” he said. “I was running the entire…

The Marble Falls High School softball program has a new coach, Alejandro “Alex” Lozoya, who accepted the job days after it was posted in June. “I was looking,” he said. “What sold me was the area and community. My brother is a firefighter in Spicewood, my mom lives in San Antonio, and I have in-laws in Austin. It feels like a great community to raise my boys.” Lozoya was the head coach at Midlothian High School for 10 years. He was at another job interview when Dr. Chris Allen, the…

Marble Falls High School head volleyball coach Kait Goertz has maintained her Lady Mustangs are much improved this season than at any other time she has been at the helm. She has upheld the most important element to the team’s success is players believing their coach when she tells them they have what it takes to turn the program. And they showed it all in a three-set victory against Austin Northeast Aug. 16, 25-20, 25-22, 25-14. “This group is something special – that’s one of the things I told them,”…

The Canyon Lake High School Hawks varsity football team got exactly what head coach Charley Drum wanted against the Cuero High School Gobblers – tested. “We played a very good Cuero team,” Drum said. “They’re very strong, and they have great team speed. It gives us a good look at where we are and what we need to work on.” The Gobblers and Hawks faced off Friday, Aug. 12, in the first scrimmage of the year.

Discovery sums up what the Burnet High School football team experienced during its scrimmage against Lago Vista Aug. 12. “You see things you’re excited about and other things we got to work on,” defensive coordinator Ben Speer said. “The kids had great energy. They did a good job with that, and coaches helped them get there.” Lago Vista, which reached the Class 3A Division I semifinals after finishing as the District 13-3A runner-up, posed a good test for the Bulldogs, Speer said. “Lago Vista is big and physical,” he said.…

Two football teams that played for 2021 state championships of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools met on Britton Field, located on the Faith Academy of Marble Falls campus, Aug. 12 to give fans an early look at this year’s players. What they saw from the Flames, who hosted Bulverde Bracken, should excite them. The Flames outscored Bracken 6-2 and got to paydirt in different ways thanks to different players, who are being relied upon to produce big in 2022. “This team we played lost a state title…
