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.

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…

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,”…
