Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on the writer. Let’s begin with what I believe is the most anticipated contest of the weekend in north Burnet County. It’s the Burnet High School girls soccer team against Bay City in the Class 4A Region III semifinals. The contest kicks off at 11 a.m. Friday, April 8, in Katy. Bay City, like Lumberton and Lake Belton, are district champions. But don’t discount the Lady Dawgs. Here’s why. Burnet…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball team is continuing to put up statistics that are leading to lopsided victories and shortened contests. The latest was a 16-1 win against Bryan St. Joseph Catholic School on April 1 after the Flames (4-2, 2-0 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) beat Bryan Allen Academy by the same 16-1 score March 25. In both contests, sophomore pitcher Kade Shaw was on the mound. Against St. Joseph, Shaw struck out 10 of the 15 batters he faced, including the three at the…

Miscues don’t derail Bulldogs from road win at Gateway

April 6, 2022April 6, 2022 Jennifer Fierro#bulldogs, #Burnet, #BurnetCounty, #gateway, #gators, #HighlandLakes, #HighlandLakesSports, #Texas, #TexasChalkTalk, #TheBroadPodcaster, #UIL0 comment

A calm, cool and collected demeanor by Burnet senior pitcher Ralston Vance resulted in the Bulldogs beating Georgetown Gateway 3-1 April 5. Vance had 8 strikeouts and didn’t issue a walk, which meant the five errors committed by the Bulldogs (8-7-1, 5-3 District 19-4A) didn’t affect the outcome. “This win doesn’t mathematically put us in the playoffs,” head coach Russell Houston said. “It’s a win that it would have been difficult to get in the playoffs without it.” The Gators may have had their best scoring opportunities early. Burnet committed…

The Marble Falls High School baseball team earned its first win of the District 25-5A season, a 9-8 walk-off victory in the ninth inning against Georgetown East View April 1. A.J. Scovil hit the winning RBI to score the runner from second base. “We finally had some things that went our way,” head coach Tyler Porter said. “It’s definitely a good win for us.” The Mustangs (5-9, 1-4) and the Patriots each scored three runs in the second inning. “Answering back is always something we (try to) do,” the coach…

The Burnet High School baseball team split the two games with Jarrell, which were played March 29 and April 1. The Bulldogs (7-7-1, 4-3 District 19-4A) beat the Cougars (6-8-2, 2-5) 16-6 on March 29 but lost 2-1 on a walk-off sacrifice in the seventh inning April 1. Burnet had previously beaten Jarrell 2-1 March 8. Unlike other sports where athletes can settle into a groove and rhythm, it’s not unusual for baseball teams to pound out multiple runs in an inning and not score much the rest of the…

Burnet wants to ensure one loss doesn’t lead to a streak

March 23, 2022May 19, 2022 Jennifer Fierro#Burnet, #Burnet Bulldogs, #ducks, #HighlandLakes, #HighlandLakesSports, #taylor, #Texas, #TexasChalkTalk, #TheBroadPodcaster, #UIL0 comment

The Burnet High School baseball team lost to Taylor 10-2 on March 22. Bulldogs head coach Russell Houston commended the Ducks’ pitching and their ability to capitalize on opportunities. “They pitched really well,” he said. “And we made mistakes that really hurt us. They took full advantage of our mistakes.” Houston said the Burnet miscues were “errors on defense and mental mistakes.” “We didn’t make the right play when we needed to,” he said. As a result, Taylor plated three runs in the first inning. Burnet responded with two runs…

A day after losing to Cedar Park 1-0, the Marble Falls High School baseball team’s momentum was cut in a 12-0 loss to Georgetown March 17 in a game that ended after five innings. The Mustangs (4-6, 0-2 District 25-5A) will look to bounce back in a road game at Leander at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22. During the loss to the Eagles (11-1, 2-0), Marble Falls committed eight errors. Against the Timberwolves, the Mustangs made every routine play and even a couple that weren’t but couldn’t get the timely…

The Burnet High School baseball team found itself in familiar territory March 18 against Salado. The Bulldogs (6-4-1, 3-0 District 19-4A) lost their 5-3 lead headed into the seventh inning when the Eagles (7-5, 2-1) put three runs on the board for a 6-5 advantage. That’s when Burnet went to work. Ralston Vance had the game-tying RBI single. Jesse Bachmayer advanced Vance’s courtesy runner, Colby Zinz, to third on a ground ball. Zinz scored on a pass ball for the 7-6 win. “We’re 2-0 at home (in district play), which…

Marble Falls High School senior Jon “Gouda” Zamarippa has committed to play baseball for Coastal Bend College and will sign his National Letter of Intent in a few weeks. It’s the culmination of playing a sport for 14 years. “I wanted to go to a junior college to find somewhere I can play for two years,” he said. “One of my coaches recommended it to me. I went on a trip there, and I loved it.” Most everyone calls Zamarippa “Gouda” thanks to his sibling, Jack. “I was a pretty…
