Next Level Sports girls basketball teams competed in two national tournaments in Kentucky in July and came away with valuable experience and, more importantly, invaluable exposure because of the number of college coaches in attendance. Next Level’s under-16 team competed in the Run for the Roses tournament where it finished 4-1 July 5-8. Some players then joined the 17-and-under team for the Battle of the Boro played in the same facility in Kentucky where that squad went 2-4. “They were in the most elite bracket,” head coach Sonny Wilson said…

To say coaches of the Burnet High School Lady Dawgs are encouraged by the number of athletes attending voluntary strength-and-conditioning sessions is an understatement. The average number of high school athletes attending daily is 40, while 21 middle school students are coming. Soccer head coach Kim Myhre credits a couple of reasons for attendance. “The success we had this year,” she said, noting that volleyball, basketball and soccer all advanced to Class 4A Region III tournaments. “They’re showing up and working hard.” The other, and this might be the most…

Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on this writer. In my almost two decades of covering sports in the Highland Lakes, little surprises me. And yet there’s no question of the optimism surrounding sports programs among the coaching staffs of the three public high schools. That’s because coaches can see their players are putting in the work this summer to get better. That should pay dividends during the upcoming school year. If you doubt, please consider…

Doc Harrington made it clear he wouldn’t unretire unless the right opportunity with the right people came along. That happened three years ago when Brian Herman became the football at head coach at Marble Falls and hired Heath Hohmann and other coaches who where on Jerry Vance’s staff in Liberty Hill a decade earlier. Then when Harrington, who was asked to work at Marble Falls Middle School, outlined his vision to Dr. Chris Allen, Marble Falls Independent School District superintendent, and Jeff Gasaway, assistant superintendent, he discovered two individuals who…

Let’s face it — even I am struggling to do my workouts indoors with the air conditioner and fans blaring. So those athletes who use the last invaluable weeks of the summer to arrive fit for the first day of fall training…
