Fresh from guiding the University of Texas men’s golf team to a national championship, head coach John Fields was the featured speaker of the latest gathering of the Rudy Davalos Horseshoe Bay Sports Club June 28 and sat next to the man who has meant so much to so many — Davalos himself. Davalos, now a Horseshoe Bay resident and one of the founders of the local sports club, was the athletic director at the University of New Mexico when his counterpart at Texas, Deloss Dodds, offered Fields the Longhorns’…

An unseeded Longhorns softball team showed plenty of one of the mottoes of the university — Texas fight — in beating Big 12 foe Oklahoma State in back-to-back contests June 6 to advance to the NCAA Division I national championship series. Waiting for them are the Oklahoma Sooners, whose players have made it clear they wanted to play the Longhorns during bracket play of the College World Series. What’s even more impressive for the Longhorns (47-20-1, 12-6 Big 12)? They have staved off elimination throughout this playoff run. First it…

Saying the Faith Academy of Marble Falls athletics department experienced a banner year in 2021-22 doesn’t begin to describe the success.

The department earned an individual state title in tennis thanks to the doubles team of Ryan Delmonico and Jaden Turrentine. The Lady Flames also enjoyed great seasons in district play.

Rick Edwards did more than repeat the Marble Falls Independent School District’s motto of having an unyielding commitment to loving every child — he lived it. That was apparent by the way the MFISD board trustee voted when it came to policies, funding unexpected expenses such as trips for extracurricular activities, and especially hires. Edwards died May 7 from a brain hemorrhage on the same day he was re-elected to the board. While it’s a given that every MFISD employee embraces the district motto and shows it, the truth is…
