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…

The Burnet High School athletics department began its seven-week summer strength-and-conditioning program June 6. The Bulldogs and Lady Dawgs’ sessions begin at 8 a.m. Monday-Thursday. Girls athletics coordinator Rick Gates noted the first day drew 55 Lady Dawgs, a number that encouraged him. “I think it’s a good number for sure with our outgoing seniors and incoming freshmen,” he said. “We always want more. Several girls contacted us to let us know ‘I’m going to miss this first week.’ It’s a little bit of a transition.” Because the boys and…

Call her Dr. Stephanie Thompson. The Marble Falls High School athletics trainer earned her hood from A.T. Still University, located in Mesa, Arizona, June 4 for her Doctor of Athletic Training that culminated five years of dedication. “It was all online except I had to go for one week,” she said. “I didn’t have to sit down for lectures. They gave me the materials, and I learned them. They gave it to us, and we did it on our own.” In addition to writing papers and passing exams, Thompson had…

District 19-4A coaches selected several Burnet High School softball players to all-district teams, Lady Dawgs head coach Hailey Wooten announced. First team all-district Lady Dawgs are Savannah Gomez, McKenzie Davis and Lanee McCurry. Wooten noted district coaches saw these three come through at crucial times throughout the district season. “Savannah hit nearly .500 in district,” the coach said. “Lanee got a base hit in almost every district game. McKenzie could slap on both sides. This was her first year to slap from the left side, and she did very well.…

Saying the Faith Academy of Marble Falls athletics department experienced a banner year in 2021-22 doesn’t begin to describe the success. The Flames were undefeated in district play en route to titles in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. They repeated as the Class 2A state track and field champions. 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. They were tied for second in volleyball and basketball,…

Despite ending, Faith Academy softball accomplishes plenty

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls softball team’s season ended in a 26-2 loss to district foe Pflugerville Concordia May 10. The Lady Flames made a change in the lineup when sophomore pitcher Jaedyn Hart was unavailable to play. Hart has thrown the majority of the innings during the season. As a result, Concordia made the plate adjustments and ended the contest in three innings. Still, head coach Delaney Ferguson pointed out her players grew in many ways during the season. During the first practice, she noted she had three…

Edwards wanted Marble Falls coaching hires to help students succeed in all phases

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…

Few people may have given the Faith Academy of Marble Falls softball team a chance against Plano Coram Deo in a Class 2A playoff game May 6. But the Lady Flames didn’t pay any attention. Instead, they arrived with the intention of getting a win and set the tone immediately in a 13-11 victory for what most believe can’t be more than the program’s second playoff win ever. Next up is Pflugerville Concordia, a district foe that beat Faith twice in the regular season. The game is set for a…

An unexpected loss not by the Burnet High School softball team caused an unexpected play-in game for the final District 19-4A playoff spot. Following a 10-0 loss to Lake Belton April 19, the Lady Dawgs (4-6) found out that Georgetown Gateway (4-6) outlasted Taylor 3-1. With both Burnet and Gateway splitting the regular-season head-to-head matchups, the two will now play on Friday, April 22, at 6 p.m. at Jarrell High School. “If we show up, I’ll feel confident,” Burnet head coach Hailey Wooten said. “I think we have taught (our…
