Being in shape is vital to a team’s success, especially in six-man football. That’s why Faith Academy of Marble Falls head coach Stephen Shipley called for running plays with long yards towards the end of practice. Then just when the Flames thought they were done for the day, Shipley lined them up again to run 40-yard sprints. After all, if the Flames want to add another memorable season to their history, it starts with being in better shape than their opponents. That will especially be important considering Faith returns three…

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.

Mottle will play in the outfield.

After going unbeaten during the district season and capturing the program’s first district title, coaches honored the Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball players by naming two as the district co-most valuable players and other starters to the first and second teams. Flames head coach Zakk Revelle noted it was unusual for one team to produce district co-MVPs but understood why it happened. He noted that coaches are presented lists of players complete with statistics. But because pitchers Justin Mottle (2-0), a senior, and Kade Shaw (4-0), a sophomore, each…

Just as Faith Academy of Marble Falls head track and field coach Steve McCannon predicted, the Class 2A boys state championship came down to the 4×400-meter relay, the meet’s last race May 7. But what McCannon couldn’t have predicted was having to make a change because of one of his relay runners was unable to go. “Luke Ehrig went down in the 100,” he said. So the coach went to sophomore Cross Sanchez and told him the situation. “We knew we had to beat Dallas First Baptist Academy,” McCannon said.…
