So let’s do a quick review…

Staff photo by Jennifer Fierro What a difference a week makes. Some teams have posted surprising wins, others have earned decisive victories and still others are showing their program’s heart and fight and making people proud. That’s why we love sports. It unifies people in ways that other activities may not. The girls have played three district basketball games, while the boys began…

Photo by Martelle Luedecke/Luedecke Photography The basketball season has turned to district play right around the time soccer season is about to heat up. And very shortly, spring sports will officially begin after-school practices. As always the spring semester will be busier than the fall with more sports happening, and that means a greater opportunity for incredible memories and historical moments. Since there’s…

Photo by Madison DeBerard A mandatory five-day break from the University Interschlolastic League that most associations across the state follows meant local athletic departments didn’t call for practices or games leading up to the Christmas holiday. But my guess is some players in the Highland Lakes still got some work in on their own, especially those whose teams haven’t had the success leading up to the…

Photo by Martelle Luedecke/Luedecke Photography It’s hard to believe students have one more week before taking a two-week vacation from classes. But athletes will play in some contests before and after Christmas to keep them sharp and ready for the opening of district play.

CAPTION: The Edna offensive line controls the line of scrimmage against the Llano Yellow Jackets and paves the way for success. Photo by Martelle Luedecke/Luedecke Photography The Texas high school football season has ended for the Highland Lakes region, which has me all in my feelings. It’s a difficult time when one sport ends, particularly when it hits me that these teams have seniors who’ve given so much to their programs and left memories that won’t be quickly erased. Saying thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but sports is all…
