Volunteers play a key role in keeping the City government close to the people it serves and provides ideas, feedback and suggestions and may serve as a sounding board for proposed policy. The City of Llano City Council depends on the input from residents serving on Boards, Commissions and Committees.
No doubt when the young men from Llano County who traveled to Camp Terry near Austin in April, 1862 to enlist as soldiers in the 17th Texas Infantry, Co. E, under Captain Seth Mabry, the boys felt engagements in skirmishes and battles would soon follow once their training period was completed.

BLANCO—Some veteran,
successful athletes; a
new face or two; and a face
quite well-known, even
though it was his first job as
head coach of Track & Field
in about a decade.
“Always fun watching
them compete, always some
areas [they} may do a little
better.” Oh, where are my
manners? That’s Athletic Di-

Wyatt Casey, who went from the gridiron to winter training, easily captured the 400-meter race at the Panther Relays in a time of 50.99 seconds. “It’s a good time from which to work,” he told me. “I know what I’m capable of.” Casey ran a 50.3 indoors in a race in Arkansas.

“We’re trying to find the right lineup, the right spots,” declared the baseball Jackets’ head coach, ...
WIMBERLEY—The softball Jackets shook off a frightening Friday and authored a superb Saturday at the Texans’ tournament, February 27-28.
Llano was roughed up by a trio of foes in merciless fashion on Day One; they outscored the Jackets by a combined 28 runs to 7. The host team got it started with a 10-0 win.
In Game Two, Kamri Thompson and Molly Lindner had two hits each against Seminole.
In the nightcap of a lengthy triple-header, Kendall Wenzel had two singles, stole three bases, scored tw ...
