In my last article, I mentioned the law enforcement of London during the 1940"s and the favorite was a former ranger, Bud Weaver. Tade Black loaned me a book, The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution, giving the history of the Ranger groups from 1910 to 1920 and this was a time in history that the U.
KERRVILLE—You can't exactly say the Llano High boys' golf team was peaking in a two-city tournament, March 27-28, but you can say it did not play its best and still: finished second in a 13-school event, beat the toughest team it will face in district, and downed three of the closest competitors it has for the Region IV championship.

SAN SABA—It was a solid, if not great, showing by the Llano Track & Field boys' team, March 26. Nothing occurred, though, at the Armadillo Relays that should really worry anyone concerning hopes at the district meet in Liberty Hill, April 15-16.
The girls, on the other hand-off, had more promising results than they've shown in 2015.
The 800-meter race possibly offered the most thrilling—and unusual—finish of the day and night at Mill Pond Park.
It has been a bad start in district play for the Llano softball Jackets, but, in their defense, they have faced three of the best Class 4A pitchers in the state, with a one-inning cameo by a fourth.
LH 10, LHS 0
We reported this score last week. Nicole Thiem, March 20, fanned 11 for Liberty Hill in four innings.
One team hit real well, the other pitched better than that, and both downed the Jackets in the first two district baseball games.
BHS 11, LHS 1
Burnet, March 24 in Llano, got to Logan Bauer for three runs in the first inning. Alex Melvin had a two-run single for the Bulldogs.
"Our goal was to get ahead and then tack on more,"
The Llano County Commissioners Court recognized the volunteer spirit of the American character by proclaiming April 7 a "National Service Recognition Day."
The resolution joins with the Corporation for National and Community Service, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities, the United States Conference of Mayors and local leaders across the country in the proclamation which specifically honors AmeriCorps and Senior Corps participants, but also specifically emphasizes ...
The Lower Colorado River Authority announced recently that preliminary data for 2014 shows that the current drought that has been plaguing the Highland Lakes is now believed to be the most severe drought since the lakes were constructed in the 1930s.
Inflows into lakes Buchanan and Travis, the two reservoirs that store the water supply for the region, have decreased steadily over the course of the last several years, which has decreased the amount of water that LCRA can reliably provide to its ...
