HORSESHOE BAY— Two men approaching 50, one who’s already had several birthdays in that decade of life, and a youngster at age 42, gathered at Slick Rock Golf Course on the first day of October.
Just like any other regular weekend players, who make a living between Thursdays and Sundays.
2003 PGA Champion, Shaun Micheel, was on hand.
The Llano Sub-Varsity teams tangled with the rival Burnet Bulldogs this past Thursday at Jacket Stadium and the fans were treated with two hotly contested ballgames.
The Llano Freshman defense had to stop a last minute Bulldog drive deep in Llano territory to win their fourth game of the season and remain undefeated while the Llano JV suffered a tough loss in a defensive struggle to even up their record to 2-2 for the season.

The Llano Jr. High Daubers traveled to Burnet this past Thursday evening to tangle with the Bulldogs in their third game of the year.
The 7th Grade B team Daubers won going away by a score of 28-0. The 7th Grade A team Daubers thumped the Bulldogs 22-2, while the 8th Grade Daubers lost the third and final game of the night 24-22.
The Daubers will now face the Johnson City Eagles this next Thursday in Llano at Jacket Stadium.
The Llano Youth Football and Cheer teams hosted the always tough Blanco Panthers this past weekend. Both teams competed well only to come up short with the Llano JV losing their first game of the season late in the fourth quarter while the Llano Varsity fell to the defending champion and undefeated Panthers.
The Junior Varsity now gets a week off from playing while the Varsity Jackets head to Mason to take on the Punchers this next Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

LAGO VISTA—A half day’s work isn’t recommended, but when the half equals what Llano did, it would be accepted with the color and majesty of autumn leaves. The Jackets, against a team which humbled them a year ago, were superb in constructing a 31-0 lead, the cornerstone of a 51-15 win.
“The kids did well,” said assistant head coach, Ryan Priem.
FREDERICKSBURG—Nic George made it two consecutive fine races with a second-place finish in the Billies Cross Country Invitational. A good and appropriate showing—on the second day of autumn.
“I tried to keep up with Austin Zirkel of Medina,” Nic said, “but I should have decided sooner, because the gap was too big to make up.
FREDERICKSBURG—The freshman and the senior from Llano ran side by side in the Billies Cross Country Invitational, and the freshman won that duel—by a second. Anna Casey, for the first time in a brief varsity career, was the top Lady Jacket in a two-mile race, September 23, while Meagan Riley was next, and both finished in the top nine in a field of 64.
The pair led Llano to fourth-place in the eight-team standings.
“I was pleased,” Casey told me.
The Llano volleyball team continues to play as hard as it can, but the scoreboard’s bigger number has eyes for someone else.
Leander Glenn and Burnet swept the Jackets, September 19 and 22, and they remain winless (0-4) in 19-4A play.
“Working with lots of different lineups,” head coach John Black sighed in frustration.
The Llano Sub-Varsity teams were finally able to host a home game after being on the road for the first part of the season. The Llano Freshman held on to win their game against Lago Vista to remain undefeated and win their third game of the season while the Llano JV suffered a heart-breaking loss to the Vikings to suffer their first defeat of the year.
Both teams now turn their attention to playing Burnet as they host the Bulldogs this Thursday in Llano at Jacket Stadium.
The Llano Jr. High Daubers traveled to Lago Vista this past Thursday evening to tangle with the Vikings in their second game of the year.
The night started with a combined 7th and 8th Grade B team game that the Lago Vista Vikings won in a hard fought game 22-6. There were no stats available to report for this game, although this should be the last time this year where the 7th and 8th grade B teams are combined for a game.
In the second contest, the 7th Grade A team Daubers thumped the Vik ...
