The Llano Youth Football and Cheer teams traveled to Lago Vista this past weekend to take on the Lago Vista Vikings.
Both teams competed well with the Llano JV notching their third victory of the season while the Llano Varsity fell just short of their first victory of the season.
The teams now turn their attention to hosting the Blanco Panthers in the friendly confines of Jacket Stadium this next Saturday.
BRADY—The only problem with the Jackets’ 45-0, thorough whipping of the Bulldogs, September 15, was deciding who wins the intra-team struggle? That is to say, which side of the Llano ball was more dominant? Flipping a coin is so cliché.
I think the jury (me) rules in favor of the defense.
Struggles continued for the Llano High volleyball team in Lampasas, September 15, as the Jackets, again hampered by injuries, lost to the Badgers in four games.
“Seemed like we were out of sync,” said head coach John Black. “Never really got it going; made too many mistakes. When you start off in Game 1 with six serving errors, seven hitting errors, and seven passing errors, that’s 20 points.”
Lampasas, a team the Jackets had handled in a scrimmage in August, won the first set, ...
Well, not everywhere. I’ll bet that in Madrid or Florence (the one in Italy) or Edinburgh, you won’t find much demand for highlights of Denver’s 4217 win over Dallas. Probably not much demand in Plano, either.
Here’s what I am already sick of: the quarterback having as much chance of escaping the rush as you would have of avoiding those people with TSA caps if you’re waving a bow and arrow, and he - yes, the QB - throws the ball toward the guy selling Dr.
It was a great day to be a Dauber, as all three Llano Jr. High teams came home with victories over the Brady Bulldogs this past Thursday.
It was the opening games of the season for the Daubers as they hosted the Bulldogs. The first game was a combined 7th Grade and 8th Grade B team game where the Daubers stomped the Bulldogs 36-8.
The Llano Youth Football and Cheer teams traveled to San Saba this past weekend to take on the Kingsland Yellowjackets.
It was a tale of two vastly different games as the Llano JV scored early and often to defeat the Kingsland Jackets while the Varsity Llano team struggled against a tough Kingsland squad and were sent home with their second loss of the season.
Both teams now turn their attention to battling the Lago Vista Vikings this next Saturday.
The theme late at night was, “No one wants to lose, but if you have to, then: this was the kind of performance—against a strong team—you can live with.” It included a record-setting number, and it was indeed a confidence builder for Llano.
“We’re feeling much better about where we’re going,” said Llano head coach Matt Green, following the Jackets’ 42-28 loss to Sonora, ranked seventh in the state in 3A, Division II, by the Harris Poll.
Llano was up, 21-14, midway through ...
MASON—She is the “comeback kid,” as far as I’m concerned. Hampered and frustrated for close to a year by an injured hip and foot—like Monet having broken fingers—junior Meredith Zyetz has fought through one disappointing race—autumn and spring—after another.
Success and relief arrived here on the city golf course here, as Zyetz was runner-up in a field of 93 in the Punchers Cross Country Meet.
MASON—Whereas Meredith Zyetz, on the girls’ side, removed a year’s worth of demons in her grand gallop, September 6, Nic George, on the same course, within an hour, erased a memory, albeit painful, that lasted just a week.
“One of the worst races I’ve ever run,” Nic told me, concerning his trip in Bandera, August 30, in which he suffered cramps.
The volleyball Jackets are learning what it’s like to be without some of their top players, and the program, in return, is giving an opportunity to some girls who probably would not have been on varsity till 2018.
Llano lost its last non-district match of the year, September 5, at Lago Vista, and were beaten in their 19-4A opener three nights later by Salado.
“Didn’t match-up well offensively,” head coach John Black said of the contest against Lago.
