After winning a record 12 state team championships, Brock High School ended Mason’s streak last year. Mason had a young team last year with only one senior, but these young players understood what it means to play tennis for Mason and that is to compete at your highest level and to carry on the tradition of excellence that was established back in the early 70’s. These players took that loss last year real hard and dedicated themselves to retaking that title.
Opening Day for Mason Youth Baseball and Softball will be on Saturday, March 19th. Please come out and enjoy a day at the park. There will be a parade starting at 10 a.m. in front of the Dr Pepper Bottling Co. and ending at the ballpark. Opening ceremonies will begin at 10:30 and games will start at 11 a.m.
While the rock-stacking fans were flooding into Llano, another tournament was happening at the golf course. Contestants from 30 Texas cities and 3 states converged to fling the plastic discs that derived from college students playing with pie pans as early as 1938. Today’s discs are more refined and aerodynamic and more accurate. The development of the disc popularized challenging games such as disc golf and the rise of competitions, clubs and associations.

The Llano Special Olympics Yellow Jackets participated in the 2-day Special Olympics Basketball Tournament, March 4 and 5 in San Marcos. The event brought together students from elementary to high school from schools across Central Texas. The team participated in unified basketball where half the team has special needs, and the other half can assist and play with them.
One Jacket is heading to state, and two who missed were also outstanding in the Powerlifting Association, Region II, Class-4A Meet, March 12. “Great accomplishment,” declared head coach Clint Easley. A robust nine from Llano made it to the prestigious event at Robinson High School near Waco. Dalton Dewveall, who plays a bit of tennis—see Spring Sports Special—and football, achieved one of his major goals.
I’ve written this before, but my attacks were on Texas and Texas Tech. I didn’t like the Longhorns wearing black on the basketball court, and I really didn’t like seeing Tech in all that gray in football. I’ll bet Chris Christie will get back into the GOP presidential-nomination race and then beat Hillary Clinton, before Texas wears black at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium.
I’ve written this commentary before, and I will be glad to stop the repetition if someone would listen to me! The general theme is: the baseball season is too long; the specific subject today is Spring Training, the main culprit. Are you going to tell me it takes four or five weeks to get ready for the 162-game endurance test?
