WIMBERLEY—A couple of people asked me at the Lytle game here who I was scouting for. I responded in my usual calm way: “I’m NOT a scout!” I went to the October 16 (one-sided) clash to get to know the Pirate players better for the broadcast of October 23 when they host Llano, which had a bye last week.
If you would like a fan’s scouting report, I can do that with two names: Lytle running back, Chris Cedeno.
LAMPASAS—About a year ago, Jason Gann did not have a great run in the shadow of the Badger campus, but he followed it a short time later by helping the Llano boys finish second in district on the same course.
This month, he was a fine third in the tune-up competition here, but pushed that off the lead paragraph, October 16, when he galloped past Taylor’s Erik Capilla in the closing 50 meters to claim the silver medal in the 25-4A meet.
This is one of my favorite stories—catching up with the point parade in Big 12 football. If these stats cause you to seek nausea control, read at your own risk.
The top three teams in the NATION in scoring are from Texas. Baylor is averaging close to 64 points a game; TCU, 50.1; and Texas Tech, 49.4.
The Digital Divide is basically a term that describes an imaginary line between people that have unrestricted access to modern information and communications technology and those that do not. As I mentioned in a previous article, we did an informal survey at Llano ISD and found our numbers to be about 30% without access, which is in line with other surveys from other schools around the country.
The obvious question is, “Does it really matter?” There are plenty of studies that support the fa ...
Wimberley’s 24-0 punishment of Llano, October 9, reminded me of going to games with my dad when I was nine or 10, and our team was losing.
“Didn’t you tell me we were going to win? That they are oh-and-six?” I would also ask in a whining voice, “Can we catch up?”
He was as mad as I was, but he had to remain the mature adult—not that I knew what the word meant.
LAMPASAS—Eight days before the district Cross Country Meet takes place on the Badgers’ campus, the 25-4A teams gathered to run the same course in a crucial tune-up for round one of Postseason on the Trails.
“My time was pretty good,” said Jason Gann, Llano’s top entrant in the men’s division. He journeyed the 3.1 miles in 17 minutes, 20 seconds, and finished third in a field of close to a hundred.
It wasn’t a victory, but the Jackets did grab a game off a good Taylor volleyball team, October 6, and it was an entertaining contest, won by the Ducks, 3-1.
There was little consolation for Llano head coach John Black. “We didn’t play as well as we could have,” he said.
The Dodgers’ Chase Utley was suspended for two games in the National League Division Series—he is appealing—because he slid into the Mets’ Ruben Tejada on a play at second base, and Tejada suffered a fractured leg.
I haven’t seen the replays and have no intention of watching them. I have no clue whether the play was “legal”, and I certainly don’t care.
It is baseball tradition to go after the man covering second after he steps on the bag and before he throws to first in an attem ...

For those of us with children, the everyday care and responsibilities of being a parent can be challenging, even on the best of days: clothes to wash, meals to prepare, bodies to bathe, homework to check and the list goes on! But for parents of children with disabilities, the day to day tasks can be overwhelming.
The 14U Sting no longer sneaks up on teams as they have built the reputation in Select softball that they will “Bring it”!
In the last two tournaments, the Sting played in two championship games against some of the best Select teams in Texas. They traveled to San Antonio first to play against teams from San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding areas.
The Sting knocked off a strong Austin Storm team to advance to the championship game where they came up short by one run for a second place finish ...
