Incoming LHS sophomore Sydney Kuehne won a silver medal at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. in early July.
It’s a stunning achievement for someone who began the speech project as a freshman, and won a $4000 Texas Tech scholarship in the state contest.
Think of the competition: Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a national Career and Technical Student Organization; 7,700 of its student leaders, members and advisers travelled to the Walter E.

It may not have been “all good,” but enough was plenty good, as the Llano Yellow Jackets unveiled new faces, new turf, a new result at home, new, dizzying defensive stats, and SportsCenter-esque highlights to Rock, Paper, and Scissor Bangs, 41-12, to even their record at 1-1. It was the first win at Llano Stadium since the 2013 season.
“A feel good night,” said head coach Craig Slaughter, who may have felt the pressure of not just winning, September 4, but winning big in the unusual rol ...
Will Deflategate ever end? Will people like the man wearing the byline ever hush about this? Maybe not.
Tom Brady adds this latest ruling of tossing out the four-game suspension to his four Super Bowl rings. He can wear one now symbolizing the Scales of Justice—or, better yet, possibly just a scale.
I’ll never claim to know if Brady or the Patriots poked holes in footballs to help them grasp a lightweight pigskin, so they could win another heavyweight championship.
I know this, though: what ...
Marble Falls was an innocent bystander—the team and the town—but it was the venue for a horrific incident that now resides in the hands of: the San Antonio John Jay school, its school district, the UIL high school governing body, two boys accused of the mugging almost everyone has seen on the internet, and the victim, a referee at the September 4 football game at Mustang Stadium.
“I showed it {the video} to the {Llano} kids,” Jackets’ head coach Craig Slaughter told me Labor Day morni ...
The Lady JV volleyball team was home this week for a rare double performance for the Llano faithful. On September 1, they took on the visiting Billies from Fredericksburg and on Friday the Harker Heights Knights.
Fredericksburg brought in a team that was just a little too much for the Lady Jackets to handle, dominating from the first serve.
At the net, the Lady Billies were just as dominant, but Llano won some battles.
Freshman Kendall Wenzel muscled the ball past a Fredericksburg defender in t ...
At a special meeting Monday the Llano ISD Board of Trustees discussed and passed a budget and a tax rate for fiscal year 2015-2016.
Several meetings and workshops have been held in previous months to discuss and iron out the details of the budget. The public was invited to the hearings Monday and ample opportunity was offered to ask questions, get explanations, and give input.
Welcome back to the 2015-2016 school year. I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy their summer. One would think school started in the first week of August with all the activities going on at Llano High school. On that same note, we want to acknowledge the extra time and efforts put forth by all employees and students as they helped prepare for the 2015-2016 year.
Thursday afternoon saw the season opener for Llano’s Junior Varsity Yellow Jackets against the Wall Hawks in a non-district confrontation. The Hawks won the toss and deferred to the second half with Llano getting the opening kick-off. With second year starter Ben Walling at quarterback and a solid receiving corps led by Ian Fletcher, the JV Jackets are looking forward to a good year.
After a muffed catch to open the game, the Jacket offense took to the field on their own 10 yard, not exactly ...
