BLANCO—The final race, April 8, before the district 25-4A Track & Field Meet was one of the most exciting of the 2015 campaign. A stride-for-stride duel down deep stretch of the end of the 4x400-meter relay is as captivating as a game-winning, bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the ninth.
"An epic mile-relay battle,"
Maybe winning a championship or some big rivalry game causes euphoria we've become familiar with on TV, but the joy is no less felt by a team recording a victory that breaks a losing streak and thus produces a thaw in the frigid stretch of a lack of success.
The Llano High baseball Jackets, April 10, won a 3-2 thriller over Liberty Hill to claim their first 25-4A win after four highly-irritating losses.
The NFL hasn't eliminated the kick for an extra point yet, but the toe is definitely fighting Athlete's foot. ESPN.com reports ending the kick is a possibility for the upcoming season. And there are these other suggestions:

Any triumph over Wimberley gives you something upon which to reflect.
Christy Vassar, whom it seems, has thrown more pitches than Madison Bumgarner will this year, did not need too many, March 7 in Fredericksburg. She fired a perfect game against Carrizo Springs. No hyperbole in the use of the word perfect: it's as good as a pitcher can do, yielding no hits and no walks, and her defense committed no errors.
ARLINGTON—Faith Academy's superb season fell two games shy of a state championship, March 6, when the Lady Flames of Marble Falls lost to eventual runner-up Houston Lutheran, 66-52, in the TAPPS Class 3A semifinals.
"It was frustrating," said Hall of Fame coach, Jerry English. "We've been a heck of a lot more than a one-person team; just couldn't get it done."
That one person, though, was 6'6"
Have you ever played soccer with a beach ball? That's not so odd, but how about if you ARE the beach ball?
For "Bubble Soccer", players are dressed in person-sized inflatables, encased in a beach ball, with only legs exposed. The teams try to get a soccer ball into a small goal cage, about the size of the goal in ice hockey.
