New athletic districts set for Faith
MARBLE FALLS — The Faith Academy athletic department received its new districts for football, basketball and spring sports recently.
Athletic director John Berkman said most of the district opponents are familiar as the Flames have faced them during the last several years.
In football, the Flames will be one of six teams that include Austin Hill Country, Austin Veritas, New Braunfels Christian, Round Rock Christian and Waco Vanguard in Division 1, District 3. The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools uses the average enrollment number of boys in grades nine-12 to decide if a team plays in Division 1 or 2. With an average of 34 boys the last three years, the Flames are in Division 1.
Total enrollment number is 98.
“We have experience with all the schools except Waco,” Berkman said. “We have a good feel for what we see competition-wise. We’ve competed for the playoffs. We’ll compete for district titles as well.”
