Show your support for Marble Falls High School fall sports during Meet the Mustangs. The annual community pep rally is 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, in Max Copeland Gym on the high school campus, 2101 Mustang Drive. It will spotlight the football, volleyball, cross-country, and golf teams.
Meet the Mustangs is free to attend and sponsored by the Marble Falls Athletic Booster Club. H-E-B will provide free hot dogs, chips, and drinks for the crowd.
“We do Meet the Mustangs every year to kick off the school year with our athletics,” booster club President Shannon Roberts told DailyTrib.com. “It’s just a way to get the community together to introduce everyone to our fall sports. At the end of the day, it’s about supporting our athletes and our coaches.”
Tennis is also a fall sport, but the team will be unable to attend due to an away game scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday in Copperas Cove.
The MFHS band, cheerleaders, and Starlettes drill team will be there to boost school spirit.
Roberts, in her ninth year with the booster club, is particularly excited about Mustang sports this year with the December 2023 hiring of Keri Timmerman as athletic director and head football coach.
“I think Coach Timmerman has done a great job and he has a great group of coaches, old and new, behind him,” she said. “I’m really excited about this year, I really am.”
