MARBLE FALLS — Mustangs young and old gathered at the Marble Falls High School auditorium to applaud the efforts of athletes and coaches during the fall sports awards ceremony Dec. 6.
“Way before school even started, these athletes were here working,” athletic director and head football coach Todd Dodge said. “Our volleyball team, these young ladies worked as hard as anybody we had. Our cross-country team was here, basically, in the middle of July. We just want to tell you how proud all of us are of you.”
