The 2022 football season in Central Texas gave fans both a season of firsts and a season of continuity.
Our picks for the best of Central Texas high school athletes, dating back to 1967.
Super Centex Six-Man Football Team: Terry Crawford never needed a crystal ball to project that Riley Sustala would turn out to be a great football player.
It would not be a surprise if the University Trojans football team had a big poster with the word ‘Believe’ emblazoned in huge letters somewhere in their locker room, Ted Lasso-style.
What do the words “Super Centex” mean to you?
Super Centex Volleyball Team: Miriam Williams swung a heavy hammer for the Midway Pantherettes this year, and as a result the program built its most successful season in years.
The 2021-22 Super Centex Athletes of the Year share longevity in common. In fact, the changing rhythms of sports serve to highlight those athletes who come to play year after year in the same uniform.
If the aliens ever arrive and say, “take me to your leader,” Central Texas has a couple of young people who would fit the bill. Jordan Forns and Colby Tolbert are the Scholar-Athletes of the Year on the Tribune-Herald’s 2022 Super Centex All-Academic Team.
Tennis is nobody’s little brother. Or little sister, as the case may be.
Every June, a few high school baseball teams in the state of Texas have the privilege to continue working after the last bell has rung.
You’ve heard the term “student of the game?” It perfectly applies to Crawford junior Kenzie Jones. She didn’t get to where she is today — state champ, MVP and, now, Super Centex Player of the Year — by coasting on her considerable talent.
When everyone on the field and everyone in the stands knows exactly what’s coming — and yet everyone is powerless to stop it — that speaks to the genius of the strategy.
Super Centex Soccer Team: Lake Belton sophomore soccer star Ella Wheeless isn’t much of a talker. She’s a doer. The evidence is plain, simple and significant — Wheeless has scored 93 goals in her first two seasons of high school soccer. In the most recent campaign, Wheeless found the back of the net 50 times as she led the Lady Broncos to the fourth round of the playoffs.
It’s not just the lack of gravitational pull that separated Jelani McDonald from his Central Texas rivals and made him this year’s choice as Super Centex Boys Basketball Player of the Year. It’s the way he also elevated his leadership skills in spurring the proud Cadets to a school-record win total and another appearance in the regional tournament.
The UIL regional swimming and diving meets are scheduled for Friday and Saturday at various spots around the state.
Even the best laid plans get thrown out the window.
Shawn Tolleson doesn’t spend a lot of time on social media, so when the news broke last June that his old pal Mitch Thompson had gotten the head baseball job at Baylor, he didn’t see it right away.
Miami fired offensive coordinator Josh Gattis on Friday after one season with the Hurricanes.
