Stevens also holds the Vernon D. Holleman-Lewis M. Rampy Centennial Chair in Gerontology.

But after a long, taxing day at his first University Interscholastic League State Track and Field Meet, that bronze medal looked simply golden to Temple’s Tevin Reese. Reese bounced back from disappointing finishes in his two field events by rallying down the homestretch to finish third in the Class 5A boys 300-meter hurdles Saturday night at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Then it took a new pole and a school record once she got there, but Toone finally walked away with a prize. Toone set personal and school records by clearing 12 feet, 9 inches Saturday afternoon to claim the Class 5A girls pole vault bronze medal in front of an estimated announced crowd of 12,200 at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Defensive drills first - no exceptions.

Squads that lose nine of their first 10 games and suffer a seven-game losing skid in conference generally don’t advance to postseason play.

The Barracudas grabbed two interceptions, recovered one fumble and held the Frisco Thunder to just 193 total yards en route to a 41-25 win Saturday at Bell County Expo Center.
