Fayetteville baseball player Brody Dooley has speed around the bases that makes it easy for his hitters to drive him in. Dooley was also on the basketball team and has such speed that landed him in the state track tournament as well as in the long jump.

Twelve members of Angelo State University’s Rams and Rambelles track and field teams were named All-Americans for their performances at the NCAA Division II Outdoor National Championships last weekend in Pueblo, Colorado including Cason Brown of Schulenburg in the discus.

Acouple of readers messaged the newspaper asking why we reported that Fayetteville’s Chance Konvicka had thrown a no-hitter last week against Round Top-Carmine in the playoffs, when one local radio station reported the game as a one-hitter. As a refresher, with two outs in the last inning of the Lions 10-0 victory Wednesday, Round Top-Carmine’s Carter Marburger hit a infield grounder and reached base ending the perfect game. Upon our video review of the play in question, Marburger was two steps away from reaching first when an on target throw to Konvicka, who was covering first on the play, hit off his glove and bounced away, allowing Marburger to not only reach first, but end up on second. Thus, the play in our interpretation was an error and the no-hitter maintained. That’s also how Fayetteville head coach Clint Jaeger interpreted the play postgame – an error. There are no official scorers at most high schools games (and the play in Navasota was not designated as either a hit or an error on the scoreboard), so any other media outlet can call it a one-hitter (based on how they saw it without the benefit of instant replay). Another radio station broadcasting the game did call the game a no-hitter as well. We stand by our original reporting. – Jeff Wick

Fayetteville baseball player Jack Schley has started his high school tenure off with a bang as he recently qualified for state track in the triple jump. As track and baseball seasons intertwine, Schley has provided a heavy workload for a Fayetteville baseball team that is threatening to head to states for the second time in three years. He has 18 runs, 15 RBI’s, is 4-1 as a starter on the mound, and comes from an athletic family. Schley is the grandson of Fayetteville coaching legend Emil Schley and the son of former Fayetteville baseball state champion Daniel Schley.
