It was another exciting sports year for the city of San Marcos, as many of the local schools were able to see success both on and off the field.

I received a text message on my phone from Darrell Rhodes earlier this week. He wanted me to look over a draft of the entry form for the Camp Ben 5K race he was planning. He just wanted some advice to make sure he had not missed any information. I read over the entry form and noticed the fee for the race seemed unusual.

The Sun Belt Conference— a multi-bid baseball league in 27-of-33 seasons since 1989—has historically been one of the nation’s premier college baseball conferences.

I was visiting the small town of Hughes Springs in Northeast Texas a couple of weeks ago. There is a Wild Flower Festival in the town that is a fun event to attend. Along with the Festival there is a 5K race. The race is called the Wild Flower Trails 5K. Since the area has a forest of loblolly pines around I assumed a trail run would be run through some of the trails in those tall pine trees. I thought it would be a fun race to take some photos of at the start/finish line. Upon checking about the race I was told it is a point to point race. That meant the start was 3.1 miles from the finish and my chances of some photos was going to be a problem. The race started up on a hill on Highway 161. I drove up to highway 161 and tried to figure the direction runners would take to run on a trail. It was a major highway and could not figure how this could be the starting point. I took several side roads that looked promising through some wooded neighborhoods. I found out the race followed highway 161 back into town and then turned up the town’s main street back to City Hall. Why it was called a trail run while following a major highway had me a little confused.

The Bobcats proved who the top cat was as Texas State knocked off the Georgia State Panthers with a walk off home run by first baseman Daylan Pena, winning 6-5 in 12 innings.

As Texas State broke ground to signal the start of construction for both the renovations of the south endzone complex and the new football performance center, there was a sense at work that Texas State is turning a new page in its life that has not been seen since the Bobcats made the jump to FBS.
