Sports writer
Devine Tennis closed their last district match of the season against Carrizo Springs in dominant fashion, sweeping the Wildcats 15-0. 
Head coach Kandi Darnell said that this win was the result of several players elevating their game to meet the moment. The camaraderie among the players has fostered a deep chemistry that has translated to the court in a spectacular way. 
“Our players give each other a hard time when being competitive but are always ready to be each others’ support when needed,” Darnell said.
Darnell highlighted the boys doubles and mixed doubles for being steady all season. The consistent play of their team has kept Devine grounded and…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

It was a long night for Warhorse football last Fridan night in Marble Falls. The Mustangs went up 29-0 before Devine got a couple of touchdowns late in the contest.
Marble Falls prevailed 34-14 as each team moves on to their district schedules to close out the season and chase the state playoffs.
Devine’s first test comes this Friday night as they take on the Carrizo Springs Wildcats at Warhorse Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
Marble Falls put together a long scoring drive to begin the game, taking the lead on Joaquin Aguilar’s 14-yard touchdown run. Aguilar also booted the extra point to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Devine went on a nice drive of their own on their first opportunity, but after eating up the rest of the first quarter’s clock their drive stalled at the Mustang13 yard line on a 4th and 10 just moments into the second quarter.
Just as they had to start the game the Mustangs chewed up half the second quarter clock on their ensuing 87-yard touchdown scoring drive to go up 14-0.
Devine quarterback Karter Brown hit Michael Rodriguez with a 20 yard pass to set the ball up around midfield, but again the Warhorses were not able to convert a fourth and long situation and had to punt the ball back to the Mustangs with 2:06 to go before the break.
The Warhorse defense stepped up to the task to shut down the Mustangs next drive. On a third and long, secondary player Brody Lane broke up a long pass to force a Marble Falls punt.

The Arabians battered the Lady Mavs 3-0 while winning in dominating fashion in each set. Devine won set one 25-11 then it just got worse for Pearsall after that as the Arabians won set…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

Sessions Court will stand as a symbol of integrity, respect

The court in the DSAC building will now be officially known as “Sessions Court” in recognition of the family’s exceptional contributions to Devine ISD and the community.
In December, the DISD Board of Trustees approved the name change, acknowledging the Sessions family’s decades of service. From teaching and coaching to volunteering as scorekeepers and bus drivers, Don, Gayle, Neva, and Jim Sessions have given more than 108 years of dedicated service to the district.
Coach Paul Gomez commented, “What a wonderful dedication for a family that has positively influenced so many. You just felt such a great presence in the DSAC last night! Jim, I know you were so proud of our Arabians and Warhorses. They played with such passion and heart for you last night brother! It was an awesome environment!”
“Gayle and Jim were the only two members of the Sessions family to coach basketball, amassing an estimated 1,800 victories in the sport alone. They also coached other sports, while Don and Neva were math teachers at DHS, and always present at games. This dedication is a testament to their devotion to both the district and the community,” Dr. Todd Grandjean said.
The renaming of Sessions Court will serve as a reminder of the legacy left by the Sessions family, inspiring future generations of Arabians and Warhorses. The court will stand as a symbol of the family values that DISD cherishes: integrity, respect, and a commitment to excellence.
