Varsity Devine Tennis’ season has come to an end after multiple hard fought matches falling  to Fredericksburg, 17-2.  There were several matches that went the distance, showcasing the talent and determination the Warhorses and Arabians played with all season.  
“We had three matches that we lost in the split tiebreakers and two matches where we came back from behind to win in a third set tiebreaker,” Head coach Kandi Darnell said. “I was really pleased with the way our kids fought and competed throughout the match.”

Devine was twice ready to run away with a victory over visiting Carrizo Springs last Friday as they took an early 14-0 lead and a late 28-14 advantage at Warhorse Stadium.
However, things got a little hairy on each occasion as the Cats shaved multiple 14-point deficits down, but the Warhorses buckled down to pull out the 28-20 victory.
Devine wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, striking early in the first quarter when quarterback Karter Brown…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.
