Smithville program turns corner

Smithville’s Barry Stadium is small and confined. It will be a hostile environment when the Marble Falls Mustangs take to the road for the first time Friday night for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff at Smithville.

First-year head coach Wayne Childs of Smithville said spirits are up in the town that rallies behind its high school students after last year’s massive fire that wiped out most of the Lost Pines in Bastrop County.

"Everybody is definitely excited about everything going on here,’’ said Childs, who has been a defensive coordinator since 2005 at Smithville before taking the head coaching position. "We have a chance in every sport and that’s our goal. We are raising both good Americans and solid athletes.’’

The fire last year wiped out two homes of Smithville varsity players and displaced several more including coach Childs.

Childs said the team rallied to earn its first playoff berth last season since making the playoffs in 1998.
