The Faith Academy of Marble Falls football team lost to Oglesby 6212 Oct. 4 in a contest that ended in the third quarter.

“We just did not execute,” Flames head coach Jay Silvers said. “They were more physical than we were. They’ve been a really good team in the (University Interscholastic League),” he said. “They have a lot of talent. They were strong. (Head coach Jeb) Dixon has done a great job. When he and I talked, they were going to have two (junior varsity) squads. I knew he had a lot of kids there. I looked, it sure was close to 20 kids on their side. They have an established core of seniors.”

The Tigers (4-2), who were the Class 1A Division II runners-up in 2023, earned 209 rush- ing yards and five touch downs off 13 carries.
