Coach Robert Klick’s Texan softball team has faced adversity as they made ready for district play.

The first few weeks of track season can be difficult for schools like Wimberley. For the most part, coaches from the athletic director to the newest junior high hire share the belief that students in the athletic program should be involved in as many sports as they desire. It also means that seasons overlap and some get a later start getting into “track shape,” getting work on their explosive starts and speed.

The end of each sport’s season provides an opportunity to celebrate the successes of that single season while looking forward to a playoff game or to reflect on the friendships and effort together. The last home game is different altogether. Family, friends and fans gather — not just to cheer on the team for its last home game — but to recognize the senior players and their parents — for their effort and commitment to their teams and their support of the players and the program.
