Kowalski hired as Ingram AD/HFC

Ingram Tom Moore has a new head football coach and athletic director, as they have hired Jeff Kowalski.

Kowalski has been coaching in the DFW area, where last year he was the OC/girls track coach at Irving Nimitz High School. He has also won a state title as part of the Argyle Liberty Christian High School coaching staff.

UIL shakes up 3A districts… again

Come this fall, the 3A districts in South Texas will be shaken up considerably.

The new changes, which were released last week, are as follows for basketball, cross-country, volleyball, softball, and baseball:

District 8-3A - Burnet, Llano and Liberty Hill stay in this district, and are joined by Austin Vandegrift and Leander Rouse.

District 29-3A - This district now has Carrizo Springs, Crystal City, Devine, Hondo, Lytle, and Pearsall. Bandera will move to 30-3A, which was an open district, Boerne High School (not to be confused with Boerne Champion), will NOT be in 29-3A as was originally planned.

District 30-3A - This previously open district will have Bandera, Boerne, Canyon Lake, Fredericksburg, Ingram Tom Moore, and Wimberley.

In football, 8-3A will be the same as it was in 2008-2008, with the addition of Leander Rouse. Boerne and Austin Vandegrift will play independent football schedules. 29-3A will be the same as 2008-2009; and 30-3A will be open.

Good luck to everyone on today’s TAKS test!

Everyone here at SAsports.com wishes the best for the freshman, sophomores, and juniors who are taking the TAKS test today. Think positively, eliminate distractions, and success will follow.

God bless you guys!
