It was a package deal, and the big-play bundle was bountiful for Llano, which whipped Hondo, 32-20, October 30, and clinched an invitation to the postseason assembly.
The win helped dim the memory of some tough losses, and, with unbeaten Navarro ready to host the Jackets in the regular-season closer, a victory was mandatory to assure Game 11.
“The defense was consistent,” said head coach Craig Slaughter.
Four teams (out of five) make the playoffs from 13-4A, Division II. Navarro (3-0 in district) is the number one seed; Wimberley (3-1) is two.
If the Jackets (1-2) lose to Navarro, November 6, and Lytle (1-2) beats Hondo (0-3), it’s simple, the Owls go winless in district and are out.

“Baylor has become a part of me in the couple of months I’ve been here,” Tiger said.

Visitors to Llano crossing the Roy Inks Bridge may have wondered what was happening Thursday evening, as chuck wagons lined the banks of the Llano River, smoke coming from the host wagon, Crossroads from Midland, Texas, and a few more cowboy hats than normal, even for Llano.
There was the gathering at Main Street Affairs that looked more like an old west saloon with cowboys and cowgirls from the Llano Wild West PRCA Rodeo.

Over the past two months there have been six new flag poles added to the grounds of the Llano County Courthouse. On Thursday, October 15 they were used for the first time. Initiated by Llano County Judge Mary Cunningham, and with the assistance of Llano Christian Academy students, those in attendance were given a brief history of the Six Flags of Texas.
