   The Llano Yellowjackets placed 9 seniors on the 25-3A All-District team.  Seniors Matthew Ratliff,  Preston Rabb , Sterling Jameson,  Raven Harron, Jordan Cavness, Travis Lawrence, Justin Saverance, Davis Hill, and Kenneth Smith were the seniors honored.  The big salute to Llano … Continue reading →

   These kind of Saturdays are the saddest of all.  When the football season is over, and you know you are not going to see the seniors in a Yellowjacket uniform ever again.  You know how much these men have … Continue reading →

   The game with Wimberley could be our perfect storm.  First of all, there are no expectations about Llano winning, except players, coaches and Jacket fans.  The 24 point underdog tag placed by the Harris Poll, and the unanimous thoughts … Continue reading →

   The 30-26 win over the 1-5 Taylor Ducks was much needed.   The big negative is that the Jackets allowed the Ducks to stay close.  Llano’s 10-0 lead with 1:01 left in the first quarter was the safest margin.  Big … Continue reading →
