The Kerrville Tivy Antlers will debut new helmets for the 2026 season as the program transitions to 4A DI.

The design features “Tivy” in script lettering on one side, paying tribute to past teams, along with a new blue center stripe accented by a white stripe down the middle.

The July 4th flood broke Ingram into a million pieces. They built back stronger with a newfound community - and the best football season in program history. It was the honor of my career to be part of the media coverage shining a light on heroes like Tate DeMasco.

🎉 Mission Accomplished! HCCA All-Star Day was a Success!

​Today was THE DAY, and we are overflowing with gratitude! What an incredible experience celebrating these talented seniors in their final high school football and volleyball games. They truly left everything on the field and court, and we are so proud of them.

​To everyone who packed the stands at Wimberley HS to cheer them on—THANK YOU! Your energy was electric and made the day so special for these athletes.

​But most of all, we need to give a monumental THANK YOU to ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS!

​They say that "many hands make light work," and today, that saying came to life in the best way possible. The mission of the Hill Country Coaches Association would remain just a dream without the army of selfless individuals who donated their time, energy, and talents to make today a flawless reality.

​We are so grateful for the dedication of:

​🏆 Our Generous Sponsors
👔 The Tireless Coaches
🩺 Crucial Trainers
⚖️ Dedicated Officials
🎤 Enthusiastic Announcers
⛓️ The Chain Gang
📸 Skilled Photographers
🌭 Concession Stand Workers
🎫 Ticket Takers

​...and literally every single person in between who picked up a clipboard, moved a marker, or pitched in to help. You all made today seamless, special, and a true celebration of community. We couldn't have done it without you.

Pretty cool day getting to celebrate with a group of All-Stars representing the South Hill Country. So proud of the Kerrville Tivy High School coaching staff and this group of young men that came together over the last week to strap on those pads one more time and represent our Hill Country communities the right way.
What an honor it was for the Tivy coaching staff to pour into these athletes all week and watch them compete with toughness, pride, and passion one final time. These young men represented their schools, families, and communities with class from start to finish.
Proud of the way the South All-Stars competed and even more proud of the relationships and memories built throughout the week. Special times with a special group of coaches and players.

What a career. What a competitor. What a representation of #TFND
Ellie finishes 20th out of 72 at the State Tournament, firing a 74/80 for a 154 against one of the toughest fields in Texas.
What a gallery that showed up to support her, special times and moments we won’t forget.
