Texas State football will hold its 2023 Spring Game on Saturday, April 22 as the Bobcats announced their full 2023 spring practice schedule.

Texas State continues to be in the heart of it for the Sun Belt regular season crown as the Bobcats knocked off the Marshall Thundering Herd in a 64-60 win.

Texas State’s comeback fell short as the Old Dominion Monarchs defeated the Bobcats on a buzzer beater winning 70-68.

I have almost retired from being a race director but still act as a consultant to organizations that want to put on a fund raising event and want some direction. One of the questions that groups ask about putting on a race is what age groups should they include and what type of an award for the winners in these age groups. Looking back at some of the awards I gave to runners and some of the awards I received when I ran in races it seems the difference is how many of the awards are still around. Early races were mostly a wooden or tin column of various height with a figure on top. The figures were of a runner or a victory woman standing with her arms above her head. Occasionally the race came up with a unique figure that represented the name of the race. I had some that were horses, longhorns, and half-moon figures if the race was in the evening. There were races that gave out various sized medals that you could hang around your neck. The medals ranged from a nice 4 inch diameter with a design logo on it to a small 2 inch medal that had the standard runner logo on it. I was never one to have a trophy shelf for the various awards so different locations in the house were temporary spots for them. With house renovations and moving furniture the trophies have been lost.

Texas State snapped a three-game losing streak as the Bobcats held off the Arkansas State Red Wolves for a 66-62 win.
