Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Wishing Luke the best of luck at State! @hayshawkspower @HaysCISD @Hays_Hawks

@hayshawkspower @thswpa One of the stressful times for a coach is checking grades. Glad, I don’t have to worry about these three taking care of business.

Proud of these young ladies. Regional qualifiers and now named to the THSWPA Academic All-State Elite Team. Amazing Honor —recognizing over all 4 years, and only awarded to seniors. Excellence on the platform and in the classroom. #HaysHawks @thswpa

We came. We experienced. Now we get back to work. Didn’t go as planned, but Madie battled and gave herself a shot on her final lift. We’ll regroup, reset, and come back stronger. #HawksPowerlifting

These two have been the foundation for our boys and girls teams. Pumped they get a shot at State!

@hayshawkspower Loved how we competed and showed our strength even without the gear!

2nd Place – Regionals (Unequipped) Best finish in 13 years Several Hawks hit season-best totals when it mattered most 💪 Luke Neely → STATE qualifier Eyan Stigall → Great effort and earned respect throughout the meet. Next stop: STATE. #HaysHawks #EarnedNotGiven

2nd Place – Region 1 (Unequipped Division) The Hawks finished as the Region 1 Runner-Up, our best regional finish in 13 years. Proud of the work this team put in and the standard they set. This is only the beginning. The Hawks are building something special. 💪

Keep this guy on your radar. He’s having a record breaking off-season and he’s just getting started. Whether it’s offense or defense he’s making plays all over the field. Big season incoming. GPA - 3.1 Power Clean - 315 40yd dash - 4.6 195lb

I’m grateful to work with a wonderful team and amazing assistant, Coach Aming. Thank you for recognizing all of our hard work.

Proud of our team and the way our girls competed at Regionals this past week. All the early mornings and hard work paid off so we could shine on the platform. Congratulations to Madie Myrick for punching her ticket to the THSWPA State Championships! #HawkStrong #EarnedNotGiven

12 Hawks headed to Regionals. Another School Record. Proud of the efforts over the season. Get Ready Abilene, the Hawks are coming!

Every state and school district should be advocating for athletic periods during the school day, and this study from the Texas HS ranks makes the case for you footballscoop.com/2026/02/06/new…

Some recruiting tips from someone who did the job at a Power 4 school and ran an FBS recruiting department: 1) Spamming your film under random tweets will never get you looks, it might get you blocked. 2) Your HS coach is your biggest character reference. Give them truthful, positive things to say. 3) Film doesn’t lie, but genetics doesn’t either. If you are smaller than every D1 kid at your position, you’d better be exceptional. 4) Skillset, work ethic and potential over stats. Anyone can run it up on weaker opponents. Who are you consistently? 5) If you want to play college football, ignore the logo and find the right fit. There is a school for you, but it may not be one you see on National TV every week.

Time for more districts to start paying attention to the benefits of multi-use indoor facilities
