Three high school football players stand side by side on the field in front of empty stadium bleachers. They are wearing maroon and white Athens Hornets jerseys. From left to right: Player number 40 with short curly hair and a smile, player number 51 with short dark hair and a big smile, and player number 30 with long wavy hair and a cross necklace, also smiling. The background features the maroon running track and stadium seating.

Congratulations to three of our senior Hornets for earning Texas State Coaches Association Academic All-State Team recognition. Andrew Thong was named to the Second Team All-State, while Isaac Pineda and Shelby Akin received Honorable Mention. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication, both on the field and in the classroom.
