The Breckenridge Buckaroos and Lady Buckaroos are beginning to ramp up preparations for their new seasons as the 2025-2026 school year has gotten underway. Buckaroo Stadium is just a month away from being filled with the pride of Breckenridge.
While the student-athletes had the opportunity to train during the summer strength and conditioning program, practices are now more serious and mandatory for them to get in the best shape and position to succeed.
The Breckenridge Lady Bucks high school volleyball team wasted no time in beginning their 2025 season, kicking off the season with “Midnight Madness” as the calendars turned over to August.
With plenty of pomp and circumstance, the girls were led out into the main gym of the Athletic and Fine Arts Center to music and high fives from their coaches, head coach Latisha Clark and assistant coaches Dakota Fowler and Jocelyn Gonzales, as well as head girls basketball coach Sidnee Martinez.
Breckenridge ISD Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Casey Pearce, along with all other girls and boys coaches for the Buckaroos, attended the 93rd Annual Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) Convention and Coaching School.
The convention was held from Sunday, July 20 to Tuesday, July 22 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio. Pearce said that it was the second-largest attendance for the convention as it passed the attendance from last year with about 600 attendees.
Whenever high school football gets talked about these days, it is always led with “Friday Night Lights” and as football fanatics and Texans know, that phrase has an origin right here in this state. For Buckaroos Head Football Coach Casey Pearce, there’s even a small personal connection to that origin.
Access for family, friends and fans to be able to tune into volleyball matches and basketball games at Breckenridge ISD is getting easier.
In addition to the live streams of games hosted by Sports Information and Livestream Media Director Calvin Best and his media class, new Hudl cameras are being added to both gyms of the Athletic and Fine Arts Center.
With football season quickly approaching, the annual season preview edition of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football has hit the mailboxes of its subscribers.
Each July, every high school football team and district in Texas is previewed by the publication as Friday Night Lights nears.
Under UIL’s 2024-2026 reclassification and realignment, the Breckenridge Buckaroos will again compete in District 3-3A Division I with the Clyde Bulldogs, Comanche Indians, Tuscola Jim Ned Indians, San Angelo TLC Eagles and Sweetwater Mustangs.
Breckenridge Buckaroos Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Casey Pearce is officially the new Region 2 Director on the Texas High School Coaches Association Board of Directors.
Pearce was elected to the director position two years ago. He will officially be placed as the director, along with the new directors for regions 1 and 3 through 8, Saturday morning, July 19, at the 2025 THSCA Convention and Coaching School in San Antonio.
A handful of Breckenridge Buckaroos football players will be trying out new helmets in the 2025 season that are designed to improve player safety while creating a truer fit and clearer vision. According to Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Casey Pearce, 12 upperclassmen will be wearing Riddell Axiom helmets in the upcoming football season.
With summer strength and conditioning workouts well underway, Buckaroo student-athletes will soon be kicking off fall practices, leading up to the fall sports season.
The 2025-26 school year begins for Breckenridge ISD in less than a month, with the start of classes Tuesday, Aug. 5.
Before that, the Lady Bucks volleyball team will report Friday, Aug. 1 and the Buckaroos football squad will report a few days later, Monday, Aug. 4.
Just a few days before they begin their 2025-26 season, the Lady Bucks volleyball team will get the special opportunity to tune up their skills.
Before the season begins Friday, Aug. 1, the Sky High Volleyball Club is holding a camp at Breckenridge High School for high school players Monday, July 28 through Wednesday, July 30 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Sky High, run by Director Dayna Masters, is a competitive youth volleyball club based in Stephenville. The club’s coaches will be running the camp to help the Lady Bucks get into peak shape before the season.
