Nearly two dozen 70-somethings poured into the Central Market Cafe on Thursday, drinking coffee, reminiscing and catching up on the latest news.

Joe had come straight from a medical procedure. Mary was talking about the holidays. Gene circled the group, snapping pictures and greeting friends.

This is Stephen F. Austin High School’s class of 1956. And if you go to Central Market at 4001 N. Lamar Blvd. on any Thursday morning, chances are that you’ll see this pack of seniors clustered around three or four tables, laughing and talking about all measure of topics: old teachers, grandchildren, vacations and, of course, medical problems.

“That’s where we are these days,” group member Keith Rhea said with a laugh. “We’re ticking time bombs.” Continue reading “Class of 1956 Remain Loyal Forever!” »

After allowing a couple of days for the soreness to subside, we’d like to update you on the Hayden Bowers Classic held Friday, December 30. To say that it was a success is an understatement. 20 teams of approximately 170 players participated on a beautiful, sunny day at House Park Stadium. Volunteers served over 1000 waters, 200 Gatorades, 120 hot dogs, 350 sausage wraps, 6 very large briskets and countless dozens of cookies. All 200+ t-shirts were sold. Kudos go out to all the countless numbers of folks who helped with organization, logistics, donations, volunteer coordination, t-shirts, announcing duties, sound, water & drinks, BBQ Pit team, cookies and all our referees.

Special thanks to Randall’s – Lake Austin for their help, West Austin Youth Association & Austin High Coach Mike Rosenthal for equipment and a very big thanks to Coach Lou Mora, Tommy Cox, Mike Szymarek of AISD for generously providing us the facility.

Everyone did an amazing job. In the process, we received over $6,000 in donations with more still streaming in. Checks can still be made out to:

Austin Community Foundation – memo “Hayden Bowers Classic”
c/o Curtis Page
3008 Scenic Dr.
Austin, TX 78703

These monies will be used as directed by the Bowers family in a way to both honor and build on the memory of Hayden. As successful as the numbers were, most impressive was the way in which our community came together as family to celebrate Hayden’s life. This was our intent. Chris, thanks again for the vision, initiative and follow through as Hayden and his legacy of friendship and competitiveness were properly recognized and served by the event, its participants, its volunteers and its contributors.

Steve, if we may quote you “One of the things that made it truly special for me was the fact that while we were there in memory of Hayden, it wound up being an event not mourning his passing, but celebrating what he found most important about life: friendship and athletics.”

See you next year!

Loyal Forever!

It is with great pride, joy and excitement that I announce to you the new Austin High School head football coach and athletic coordinator, Coach Mike Rosenthal.

Coach Rosenthal shared with the interview committee a most impressive plan for the future of Austin High School athletics. We are also impressed by his work with our students at Austin High School these past two years and his work with children outside of our school as he promotes fitness and a healthy life style. He is and will be a loyal Maroon for many years to come.

Please help me congratulate him and help him with his important mission.

Lucio Calzada Jr., Ed.D.
Principal of Austin High School
