Braydon Nelson of Kilgore High School took silver in the Class 4A boys shot put Thursday morning at the UIL State Track & Field Championships, at University of Texas in Austin, and then had the clutch throw of his life, on his last opportunity of the event, to win gold in the 4A boys discus Thursday afternoon. Nelson, a North Texas signee in football, is coached by T.J. Gillen-Hall, D.Q. Scott and Josh Lyons. The state track meet is held at UT's Mike A. Myers Stadium, and had several athletes there on Thursday from the ETBlitz.com area. Read about them all below! (Photo courtesy of T.J. GILLEN-HALL)

Kilgore's Braydon Nelson (above) in thought before competing in the shot put at the UIL Region III Meet at Bullard. Nelson won his third Whataburger / ETBlitz.com Boys Player of the Week, a record, as he's setting all kinds of records this year. Nelson is headed to the state track meet in both the shot and the discus. He's joined this week by Tatum golfer Hannah Marcott (below, with her teammates). Hannah was the low scorer for the Eagles, who qualified for the Class 3A state golf tournament at ShadowGlen Golf Club on May 6-7 in Manor.
