The University Interscholastic League honored Shiner High School on Friday, September 11 for winning the 2015 UIL Lone Star Cup presented by State Farm. UIL Representative Dr. Peter Contreras presented the UIL Lone Star Cup trophy and a $1,000 scholarship for winning the prestigious award.

"The UIL Lone Star Cup honors the best overall academic, athletic and music programs in the state of Texas," said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt. "It takes contributions from every student, teacher and coach in all facets of UIL competition to win this outstanding award. The winning schools and communities should be proud of this incredible achievement."

With state championships in marching band and softball, and a top 5 finish at state in girls track and field, Shiner earned 60 total UIL Lone Star Cup points for the 2014-15 school year. The Comanches also earned points in UIL volleyball, football, girls and boys basketball, academics and baseball. This is the third UIL Lone Star Cup victory for Shiner High School.

The UIL Lone Star Cup is awarded annually to six high schools, one in each of the six UIL classifications (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A), based on their team performance in district and state championships.
