Eight-year-old daughter of college football coach confirmed among dead Camp Mystic girls after Texas floods
Kellyanne Lytal, the eight-year-old daughter of Trinity University assistant football coach Wade Lytal, was among the campers killed during this month's horrifying flash flooding in central Texas, the school has confirmed. 'Our entire community grieves with the Lytal family, to whom we extend our deepest sympathies and unwavering support,' a spokesperson for Trinity University, a Division III college in San Antonio, wrote in a statement. 'We know this loss will be felt across our campus and beyond.' The Lytals were among the desperate families clinging to hope of finding their lost daughters after the Guadalupe River spilled over into Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counsellors have now been confirmed dead about 85 miles away from San Antonio. Trinity head coach Jerheme Urban and several players were seen contributing to the search efforts for the missing campers, according to San Antonio's KSAT-TV. 'Asking for all prayers for a miracle for my baby girl Kellyanne,' Wade wrote on X alongside a video of Kellyanne singing a Christmas carol on stage. 'She is still one of the Mystic Campers who is unaccounted for. I'll never forget when she told me she had a lead solo in the Christmas Pageant. She is absolutely fearless.' Wade is a graduate of Trinity who played on the football team's offensive line. He's now the team's offensive coordinator. He and his wife, Malorie, also have another daughter, Emmalynn. The Lytals have since released a statement to Fox Digital. 'She was kind, fearless, silly, compassionate, and a loving friend to everyone,' the statement began. 'Even though she was taken from us way too early, we thank God for the eight magical years we got to share with her. 'Our family wants to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this difficult time. We are forever grateful for the men and women who are assisting in the Search and Rescue efforts.' Asking for all prayers for a miracle for my baby girl Kellyanne. She is still one of the Mystic Campers who is unaccounted for. I'll never forget when she told me she had a lead solo in the Christmas Pageant. She is absolutely fearless. — TUFB Coach_Lytal (@CoachLytal) July 6, 2025 The death toll from the flash flooding has already reached 129 with 160 individuals still missing from central Texas. The tragedy was a primary topic at this week's Big 12 media days, where TCU coach Sonny Dykes and his players wore green ribbons to honor Camp Mystic. Baylor football coach Dave Aranda described the flash floods as 'a parent's worst nightmare.' 'It's beyond tragedy,' he said. 'The last couple days, I have just really been struggling with that. My wife and I have been just keeping up with it and I just wanted to say that, you know, my heart is broken and the girls and the families affected are in my thoughts.' President Donald Trump also discussed the Camp Mystic girls with reporters as he toured the wreckage before returning to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey for the weekend. 'They were there because they loved God,' Trump said of the campers at the century-old Christian camp. 'And, as we grieve this unthinkable tragedy, we take comfort in the knowledge that God has welcomed those little beautiful girls into his comforting arms in heaven.'

College football coach shares social media plea for daughter missing in Texas floods: 'Prayers for a miracle'
Wade Lytal, the offensive coordinator at Division III Trinity University in San Antonio, is using social media in a desperate attempt to find his daughter who went missing from Camp Mystic during the tragic Texas floods over the weekend. Kellyanne Lytal, the young daughter of Wade, is among the at least 10 campers still missing from Camp Mystic following the catastrophic flood that claimed the lives of at least 80 in Central Texas. "As for all prayers for a miracle for my baby girl Kellyanne," Wade Lytal wrote on X. He also posted a video of Kellyanne singing a solo during a Christmas recital at her elementary school. "I'll never forget when she told me she had a lead solo in the Christmas Pageant," Wade Lytal continued. "She is absolutely fearless." Trinity University also posted about how the floods affected their community, which included Kellyanne. "With steadfast hope, we write to share that Aidan Heartfield '26, a Trinity marketing major, and Kellyanne Lytal, the young daughter of Trinity football offensive coordinator Wade Lytal, remain among those missing after the devastating flooding along the Guadalupe River," the university said in a statement on X. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones as search and rescue efforts continue. We will do all we can to support them during this incredibly difficult time." Camp Mystic, an all-girls, Christian summer camp, was impacted heavily after floodwaters destroyed their cabin, and swept away numerous children and counselors in the process. Five girls from Camp Mystic are among those dead, and the camp's owner, Dick Eastland. Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said on Sunday that 400 first responders from 20 different city, state and national agencies are on search and rescue missions looking for the 11 girls and one camp counselor still missing following the floods. Kerr County was impacted the most by the flooding, with at least 68 people dying among the at least 80 who lost their lives due to the tragic event. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a proclamation on Sunday, declaring it a day of prayer across the state in response to the floods. President Donald Trump also told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey on Sunday that he would likely be visiting Texas on Friday. "We've been in touch with Governor Abbott and very close to Governor Abbott. And, everybody in Texas. Kristi Noem is, as you know, been there and will continue to be there. And we're working very close with representatives from Texas," Trump said. "And it's a horrible thing that took place. Absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless the state of Texas. This incredible place," he continued. Trump referred to this as a "100 year catastrophe," adding that "this was a thing that happened in seconds. Nobody expected it." The Department of Homeland Security argued that the mainstream media were "deliberately lying" about what led up to the flooding, saying that "The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region."

Interview: Mayor Ron Nirenberg closes out eight years
As Mayor Ron Nirenberg prepares to depart the office this summer, he's leaving San Antonio with more affordable housing money, transportation plans, a workforce development program and, most recently, major proposals to bring sports and development downtown. Why it matters: Nirenberg is set to be San Antonio's longest-serving mayor since the 1980s. He's reaching his term limits at a time when a major project proposal to move the Spurs downtown hangs in the balance and when the city faces fluctuations in federal funding. State of play: The city has clashed with the Texas Legislature on local control and lost millions in federal health funding under the Trump administration. Catch up quick: Nirenberg will head back to Trinity University in August to work as a distinguished communications professor. San Antonio's next mayor will be either former Air Force undersecretary Gina Ortiz Jones or former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos, who are competing in a June 7 runoff election. Both have strong ties to Democratic and Republican party politics, respectively. The big picture: Nirenberg tells Axios he sees his major successes as: Recent expansions of Pre-K 4 SA and the creation of the taxpayer-funded Ready to Work program during the pandemic. Plans for two VIA rapid bus lines, including one that will run from the airport to the Missions, to create something like a mass transit system for San Antonio. The passage of the city's first true affordable housing bond alongside upgraded housing goals. The $2.5 billion overhaul of San Antonio International Airport, which includes a new terminal under construction. We sat down to talk with Nirenberg about recent news affecting the city. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. We're getting into the home stretch of the Texas legislative session. Are there bills out there that give you concern for the city and its residents? State Republicans are "eroding self-governance in local communities, particularly urban communities where public opinion is clearly not on the side of the culture wars they're waging. "There's a bill called HB 19 that would essentially prevent every urban community in the state from issuing debt to support basic infrastructure." How do you personally think a mayor should toe the line between working with state officials and pushing back when you represent a blue city in a red state? "We have a perfectly fine relationship with the state when we're working together on a common cause and when we have reasonable debate. It would be a perverse relationship with the state if the expectation is, when they abuse our citizens, we shut up about it." How should the city position itself heading into future years of the Trump administration? You have cuts to services and jobs that could harm locals and local institutions, and maybe the city budget and certain projects. "We're going to have to continue to get through the rough waters ahead, and that's the concern I have for the next mayor — that these are very challenging times coming up economically. … We're gonna have to triage our priorities and our resources accordingly." Recently, proposals to bring the Missions and Spurs downtown have left some people feeling like downtown will become too expensive for everyday residents. Do you share those concerns? "We've gotten a handle on ensuring there's a proper balance to the housing development in downtown that is a mix of affordability and market rate and everything around that. The reason for getting our fundamentals and getting our priorities straight … is so that we can do the things that major cities do to build quality of life." If the Spurs move downtown, how much do you think the city should contribute or not to a new arena, and what type of fund(s) should it be if the city does contribute? "I believe that visitor taxes are a suitable source. … I do think none of this will happen without significant contributions from the Spurs and from private equity. The reality is this is not going to be coming from residents' property taxes." What advice would you give to San Antonio's next mayor? "Continue to work hand in hand with (city manager) Erik (Walsh) and his team. "This city works best when the mayor and the council are working in partnership with the staff. … It doesn't work so well when elected officials are only interested in scoring political points."
