Sealy

The Sealy Lady Tiger basketball squad had only one game last week before another solo non-district match was scheduled to start this week of play Tuesday ahead of the Ganado Tournament this weekend. Sealy earned a 48-39 nondistrict win over Class 6A Spring Woods last Monday at home to move its early overall record to 3-5.

The Sealy Tiger basketball team was scheduled to open its regular season earlier this week on the road in Columbus after a quick turnaround following the end of the football season. Head Coach Cody Carruthers returns for his second year at the helm after serving as previous head coach Ray Dabney’s assistant.

The Sealy Lady Tiger volleyball team earned multiple alldistrict recognitions including the Defensive MVP in Bailey Koy, five on all-district teams, four more all-district honorable mentions and 14 academic alldistrict distinctions.

The China Spring Cougars stymied the Sealy Tigers early and often and rolled to a 48-7 win in the Area Championship at Waco ISD Stadium Friday night to eliminate Sealy for the second straight season.

The Tigers served as the visitors at the neutral site and although both teams traded three-and-outs on their first drives, Tristan Exline pulled down an interception on the third play of Sealy’s second drive and Kyle Barton cashed in on the other end to open the scoring.

After wins in the first round of the playoffs, the Sealy Tigers and China Spring Cougars are set to rematch last year’s regional semifinal tilt in this year’s Area Championship this Friday at 7 p.m. at Waco ISD Stadium.

The Sealy Tigers used two rushing touchdowns from senior Ethan Hart, a fake punt touchdown from senior Connor Krenek and multiple defensive stops in the red zone to claim their fourth Bi-District Championship in five years with a 21-19 win over the Silsbee Tigers Friday night at W. W. Thorne Stadium in Aldine.

Sealy advances to face China Spring in the Area Championship which will be played at Waco ISD Stadium next Friday, Nov. 19, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

The Sealy Tiger cross country teams both finished 16th in their respective races at the Class 4A State Championship meet Saturday morning in Round Rock. It was the first time since 1991 that any team represented Sealy at state and it was the first time since 1990 that both teams qualified for the last meet of the year.

Bellville senior Lawson Meiers also represented Austin County at the state meet as an individual qualifier for the Brahmas and finished 61st overall.

The Sealy Tigers closed the regular season with a 43-0 win over the La Marque Cougars to secure the No. 2 seed from District 12-4A-D2 behind strong performances from members of the Class of 2022.

Sealy is set to face Silsbee in the bi-district round of the playoffs next week with details still to be determined as of postgame.

After forcing a three and out to open the game, Sealy held the ball for 2:10, built a 16-point lead and never looked back to help earn a 58-7 win in the Battle of the Tigers in Wharton Friday night at Eddie Joseph Memorial Stadium.

In the penultimate District 12-4A-D2 contest, Sealy improved its record to 3-2 and Wharton fell to 0-5. With a La Marque loss to Bellville Friday night, Sealy secured a playoff berth for the second year in a row.
