The Sealy Tiger baseball team used a 12-run first inning to notch a 15-2, run-rule win in five innings over Mickey Leland Prep in the bi-district round of the playoffs last Friday night at Aubrey “Mutt” Stuessel Stadium in Sealy.

Sealy High School senior athlete Draper Parker made his commitment to play football for Missouri Southern State University Saturday afternoon. Parker collected 1,025 receiving yards and 14 receiving touchdowns to help the Tigers win an undefeated district championship and go three rounds deep in the playoffs.

The Sealy Lady Tigers secured a 24-2 win in the bi-district round of the playoffs over Houston Wheatley through the rain last Thursday at home. Sealy will head to Montgomery High School this Friday, May 7, to face Splendora in the area round.

Austin County will be represented at the University Interscholastic League’s track and field state championship this week at Mike A. Myers Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin.

The final crop of track and field athletes was whittled down to the tops in Texas following regional championship action across the lone star state last week. Locally, Sealy’s Breanna Brandes (pole vault) and Bellville’s Kirby Marik (high jump) earned second-place finishes at the Region III Championship at Challenger Columbia Stadium in League City last Friday and Saturday.

The Sealy Tiger golf team wrapped up its season at the Region III Championship at the Raven Nest Golf Club in Huntsville as the eighth-place team with a high individual finish in 17th overall. Although head coach Cody Carruthers has taken an individual golfer to regionals every year he’s been in Sealy, this year was the first time the Tigers brought a whole team thanks in part to Ethan Doyle’s first-place individual finish at the district championship in Navasota.

The Sealy Lady Tiger softball team will open its 11th straight postseason trip with a home game against Houston Wheatley Thursday with the first pitch set for 5 p.m. at Sealy High School.

After the Sealy Tiger baseball team started the regular season on a 3-14 skid, it locked in a playoff spot with a 4-0 win over Wharton last Saturday at Aubrey “Mutt” Stuessel Stadium and head coach Dane Bennett said, “We can now call ourselves a playoff baseball team.”
