Sealy

The Sealy Lady Tigers volleyball season came to end Friday in Flatonia at the hands of Davenport (36-5) in the area round of the Class 3A playoffs. Davenport swept Sealy 25-15, 25-15 and 25-15 to eliminate the Lady Tigers from the post-season. Sealy finished its season at 26-16. Davenport came into the contest highly regarded after posting an undefeated 12-0 record in District 27-4A and had swept Gonzales in the bi-district round of the playoffs. Sealy had advanced the area round of the playoffs after sweeping Brazosport (9-12) in the bi-district round last Tuesday. The Lady Tigers defeated Brazosport 25-10, 25-14 and 25-22 to advance to the area round of the playoffs.

After a season plagued by injuries, the Lady Knights headed to San Antonio for the TAIAO State Championships. “Knowing we would be playing without one our senior offensive leaders, we knew we had to really pull together as a team and stay positive and focus on our game plan,” said Faith Academy Head Volleyball Coach Neil Hammack.

The Sealy Lady Tigers are entering the final three games of their district season with their playoff destiny in their own hands. Sealy took on Navasota Tuesday night at home in a crucial district matchup.

As Sealy prepared to enter the bye week, the Tigers are standing at 1-1 in District 10-4A and 3-3 overall. While some coaches might want to get right back onto the field after a district loss, Sealy Head Football Coach Shane Mobley believes the bye week is coming at the right time for the Tigers.

Sealy came away with second and third place finishes in the Shiner Invitational Cross Country Meet held Oct. 1. The Sealy boys finished in second place behind East Bernard in the 5000-run while the Sealy girls finished in third place overall behind East Bernard and Yoakum. “I think it went fine. We were missing a couple of runners on the girls’ side, but it was good to see some other kids run well,” said Sealy Cross Country Head Coach Anthony Branch.

The Sealy High School volleyball team returned to action at home to face Cypress Lakes High School Aug. 23, improving to a 13-7 overall record.
