The Sealy Lady Tiger softball team opened its scrimmage season last Tuesday at home against Caldwell. Although she noticed some rust on her players, Head Coach Brittney Whitehead said the Lady Tigers learned plenty from the scrimmage.

Although the third quarter had traditionally been the quarter of doom for the Sealy Tiger basketball team, last Friday’s rivalry contest with Bellville served as a flip of that script where Sealy used a 13-1 frame to claim a 45-29 win over the Brahmas.

The University Interscholastic League announced its biennial district realignment for football, volleyball and basketball Thursday morning, Feb. 3.

Sealy and Bellville’s football district remained the same with the addition of West Columbia and the volleyball and basketball districts also remained intact with the addition of Needville. Both were opponents of Sealy’s two alignments ago.

After a three-goal lead was nearly squandered last Friday, Sealy junior Amador Lopez scored his hat-trick goal on a penalty kick and classmate William Forrester provided a header goal off a throw-in from fellow junior Tanner Ellis to seal a 5-3 victory over Harmony School of Discovery for the Tigers’ third District 20-4A win in a row.

The Sealy Lady Tiger soccer team secured its third win in a row to open play within District 20-4A with a 6-0 win over Discovery last Friday but Monday’s contest with Columbus was not as lopsided. Through the rain and cold Monday night, the Lady Tigers and Cardinals played to a scoreless draw at the end of regulation which sent the game to penalty kicks.

The Sealy Tiger basketball team dropped both of its district contests last week – Tuesday on the road in Wharton (57-48) and Friday at home to Royal (71-42) – and wrapped up the first round of district play with a 1-4 record.

The Sealy golf teams opened their season last Wednesday at the Navasota Invitational Tournament and the Tigers’ top team came away with first place in the team competition behind Ethan Doyle’s individual championship.

The Sealy Tiger tennis team opened its season last Friday at the Brazosport Tournament and came back with a silver medal from the A Boys’ Doubles bracket and a gold medal from the B Boys’ Doubles circuit in addition to a pair of fourth-place individual finishes.
