Sealy High School’s Wyatt Martinez was named the first-chair trumpet for the Association of Texas Small School Bands’ Class 4A All-State Band. It is Martinez’ second time qualifying for the all-state band and it marks Sealy’s second first-chair all-state honor in program history.

Sealy’s Connor Krenek (utility) and Thomas Clark (linebacker) were honorable mentions on the Texas Sports Writers Association’s Class 4A All-State team released Friday morning.

Krenek was District 12-4A’s utility player of the year and Clark was a first-team all-district wide receiver and linebacker for the Tigers. Krenek represented Sealy on the THSCA first-team academic all-state and Thomas Clark landed on the second-team academic all-state.

Sealy senior Evelyn Harrington led a Lady Tiger comeback with 11 fourth-quarter points to help her team take down rival Bellville 43-39 in its final home game last Friday. It was merely the cherry on top after Sealy punched its ticket back to the postseason for the first time since the 2017-2018 season with a 36-23 win over El Campo last Tuesday.

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

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.
