Several athletes gathered at Seguin High School looking to punch their ticket to the state meet later this month.

This team made the playoffs and lost in the Bi-District round to Poth, but despite this they still earned some All-District Honors.

Six players from the Raiders team this season were named as part of the All-District team starting with an individual award. Jeremiah Grounds was named the Sixth Man of the Year this season.

Grounds was a great option off the bench for the Raiders this season because he was very productive. Whenever he touched the floor, he impacted the game either offensively or defensively and played a big role in the Raiders’ success this season.

The First All-District team saw three Raiders named, and they were Jireh Cobia, AJ Jenkins and Kordae Johnson. These three were a big part of the Raiders’ offense this season and were relied on heavily for their scoring touch.

Cobia and Johnson were a dynamic duo at the guard position as they moved the ball well and made a lot of plays. But they also knew how to drive to the basket and score easy lay-ups.

As for Jenkins, his paint presence is what sets him apart from the rest. He secured countless rebounds and second chance opportunities for the Raiders this season, and that helped him earn a spot on the First All-District team.

The Second All-District team saw two Raiders named, and they were Avan Woolridge and DJ Amos. These two were also relied on for scoring, but they made a big impact on defense, using their size, speed and smarts to thwart any scoring opportunity the opposition thought they had.

Woolridge also made a big impact on the rebounding category for the Raiders as his length in the paint led to many scoring chances for the Raiders this season.

The Raiders basketball season is officially over and now look ahead to next season where they hope to push even deeper into the playoffs.

The Cards lost the game with a score of 2-1 and all of the runs were scored in the sixth and seventh inning.

The first five innings of this game were scoreless as the Cards searched for offense to open the scoring. But all eyes were on the defense in this game, and the Cards played some very stout defense.

They were led by Wyatt Tipton who pitched 6.2 innings, giving up only two runs on nine hits while striking out seven batters. He was relieved by Ty Wiggs who secured the final out of the game.

As for the scoring plays, in the top of the sixth inning Ryan Carter was the leadoff batter and he was walked to get a runner on base. Then a sacrifice bunt and a ground out followed, and Carter found himself on third base staring at home plate.

Then a wild pitch presented opportunity for Carter, and he stole home to give the Cards a 1-0 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning. Hallettsville responded by scoring one run in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game up.

Then Hallettsville held the Cards to no runs in the seventh inning, and they scored once more in the bottom of the seventh inning to arrive at the final score of 2-1.

The Cards now look ahead to their next game against the Rice Consolidated Raiders on Tuesday, April 14, at 7 p.m.

Enjoying the luxury of playing their home course, the Wildcats took full advantage of the opportunity and captured the district championship.

The Wildcats finished with a total of 370 strokes to win the district title and finished just in front of district rival Shiner and finished 16 strokes above their other rival Schulenburg. Shiner finished with a total of 376 strokes to put into perspective how close this match was.

The Wildcats were led by Collin Morrison who not only came in 2nd place but actually had to win a playoff to earn it. He finished with 86 strokes shooting 43 on both the front and back nine to come up big for the Wildcats.

Next was Trey Billeck who shot a total of 87 strokes to almost mirror Morrison’s performance. Billeck shot a 43 on the front nine and then shot a 44 on the back nine to arrive at a total of 87.

Next was Gage Sullivan who shot a 98 in the district match for the Wildcats. He shot 51 on the front nine and quickly found his game on the back nine to shoot a 47.

Then there was Brady Janecka and Braden Mueller who both shot a 99 and had opposite scores. On the front nine Janecka shot 51 and Mueller shot a 48. Then on the back nine Janecka shot a 48 and Mueller shot a 51 for both to arrive at 99 strokes total.

The Wildcats now set their sights on the Regional Round where they will look to keep their momentum rolling after capturing the district title.

The Ladycats put together a strong effort in the District Tournament and came away with silver medals as a team.

They came in second shooting a total of 476 shots at the District Tournament. They finished 2t6 strokes behind first place Shiner, who shot a 450.

The Ladycats played on their home course, but they still faced a few challenges along the way that boosted their score up and put them in second place. Despite this, the Ladycats still had a great round, so let’s look at what happened.

Leading the way was Kendall Jahn and Rylee Noska who each shot a 115 to finish in 4th and 5th place as individuals. They were each just two strokes away from coming in third place as an individual but regardless these ladies scores helped the team capture a silver medal.

Next was Chloe Brandt who shot a 122 she a really strong front nine shooting a 58 but then the back nine was a little but tougher as she finished with a 64. Next was Harley Thornhill who was the opposite of Brandt.

Thornhill shot a 63 on the front nine but then came storming back on the back nine to shoot a 61 and shave two strokes off her score to arrive at a 124 final stroke total. Then last but certainly not least was Aubree Breska, Breska finished with a 136-stroke total and like Thornhill, she took two strokes off her game on the back nine. She shot a 69 on the front and then a 67 on the back nine to arrive at 136 stroke total and keep her team in the running for second place in the district.

The Weston Krpec hit a single that brought home another run for the Cards. This gave them a 3-0 lead going into the second inning.

After keeping the Sharks off the board in the bottom of the first inning, the Cards went back to work on offense. Parker Meyer got the party started with a leadoff double, but it was followed by two outs from the Sharks.
