A tradition of excellence

This time of year

This time of year, as April showers and May flowers set the stage for playoff season in local school districts, senior student athletes prepare to pass the torch to their younger classmates before graduation’s annual rite of passage in June. It is not a surprise that in a county which earned notoriety as the high school home of legendary NFL Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson local sports teams continue to perform well against competitors state-wide, and more than a few stand-out participants will be attending college with athletic scholarships; proving that perseverance and teamwork pay off— not just with trophies, but with opportunities for the future.

SEALY ISD ATHLETICS CONTINUE TO PRODUCE TOP ATHLETES

Sealy High School’s varsity softball team alone has half a dozen players who will go on to play for college teams with scholarships.

Coach Brittney Whitehead drove the talented Lady Tiger ballplayers to an impressive 25-7 record and a bi-district title last year, and with eight returning starters and strong underclassmen, the team had its sights set on the state championship this season.
