tive group of 400 meter runners.
Many individuals won valuable
points for their teams by qualifying
for the district finals, but will not be
going to regionals.
Athletes from Baytown who fell
into that category included (for Lee
boys) Brodrick Peterson, Kevon Mor-

Chris Thierry, Joseph Polk, Martin

In under squad action, the Sterling
boys followed the varsity’s lead, win-
ning it all with a team total of 158
points. The Jaguars of Central were
the second place team with 116.
Lee’s JV boys finished fourth with
51.
The Sterling girls made it four for
four with an astounding team total of
214 points. The second place team
was Vidor with only 101.
Lee’s JV girls took fifth place with

The news just came as icing on the team (2n<*» 3:21.17).
As usual, the Sterling boys were
performed as expected, winning both
the 800 meters (2:17.08) and the
1600 meters (5:08.42) with relative
ease.
Other Lady Ganders among the top

Herndon has come on strong in this
her senior season, and still feels she
has not reached her full potential. If
she manages to reach her full poten-
tial at regionals, she could also be on
her way to Austin.
Roberson, of course, is a certain
state-qualifier and reports feeling
very strong for this late in the season.

Gander bats overshadow 1-hit,
shutout performance by Fullick
The Sterling softball team will travel to Vidor Monday for a do-or-
die playoff game with the Lady Pirates at 2 p.m. to decide which
team will receive District 22-5A’s second and final berth in the bidis-
trict playoff round.
The Lady Rangers used a three-run seventh inning Tuesday to
come back from a 3-1 deficit and beat Vidor 4-3 to force Monday’s
decisive showdown. Both Sterling (13-11) and Vidor have identical
9-3 district records.
