Bay City sophomore Darryl Lopez had a third place in the pole vault at the Yoakum Relays on Saturday, March 7.

   The Bay City Blackcats placed third at the Yoakum Tom-Tom Relays with 76 points coming in behind boys team champion and host Yoakum’s 219 and runner-up Cuero’s 142 Saturday, March 7.
   The Blackcats had two runners record individual second places with Devon Fowler going silver in the 800 meters (2 minutes, 8.83 seconds), and Malcolm Cunningham doing the same in the 200 meters (23.29).
   “Fowler is a sophomore, and it was his first varsity meet, and he was edged out at the finish line (2:08.77 to 2:08.83 by Yoakum’s Justin Ramirez), and (Fowler) gave us a big boost in the 1,600-meter relay with our time going from 3:55 and 3:56 the first two meets to 3:41 with him at Yoakum,” Bay City boys track coach Nathan Potts said. 
   “That’s a drastic drop and we feel like we can keep improving, and Fowler ran very well.”

Bay City girls track team triple jumper My’Destinee Franklin (left) and Ladycats track and field coach Yvette Segura (and the rest of the Bay City girls) are scheduled to be at the Columbus Cardinal Relays on Thursday, March 12.

   So much for a lengthly sport-to-sport transition.
   With only ONE day of practice, Bay City senior Sha’Niya Mitchell captured four gold medals to help lead the Ladycats to a second-place team finish at the Yoakum Tom-Tom Relays on Saturday, March 7.
   Mitchell, a standout basketball player who had not planned to make this early of an appearance in track and field, captured individual first places in the high jump with a personal best of 5 feet, 10 inches, and in the 200 meters (winning time of 26.56 seconds).
   She couldn’t really let go in the 200 meters due to tender hamstrings, but other than that, Mitchell felt good about her first track & field competition since her sophomore year (2013 track season).

Ladycat soccer in playoffs; Boys close to earning berth

Submitted by Baycity1 on

Sentinel photo/L. Scott Hainline
The Bay City Ladycats soccer team and coach Melissa Ursery have clinched a District 24-4A girls soccer playoff berth, and they’re also going for a 24-4A championship with two district matches to go..

    It’s the soccer playoffs with a twist.
   Bay City girls and boys soccer compete in University Interscholastic League (UIL) District 24-4A with the top four finishers qualifying for the playoffs (the Ladycats have clinched a spot; the Bay City boys are working on it).
   And here’s the twist...all eight 24-4A teams that eventually advance to the postseason (four girls team and four boys) will receive a first-round (bidistrict) bye.
   It’s because there is no District 23-4A in Region 3 in UIL soccer, so every 24-4A qualifier gets a free pass in the opening round, which will be played March 26-28.

Blackcat coach sees El Campo as team to beat

Bay City sophomore pitcher Michael Torrez seems to be in excellent position for the out at the plate, but the ball had unknowingly to him bounced away and his glove was empty during an 11-1 loss to Danbury on Saturday (Feb. 28) at the Sweeny Tournament

    Bay City’s first-year baseball head coach Todd Slater looks at El Campo as the team to beat in the upcoming District 27-4A baseball race.
   “El Campo has everybody back, and they have a good number of seniors, so they have to be the favorite,” Slater said. 
   “After that, it’s a toss up with our team, Sealy, Columbus, Wharton and (Brookshire) Royal fighting it out for the other (three) playoff berths.
   “We have six or seven returning varsity players who competed in an extremely tough district against Foster and George Ranch and others a year ago, and we’re hoping that experience will pay off in our new district lineup.”
   But before the 2015 District 27-4A opener on March 24 (a Tuesday) at Columbus (7 p.m.), the Blackcats are attempting to mesh the veterans with numerous new-to-varsity players.

Blackcat track makes most of foul weather

Submitted by Baycity1 on
   It was a miserable day to run, but the Bay City Blackcats made the most of the weather-shortened 2015 Ingelside Mustang Relays on Saturday (Feb. 28).
   “It was really pretty bad weather,” Bay City boys track & field head coach Nathan Potts said. 
   “It was in the low 50s and rainy with winds of 15 miles per hour and more, and some of the schools didn’t even show up, but we were able to come away with a couple of golds in the relays, and we were happy about that.”

"Bay City basketball in good hands with Griffin, Shepherd" by L. Scoot Hainline

Submitted by Baycity1 on
   Don’t know how she did it.
   Time after time, Bay City Ladycats basketball head coach Liz Griffin would not call a timeout and she just let her team play. 
   A couple of turnovers would become four or five or more, but she would let them play on, and it was genius, because a 10-to-20-point run was always right around the corner, and it all paid off in a region-quarterfinals berth for the first time since 2004, according to the banners in the Bay City High School gym.
   It took extreme patience, and letting go of a little control, more than possibly any coach I’ve covered in 40-plus years, and I applaud her.
   And it was a lot of fun to watch, and also hard on the heart!
   Just too bad the referees had to play a big role in the Ladycats’ loss to powerful Liberty Hill.
