GCCISD Magazine Feature: Self Motivated

Matt Malatesta
Nov 05, 2020

BAILEE ST. ROMAIN IS THE HEADLINER AT BAYTOWN STERLING.

Not just in volleyball, but life in general. The GCCISD school gives out the Lady Ranger Award every year to the most well rounded student, which usually goes to a senior, right? Wrong. St. Romain won the award as a sophomore. The school didn't give out the award last year due to COVID-19, but she likely would have won it again.

"I want to be the best at whatever I'm doing, so I push really hard," the senior said. "With all the things I do, it takes a lot of scheduling and my mom is always telling me to take a break. I just can't. "She never really set these high goals for me growing up. I'm just self-motivated. I just keep going."


By the time she graduates, she will have 10 athletic letters (four in track, three in basketball and three in volleyball) and will graduate in the Top 5 percent or better in her class. She's also involved in Student Council and is a member of the National Honor Society.

"Bailee is such a go-getter and she's hungry," volleyball coach Candice Southall said. "Her work-ethic is second to none. It's been great to see her grow as a person and an athlete. "As a freshman, she played on the freshman team and was just so raw and athletic. As she started to understand the game, she used that to her advantage and was on varsity her sophomore year. She was fearless. Her junior year, she stepped up into a leadership role and she's improved ever since."

St. Romain really concentrated on volleyball as her top sport as a freshman and hopes to play in college. "I really love volleyball and being a leader just comes natural," she said. "I'm really happy when I'm on the court competing and I can bring some energy to the team. Like, I'm really loud."

She has aspirations of being a physician or physical specialist, which she hopes will keep her involved in athletics. I wouldn't bet against her in fulfilling those goals. But what has been driving her all these years? "My mom (Kimberly Landry) had records in track here at Sterling that I've always wanted to break when I was growing up," she laughed. "I grew into my body and she was way shorter than me in high school, so we do different events. But that always motivated me." Regardless, Bailee St. Romain has built a legacy at Sterling that any mom would be proud of. Especially hers.

No. 11 Huffman continues historic season reaching UIL State Tournament for the first time

Joshua Koch
06 Mar, 2021

HOUSTON - Huffman is heading to the UIL State Tournament.

It is not a dream, it is surely not a typo, it is really happening for the No. 11 Falcons following a 62-56 victory over Silsbee in the Region III-4A Championship on Friday night in La Porte.

"From never making it past the third round and now heading to the 6th and state semi-final is awesome, it is surreal," Huffman senior point guard Jacob Harvey said.

Junior power forward Grey Soileau added: "It's crazy-making history especially when our program never went past the regional quarterfinals. We have been playing together for so long and we knew we had the ability to be great! Now we just have to focus on winning the next game and getting closer to that ring!"

No. 12 Atascocita downs No. 14 Summer Creek 52-51 to punch ticket to State Tournament in Instant Thriller

VYPE Preseason Rankings #3: Atascocita Eagles

HOUSTON - All David Martinez knew is that his team needed to get a stop.

Atascocita leading 52-51, following a circus-level acrobatic shot from senior Tom Hart III to put them up by one with 4.2 seconds remaining in Friday's Region III-6A Championship, Martinez knew rival-Summer Creek would try and go at the basket one more time.

And they did.

With time running off the clock, the Bulldogs fired one last shot attempt, which in live-action looked for a second like it may have beat the buzzer, which sent the Summer Creek fans and team into a frenzy. But instantly, the referee ran to center court waving his arms saying the shot did not count.
