Lake Creek's dual-sport star battles through adversity; commits to Aggies

Matt Malatesta
Jul 16, 2020

Life can be about measurables.

A 4.0 GPA.

A 4.4 in the 40-yard dash in football.

Touching 10-feet in volleyball.

In baseball, it's amazing what the number 90-mph can mean.

…

Lake Creek's Ty Sexton gets his from an athletic family. His uncle Andy Sexton was the head football coach at Magnolia before becoming the AD at Bastrop ISD. His other uncle Mike is also in coaching.

Ty has always been immersed in basketball, football or baseball growing up.

The 6-foot-7 dual-sport athlete recently committed to Texas A&M for baseball, but his journey has showed what he's made of when facing adversity.

"When I was a little kid, I was freakishly tall," he laughed. "I started out with basketball. In third grade, all my buddies on the basketball team where basically the same kids on the football team. That's how I got into football."

The Sextons moved to Montgomery when Ty was in the fifth grade and sports gave him his in. Basketball fell by the wayside in the eighth-grade as he began to really focus on baseball and football. He starred for the 12 Baseball Club.

"I never really thought the recruiting process in baseball was going to happen so early, but it did," he said. "I was calling major DI schools before high school. It was really hot until my sophomore season."

Sexton played at Montgomery High as a freshman but with the opening of new school Lake Creek, he was thrust to the forefront of the Lions' program as a sophomore.

"It's hard to explain," he said of opening a new school. "It was tough. We had to work twice as hard. We had new coaches and had to learn a whole new playbook… It was difficult but is was a good experience. That first varsity game? You talk about crazy butterflies. After the we got going in that first game, you were just in it."

He was the starting QB under new coach Pat Kennedy in the fall and hit 91-mph on the mound during the spring. Things were rolling on the field and in recruiting.
