George Ranch Basketball competed against Tomball Memorial at the VYPE Preseason Tournament on Saturday, September 26, 2020. The Longhorns came out victorious against Tomball with a final score of 45-37.
HOUSTON - Looking towards the 2020 season, Kate Zora envisioned her 500th career victory would come in August.
Due to COVID-19 pushing back the beginning of the season for Class 6A programs and the University Interscholastic League eliminating tournament play, that milestone would have to wait.
On Tuesday, with a 3-0 victory over Tomball - pushing Klein's overall record to 15-0 and 6-0 in district play - Zora reached No. 500.
"You don't get anywhere without great athletes that want to work hard every single day and that has attributed to the success that we've had," Zora, who has coached at FB Bush, Round Rock Westwood, A&M Consolidated and Klein in her career, said. "It's like a business, your best asset isn't what your product is but the people. We try to invest a lot of time and effort on building relationships. I think that's been a big attribute to the success."
Congratulations to @coachzoravb on her 500th win & to @KleinVolleyball on another win!!! Let's keep it going! pic.twitter.com/MyDSjXIJyr

Huffman improved to an impressive 6-0 this past weekend with a 49-21 over Lumberton. A big piece in the win was Jacob Watson, who finished with 100 yards and two scores on seven catches. Then on the defensive side of the ball he had an interception. What a performance by him! A VYPE Helmet Sticker for him.
Sweeny rolled to a 56-13 victory over Wharton, which snapped the Bulldogs two-game skid and improved their record to 2-5 on the season. The Bulldogs' were led by Trace Holmes who finished 7 of 9 for 172 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Holmes also had one rushing score and seven tackles and an interception! What a game on both sides of the ball.

Can't you just imagine Keith Jackson's legendary Rose Bowl call of Vince Young's final touchdown against USC being played here? "He's going for the corner ... he's got it!" D'vonne Hmielewski did just that sealing an upset victory over No. 5 Bellville last weekend. Hmielewski finished an impressive 12 of 15 for 175 yards, one touchdown and an interception and then rushed for another 90 yards and two scores, including the game-winner, on 24 carries. What a game, what a win for Sealy!

The Blue Jays are coming off a 28-20 win over Stafford last week. A big key to victory was the play of running back Walker Warncke. He has been unbelievable this season. Warncke finished with 151 yards and a score on 35 carries.

We all know how good the running game of El Campo is but it is time to give a nod to the defensive unit! In a 35-14 win over Brazosport, Jacob Lopez had an impressive game registering 10 tackles and a fumble recovery to lead the defense.
In a 35-14 victory over Splendora, Livingston got major contribution from wide receiver Julian Gardner, who finished with 140 yards and two scores in just five catches. What a night for him.

In a 34-32 victory over Cypress Ridge over the weekend, Ben Moseley had a big game. Moseley finished with 135 yards and a touchdown in five catches. One of those catches was SportsCenter-worthy. Moseley got turned around and then made a one-handed catch for a 30-yard completion. On top of making a one-handed catch Moseley dragged both of his feet to make sure it was a catch. That is not an easy catch to make. He made a Division I, NFL-level grab.

Spring Woods through the first four games of the year is 2-2. Not a bad start for the Tigers. A key player for the Tigers thus far has been junior Anthony Rodriguez. He has been key in the kick return game and defensively. Let's start on the defense. Rodriguez actually leads District 17-6A in interceptions with three through the first four games. He also leads the district in punt return yards with 67, averaging 22.3 yards per return. Rodriguez also has eight kickoff returns, averaging 14.5 yards per return.

The Memorial Mustangs are currently the queens of District 17-6A, posting an 11-4 overall mark and so far going 7-0 in district contests. Memorial is coming off a 3-1 victory over Cy Ridge on Tuesday, which kept them undefeated in district play. Lyla Traylor (140 kills) and Kingsley Wallace (132 kills) have been key pieces to the offensive unit as Logan Leroux (260 assists) and Caroline Howell (165 assists) have been mainly setting them up. Defensively, Lauren Elie leads the team in digs with 222, followed by Traylor's 183 and Megan Xie's 166. This team is loaded. This is a big weekend coming up for Memorial as they will host a dual-match with Ridge Point and Pearland Dawson at the Don Coleman Coliseum.
Fantastic day for Spartan XC. The varsity boys finished 🥇, and the varsity girls 🥈 at the CFISD XC Invitational.

Great character day! This team is resilient and full of competitors. Bring on the District meet! pic.twitter.com/t5TXRhfzy0
In Division I, the Stratford boys took first place. Maddox Durnell took sixth overall with a time of 16:40.70 and just two seconds behind him was teammate Jackson Potter. They are both sophomores. Finishing ninth overall was junior Zach Tobin (16:44.70) and in 10th was sophomore Jacob Waltz (16:44.70). Sophomore William Wylie took 12th with a time of 16:48.40. A great sign for Stratford that four of their five Top 15 finishers this past weekend are just sophomores. Another big nod here is the team Stratford beat out for the title was powerhouse The Woodlands.
On the girls' side, Stratford took second overall as a team. The group was led by freshman Niamh Collins, who posted a time of 19:27.20. Sophomore Maggie Pearce took sixth with a time of 19:31.20 and freshman Allie Weinhardt finished eighth overall with a time of 19:37.70. Two freshmen finishing in the Top 10 is impressive.
