HOUSTON — Seth Smith is used to doing what it takes to grow a program. The 2023 Fulshear High School graduate played a key role as the fullback in former head coach Nick Codutti’s run-first system that first led the Chargers on their rise to prominence and, now, he’s got even grander ideas for his follow up — this time as a professional athlete.

HOUSTON — Turning the first ball hit in play into an error is rarely a good sign. It becomes even more foreboding following a four-error loss the night prior, as the script repeated early on for the George Ranch High School baseball team in a season-ending 3-2 loss to Spring Branch-Memorial Friday in Game 2 of the 6A-DII Region 3 Area Round at Cypress Falls High School. The Mustangs won Game 1 5-2 Thursday. All three of Memorial’s runs were unearned and came in the first inning.

HOUSTON — George Ranch baseball coach Greg Kobza probably wishes Game 1 of the Region 3 6A-DII Area Round against Spring Branch-Memorial was played with two outs an inning instead of three Thursday night. Instead, the Mustangs scored all of their runs with two outs as Baseball America’s No. 3-ranked team took a 1-0 series lead with a 5-2 win over the Longhorns at Cypress Falls High School. “We made too many mistakes tonight,” Kobza said. “We made four errors, which cost us three runs.

WEBSTER — The George Ranch track and field team had turned in some of the fastest times on the track anywhere in America this season. Despite again turning in times that would have easily made, or even won, the top meet in other states, the Longhorns, along with the Foster Falcons and Fulshear Chargers, learned just how hard it is to push athletes through the Region 3 Track and Field Meet in 6A at Challenger Columbia Stadium.

KATY — While her young team sought shelter inside Cypress Lakes High School as a thunderstorm forced a stoppage before the bottom of the fourth inning of Thursday night’s one-game 5A-DII Region 3 Bi-District playoff, Randle softball coach Darlene Washington said — nothing. No rousing speech, no calming thoughts — nothing. The nothing worked, as her Lady Lions came out of the break strong to upset previously unbeaten Houston-Waltrip 3-1 for a win in the program’s first-ever playoff game.

RICHMOND — At the end of the day, George Ranch did all it could. The Lady Horns’ softball team, facing elimination twice at home on Saturday in the 6A-DII Region 3 Bi-District round against Katy-Jordan, was able to rally once to stay alive before ultimately falling two games to one to the Lady Warriors. Jordan was dominant in the first game, a 19-3 home win Friday in Fulshear. Madeline Jovanovic homered, tripled and drove in a game-high five runs, while Madison Royse doubled and knocked in four.
