(Seguin) — The Seguin Lady Matadors moved above .500 in District 27-5A with a 45-23 home victory Tuesday night over San Antonio Lanier.
After the teams ended the first period tied at six, the Lady Mats outscored the Lady Voks 14-3 in the second quarter to take control. Seguin head coach Veronda Kendall said her team made adjustments that led to the run.
“We changed defenses,” Kendall said after the game. “We made that adjustment, and I think that run was a direct result of us changing defenses.”
One of the key defenders for the Lady Mats was forward Aubrey Glenewinkel. The sophomore had two blocks and came up with key rebounds for Seguin while also scoring six points.
“Aubrey is a great kid. She always works hard, gives good effort, great attitude,” Kendall said of her sophomore forward. “She contributes night in and night out, so it’s not anything new defensively for her to come in and just be a stopper with a lot of blocked shots. We’re really happy with her production on defense.”
Phaedra Douglas led Seguin in scoring with 14 points. Imani Winn added seven points, and Faith Franklin had six.
The Lady Matadors improved to 7-6 in district play and currently hold the fourth and final playoff spot with three games remaining on the schedule. The Lady Mats travel to San Antonio Jefferson on Friday.
(San Antonio) — The Seguin Matador boys’ comeback attempt against Lanier came up short in a 69-65 setback Tuesday night in San Antonio.

The Mats are 5-6 in district play. Seguin hosts San Antonio Jefferson on Friday night. We’ll have that game on KWED.
