(Seguin) — The Seguin Matadors evened their District 27-5A record with a 76-47 rout of San Antonio Fox Tech on Friday night at Goldie Harris Gym.
The Matadors used a 12-0 run spanning the first and second quarters to turn a tie game into a 24-12 advantage early in the second period. Seguin maintained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the game.
“We went to the bench, and the challenge was to maintain or increase the level of energy out there and execute,” Seguin head coach Guy Nowlin said of the decisive run. “We wanted to get quality looks on each possession, and we worked really hard on the defensive end to force contested shots.”
Junior Jio Parra scored 12 points for the Mats, while sophomore Noah King added 10. Junior Mikey Hernandez led the Matadors with 17 points, hitting five three-pointers, including three during an 11-point third quarter.
Nowlin praised his balanced attack.
“It’s a win by committee. We all have each other’s back,” Nowlin said. “Anybody’s capable of leading us in scoring and rebounding on any given night. Hats off to those guys for working hard.”
The Matadors are 5-5 in district play with six games remaining on their schedule, which resumes Tuesday when they travel to San Antonio Lanier.
In San Antonio, the Seguin Lady Matadors also evened their district record with a 67-48 victory at Fox Tech on Friday night.
Faith Franklin led Seguin with 23 points. Jaz Gil added 15, and Phaedra Douglas tallied 14. The Lady Mats are 6-6 in district play and will host San Antonio Lanier on Tuesday night in a game that can be heard on KWED.
