New Waverly cross country ready for regional meet
Last week, the New Waverly cross country made some history when both the boys’ and girls’ team qualified for the region meet for the first time after finishing in third place.
New Waverly hopes to take the next step when they run in the Class 2A Region III meet today at Lone Star College in Humble.
“It’s going to be tough,” New Waverly head coach Esteban Pecina said Friday. “We’ve got a really tough region. It should be a fast race. We’ll see how it goes.
The cross country team will have a different kind of race than what they faced last week in Anderson, which had many hills. Today’s race will be mainly a flat course, which Pecina thinks bodes well for his runners.
“We’ve been running up and down hills a lot lately,” the coach said. “Hopefully that will help as we run a flat course tomorrow.
“We’ve done a lot of speed work this week on the track to prepare.”
The girls team, composed of Ashlyn Jackson, Whitney McCullough, Myeisha Williams, Kayla Williams, Alena Salinas and Ariel Ballew, will run its two-mile race at 10 a.m.
Jeffrey Currie, Eric Koonce, Clint Brown, Casey Jackson, Ryan Reyes and Zane Jackson comprise the boys team, which will run the 5K (3.1 mile) race at approximately 10:20 a.m.

Bulldogs are back again in 2010
They’ve been here before and know Austin all too well.Two years ago, the New Waverly Bulldogs made their first trip to the state tournament, but it ended rather quickly in a disappointing blowout loss to Tuscola Jim Ned.
Then last March, the Bulldogs got past Shallowater and advanced to the state championship game only to fall to defending state champion Ponder 51-39.
This time around, the Bulldogs are determined to take another step forward and come back with a state championship. They’re back again in 2010, and they say they’re going to finish the job this time. -

The only problem was that Kirbyville never stopped playing. The feisty Ladycats made a game out of it.
Barely, the Lady Dogs held on, escaping with a 52-51 victory in Angelina College’s Shands Gym to advance to the area round of the Class 2A playoffs.
