What an exciting weekend for the Westbury Christian Boys’ Basketball Team! After beating Second Baptist at the State Semi-Finals with a score of 70-54, the Wildcats then traveled to Mansfield on Saturday to compete against Dallas Christian School for the TAPPS 4A state title.  This was the Boys’ Basketball Team’s 17th State Championship.  The boys went on to win the trophy with a score of 58-48! The team is headed up by Coach Russell Carr.  “We were the only private school team to win a basketball state championship this year,” said Carr. “There were 7 Houston teams represented in the state tournament across 5 different classifications.”

It was a good ending to a long season.  “We had a team of 3 seniors and the rest all underclassmen,” said Carr.  “They played well together and were committed to getting better all season.  They did not focus on what they were not, rather what they were.  They were the epitome of Championship Effort, Team Attitude and Servant Leadership.  I am a very proud coach!”

Westbury Christian returned to the top of TAPPS 4A

WESTBURY CHRISTIAN WILDCATS
2012-2013 TAPPS 4A STATE CHAMPIONS
Westbury Christian wins TAPPS title by beating Dallas Christian 58-48 at Mansfield Legacy to claim the boys state championship - the program's 17th state championship Saturday March 2nd. When the boys program lost the last two seasons TAPPS Title opportunities, the girls program went on its four straight  TAPPS State Titles. While the lady wildcats came up a game away short to the FINAL FOUR this year, the boys found a way to take the state title back this year to keep the winning tradition. The young wildcats will only graduate one starter of the three seniors this year which will give coach Carr a great opportunity to come back stronger next year.
WESTBURY CHRISTIAN LADY WILDCATS
2012-2013 TAPPS 4A DISTRICT 4 CHAMPIONS 
On the girls side, the lady wildcats will again graduate a majority and almost half of the varsity team with six seniors same as the last two season, leaving only two starters from this year. It will be a rebuilding process of a young team for coach Bailey next year.

IT"S SHOWTIME 6PM Tonight @ Pope John XXIII Katy Texas TAPPS 4A Regional "IT'S A REMATCH"

THE GAME…

Fort Bend Christian started a stellar season going over thirty wins including a victory at Westbury Christian Lady Wildcats den by 8 points.  The Lady Eagles look to soar and land their chance to win the District 4 Title, but was spoiled by a couple of losses to the Lady Pioneers of Lutheran South. One in the regular season and the second was the semi finals of District 4 Tournament. It was an opportunity missed by the Lady Eagles to play Westbury Christian for the District 4 Title who took the Title for the 5th straight year beating Lutheran South in the District 4 Tournament Championship game. The Lady Pioneers lost the Lady Wildcats twice this season. The second was for the District Title game.

THE HISTORY…

Jan 17 – Westbury Christian over Lutheran South 70-42
Jan 25 - Fort Bend Christian over Westbury Christian 59-51
Jan 29 - Fort Bend Christian lost Lutheran South 54-60
Feb 14 - Fort Bend Christian lost Lutheran South 65-58
Feb 16 - Westbury Christian over Lutheran South 49-42
Feb 26 – It’s SHOWTIME!!!

THE QUESTIONS…

Will the Lady Eagles of Fort Bend Christian beat the Lady Wildcats of Westbury Christian for the second time or will the four times defending STATE Champion Westbury Christian still have the will to win and move forward to claim their Fifth State Championship? Will the hungry Lady Eagles of Fort Bend Christian have enough strength to soar high tonight and land their chance for a State Title or will the Lady Wildcats spoil their chances? It will all remain a QUESTION until tonight when THE GAME is played. Who’s hungry for the WIN?

THE TEAMS…

Katy's Seven Lakes Senior Guard Lauren Sim - Lady Spartans

Seven Lakes Senior Guard Lauren Sim - Photos by Troy Sim
Seven Lakes fought hard and took a 2 point lead going into the fourth quarter but the Spartans couldn't stop a hard charging and more talented Clear Springs who ranks #3 in state. They were one win away from representing Region 3 (Houston area) at the state UIL Final Four tournament in Austin. "I am very proud of Lauren, it's been a long four years of high school basketball with huge dedication and commitment that has culminated in Seven Lakes many firsts, including Region Championship runners-up and a 33-7 record." Said Troy Sim, Lauren's dad. He is one of the most dedicated father I've known from summer basketball since our daughters were in grade school. What a great journey for Lauren. The memoirs that a father will treasure for life. I salute you Troy.
