Cy Ranch caps banner year with 6A title

team played in the Division I championship game.

Boys soccer and boys basketball won playoff games for the first time, while softball went undefeated in district play and reached the region semifinals.

Mustangs reached state in track and field, wrestling, swimming, tennis and golf.

“Football, baseball — every sport has been playing good these last four years,” said Ryan Leftwich, a freshman on the 2012 team. “I love this school.”

The Mustangs (31-6) scored in the first, third and fifth innings. Hebert leads the way

Tyler Bielamowicz led off the game with a single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt before Nick Skeffington hit Elijah MacNamee. Garrett Herrmann followed with a grounder to shortstop Grant Jones, who threw to third base to try and get the force.

Bielamowicz beat the throw, slid past the bag but got back in time, loading the bases with one out. Skeffington got Marshall Skinner to ground out, but Bielamowicz scored.

A Martin (28-6) error pushed the lead to two — Tristen Lutz misplaced a Skinner single to right, allowing MacNamee, who reached on a single, to score from first.

MacNamee, who went 2-for-2 with a walk, singled home Evans in the fifth.

It was plenty for Hebert, the game’s Most Valuable Player. He limited Martin (28-6) to five hits in five innings. He struck out two, but more importantly didn’t allow a runner past second base.

“It was the biggest game of the season, and I knew I had to come out with my best,” Hebert said. “They’re a great team, and I was ready.”

Martin’s best chance came in the fifth. With runners at the corners and no outs, Hebert struck out Trip White while Jones broke for second. Skinner, the Mustangs’ catcher, threw him out, and a flyout ended the threat.

Another double play ended Martin’s sixth.

“When we need it, it happened,” Cy Ranch coach John Pope said. “I’m a firm believer that good things come to people who work hard, and these kids have worked, and we’re reaping the benefits of it.” angel.verdejo@chron.com twitter.com/ahverdejo
