Video shot by Seguin Gazette Sports Editor Marcel Louis-Jacques shows Seguin’s Mark Garcia stealing the ball from a Lanier player on the game’s final possession, picking it up and launching it from beyond half-court.
Garcia hits the shot and is surrounded by his teammates and coaches.
The Matadors won a playoff game for the first time since 2005. It’s Seguin’s first postseason trip since 2011.
The Matadors will play Angleton in the next round of the 5A Region IV state tournament.
