LCM 75, Liberty 43. Score by quarter LCM: 17, 24, 25, 9. Liberty: 5, 7, 15, 16. Katon Brown scored 31 to go with 9 rebounds, Braden Bridges has 13, and Jacolven Provost 10. Bears move to 14-10 on the year and open district Friday at Bridge City. Special thanks to a great crowd tonight at the Bear Cave!

LCM over Hitchcock 82-81 in overtime. Bears were down 14 at the half and as much as 17 before clawing back. Braden Bridges (22 pts, 6 assists) hit a huge 3 late and Katon Brown (16 pts, 15 rebs, 8 assists) had a tip in to tie with 4 seconds left. Other notables for LCM were Keegan Sonnier with 17 and Jacolven Provost with 12. The big man for Hitchcock was unstoppable and probably scored 35 pts. LCM now 12-7 on the year.

West Orange Stark played a very good game against LCM and is much improved with the addition of some of the football guys. Cory Skinner skipped a 3 off the glass from the corner to go up 1 with five seconds left. Fortunately for us, we get two more shots at the Mustangs. Rivalry should be fun to watch this year.

Kountze outscored LCM 22-5 in the 2nd and never looked back. TJ Stanford was lights out scoring 25 for the Lions, while Katon Brown posted 36 pts, 15 rebs, and 6 steals in the loss. Bears fall to 10-6 on the year.

LCM knocks off one of the tournament favorites in Conroe Oak Ridge, 48-42. Bears led wire to wire and were led by Katon Brown with 12/12 and Ayson Simmons with 10. We needed to win by 8 or more to get in the gold bracket and won by six. Had a layup waived off with four seconds to go that would have done it. Next game at 4 pm.

LCM falls to a very well coached Huffman team 68-56. Katon Brown scored 13 and Braden Bridges had 10. Bears fall to 8-3 and play Conroe Oak Ridge at 8:30 tomorrow for a spot in the fold bracket. Gotta play better...

LCM 68-Tatum 54. Bears led by Ayson Simmons with 18, Braden Bridges with 16, and Katon Brown with 11, 14 boards, and 6 assists. Bears 8-2 on the year and play Huffman at 3.

LCM wins silver bracket with a 62-51 win over Louisiana Christian followed by a 53-47 win over Vidor. Ayson Simmons scored 26 against the Pirates. Bears are now 6-2 on the year and go to Jasper on Tuesday. Great tournament hosted by Nederland and congrats to the Kelly Bulldogs.

LCM plays Louisiana Christian at 10:30. Should be a very good test for the Bears. Not sure on times, but PNG plays Vidor and Barbers Hill plays West Orange Stark.

Bears finally broke out on offense hitting 7 threes tonight. Ayson Simmons put up 19 points, 6 boards, and six steals, Soph Braden Bridges scored 16, and Katon Brown had a double-double with 11 pts and 11 boards. LCM moves to 3-1 on the year and plays Kelly Thursday at 12 in Nederland.

Right next to the old one. With all due respect, we have NEVER been last in that district. Our last year with the Beaumont schools we finished fourth in district and lost to CE King in OT in the bi-district game. We beat Ozen that year at the Bear Cave. I think Bluedove will remember that game if you do not...

Yes. It was supposed to be ready for district this year, but construction never goes on schedule.

We'd like to think so. Only eight games left in the ole cave and the new version should be ready for next year. Hopefully gonna be one of the better venues in the area.

LCM falls at home to Nederland tonight 48-39. Bears played very hard defensively, but struggled to put the ball in the basket. Katon Brown and Braden Bridges both scored 11. Darrell Jones for Nederland had 19. Freshmen's name is Hayden Hefner and he can play.

LCM beats a very tough, physical Vidor team tonight 54-52 on the road. Ayson Simmons scored 23 and Katon Brown had 13, including the go ahead free throws with 7 seconds to go in the game. Bears are now 2-0. Nederland will travel to LCM on Monday.

Sloppy first game for LCM, but we're happy to have gotten out of the Reservation with a win. Katon Brown led the way with 11 points, 8 steals and Ayson Simmons put up 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. We go to Vidor on Friday.

LCM is hosting a 7th/8th grade boys tournament on April 8-9. Entry is $125 for a minimum of three games. Please contact Coach Jeffcoat ([email protected]) with any interest or inquiries. Thanks.

The kid from Vidor is not 6'9.  He's maybe 6'6 and the other one is maybe 6'5.  Both are pretty good, but let's not exaggerate.  Still Williamson's team.

4A...Dallas Lincoln has gotta be the favorite.
