Bear Cave

Oh yea...not sure what their problem was.  We even offered them a million to come to Orange like all the big colleges do.  No luck!

Last year’s great first season set the bar pretty high. Expectations were very high.
 
I’m quite certain if you asked Peevey, he would take full responsibility for player flatness, too aggressive play calling, etc. I also think he’s disappointed with the record so far and not blaming it on the players or a lack of talent. You can bet he’s working on improvement now and not looking for excuses.
Matthew’s upped his game after a disappointing start to the season and will continue to through the rest of the season (even though some so called fans were ready to run him out of town.)
 
Both fan bases need to be patient with their good coaches and support the programs.

You'll still get the calls.  Also, for those interested, the dunk count was 10-5 in favor of Washington.

Washington 89, LCM 65
Ben Elliott 22, Alantheon Winn 20, Miguel Molina 12 pts/12 rebounds, Da'Marion Morris 8 for the Bears.  Washington led by Kenneth Lewis with 40, Chris McDermott with 18, Andre Walker 18.  Washington moves on to play Austin LBJ and LCM finishes the year 24-14.
We had a good run at the end of the year and just ran into a monster with BTW.  Lots of experience and production coming back for us so hopefully next year is another successful season.  Thanks to all of our family and friends for the support all year and thanks to Mike Sanchez for all his work on this board.  Also, best of luck to the local teams still playing.

LCM IP Game Schedule.docx

LCM 65, Jasper 64 in double OT.
Ben Elliott 21, Alantheon Winn 15, Noah Fuller 12, Kasey Head 8 for the Bears.  Jamario Thomas had 13 points and 11 assists for Jasper.
LCM moves to 12-7 (1-0) and is off until the LCM/International Paper Classic on December 30-31.

While we were definitely the beneficiary of the DEC policy, there was very little satisfaction or feeling of accomplishment from our game last night.  Credit to Coach Sigler and his staff for coaching the kids they had and how hard those kids played.  They were placed in a difficult situation and they competed.  
I do not see any going back on the district's cancellation policy this year.  However, it is apparent that it could be better and we will advocate a change for the future.  Hopefully covid-19 will not be a factor and hopefully these quarantines will not change the outcome of this season.

District athletic passes are accepted and then attendance up to 50% on each side.  Visitor side should allow around 300 or so.  Must have on a mask for admission.

I am just going to throw this out there, congrats to Coach Crouch on a long career where he built relationships with kids and helped them to become men, after as many years as he coached and was in the school system I hope he enjoys his retirement.  Congrats to Coach on retiring 

Griggs is just a Jr?

JV will play at 12 and varsity following at 1:30 at Yates HS.  No fans...or wolves and sheep.

Jack Yates 111, LCM 78
LCM: 17, 22, 20, 16
Y: 39, 25, 20, 27
Jesse Doucette 24, Ben Elliott 24, Carson Peet 13, Miguel Molina 10/11. 
Bears fall to 7-7 and will take five days off before playing at East Chambers on Monday.
And while this Yates version might not be as talented as some others in the past, they have a good shot at getting out of the region.  They knocked down 15 3's today and have size and depth.  It was a good experience for us and we appreciate Coach Wise and company's hospitality.

If you get a chance to play the #1 team in the state, you take it.  Playing these Silsbee teams the last several years showed us where we stood relative to the elite teams in the state and that's an opportunity we didn't want to pass up.  We've also got a home game schedule with Wheatley on January 2.  Really excited/hopeful to play this year!

Hear he is scheduling some teams down this way. LC-M is one of them.

The majority of Yates Fans are probably not familiar with LCM or what district they play in. Good to see a SETX team play in the Lions Den. To be political correct, it’s going to be an interesting game for a qtr. If you think the fans are nasty in SETX wait until you visit 3rd Ward. Yates doesn’t have a student section at their home games at the school. After the blowout stop by Frenchy’s Chicken, it’s a 3rd Ward thang. 

LCM did not want to play the 2019-2020 Yates Team, trust me it would have been a one sided game. 

I said last 20-30 years, not last 40-50...

I'm thinking Van Wade could have played for Yates.

I don’t think I’ve seen an LCM player other than Jason Throop who would have gotten significant minutes for any Yates team in the past 20-30 years.  This year is no different.

Really sad to see Coach Barstow go.  He's a great guy that knows the game and coached with passion and ideals.  And definitely a character.  He will be missed. 

HF 61, LCM 39.  Bears led by Jesse Doucette with 17 and Jackson Smith 13.  Definitely not how we wanted or anticipated this game going, but hats off to Hamshire Fannett.  You won't ever hear any excuses here.  Thanks to our players (especially the seniors), parents, and fans for their unconditional support and we're already looking forward to next year.  The future is bright.
