March 27, 2010 Titans bouncing back in track Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News —   Fans all stood up. A hush surrounded the track. One well-timed emergence from the starting blocks likely would separate Trey Franks and Nate Holmes.   That's exactly what unfolded Saturday at Big Shootout time in the seventh annual Memorial Titan Relays.   It seemed like an eternity before the gun finally sounded around 3:45 at the finals of the boys 100-meter dash. And it's shame Franks and Holmes probably won't run the 100 together side-by-side again.   The stronger West Orange-Stark senior, Franks, was familiar with these types of tense shootouts. He was motivated to run against Holmes, the Golden Triangle-area leader in the event.   Franks got out of the blocks better and ran a solid, workmanlike 10.55. WO-S teammate Artevin McDonald even came in second at 10.75. The lanky, slender Port Arthur Memorial sophomore lacked any champion's finish whatsoever and settled for a learning-experience third at 10.90.   Eight new area best performances resulted and two more area-bests were duplicated at this cloudy, windy afternoon at the PAISD auxiliary track. The day suggested Port Arthur track looked on the way back. It also indicated that coach Toby Foreman's WO-S hosses had an excellent chance in May of retaining their 3A state track team title.   When Foreman's WO-S sprinters combine with Darrell Granger's improving Port Arthurans next weekend in Austin, the 83rd annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays will contain a stronger overall Golden Triangle representation at UT's spring gala than Port Arthur and Orange have offered in more than a decade.   "I was hyped up," Oklahoma football signee Franks said. "I knew the guy from Memorial was going to run good. I feel better than I have all year."   Undoubtedly part of that might be because Southeast Texas temperatures finally climbed to 70 and 71 degrees for a change.   After the 167-pound Holmes finished noticeably behind Franks, the Titans sophomore reflected his disappointment with a 10.9.   "That's my first time (and probably his last) to run against Franks," Holmes said. "I didn't finish the race how I was supposed to do. Franks is the real deal. I'm proud to run against a state champion. But I've got to come back and work a little bit harder."   Memorial junior K'Sean Wesley tied the area-best high jump at 6-6 and barely clipped the bar with his calf muscle on his first attempt at 6-8. A'Lexus' younger sister Dominique Brannon also duplicated the area lead of Silsbee's Ashley Johnson in the girls high jump by clearing 5-4. Wesley felt as if he were only about 80 percent. K'Sean is rebounding from a medial collateral ligament strain after basketball.   Five new area bests were recorded on the girls side. West Brook's Ashley Wright ran a 57.75 in the 400 and a 2:26.52 in the 800. Team runner-up Ozen (141 points) delivered new marks in the 400- and 1,600-meter relays while girls team champ Memorial (169) looked very impressive in the 800-meter exchange. The quartet of Kierra Roy, Reagan Jones, De'Ontra Kinlaw and Courtney McKinney clocked a 1:41.75, chopping nearly a full-second off the previous area low -- 1:42.66 -- also owned by the Lady Titans.   The three new boys area bests were Orangefield's Kyle Fontenot (13-1) in the pole vault, the WO-S 800-meter relay time of 1:27.34 and the bright-eyed Titans junior Jeylin Reed, who cleared 22-3 1/2.   Memorial compiled 187 points to WO-S 144.5. But two of Granger's most encouraging moments came when new area leads were not established.   Senior Michael Johnson ran the open quarter in 50.55 but a large portion of that journey went into the teeth of a rough cross wind on the far turn.   "I have to be able to extend more in the last 50 yards," Johnson said. "I think without that wind, I would have run a 48 or a 47 today."   Reed ran the second leg of Memorial's 3:23.41 winning mile relay. The very talented junior put his lap away in a whopping 48.75 but that time even should have been lower. First, Jeylin had plenty of strength left in him at the end of his lap. Second, the Titans were not being pushed by that point in the race.   "I love track period," said Reed, who may be Memorial's best track talent since a hurdler dude named Jamaal.   "Jeylin can do it all," his coach Granger said. "There's no ifs, ands or buts about it, he's the real deal."   Port Arthur and Orange look as if they too may be the real deal in track and field once again.   7th Port Arthur Memorial Titan Relays   PORT ARTHUR -- Here are the final fully-automatic times from the 7th annual Port Arthur Memorial Titan Relays held Saturday at the PAISD auxiliary track.

I'm pretty sure he accepted a position as a principal. I'm not sure where, but I bet Mr. Glazener could tell you.

The Orange Leader Van Wade Cardinal CC Teams Shine at SFA Event NACOGDOCHES — The Bridge City Cross Country team were early risers and strong finishers at the Brooks Lumberjack Invitational Saturday at Stephen F. Austin University. The Cardinal boys finished a strong second among a field of 17 teams and the Lady Cardinals were a stout fourth out of 17 teams. “I told the kids this was one of the most important meets of the season and man, did they ever respond,†said Cardinal coach Cody Knight. “It took a lot for them to get to school at 4:15 a.m. in the morning. No one complained. As a matter of fact, 75 percent of them were here waiting when I pulled up at 4 a.m. They went out and competed very well.†The Cardinals were led by Tim Cude, who covered the three-mile terrain in 16 minutes, 37 seconds to capture third place out of 145 runners. He was followed by teammates Kirby Shepherd (14th, 17:33), Aaron lejeune (24th, 17:58), Sawyer Hogan (25th, 17:59), Luke Hebert (26th, 17:59), Armando Chavez (33rd, 18:18), and Jose Chavez (45th, 17:58). Lufkin won the meet with 65 points. Bridge City was second with 77 followed by 3A Region III rival Lufkin Hudson, which had 97. “I’m really proud of the guys’ effort,†said Knight. “Lufkin Hudson was really on our heels all day and we’ll see plenty of them in the future. The course was a really good test for our kids.†The Lady Cardinals fourth-place finish was awesome as only 5A and 4A schools topped them in the standings. Magnolia West won with a stunning 18 points. Lufkin (91) was second followed by Forney (96) then Bridge City (138). Lufkin Hudson was the next 3A unit, placing sixth with 178 points. “I’m so happy for our girls,†said Knight. “Magnolia West was certainly amazing. Our girls held their own against some much bigger schools andI certainly think it gives them even more confidence. They’ve ran so well all years.†Meagan Shockley led the Lady Cardinals, running the two-mile course in 12:44 to place 15th among 147 competitors. She was followed by teammates Mary Nguyen (17th, 12:51), Jessica Franklin (27th, 13:12), Ariel Chesson (47th, 13:48), Arron Valencia (63rd, 14:15), Courtney Meaux (65th, 14:18), and Alex Holland (69th, 14:26).

Boths meets were a huge success. Those of you that made the trip out to Claiborne this morning were in for a real treat during the Big School girls as Malia Cali smashed the meet record running 11:25.99. She went through the mile in 5:19 and looked amazing. We had 390 runners at the meet today. I'm very proud of how my girls and boys competed. There was some stout competition as Nederland, BC, Huffman, and St. Thomas all came away with plaques. See ya'll Monday morning bright and early.

Does anyone have any idea when school will be starting up again? I know it will be a while, but I was wondering if anyone had any real information? Weeks, months? Specifically wondering about BC.

I'm sure as heck am not counting them out. We only beat them by 14 points this week, and by only four at Dayton. Plus they had a JV kid run a 18:43. He's run some fast triathalons and is a freshman. Throw him in with Varsity and we only beat them by nine this week. Not to mention the kid is just starting and will only get better. We have definitely picked up a new region rivalry with Huffman dropping down to 3A.

Reanna Edgerton from LCM and the Barber's Hill girls have also done really well. The Hudson guys and girls look really strong. They came down for the Cardinal Classic and brought home lots of medals. Bridge City won the boys and girls 3A division at the Cardinal Classic, and won the 4A divison at Nederland this weekend.

this upcoming year Kingwood park will be classified as a 3A school. In 06-07 they only had freshmen. This coming year they will only have freshmen and sophmores. They should have everything except Varisty FB. They will get some of the Kingwood kids, but will only be 9th and 10th when they are 3A; but they will have all that Kingwood $ and facilities. Each year they will add another grade, and are expected to be 4A when they have all four grades.
