A vast majority of the kids @ Sabine Pass are from Port Arthur. With a large amount being from the Port Acres area. I've coached youth sports in PA and can't really recall seeing in football or coaching in Basketball any of their kids. I've spoke with kids / parents / coaches and noticed a lot of these kids don't start playing sports until middle school. Which means a lack of fundementals, practice repetitions, game experience, creative confidence and a working knowledge of the game. I sure some years coaching their is almost impossible.
To make the situation worse sports are a distant fourth behind; 1) Academics, 2) Anything else, 3) Everything else. So every 3rd or 4th year they may have a respectable season. And that seems to suit Administration and community just fine.
