So no, he shouldn't play a factor. I don't see why he would be brought to Sam if he hasn't touched the floor in a month. Oh well, live and learn, hopefully.

JMO -  It makes sense to bring him. He's (family) part of the team. If he's suspended and not kicked off the team. You keep the kid close and you still have a chance to teach / reach him. I guess he messed up in some form or fashion. He's paying the price and learning a lesson. You leave him behind (he could feel thrown away ) you may lose him to outside factors.

Bout to make my 47th straight state tournament. Started in 1972, haven't missed a year since.

Dang I'm old!

Have you ever counted how many times (years) there has been at least one SE Texas team in your 47 trips ?

I saw a few PA fans in the football forum during the season talking up Memorial.  Just seems like there are other fans besides Austin1985 that can talk up this really good Memorial team, you would think....

I wouldn't say there's nothing to talk up,   because I can hear it in the kids voices and I see it in their eyes.

But like Coach Coleman said: What the kids have done; and are trying to do is not a Memorial expectation its a Port Arthur expectation. When Coleman came back and put Port Arthur instead of Memorial on the front of the new uniforms he laid down the gauntlet.  The kids have a new (OLD) point of reference and the desire and pride to play for PA is back. 

PA 51-42 End of 3rd

Me too.

Come on Lions 

It is a nice article, they are great group of kids. I think Jones  really solidified everything. It allows them to always have three solid ball handlers / shooters on the court no matter the rotation AND it gives them someone other than Wesley who can score effortlessly.

I don't think it was a shooting foul. The offensive player catches turns to shot, sees a defender and brings the ball down.  It doesn't look like a pump fake. But in the refs defense he was deciding  in real time and from a different angle.

Silsbeeby 13 5 to play 

I think Scarborough is about to make a fatal mistake by picking up the pace

I've seen them play about three times this year. I suspect the coach has tried hard to get the player to play on the blocks. Sometimes doing what you want to do is more important than winning. 

Play where I put you or sit down. Not complicated.

These schools are 70-80 miles apart the travel to Huntsville on a Monday night is a bit much to gain any type of advantage

Hate to see it end this way. That Panther pride is special.

Good job this year Coach.

I've seen Scarborough 3 times this year, I  don't think they would beat East Chambers. They're not athletic, don't shoot the ball well and don't execute very well. Give me Silsbee by 40 only because Sig will call off the Tigers halfway through the 3rd.

Do you blame him?  The PA fans were never going to be satisfied with him.  They'll get a lot of applicants for the Titan job.

Are the Beaumont fans satisfied with their coaches.

It’s not that they schedule un-winnable games, it was the surprise moves that happen this year. As I been hearing, three basketball players went back to memorial this year, and one left due to the hurricane harvey. Nobody expected that at all, I believe if everyone would’ve stayed then Sabine Pass would’ve gave evadale a run for its money for that top spot in that district. Daniel Sam developed into a great hooper, just imagine if he would’ve had the help from the players who left...

Theylost the point guard who was their best player, a wing and all 4 post players. It's been a struggle for the kids being under sized and playing out of position.

If a team only has one really good player, it's a lot easier to hold him down.  Sabine Pass has #2 (I don't know his name), but he's the best 2A player in the area, imo.  That didn't stop Evadale from putting a severe whipping on them.  Plus he fouled out, partly because he was having to help teammates out on defense.  Kids a gamer, but one.real good player is easy to bottle up.

You are correct in that he's the best 2A player in the area. As far as fouling out because he was helping out is incorrect. He fouled out after a cheap foul and  being assessed a technical foul for not letting #22 of Evadale  get away with calling him a racial slur. Until that point the score was 45-38 and Evadale looked like they had a fight on their hands. So after a  5 pt swing made it a 12pt game. Sabine Pass fell apart. Check the film.
