www.panews.com Little Broussard makes big impact for Nederlanders By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND — Before any true blue Old Gold and Black fan discards his beloved Nederlanders from the 4A playoff picture, he figures to take a look at Adam Broussard. Yep, that’s how small Nederland’s chances may appear right now as the Dogs prepare for arguably the greatest team in Lumberton football history. It’s Nederland against Lumberton on Friday night in Raider Stadium and the burly Raiders (8-1 and 5-1) certainly should not lose any sleep this week watching video of a 5-7, 140-pound pass catcher. That’s right. Broussard might even weigh 135 pounds by the time this important regular-season finale kicks off at 7 p.m. Surely Lumberton will ignore a guy with a such a diminutive stature. Adam and Nederland’s head coach Larry Neumann would not mind if the Raiders would ignore Broussard from 7 to around 10 p.m. Just permit Adam to go where he wants to go and do what he wants to do. When Neumann, offensive coordinator Monte Barrow and receivers coach Bryan Spell decided to devise an offense with a limited amount of proven powerful blockers, they reasoned that Broussard had plenty of reasons, ways and means by which he could latch onto a football. Adam could catch passes. He could run the ball, and get lost beneath larger blockers. He could run back punts and kickoffs and probably pull a few surprises doing that. He might even be capable of delivering a trick play to catch the Raiders napping. Never under-estimate the smallest dude in Nederland’s lineup. He’s got a mighty stout XXXL heart to be ranked among the top four pass receivers in District 22-4A. Every year the 17-year-old son of Robert and Judy Broussard heard the same sorry noise from his large number of naysayers. “In the beginning, every year, they were telling me that I was too small so I just came to expect it,†Broussard said. Convinced that he was a bit too small for high school football, Adam was far more convinced of something else — that he liked football. “I like to play football,†he said. “And so it just worked out... I don’t say it (that he’s too small) but I do notice that I’m way smaller than most of the guys.†Because of players such as Broussard, Nederland has compiled a 7-2 season record, a 4-2 district record and a belief that this football team can overcome the odds. Broussard led Nederland’s receivers against Brenham with four receptions for 81 yards. Brenham doesn’t have to be convinced. Broussard dashed 59 yards with a touchdown reception at Beaumont Central. The Jaguars learned about him. When Little Cypress-Mauriceville visited Bulldog Stadium, Broussard led the receivers with five receptions for 81 yards. LC-M became all too acquainted with him, too. No, Broussard will not go down as Nederland’s premier receiver in 2007. That honor definitely belongs to District 22-4A receiving leader Asa Cardenas. Yet the much smaller Broussard has ranked among the league’s top three receivers for most of the season.

Predictions?

Fifty years ago, tornadoes touched down By Debby Schamber The Orange Leader Today marks the 50th anniversary of a day some Southeast Texans would rather forget when three tornadoes ripped their way through the area. One tornado in particular hit the Bridge City area. The F-4 tornado remains the largest tornado recorded in Southeast Texas. “An F-4 in this area is extremely rare,†said Sam Shamburger, forecaster for the National Weather Service. Other areas hit include Groves, Port Arthur and Beaumont. In Orange County there was one person killed, with 50 reported injuries. About 180 houses were destroyed with 250 more suffering damages. About 115 destroyed houses were in the Riverside Housing Project. Houses were not the only things displaced by the tornadoes, nine ships and three barges were torn form their moorings. A moderate El Nino event was in progress on November 7, 1957, Shamburger said. The tornado outbreak that included three areas of Louisiana came together quite rapidly with numerous factors in place such as a large and deep positively tilted trough of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere located over the western US. The trough moved quickly eastward and took on a negative tilt as it reached the central US by the evening hours. Deep gulf moisture was in place with dew points in the upper 60s and lower 70s. As the day progressed to the evening hours the wind shear and instability levels were favorable for tornadic supercells, according to the National Weather Service. Although the tornadoes were intense, they were not as intense as the tornadoes that frequent the Plain States and the Midwest. The local tornadoes had relatively small path widths and lengths. “The result was five separate tornadoes with fatalities,†Shamburger said. More than 47 years later, similar weather conditions would happen again, but without the deadly consequences.

Great Stuff, thanks Rim!
