LC-M set for PN-G Orange Leader Sports The Orange Leader LITTLE CYPRESS — A big time showdown in District 22-4A will take place tonight at Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School. The Lady Bears will play host to the Port Neches-Groves Rock-A-Noos in a battle between the district’s top two teams. PN-G is on top of the standings with a perfect 8-0 mark and is also 17-8 overall this year. LC-M is alone in second place with a 6-2 mark and is overall 16-12. The Lady Bears defeated Beaumont Central Friday in five games by scores of 25-14, 14-25, 25-15, 12-25 and 15-8. Sophomore Christine Sicktich had 19 kills, 18 assists and 10 digs to lead the way for LC-M. PN-G is fresh off a four-game victory over Beaumont Ozen on Friday. The Rock-A-Noos won 25-18, 23-25, 28-26 and 25-21. PN-G was led by Sami Jo Williams who had 12 kills and nine digs. In other District 22-4A action, the Vidor Lady Pirates will look to win their first district game when traveling to Lumberton. The No. 1 team in District 21-3A, the Bridge City Lady Cardinals, will look to stay perfect in district action tonight when they hit the road to face the West Orange-Stark Lady Mustangs. Bridge City (14-10, 7-0) took down the Hardin-Jefferson Lady Hawks Friday in four games and notched its 14th District 21-3A win in a row. Audrey Myers led the way with 15 kills and 10 digs while sophomore Emily Kosh had 31 assists and Jenna Angelle had 15 digs and Lauren Angelle had 11 digs. Orangfield, who was swept by Silsbee Friday, will also be on the road to face Hardin-Jefferson. The Lady Bobcats are 10-14 overall and 3-4 in district play. On Friday both LC-M and Bridge City will be in big district matches when the Lady Bears travel to face Beaumont Ozen and the Lady Cardinals play host to the Silsbee Lady Tigers. Also on Friday Orangefield will play host to Jasper, Dayton will venture to Vidor and WO-S will travel to Kirbyville.

Back to predictions!

Be nice 82!

New set of predictions after district starts Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader Boy what little us “experts†really know when it comes time to make predictions in high school football before the season starts. It is like the AP voting on college football in July. In our annual football section, I calmly predicted Dayton to win District 22-4A with Central in second and Little Cypress-Mauriceville in third. Nederland was fourth, Port Neches-Groves was fifth, Lumberton was sixth, Ozen was seventh and Vidor was eighth. A week into the District 22-4A race and I like many others am scratching my head. I talked to Tom Halliburton of the Port Arthur News a day after making those predictions and told him the only thing I was scared of was putting Lumberton into the playoffs. I wanted to do it, and in fact so did he, but how can you slap a team into the playoffs that has never seen the postseason in school history? So go figure Lumberton beats Dayton, 8-7, in the first game of district in the last seconds of the game. Dayton has been without quarterback Cody Green and lost a game in my eyes they really could not afford to lose. The Broncos still have to play Central and Nederland. Lose both of those games and Dayton would have three district losses. Nederland is 4-0 and is set for a showdown this Friday against Central, who defeated LC-M this past week. The winner between the Bulldogs and Jaguars really has to be considered the front-runner in the district with the Raiders a very close second. LC-M has work to do and will look to rebound on the road against PN-G, a team they shutout 42-0 a year ago. The Bears need a statement win this year and beating the Indians two straight years could get LC-M back on the right path. After seeing a week’s worth of District 22-4A games, here are my new predictions: 1. Nederland ... They just look good these days with sophomore quarterback Kirby Bellow. 2. Central ... I said it before and I’ll say it again — speed really does kill in football and this team is fast. 3. Lumberton ... There I put the Raiders in the playoffs for the first time in history, now I hope they make me look smart. 4. Dayton ... The loss to Lumberton hurt and they still have Nederland, Central and PN-G to go. 5. PN-G ... It was a nice win against Ozen, now they still have to beat a couple of the top teams. 6. LC-M ... The Central loss hurt so the Bears must find a way to beat PN-G and have a few upsets along the way. 7. Vidor ... This team is better than what people think and Vidor is such a hard place to play, unless you are the Pirates. 8. Ozen ... New coach will only have the Panthers get better as the season moves along. In District 21-3A there is not as much shake up as there is in District 22-4A. Orange Leader Sports Editor Van Wade made the predictions in 21-3A earlier this year. He had the top three teams as West Orange-Stark, Silsbee and Jasper. Kirbyville was fourth, Orangefield was fifth, Bridge City was sixth, Hardin-Jefferson was seventh and Hamshire-Fannett was in the rear. Here is my take now on District 21-3A: 1. WO-S ... Still the team to beat until someone proves everyone wrong. Kirbyville gets a shot Friday. 2. Kirbyville ... The Wildcats will not beat the Mustangs but should be able to beat everyone else in district. 3. Silsbee ... The Tigers thumped Orangefield last week and I only see them losing to Kirbyville and WO-S. 4. Jasper ... The Bulldogs are close to being back under Thomas Brooks but beating the top teams will be too tough a task. 5. Hamshire-Fannett ... The Longhorns are no push over this year and gave the Mustangs all they could handle in the first half last week. 6. Hardin-Jefferson ... To keep away from the bottom, the H-J beat Bridge City last week in a thriller. 7. Bridge City ... I hate to put the Cardinals here but Bridge City is so young and Cris Stump and Co. are a year away from making noise. 8. Orangefield ... The injury to Ryan Granger did not help a bit but the Bobcats will fight tooth-and-nail with everyone listed above.

A 4th team will be added in the lower class as well very soon!!

Jury shows signs it believes Thomas committed sexual harassment NEW YORK -- A jury indicated Monday that it believes New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden committed sexual harassment against a former team executive who brought a $10 million lawsuit that quickly turned into a public relations disaster for the once-proud franchise. There was no official verdict, but the wording of a note to the judge by jurors makes it clear that they have reached decisions on the key points of the trial. They reached a decision on eight of the nine questions on the jury form; they were deadlocked on the other question, which asks whether Thomas should have to pay punitive damages. That question only becomes relevant if the jury of four women and three men first determines that Thomas and Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the former executive. The judge sent the jury home for the day, asking them to deliberate again on that question Tuesday.

Bump.
