He is very good no doubt!!

Memphis Express: Molloy throws five straight no-hitters 11:00 PM CDT on Saturday, April 7, 2007 In his first start for Memphis High this spring, Colt Molloy pitched a perfect game. He'd been a left-handed pitcher most of his 17 years in the little West Texas town an hour and a half southeast of Amarillo, and in all that time he'd thrown only one other no-hitter. But his senior season has been different. Maybe it was the mound he built in his backyard. Maybe it's the circle change, the same pitch used by one of his idols, Nolan Ryan. Maybe it's because his fastball now runs into the mid-80s, a lot to handle for Class A hitters, or because he finally became a pitcher and not just a thrower. Whatever it was, maturity or karma or plain good luck, he followed up his perfect game with another no-hitter in his next start. And then another. And another. And another. Five no-hitters in a row. Broke the state record of four. Tied for third, one back of the national record. Not that anyone knew what to make of it all at first. The freshmen on the varsity violated superstition in the perfect game, against West Texas High, by talking about the no-hitter in the dugout. "But somebody shut 'em up real quick," Colt said. Pretty soon, everyone knew the protocol. Colt became a celebrity in the farming town of 2,450, where his father, Oren Don, runs a hunting lodge. A handful of junior college coaches noticed. Coaches from Kansas State and Texas State, too. Might be more interested if Colt were 6-1 instead of just 5-10. "I've heard that a couple of times," he said. Not that he'd be so bold as to object. He's just as deferential when it comes to all the attention he's attracted. In newspaper stories, Colt, as true to his manners as he is with his fastball, curve, slider and change, deflects the praise. "Great kid," says his coach, Pat Yarbrough. "Always 'yes, sir ... no sir.' "First thing he does is compliment his teammates." His right fielder, Brett Clayton, made a diving catch to preserve one of the no-hitters. Colt couldn't really tell you which game, though. Could have been Wellington, maybe. Or Clarendon. Or Follet. Or Booker. Did he say Booker? You throw five no-hitters in a row, they all start to run together after awhile. He doesn't keep up much with his stats, either. But he can tell you when it all ended. Last Tuesday against Shamrock, fourth inning, no outs. First batter lines a clean single to left field. Colt hadn't pitched in two weeks because of rainouts, and he figures he was a little rusty. Still, he won, 11-1. A good day's work for most pitchers unless you've raised the bar like he has. And what happened when it was over? An estimated crowd of 150, lining the fences and filling the grandstand, the biggest turnout Colt had ever seen at a Memphis baseball game, gave him a standing ovation. Not such a bad ending at that. Better than he expected, anyway. "I knew it'd happen sooner or later," Colt said of the streak. "You can't no-hit people forever." Only seemed like it.

Exposure key for Gamble stars By Dave Rogers The Port Arthur News BEAUMONT -- Practice for Friday's Port Arthur News/James Gamble Award Game took second stage to the Easter weekend Reebok Pearland Classic. At least six of 10 finalists for the James Gamble Basketball Awards participated in the three-day, 157-team AAU tournament that began Friday evening. For that reason, award namesake James Gamble cut short Friday morning's workout at Ozen High. "We didn't get a whole lot done in these first two days," Gamble, the legendary former Port Arthur Lincoln High coach, said of Thursday and Friday workouts at Ozen. "But it gave us an opportunity to get to know each other. "We got an early look at the kids to try to figure out what kind of skills they have so we can come up with offensive and defensive strategies to take advantage of them." Gamble is readying for this Friday's 8 p.m. matchup between the best basketball players Southeast Texas has to offer and an all-star team from Houston in a highly anticipated warmup for Saturday night's Fifth Annual James Gamble Awards Banquet. His players will be, too, come Monday. But, for them, the last three days have been about top-caliber competition in Pearland and the opportunities it can create. Hardin-Jefferson's Ryan Donahoe, Ozen's Jacoby Joseph, West Orange-Stark's Richard Netherly, Clayton 'C.J.' Busby of Kountze and Jeremy Pitre of West Brook are all members of the Southeast Texas Rashard Lewis All-Stars. Memorial's J'Covan Brown carries the Port Arthur Heat banner in the Pearland event. "It's an opportunity to showcase my talent," says Donahoe, MVP of Hardin-Jefferson's Class 3A state championship game. "I'm going out to prove myself and have fun. And we want to put Southeast Texas on the map and represent." Area pride is strong, what with the Gamble Awards finalists having played on some of the top teams in the region and state. "Everybody underrates us," says Netherly, MVP of the 2006 Region III-3A tournament. "We want to put Southeast Texas on the map." Basically, Gamble Awards finalists come in three flavors -- signed seniors, unsigned seniors and juniors. Ozen's Kris Richard, the 2006 James Gamble Mr. Outside winner, is the only player in the game who has already locked up a scholarship agreement, having signed with Tulane. Six of the other players -- Donahoe, Netherly, Busby, Pitre, Cameron Powell of Kountze and Terrence Jones of Silsbee -- are unsigned seniors. Three -- Brown, Tramain Thomas of East Chambers and Joseph -- are juniors who cannot sign before next November.
