PN-GROVES AT BARBERS HILL KICKOFF TIME The Port Arthur News • When: Friday, 7:30 p.m. • Where: Eagle Stadium, Mont Belvieu • Records: Season opener • Series: First meeting • Radio: KCOL-FM (92.5) • Indians capsule: After struggling at Jasper and progressing at Port Arthur Memorial, 15th-year head coach Matt Burnett's road warriors hit I-10 to open the 84th season of Port Neches Indian football (53rd as PN-G) with virtually a whole new defense. It's going to be up to free safety Jacob Lynch, and corners Tyler Gizzi and Shea McElduff to cover a busy Barbers Hill spread offense.... Tribe will need major help from SS Alex Gaspard and outside backers Tyler Wright and Blake Brooks to pay attention to the wide variety of Eagles' receivers... Running backs Josh Wright (100 yards) and Caleb Harmon (98 yards) each had effective scrimmages at Memorial, and they operated behind a veteran blocking front of Lloyd McLin, Tanner Ross, Jerin Spikes and Dillon Harrison. PN-G has plenty of new faces at wide receiver, paced by Kyler Segura, Spencer DeRon, Justin Segielski and McElduff. • Eagles capsule: Don Price inaugurates his 10th head-coaching season at Barbers Hill tonight as well as the school's third campaign in Class 4A. The Eagles return six offensive and five defensive starters from a 6-4 season but they have graduates from an 8-2 junior varsity, along with 11 returnees. Price is deploying the spead offense to accent the passing accuracy of senior QB Tony Carmona (5-11, 165), a second team 21-4A all-district QB in 2007. Two other second team 21-4A all-league offensive selections were senior wide receiver Jay Burditt (6-0, 175) and offensive guard Jake Ponder (5-8, 240). As with PN-G, Barbers Hill begins the year younger on defense with Ponder and senior Eric Comeaux serving as anchors up front. Price will try to counter PN-G air efforts with an all-senior secondary of Matthew Viverette and Heath Padgett at corners, Kevin Johnson and Jordan Stelly at safety. • Burnett says: "I think we've grown up a lot in the last three weeks, especially defensively. And we've got to continue building on that in the next weeks before we start district. I think we're ready to play a game. We definitely have a lot of new faces but they're coming together as a team.... It certainly helps to enter the season with an experienced quarterback and Harrison Tatum is a two-year starter who knows our offense real well.... Their quarterback (Tony Carmona) does a real good job. They're in the spread with a one back and they like to run it out of the spread... Carmona is a real thrower and their (offensive) coordinator (Dwayne) Nunez is from Port Neches... They run mainly a 50 defense... • Price says: "PN-G always is well-coached and they have tremendous tradition. This will definitely be a real challenge for Barbers Hill. We did not win either of our scrimmages (against Cleveland and Pasadena Memorial) and we're certainly going to have to get a lot better. You've got to pardon my sense of humor but we're a real spread offense. We try to hide out so nobody can find us. There's a lot of young players on our squad who are freshmen and sophomores and they're really getting their first taste of varsity football in this game." PN-G OFFENSE SE -- Kyler Segura (45) LT -- Lloyd McLin (51) LG -- Lindon Hightower (72) C -- Tanner Ross (55)

Jasper will bounce back!

Contrasting styles for Titan, Jags By Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News Ready or not, the high school football season starts tonight. And one of the first games to kick off will be Memorial’s 7 p.m. matchup with the Central Jaguars. The Jags are a very capable team with a lot of looming questions. In a lot of ways, the same thing can be said about the hosting Titans. Both teams are coming off somewhat disappointing 4-6 seasons in 2007 in which neither team made the playoffs. Both teams have critical question marks at quarterback as well. Memorial's situation is a matter of Jareal Alexander's health. There are no concerns with Alexander's ability to lead the Titans but whether his thumb will hold up and for how long. The senior had pins placed in his thumb to repair bone damage in early July and had those pins removed in mid August. He was just cleared to play Aug. 21. Head coach Ronnie Thompson said he feels as if his starting quarterback will be able to play. What he is not sure of is how long the 5-11 gun slinger will be able to last. If he can't go, the Titans options are with underclassman Stedman Haynes and Corwin Keal. Central's quarterbacking situation is rather simple. Can its starter Michael Richard make the right decisions in Beaumont's option attack? Richard, who made a couple of starts last season, was given the nod late this preseason because the expected starter moved to a different high school. Memorial has to figure the Jags will keep the plan simple for Richard, calling for their quarterback to rely on the dive play to fullback David Mayfield. And this begs for the final and biggest question going into the season opener. Can Memorial stop the inside running game? While the inability to stop the run has plagued Port Arthur for nearly three seasons, Memorial did show some signs of improvements last year and returns seven players from that defense. The one area the Titans continued to struggle with in the 2007 campaign was stopping the inside run. More importantly, Memorial never shutdown the dive play. Even more importantly, Memorial never shut down Kingwood, which runs the same flexbone-option offensive scheme that Central uses. Kingwood hammered the Titans to the tune of 369 yards on the ground in last year's meeting. Defensive coordinator Curtis Viola and the rest of Port Arthur will have a decent idea of what to expect in its run defense after tonight. "They are fast and they are going to run the ball all night," Viola said. "It's a tough offense to prepare for because its a style we don't see very often and it's a style that can kill defenses. We are going to absolutely have to play assignment football. “If every man takes care of his job, stays in position, we will be fine. If that doesn't happen, we will give up a whole lot of yards." Viola added that the 3-3-5 defense, which he started installing before last season, is a great alignment to stop Central's type of offense. But he said it's an offense that is hard to prepare for. "We cannot simulate their speed," he said. "Yes, we are just as fast or faster as they are but our offense doesn't run those plays so they aren't used to simulating it for us. You can prepare for the scheme, there's just no way to prepare for their speed." Central coach Donald Stowers said the same thing about his defense trying to stop Memorial's offense. "We don't run their offense," Stowers said. "And our defense is not designed to stop that kind of offense. Our base defense is a 3-4, so we are going to have to make some changes and add defensive backs in order to stop them. We just aren't used to the speed." Memorial offensive coordinator Kenny Harrison wasn't ready to give his offense the full advantage, however. "Those guys are extremely fast," Harrison said, "And they have seen the spread a few times the last couple years. Nederland uses it, Lumberton spreads it out, Dayton uses a little bit of the spread, so they have seen this offense a few times. And they get a lot of hats to the ball in a hurry." The styles are different, the circumstances are similar and the speed is the common denominator. Something will have to give to find a winner tonight. Thompson said the solution is rather simple. "Execution and limit the mistakes," he said. "That's the name of the game." • When: 7 p.m. • Where: Memorial Stadium in Port Arthur • Records: 0-0

North Shore not backing off tough schedule By Dave Rogers Published August 29, 2008 - Updated 23 minutes ago HOUSTON — Apparently, the gentleman’s attention was elsewhere Thursday afternoon when North Shore football coach David Aymond spent a minute or two talking about his team’s move to District 21-5A. So the man caused quite a few laughs at the North Shore Rotary Club luncheon when, a few minutes later, he asked Channelview coach Averion Hurts which team would be the Falcons’ toughest 21-5A foe. North Shore is ranked No. 5 in the state by the Associated Press and went 14-1 a year ago, falling in the 5A Division I semifinal. “Like Dennis Green said,†Hurts said, recalling the former Arizona coach’s famous rant about the Giants a couple of years ago, “they are who we think they are. There’s no question to it.†Aymond, Hurts, Galena Park coach Ray Zepeda and C.E. King athletic director Vince Sebo were special guests at Thursday’s football preview put on by the North Shore Rotary. Baytown Lee and Sterling high schools compete in 21-5A with North Shore and Channelview. Goose Creek Memorial, Barbers Hill and Crosby compete in 19-4A against C.E. King and Galena Park. Interest Thursday zeroed in on North Shore putting its 70-game regular-season win streak on the line against a murderers’ row of a five-game non-district lineup — especially the Mustangs’ season opening game against Katy at 7 tonight. Katy, ranked No. 3 in the state, was 16-0 state 5A Division II champion last year. “Everywhere I go, people are asking me if we’re ready for Katy,†Aymond said. “We’ve been practicing. We know Katy’s got game and we tell them to bring it on.†The Mustangs return three offensive and four defensive starters from last year’s team. They have a new quarterback in Alex Tillman. “He’s a different kind of quarterback (than Jeremiah McGinty, North Shore’s 2007 signal-caller). He’s a real good student, and he’s the first quarterback I’ve had since I’ve been in high school who can power clean (lift) 300 pounds. “The drawback is that he’s not 6-1 of 6 foot. He’s barely 5-9, but the kids think a lot of him. He can go.†Leading the way for North Shore’s returning players are three who have already made their college choices: tight end Barrett Matthews (Texas), defensive tackle Thad Randle (Nebraska) and cornerback Andrae May (Oklahoma State). Hurts said Channelview returns four offensive starters and three on defenses. But the Falcons, who host Pasadena Dobie tonight, don’t have the numbers that North Shore does. “Our numbers are small in the upper level,†the former Baytown Lee defensive coordinator said. “We’ve come a long way, but we’ve got a long way to go.†Linemen Jerel Watkins, Tyrone Campbell and Cedric Stewart are Channelview’s top seniors with quarterback junior Dominique Jefferson getting rave reviews from Hurts. Zepeda, whose Yellow Jackets open at Montgomery tonight, face a rebuilding season after going 8-3 in 2007, he said. C.E. King played its opener Thursday night on the road at Manvel. The game was supposed to be a home game for the Panthers, but it had to be moved because a new grass playing surface at C.E. King is not ready. Sebo, who was pinch-hitting for coach Mike Malkowski, who was getting his team ready for the road trip, said if the Panthers didn’t have bad luck they might not have any. He said in the Panthers’ last two seasons (both of which ended 3-7), they lost seven games in the final minute of the games. Hurts is just glad his team has five non-district games before it has to line up against Aymond’s North Shore bunch. “At the realignment meeting last winter when they said we were going to be in a six-team district, everybody was scrambling to line up five non-district games,†Hurts recalled. “Over at the North Shore table, the other schools left coach Aymond and Ed Warken (the athletic director) by themselves, like they were quarantined for something. “Me, they were jumping up on my table, saying ‘Play me.’ “But if you want to be the best, you’ve got to play the best.â€

Pasadena spoils Patriots’ debut By Dave Rogers Published August 29, 2008 - Updated 23 minutes ago The storybook ending wasn’t in the cards for Goose Creek Memorial in the first football game for the week-old Baytown high school. After fighting back to take a 20-19 lead only to lose it, the Patriots marched 65 yards in two minutes and had a first-and-goal at the 7-yard line. But Pasadena High linebacker Jerry Reyes picked that moment to come up with the only sack of the season-opening game. He jarred the ball loose from Memorial quarterback Cody Larson, and the Eagles held on for a 27-20 win. “We had a chance. We put ourselves in position. We just couldn’t get it done,†Patriot head coach Bret Boyd said. “At the beginning of the game, I didn’t think we’d be that close at the end, but we hung in there. I’m real proud of the way they fought back.†As the 3,000 or so fans who came out to Stallworth Stadium on a school night were settling into their seats, Pasadena manhandled the senior-less Patriots for a 12-0 early lead. At halftime, the Eagles had a 13-1 edge in first downs and 240 yards in total yards. But because of two big plays by Memorial juniors, Pasadena’s lead was only 19-14 at the break. Larson faked a handoff to tailback DeMartie Allen and outran the Eagle secondary for 80 yards to score the first touchdown in school history. It was also the Pats’ only first down in the first half. In fact, they finished the half with just 72 rushing yards, eight less than the quarterback’s big run. They really finished the half with a bang as defensive back Keithen Collins intercepted a pass and returned it 80 yards to score on the final play of the second quarter. “We gave up too many big plays,†lamented Pasadena first-year head coach Jeff Ganske, a Baytown native. “I would’ve liked to win it easier, but I’ll take it.†The Patriots turned back Pasadena’s first drive of the half, as linebacker Arjaye Holloway led a crew of Memorial defenders that stopped the Eagles’ quarterback Damon Ojeda shy of a first down on fourth-and-two at the Memorial 13-yard line. Late in the third quarter, the Patriots took a 20-19 lead when Allen capped a 12-play, 59-yard drive with a 2-yard run on fourth-and-goal. It was the second fourth down the young guns from Memorial converted on a drive that began with a fumble recovery by Josh Stuart. A 43-yard run by Ojeda was the big play in an 80-yard Eagle drive to retake the lead at 27-20 with 3:03 remaining. Five-foot-six Pasadena running back Juan Merino, who finished the game with 196 yards on 35 carries rushing, scored what turned out to be the game-winner on a 9-yard run. Ojeda added a two-point run for insurance. Larson was Memorial’s big producer on the stat sheets. He completed 12 of 26 passes for 107 yards and rushed seven times for 97 yards. The Patriot quarterback had at least six passes dropped and had to run for his life a few times after receiving high shotgun snaps. But he was masterful on the final drive. Until the end. He passed to Patrick Wood for gains of eight, seven and nine yards and completed a pair of eight-yarders to Brandon Rhoden. Wood led all receivers with six catches for 38 yards. Tight end Ricky White joined Rhoden as a two-pass receiver, his catches good for 29 yards. “At first we looked like I feared,†Boyd said. “We showed up wide-eyed and couldn’t remember what we did in practice for the first three or four series. “I’m happy in a lot of areas. I’m disappointed in the mistakes, because it cost us the game. The Eagles took the opening kickoff and quickly gave the Pats an idea of what they were in for. They marched 66 yards in 11 plays for a 6-0 lead on Merino’s 4-yard run with 6:05 left in the first. “They took advantage of their size advantage,†Boyd said. “They just ran it down our throat. The kids stepped up in the second half, but at the end, they just wore out.†The Patriots’ first offensive series in school history consisted of three incomplete passes, one of them a drop and another a desperation heave by Larson after a high shotgun snap. A Patriot miscue helped Pasadena got its second score and a 12-0 lead. A punt ricocheted off the stadium’s artificial turf and hit Allen, who was doing his best to avoid the ball. That left Pasadena only 38 yards from the Memorial goal and the Eagles capitalized when Ojeda sneaked in from the 1-yard line. After Larson’s big run, Pasadena responded with a nine-play, 61-yard march to go up 19-7 on an eight-yard run by Merino.
