Austin Johnston shut down by the state Multiple media outlets in Austin are reporting that the TEA has forced A.I.S.D. to shut down Johnston High effective during the 2008-09 school year. A.I.S.D. will reopen the campus but it will serve a different function which has yet to be determined. They made improvements on their testing scores, but received a state rating of "academically unacceptable" for the fourth year in a row. Truly a sad and extemely unfortunate occurance.

A Bayou Bowl primer From sports staff reports Baytown Sun Published June 7, 2008 - Updated 23 minutes ago Bayou Bowl history 2003: Texas 32, Louisiana 29 Baytown Lee quarterback Drew Tate sparked a 67-yard drive with 1:31 remaining to set up Chuck Lee’s winning 45-yard field goal as time expired. It was the third field goal of the game for Lee, a Deer Park product, after earlier boots of 39 and 40 yards. He was named offensive co-MVP along with Louisiana quarterback Billy Farris of Baton Rouge Woodlawn, who accounted for all of Louisiana’s points. Farris completed 15 of 21 passes for 128 yards and four touchdowns, plus a two-point conversion. Woodlawn teammate Chijuan Mack caught five passes for 72 yards and two scores. Tate, Texas’ all-time passing yardage leader, completed 13 of 23 for 154 yards and one TD in his high school send-off. 2004: Texas 18, Louisiana 15 A pair of dropped punts made it closer in the end, but the Texas All-Stars held on to win this turnover-plagued game. Leading 18-8, the Texans forced two punts in the final 4:14, then fumbled both away. Tyler Benoit of Lafayette Comeaux scored from a yard out to cut the Texas lead to 18-15, close enough to try – and fail on – an onsides kickoff with 2:18 remaining. It was a feast-or-famine game, with plenty of big plays and limited overall offensive success, with Danny Amendola of The Woodlands named offensive player of the game. He threw an 18-yard end-around TD pass to Terrence Nunn of Cy-Falls and returned a punt 48 yards. Herb Hill of Lafayette Carencro got 31 of Louisiana’s 98 total yards on an early TD. Michael Jones of Fort Bend Austin hit Lloyd Oghogho of Dulles on a 56-yard touchdown pass for Texas’ long play. 2005: Louisiana 10, Texas 7 The combination of coach David Swacker, quarterback Brian Babin and receiver P.J. Brown all from the same St. Amant High in Lafayette was too much. Babin found Brown for a 20-yard score with 30 seconds left to make Swacker and his Louisiana All-Stars a winner for the first time. Quarterback Bryant Lee of Hahnville passed for 137 of the Cajuns’ 277 total yards as Louisiana rallied from a 7-0 first-quarter deficit to win. Texas had scored first on a 46-yard run by Cy-Fair’s Omar Conteh, who set a bowl rushing record with 99 yards on 10 carries. Louisiana got on the scoreboard with a 39-yard field goal by East Ascencion’s Blake Bercegeay. 2006: Louisiana 7, Texas 3 After Louisiana won for the second straight year, coach David Swacker announced he was going out on top. The visitors for the east mounted the game-winning drive to open the second half. Quarterback Joey Guedry of Lafayette St. Amant hit four passes for 61 yards to lead a speedy 80-yard drive capped by a 20-yard scoring strike to Baton Rouge Capitol’s Kendrick Walls. Texas pulled to 7-3 late in the third quarter on a 34-yard field goal by Memorial’s Scott Miller. The Lone Star Staters had a long fourth-quarter drive but turned the ball over on downs at the Louisiana 16 with 3:27 left. 2007: Louisiana 31, Texas 15 Jumping out to a 21-0 lead after one quarter, the Louisiana All-Stars easily rolled to their third straight win and a 3-2 edge in the series. Quarterback Scott Buisson of Metairie’s Archbishop Rummel rushed for 58 yards and one score and passed for another one to lead the winners’ offense. Evangel Christian’s Patrick Chitman returned an interception 53 yards for a second-half touchdown to lead a defense that held Texas to 131 total yards. Dewayne Stewart of Westfield rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a TD to top the home team’s offense. Where are they now? Catching up with some past Bayou Bowl All-Stars Chad Huffman, QB Texas 2003 A second-round draft choice by the San Diego Padres in 2005, he is now playing outfield for the San Antonio Missions in Double-A ball. Brandon Harrison, DB Louisiana 2003 He went from Catholic High in Baton Rouge to Stanford and is playing with the Houston Texans now, having been drafted in the fifth round last year. Danny Amendola, WR Texas 2004 The Woodlands standout was a standout at Texas Tech and signed recently as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. Brian Orakpo, DL Texas 2004 The defensive MVP of last year’s Holiday Bowl, this Houston Lamar product is a senior at the University of Texas and is expected to be a first-round NFL draft pick. Lucas Taylor, WR Louisiana 2005 Taylor ranked third in the SEC in pass receptions last year with 73. The Tennessee senior was all-conference last year. Chad Jones, DB Louisiana 2007 This highly recruited New Orleans native was named a freshman All-American playing for LSU’s national champions just seven months after the Bayou Bowl.

OC shutout at MLB draft; Jasper star goes in 11th Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader Southeast Texas struck a few notes in the MLP Draft Friday afternoon, yet Orange County was pitched a shutout. The major hit for Southeast Texas was Jasper outfielder Malcolm Bronson being selected in the 11th round by the Kansas City Royals with the 325th pick. Hunter Cervenka of Baytown Sterling was selected in the 27th round by the Boston Red Sox. Bronson is also signed on to play baseball at McNeese St. University in Lake Charles, La. The outfielder is still pondering whether to hit the MLB system or head off to college. “I am still weighing those options,†Bronson said. “Being draft is a dream come true for me. It was one of my goals for the last few years.†Bronson has not talked to the Royals since the initial call telling him he had been drafted. “It was great hearing the news,†Bronson added. “I was surprised yet it made me real happy. I was not worried about not being selected on Thursday. I slept just fine.†Bronson was a key factor in the Bulldogs’ run to the District 21-3A and state championships in 2007. The Bulldogs were taken out in the regional semi-finals this past season. Lamar University starting pitcher Tim Erickson was in the 37th round with pick No. 1,124 by the New York Mets. Erickson, a senior, finished the season 8-3 with a 3.83 ERA in seven starts. Erickson’s teammate at Lamar Justin Walker, a Nederland graduate, was selected in the 41st round with pick No. 1,229 by the Cincinnati Reds. Walker, a junior, was 2-2 on the year in seven starts with a 4.85 ERA. print this story email this story comment on this story
