I think Ozen wins. Huntsville had Yates beat.

Bryson hoping ‘Hawks delay retirement By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News Don Bryson confirmed that four years had been enough as the only head basketball coach that Lamar State College-Port Arthur ever has had. The 65-year-old Bryson has decided to retire from his position any day now. It will be whenever his Seahawks will finish their 2008 post-season basketball run which begins tonight. It's not that Bryson has turned the least bit bashful about discussing his retirement stuff, but he preferred it received secondary treatment to his team's post-season efforts. "We're going up there to win," he said. "The reason for me getting out is I don't want to spend the time at it any longer. I'm ready to go to the beach. It's time to move on. I haven't been to the beach in four months." The Rosenberg native and former Lamar University All-America basketball star would prefer to prolong his return to his Lafittes Landing cabin at Crystal Beach. The Seahawks were 1-1 in last year's initial voyage into the Metro Athletic Conference post-season basketball tournament. One loss is where Bryson prefers LSCPA's history stays. If the Seahawks advanced all the way to the 18th annual NJCAA Division III national tournament, a consistently high level would be required in all playing opportunities at Dallas. That stretch would begin tonight when Lamar State (13-14, 6-6) serves as the home team and No. 4 seed against nearby Richland College (16-13, 6-6) at 8 p.m. The teams split their regular-season meetings with the Seahawks winning 80-76 on Jan. 23 in Port Arthur and the T-Ducks winning 83-60 on Feb. 16 in North Dallas. Opponents frequently have tried to make more than their share of three-point field goals against the Seahawks. Richland connected on 13 threes in the recent meeting. "They feel like they can make them against us," Bryson said. "We're going to have to find a way to stop that. At least it's on a neutral court." The Seahawks are likely to start 6-1 freshman Jason Williamson (8.2 ppg) and 5-11 sophomore Noah Cole (13.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg) at the guards, 6-5 sophomore George Williamson (14.9 ppg) at the wing, 6-4 sophomore Cody Guidry (9.2 ppg, 7.1 rpg) and 6-4 sophomore Sam Stelly (12.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg) at the posts. Bryson probably will utilize three primary players off the bench besides those starters. A real sparkplug down the stretch, 6-5 sophomore Andre "P-Nut" Boutte (8 ppg, 4.9 rpg) has the flexibility to lift the Seahawks as an outside or inside threat. Another sparkplug when he's healthy, 5-10 freshman Jemel Douriso (10.6 ppg), is bouncing back from an ankle injury and is ready to contribute more minutes. Another valuable contributor in minutes is 6-5 freshman John Payton (4.3 ppg) at the post. Bryson initially intended to coach three seasons when he signed on as Seahawks head coach on May 28, 2004. He decided to stay for one additional year after last season when Lamar State College Port Arthur permitted Bryson to add one assistant coach to help him.
