PNG downs WO-S, 61-38

Van Wade

The Orange Leader

WEST ORANGE — West Orange-Stark had a tough time navigating through the timber of Port Neches-Groves Tuesday night at Mustang Gym.

Sparked by 6-7 post Ryan Miller and 6-5 forward Travis Weathersbee, the Indians jumped on the Mustangs early as PN-G strolled to a convincing 61-38 non-district victory.

Miller almost had a triple-double the hard way for the Indians (9-6), The big fella tallied a game-high 16 points, yanked down 13 rebounds and posted eight blocked shots. Weathersbee motored his way inside for 14 points as PN-G controlled the game from the opening tip until the final horn.

PN-G shot a whopping 71 percent in the first half and went into intermission with a 30-16 lead.

Mustang senior Ronnie Dennis, averaging 25 points a game, was held to nine points, all of them coming in the first half as WO-S dropped to 4-9 on the season.

Weathersbee benefited from three nice dishes from Miller to score eight of his points in the first eight minutes while Miller pumped in seven. PN-G outscored the Mustangs 17-7 in the first period.

The Indians held the Mustangs to nine points in the second period as well while they received 12 of their 13 second-quarter points from bench players Kenneth Tezeno, Matt Johnson and Dylan Berwick, who each had four apiece.

A stingy Indian defense limited WO-S to just seven third-period points. Weathersbee and Jordan Robbins poured in six points apiece to help the Indians up their advantage to 43-23 heading to the final period.

Miller poured out eight points in the last quarter while Mustang Marquest Watson scored six of his eight points in the fourth.

The Indians finished with a 35-29 rebounding edge. Robbins and Mitch Todd pulled down five boards apiece.

Post Jim McDonald scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Mustangs. Watson added six rebounds while Dennis finished with five.

The Indians committed 18 turnovers while the Mustangs had 12.

PN-G shot 12-of-19 from the free-throw line while the Mustangs shot a woeful 3-of-10.

The Mustangs are off Friday and will open District 21-3A action at home next Tuesday against top-ranked and defending Class 3A state champion Hardin-Jefferson.

Give this team time to gel, unlike most schools in the area the mustangs went 3 deep in the football playoffs.  It will take them a little more time to get ready.  Coach Quinn will do a good job with these guys!!

It's my understanding that only 2 football players are on the team with Dennis being the only starter. Dennis is probably their best player but I have seen them play with him this year and they are really not that good. WOS misses the playoffs this year.

WO-S actually picked up 5 varsity players from football. We watched them play PNG, they just haven't found their rhythm. Once the football guys settle in, they will be ok. I don't see them beating HJ or Silsbee but could knock off Jasper. It will be a three way battle for the 3rd spot between Orangefield, Jasper and WOS. Orangefield will be in!
