With second place in district at stake, the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears soccer team suffered a disappointing 2-0 road loss against the Port Neches-Groves Indians on Tuesday.  The loss moves the Bears into third place, while the Indians' victory places them into sole possession of second place.



Indians Coach Don Sandell was proud of his team's victory.  "We felt that LC-M was the district's hottest team.  I felt our team had to protect home field.  That's why this game was so important for us," stated Sandell. 



On a beautiful night for soccer, the Indians jumped out to a strong start.  The Indians used a short passing game to controll the game's early action.



LC-M's defense was a major concern for the Indians.  "We thought that short passes were the way to get around the Bears defense", said Sandell.



Twelve minutes into the game, the Indians were on attack deep into Bear territory.  Indian forward Trevor Hoffpauir intercepted an attempted crossing pass and booted the ball for a goal and a 1-0 lead.



Sandovall was proud of Hoffpauir's score.  "He has worked hard on keeping his shot low.  He kept his cool and put the ball in the corner", observed Sandell.



Following the score, the Bears offense began to apply pressure on the Indians' defense. The Bears were unable to connect as the first half ended with the Indians leading 1-0.



In the second half, the game's action was more even.  The Indians scored an insurance goal at the 52-minute mark when J.C. Figueroa received a pass in front of the Bears' goal.  Figueroa shot a short-range goal while surrounded by several Bear defenders.  "Figueroa's shot was a great finish", Sandell noted. 



The Bears pushed hard to regroup.  The strong Indian defense, however, successfully defender their goal to earn a shut out.



Bears Coach Jeremy Watzlavik was disappointed with the loss.  "We had a decent first half", said Watzlavik, "but we need to keep improving for the second half."



"We beat a good team tonight", Sandell said.  "It is a huge momentum win for us.  Coach Watzlavik did a great job coaching.  And, the Bears played hard." 



The Bears travel to Hamshire-Fannett on Friday to begin the second half  of the district schedule.

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
