  16. Round 2, Silsbee @ HJ Predictions

    [font=Courier]Will be a good one as always. Storylines are much different now that Silsbee has the No. 1 spot wrapped up, but they don't want to lose.

    H-J playing for seeding and a win gives them the 2nd spot and goes up in Clevelands side of the bracket. A loss equaled with a WO-S win over Orangefield, would have those two tied. I think Orangefield is going to give WO-S all they can handle tonight.

    Last night of the season for many....Good luck to all on senior night!

    Education First Federal Credit Union has signed on as a sponsor of Lamar University athletics with a $1 million contribution, university officials announced Monday.

    “This sponsorship will be a tremendous help in bringing back football to Lamar University,” said Lamar president James Simmons. “We are very grateful for Education First Federal Credit Union’s support of our athletics programs.”

    “Education First Federal Credit Union has had a long relationship with Lamar University,” said Jimmy Lackey, president of Education First FCU.

    Established in 1952, the credit union signed on its first Lamr members the following year. In the decades since, both the credit union and university have seen significant growth. Today, Education First FCU has nine branch locations, more than 32,000 members and over $265 million in assets.

    The credit union has had an office on the Lamar campus since 1979, has been a corporate sponsor of LU athletics for a number of years and has endowed scholarships for university students since 1990.

    “We are committed to athletics,” Lackey said.  â€œWe’re also committed to higher education; hence our name – Education First. This gift is just another way to support what is going on at the university.”

    Cardinal fans at Provost Umphrey Stadium will be reminded of the credit union’s commitment to LU athletics every time they check the scoreboard. The credit union’s name will be the sole, static sponsor name on the scoreboard.  Education First’s sponsorship of LU athletics will also be acknowledged on marquees, video boards and in game-day publications.

    The Cardinals’ 2010 season opens Sept. 4, against McNeese State in Lake Charles, La.  The first home game in Provost Umphrey Stadium is Sept. 11, against Webber International.  The Cardinals' other home games during the 2010 season will be against Sam Houston State on Oct. 2, against Langston University on Oct. 9, against South Alabama on Oct. 16, against South Dakota on Nov. 13 and vs. Panhandle State on Nov. 20.

    The Cardinals will be on the road Sept. 18, against Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond, La., against Stephen F. Austin Sept. 25 in Nacogdoches, against North Dakota Oct. 30 in Grand Forks, N.D., and against Georgia State Nov. 6 in Atlanta, Ga.
