Half...pam 25-19

End 1: pam 13-12

BEAUMONT – Brent Walters, who led Willis High School in receiving and scoring last fall, signed a scholarship agreement with Lamar University Tuesday, increasing the Cardinals’ 2010 spring recruiting class to 17. A 5-foot-11, 180-pound wide receiver, Walters caught 52 passes for 547 yards and six touchdowns for the Wildkats and kicked four extra points to give him 46 points on the season. His longest reception went for 45 yards. Walters, who has 4.43 speed in the 40-yard dash, also returned three punts for 105 yards, including a 47-yarder for a touchdown. He had seven kickoff returns for 102 yards with a long of 45 yards. “Brent is a five-star receiver with breakaway ability in my book,” said Ray Woodard, Lamar’s head coach. “He will make a great addition to our team, and we’re excited he has decided to become a Cardinal.”

BEAUMONT – Scott Reeves, who has overseen the development of more than 30 future NFL players during his career, has joined Lamar’s athletic department as the university’s first strength and conditioning coordinator. Reeves, a four-year letterwinner as an offensive lineman at Rice University in the late 1980s, brings with him 18 years of coaching experience with the bulk of it being as a strength and conditioning specialist. His most recent stop was at Southeastern Louisiana University, but he has also put in stints at Texas A&M, Rice, Kansas State, SMU and TCU. “Bringing Scott into our athletic department is another major step for us,” said Billy Tubbs, Lamar’s director of athletics. “This is the first time we’ve had a strength-and-conditioning coach on campus. “Scott’s focus naturally will be on football, but he’ll also be responsible for the strength-and-conditioning training of all of our athletes. His arrival is coinciding with the approaching opening of our new training facility in the new football field house. “It’s going to be a state-of-the-art facility, so bringing in a professional with Scott’s credentials to overee it was critical for us. Most schools our size have had strength-and-conditioning coaches for a number of years, so this is a big step up for us. Scott will organize his department, and, hopefully, we’ll eventually be able to add to his staff.” Reeves was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Texas A&M in 2007 when the Aggies’ football team went to the Alamo Bowl, and he was an assistant at Kansas State when the Wildcats went to the 1995 Holiday Bowl. Reeves earned his bachelor’s degree in human performance and health science from Rice in 1990, and he received his master’s degree in physical education/motor control and development from TCU in 1992. He was recognized as the NSCA Strenghth and Conditioning Professional of the Year for the Western Athletic Conference in 1999 and was named a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach in 2008. Reeves played football for Rice from 1986-1989 and was presented the Bill Whitmore Award as the most improved offensive player in 1989. A native of Grand Prairie, he and wife Tomara are the proud parents of sons Landon and Daxton and daughter Haydon.

[font=Courier]Mike, I can only take your word for the '72 game. I wasn't born yet....LOL.....OLD MAN[/font]

[font=Courier]I've seen 100s of good ones....Was talking with Travis Williams on Saturday about Silsbee vs. Aldine in our HoopInsider Playoff Preview a few years ago at PN-G. Aldine's Gary Johnson battled Sticks and it came down to a last second show, which Silsbee hit to win the game! 4A state final in 2008 when SOC beat FW Southeast 80-77 was a great game to watch as was the 5A 2007 5A final when Duncanville beat Kingwood 60-58 in OT. Kingwood's Wise shot a NBA 3 that went in and out of the cylinder at the buzzer.[/font]

[font=Courier]Gabe? Gabe?[/font]

[font=Courier]True Blue out on an island with his own school....If Kountze doesn't get a "California move-in" next year, wonder if EC gets another Evadale kid? I'm also happy to hear you making decisions for Joubert & that "he sees writing on the wall." Was there writing on the wall in Evadale last year & during the summer? [/font]

[font=Courier]Big win...Got there before half...SFA had some big boys inside.[/font]

[font=Courier]True Blue, I give you this, you are spirited!!!!....I thought you would run and hide after the game last night. If Devin or Roman or even DeCarlos would have shot the finger off the bench lastnight or acted the way some did, you guys would be hammering them. Also, what happen to this comment you made: "Kountze will not have their hand picked UIL Ref. And if Bray starts running his mouth early, like at home it will be a short night for him." I think it was a short night for you know who. I think with Davs & Carr, EC has a bright future. [/font]

[font=Courier]52-38 rusk[/font]
