Scott gets quadruple-double, WO-S wins Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader WEST ORANGE — After collecting the first triple-double of her high school career, West Orange-Stark’s Brittney Scott decided to take the feat up a notch on Friday. Needing just one rebound, Scott lined up along the free throw line and waited for Jasper’s Clementine Johnson to shoot with under :30 seconds to play. Johnson missed and Scott went up and snared the basketball. Seconds after landing, Scott lost her balance and stepped out of bounds but with the accomplishment in hand. Scott led a powerful Lady Mustangs’ attack that saw WO-S sink Jasper 74-19. The senior guard who is headed to the University of Houston after graduation also chimed in 11 steals and 10 steals to round out the rare feat. “This was the first even triple-double for me,†Scott said. “It was very exciting. It started to get hard there at the end to pull it off because I was winded.†Scott’s only break came with a minute left in the third period when she sat until the start of the fourth. Also in on the action Friday night for WO-S (14-5, 3-2) was Janea Hendreson who pulled off a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kia Hartfield finished with 20 points, none more exciting than a buzzer-beating three to end the game. Jasper (1-13, 0-5) was paced by Anna Nation who led her team with seven points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Brianna Hafford also collected eight boards. WO-S Coach Callie Orebo was glad to see the Lady Mustangs have a little fun on Friday because the team travels to face rival Orangefield on Tuesday. “That is always a big rivalry game,†Orebo said. “Everybody always gets up for that game. The best game so far was against Silsbee that went double overtime. You can be Orangefield on Tuesday will be just the same. In my mind it would be best if both Orange County teams get two of those playoff spots out of our district.†The Lady Mustangs never let the Lady Bulldogs smell a lead as WO-S jumped out to a 22-0 lead to start the game off. Scott had 13 points in the run while Hendreson put in six. Jasper’s Brittany Bronson ended the drought with a bucket with :20 seconds showing on the clock. Hartfield opened the second period up with a three-pointer and Scott scored seven more before half-time as WO-S led 38-5 at the break. The Lady Mustangs outscored the Lady Bulldogs 36-14 to end the game. WO-S forced a total of 30 turnovers and only gave the ball up 13 times in the contest. The Lady Mustangs also held a 35-25 edge in the rebounding department. WO-S was 11-20 from the free throw line while Jasper was 5-for-15.

Wildcatters suffer unusual home letdown BEAUMONT - Anyone with a cell phone or portable radio in attendance at the Texas Wildcatters hockey game tonight might want to sit near the team's bench and shout score updates of the Dallas Cowboys playoff game. Although Wildcatters coach Malcolm Cameron's focus will be on his team's game against the Columbia Inferno, he might want to know how his favorite National Football League team - the Seattle Seahawks - fares against Dallas. Chances are, however, that Cameron will be busy enough trying to figure out a way for the Wildcatters to bounce back from Friday's 4-1 loss to Columbia that came in front of 2,003 fans at Ford Arena. Tonight's game, the second in a three-game series, begins at 7 p.m., the same time the Cowboys and Seahawks kick off. "We got outworked in our own building by a hardworking team," Cameron said of his team's third loss in regulation in 15 home games. Rookie goalie Tony Quesada gave up two goals in the first 3:19 of his first start with the Wildcatters after being sent down by the Houston Aeros for one game. The second goal was on a power play and the third one was when Columbia was short-handed because of a penalty in the final minute of the first period. All told, Quesada allowed three goals in 13 shots and was pulled in favor of Matt Yeats after the first intermission. Cameron told Quesada in his office his getting pulled was not a reflection of his play. "Sometimes you have to do that to wake your team up," Cameron said of the goalie switch. Quesada returned to Houston after the game and Miroslav Kopriva, who made his first start with Houston this season Thursday, returned to the Wildcatters. With Houston, Quesada is 0-4 and has allowed 4.62 goals per game in five games. Yeats allowed a goal on a breakaway late in the second period and stopped 12 of 13 shots. The Wildcatters have won 20 of 30 games and their 43 points in the standings are still good enough to put them atop the South Division. Columbia's victory was its 11th in 31 games. The Inferno has 26 points and is seventh in the eight-team South Division. The loss for the Wildcatters came about a week after the team pulled into sole possession of the division lead by beating second-place Florida twice in three games at home. "We were up for the Florida series," Cameron said. "We had a burr in our butts and were ready to go, and tonight we weren't. We didn't have that same hunger. I could feel it around the locker room." The Wildcatters managed just eight shots in the first period and had none during their first two power plays. Texas took two shots during its third power play but Columbia scored a short-handed goal to take a 3-0 lead. "I thought if we were a little more aggressive in the neutral zone, we could attack their passes, and it worked," Columbia coach Troy Mann said. Daniel Sparre scored the Wildcatters first goal about five minutes into the second period. He flipped a puck past Columbia goalie Todd Ford, whose stick had been knocked out of his hands and kicked away from him. The Wildcatters thought they had their first goal minutes earlier when Luis Tremblay slid into the goalie crease and knocked a deflected shot into the net. The horn to signal a goal sounded, but the goal was waved off after the three on-ice officials convened. "That would have been a huge turnaround for us," Tremblay said.

Predictions for Tuesday?

Final?

Loretta happy with 'super utility' role in Houston Loretta agreed Thursday to a $2.5 million, one-year contract, that has an additional $1 million in performance bonuses. He's spent most of his 13-year career at second base, but will likely play several infield positions in Houston as Craig Biggio closes in on 3,000 hits. The 41-year-old second baseman is 70 away from the milestone. Loretta passed on offers from both the Rangers and the Reds before signing with the Astros. A career .299 hitter, he batted .285 with 33 doubles, five homers and 59 RBIs last season with the Boston Red Sox. The 35-year-old said he can see himself as a "super utility guy" in Houston. "I think second base, I'll get some starts there when Craig needs a day off," he said. "Same with third base. I can play first base and I can also play shortstop. I got into a situation in Milwaukee where I wasn't necessarily playing at one position all the time, but I was still playing 3-5 days a week and I think that may happen here." Other factors in his decision to sign with the Astros were his relationship with manager Phil Garner, who was also his manager in Milwaukee, and his friendship with several Houston players. Loretta spent his first seven seasons in Milwaukee, then was traded to Houston in August 2002 where he played 21 games for the Astros. He became a free agent at the end of the season and signed with San Diego in December 2002. He remained with the Padres until he was traded to the Red Sox in 2005 for catcher Doug Mirabelli. "Phil Garner is an influence and been a mentor of mine in some ways," Loretta said. "He was my first big-league manager. Phil's an excellent communicator. I think Phil has a lot of attributes that it takes to be a good leader." Loretta lives near Astros catcher Brad Ausmus in San Diego, and the two train there together in the offseason. He shares an agent with Roy Oswalt and believes the pitcher started the process of general manager Tim Purpura and owner Drayton McLane pursuing him. "I think Roy was instrumental in at least making initial contract with Tim and Drayton about the availability of myself," Loretta said. He also fondly remembers his short 2002 stint in Houston and thinks it was a springboard to his success since then. He hit a career-best .424 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 66 at-bats in that span. "I really point to that as a turning point in my career," Loretta said. "I was coming off of a couple of significant injuries in Milwaukee. I really probably had my best offensive month of my career. I just felt real comfortable and everything that I hit seemed to fall in."
