BC looking for equalizer over Spring Hill Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader BRIDGE CITY — One game does not make a three game series but it sure can put one team behind the eight ball. That is exactly where Bridge City (25-6-1) finds itself heading into today’s Game 2 against Spring Hill. Spring Hill defeated Bridge City, 8-7, Thursday night in 10 innings at Lufkin Hudson High School and now the Redbirds will try again at 2 p.m. today. Game 3, if necessary, will follow Game 2. Both squads should know their opponent quite well after Thursday’s affair which lasted over three hours. “It was two equal ball clubs going right at each other,†Bridge City coach Chad Landry said. “They (Panthers) executed down the stretch and we did not. Right after the game and being on the losing end, it is tough. Today we took a step back, watched the video and it was a great game. There was some great defense, great pitching and some quality hitting going on. It was truly a great game.†The great pitching started with Bridge City ace Matt Hicks who threw all 10 innings and struck out 10 batters while walking one. Bridge City also got a look at Spring Hill ace Garrett Methvin who worked four innings of relief and threw about 50 pitches. “It was good to get a look at him,†Landry said. “We got to see how he works and what pitches he throws in situations. He was nothing overly dominating Thursday but we have to put the ball in play a little more often.†The Cardinals will also need to hold down a lead if they obtain an advantage. Bridge City squandered a 7-3 in the sixth inning in Game 1 after Spring Hill scored four in the bottom of the sixth. “They can hit the ball one through nine,†Landry said. “A bigger weapon is they are all so fast. They have a lot of team speed. They don’t have the need to pinch run like we have to a lot of times.†The Cardinals will be looking to put a lot more baseballs on the ground Saturday when facing the Panthers and hopefully get a few lucky breaks when it comes to scoring runs. There were four instances the Cardinals had runners thrown out at home, including a squeeze play attempt. “Baseball 101 is with to outs to send the guy,†Landry said. “They (Spring Hill) made great plays. Without a doubt in a three-game series, it evens out and you find out who the better team is.†Landry said his Cardinals were in high spirits Friday, joking around like they have done all season. “They are as loose as they have ever been,†Landry added. “They know what they are up against. I really don’t know how they do it.â€

Hopefully it will work tonight!! We'll use this thread for game 2 updates as well

Port Arthur needs a unifying football team. Kenny Harrison has understood that pressing need. Therefore no Memorial football excuses are allowed. If a block is missed, Kenny may blow his stack. If a tackle is missed, none of Kenny's brand-new, blue-ribbon defensive coaching staff will accept alibis or explanations. They seek to lay the foundation for a program at Memorial, just as a new program at Port Neches-Groves. New coaches, new standards, new acceptance levels are moving into place. Some, but not all of Memorial's transformation, will be on display tonight in the Titans spring game on the PAISD auxiliary field at 7 p.m. "We have a good coach and he's really pushing us," sophomore defensive lineman Javone Sloan said. "It's tough but we gotta do it if we want to be the best. This is more organized than last year." The black and white game will reveal the first public peek but the 35-year-old Kenny Ray would warn that the revisions, upgrades and renovations are still a work in progress. "Our summer conditioning is going to be very important," Harrison said during Wednesday's workout. Memorial is a school and a football team in transition, but the 2009 Titans football team is the tonic that can blend SFA, Lincoln and TJ alumni into a unified group. These Titans really do take to the air with Eagles wings. When these Titans blitz, their defense led by senior-to-be linebacker Earl Hines really is a Beehive of activity. When these defenders tackle, in TJ terms, another one bites the dust. Fiery defensive coordinator Tony Brown spearheaded Memorial's off-season program. The Titans plan to play at a very high defensive level soon. "We still have some work to do," Harrison said. "Tony is a high-intensity guy. He's been setting the tone for them and we're a little ahead of the offense (on defense). But we're going to get there on offense, too. Trust me." The Titans will adopt the same format for their spring game as last week at PN-G -- four 12-minute quarters with a running clock, first offense and second defense on one team vs. second offense and first defense on one team. Actually, PN-G and Memorial will scrimmage each other at the new Reservation on Aug. 22. A bunch of Titans watched PN-G's scrimmage last week. The teams have looked quite similar in their practice routines and drills, too. As with Brandon Faircloth's Indians, Kenny Harrison's Titans are full shotgun on offense. "They're (PN-G) probably doing some things better than we are right now and we're probably doing some things better than they are," the Memorial first-year mentor said. "Our biggest concern without a doubt right now is in our offensive line." Memorial has avoided any serious injuries to date during its month of spring football but it has endured much of the session minus two offensive guards. Junior Marquee Pitre has returned from a knee strain while Jeremy Powell (twisted knee) is still sidelined. Juniors Corwin Keal and Stedman Haynes offer Harrison two capable quarterback candidates. Junior running back Daleon Sinette is a leader and plans to behave that way. The leading receiver candidates -- K'Sean Wesley, Nathan Davis, Chris Reed and Vincent Wilson -- give Memorial a better-than-average base to build more experience. The best of Memorial's defenders certainly starts with two-year regular Hines, but tackle Stanton Smith has been the biggest surprise of the spring. Ends Trashard Lewis and Darrell Johnson are among the improved linemen. Hines needs to be a demanding leader and help to raise the work of linebacker cohorts Javonte Stephens, Paul Roy and Ashton Wilson. Michael Johnson has to be very attentive to Tony Brown's requests in order to lead the secondary. Harrison has earned and deserved the reputation of being a good guy. Yet Kenny has had to shed some of his 'nice-guy' image in order to lead this staff and these players. "That part has not been that hard, really," he said. "One thing they took on real early were my work habits..." No matter how impressive or improved they become, the Titans are climbing a tall 21-5A district mountain. Memorial's opening league opponent, Galena Park North Shore, owns a state-record regular-season winning streak of 78 games dating back to Nov. 2000. Instead of being intimidated by that reality, the Titans face their realities, evaluate themselves, and ask themselves, "Is that part of our game good enough to beat North Shore." That's how the Big 12 football league became so tough. When Texas and Oklahoma began to dominate, the others began to ask if this or that was good enough to beat OU or UT. Now the Oklahoma States, Texas Techs and Baylors are all becoming competitive. Harrison and his staff are setting extremely high standards. Excuses are a thing of the past.
