Correct, Dodge is who went to Texas.

Christine Michael is headed to Texas A&M while Christian Louis is committed to sign with Lamar. Two offensive standouts and members of the 37th annual Port Arthur News Super Team, Michael and Louis, traveled totally different roads to their pledge announcements on Saturday.

Bruins RB to Ags, QB to Lamar By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News One West Brook running star informed NBC's listeners on national television while a Bruins passing whiz quietly told The News of his collegiate decision. Christine Michael is headed to Texas A&M while Christian Louis is committed to sign with Lamar. Two offensive standouts and members of the 37th annual Port Arthur News Super Team, Michael and Louis, traveled totally different roads to their pledge announcements on Saturday. Another coveted Southeast Texan college recruit, Aldine Eisenhower defensive back Craig Loston, ended his tug-of-war recruitment when the 6-2, 180-pound safety picked Louisiana State University. The great portion of all this recruiting season's suspense virtually has concluded exactly a month prior to the Feb. 4 national signing day for college football recruits. That is, unless any significant pledges should change their minds during the final month. Until that time, Mike Sherman has to refrain from publicly bragging about Michael at A&M and Ray Woodard has to keep quiet about singing the praises of Louis at LU. Michael stepped up to the grandest stage of all on Saturday at noon just before kickoff of the annual U.S. Army All-America Bowl in San Antonio's Alamodome. NBC cameras beamed Michael's decision to the nation, as the Most Valuable Player of the News' Super Team offered the game's first declaration, picking A&M's cap rather than LSU or Oklahoma. "As a person, I've been over there quite often and that's a real good fit for me," Michael said. "They've accepted me over there real well and they have a great academic program. I felt like I was right at home." A top 30 nationally rated player and a top 10 state recruit, Michael combines a low-to-the-ground 5-11, 202-pound frame with a 4.45 speed in the 40. He dashed for 3,927 yards and 80 touchdowns in three varsity seasons under West Brook head coach Craig Stump. When Michael announced his decision to play at Aggieland to the nation, a former A&M quarterback named Craig Stump stood right behind him in front of NBC's cameras. "You always find this one thing or that one thing that a running back usually is lacking but Christine is the total package," Stump said. "He's just a tremendous inside and outside runner with great vision. He catches the ball well coming out of the backfield and he blocks well in picking up blitzes. He's a fine young man and just a great all-around talent." The announcement for Louis did not require the same fanfare. The 21-5A first-team all-district quarterback from West Brook liked the idea of staying in a similar spread offense at Lamar that the Bruins deployed. Christian also welcomed the idea to play under LU head coach Ray Woodard and quarterback coach James Brown, a former West Brook and University of Texas quarterback. While Louis announced the verbal commitment to sign with Lamar, all verbal commitments remained non-binding until the Feb. 4 national signing date. Louis expressed his intention to still visit Sam Houston State on Jan. 16. "It's just right for me to stay at home and play in front of the home fans," Louis said. The West Brook pledges, as well as Eisenhower DB Loston to LSU and Lufkin tackle Jamarkus McFarland to OU, basically dwindled the list of Port Arthur News area and state recruits down to only six. The 119 non-binding pledges out of 125 names contained 18 players committed to the Fiesta Bowl-bound Texas Longhorns, 15 to A&M, 13 to Oklahoma, and 10 to Houston. Loston made his announcement on Friday at Disney World. The coveted Eisenhower safety participated in the Burger King All-America Skills Challenge at Disney's Wide World of Sports. The skills competition was an event leading up to today's Under Armour All-America Game at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Loston had prematurely pledged to A&M in his sophomore year only to de-commit when he realized he decided too soon. Then Loston dropped a commitment to Clemson and switched to LSU after the South Carolina ACC school fired coach Tommy Bowden. Very few major decisions remained on the recruiting chart. Several universities still liked the versatile skills of Sulphur Springs quarterback Tyrik Rollinson, who played in the U.S. Army game on Saturday.

Final

Kirbyville 47 HD 45

Fourth-quarter surge lifts Lady Cats past Kirbyville Van Wade The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — After scrapping with the Orangefield Lady Bobcats for 27 minutes and staying within range, the Kirbyville Wildcats ran into an orange and white buzzsaw in the last five minutes. Leading 46-38 with five minutes to go, the Lady Bobcats went on a 18-3 spurt to spank the Lady Wildcats 64-41 in non-district action at Bobcat Gym Saturday afternoon. Aimee Scales and Olivia Wagner were the main instigators for the Lady Bobcats in the last five minutes as both players pumped in eight points apiece down the stretch. Scales had a “dream†game inside for Orangefield (14-4) as she pumped in a game-high 20 points, 12 coming in the second half, while snagging five rebounds. Wagner scored 11 of her 19 points after intermission and led the Lady Bobcats with six rebounds. The Lady Bobcats also received 10 points and five boards from post Allie Beach. The Lady Bobcats were outrebounded by the Lady Wildcats 32-27 but more than made up for it on the defensive end. Orangefield forced Kirbyville into a whopping 34 turnovers. Shifty point guard Keke Jones paced the Lady Wildcats with 14 points. Forward Abril Wright had 12 points and five rebounds. Forward Carley Lewis chimed in with eight points and 10 boards while Keila Brown added a game-high 11 rebounds. Orangefield forced the Lady Wildcats into seven of their nine turnovers in the fourth period in the final 3:47. The Lady Bobcats were a perfect 6-of-6 from the free-throw line in the fourth and finished a solid 17-of-23. Kirbyville went just 11-of-21 from the charity stripe. Orangefield led 18-13 at the end of the first period as six Orangefield players scored in the quarter. Wright scored seven of her points in the period to keep Kirbyville close. Orangefield led 34-24 near the end of the second by Jones hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to send Kirbyville in at intermission just seven points down. Orangefield expanded its lead to 46-34 at the end of the third with Beach posting inside for five points while Scales popped for four points and Wagner busted a three-point missile. The Lady Bobcats, who finished with 17 turnovers, will head to Tarkington Tuesday night for a non-district encounter before they start District 21-3A play Friday at ıridge City as they look to defend their district crown.
