Final drive sweet redemption for Alexander By Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News It was quite simple really for the Memorial Titans last Friday night. At 0-3 in District 21-5A going into their game with Channelview, the Titans knew they had to win in order to prolong hope for the fourth and final playoff spot. The situation grew even more simplistic for Port Arthur as the minutes ticked away Friday. The Titans trailed 22-16 with 2:06 left in the game, leaving Memorial with no choice but to drive 72 yards in two minutes. Head coach Ronnie Thompson said, looking back, that the circumstances probably looked impossible. For a team that has averaged around 205 yards before that matchup with the Falcons, 72 yards in 120 seconds probably felt like a marathon for the least fit person. Quarterback Jareal Alexander had already thrown three picks in the contest, making the probability of a comeback seem even less likely. On top of everything, it was Channelview's homecoming night and the Falcons had just scored on a fourth-and-25 to take a 20-16 lead.. Then the Falcons added a two-point conversion to up the advantage to 22-16, as well as stealing all the momentum. So you're telling me there's a chance? It was no problem, actually. The Titans needed 10 plays to score and drained 1:50 off the clock while doing it. Alexander was huge on the drive. Running, passing, the senior, who has battled injury, the turnover bug, the lack of time to prepare for this season, it all finally came to rest on Friday night as he came through in a very big way for his team. With 16 seconds left,, Alexander fired a 10-yard pass to Solomon Jones for the tying score. Then Hulices Nunez drove the extra-point home for the 23-22 victory. It was redemption for Nunez as well because the right-footed kicker missed what almost proved to be a decisive extra point during the first half. Nunez also chipped in a 25-yard field goal to give Memorial's a 16-14 lead a little over six minutes left in the game. About Alexander's heroics, which included a pair of momunmental pass plays and possibly an even bigger run, the third-year chief of the Titans said his quarterback was a "real field general out there." "He (Jareal) started the season on an uphill climb (recovering from a broken thumb)," Thompson said. "That's certainly not easy. So he had that to deal with. He was not able to work out much with the team in the preseason, so he had to play catch up from the very beginning because of his thumb. "Then we got hit by those hurricanes, which caused even more disruption." Thompson went on to say that Friday's game winning drive was just the thing his team needed. "It was medicine this team sorely needed. That drive made all the difference in the world for this season. It has been a rocky year but if we don't get that win, who knows. That drive gave this team hope, self respect. What looked to be impossible was accomplished and now we move forward to the next game." This was not the first time Alexander sparked the team for a come-from-behind victory. Last year, with all the same tension building for the possibilities of a postseason, Alexander drove the Titans down the field in the wanning minutes of a 44-42 win over Baytown Sterling. In that game, Alexander rushed for 199 yards, the most by any player in 2007. "Jareal really showed up. He was a real mechanic on that drive, managing the field, thinking ahead, making the right decisions," Thompson said. "That's the guy we've been expecting all season. That's the guy who we were excited about at the end of last year and during our spring workouts. That's him. He's had a lot to overcome but for that drive, he showed up and it could not have come at a better time." Despite his three picks, Alexander went 19-of-35 for 200 yards and threw two touchdowns. He also carried the ball 15 times for 75 yards and another score. The offense tallied 330 yards, the most since the start of league play. Alexander accounted for 275 of those yards. "That was what we absolutely needed," Thompson said. "We got the win and it was a must win. Now here we are. We have the last game of the season at home, it’s our homecoming and we have a chance to make the playoffs." Titan Tidbits: Memorial will meet Baytown Lee Friday at 7 p.m.. The winner of that game will move on to the Class 5A playoffs. Lee beat Memorial last season 29-23. It was a win that got away from the Titans, a win that would have pushed them into the postseason in 2007... Against the Falcons, Solmon Jones hauled in 12 passes for 127 yards, including his final grab of the night which went for the game-winner for 10 yards. Running back Chance Filer got in the receiving action as well on Friday. He had five receptions out of backfield for 65 yards... Daleon Sinette also contributed to the offensive breakout. He ran for 51 yards on 11 carries. The Titans are 2-5 overall and 1-3 in District 21-5A with the win over Channelview.

Bellow apologizes to Vidor, but beats Pirates with 3 TDs By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News NEDERLAND — Kirby Bellow played one of his better games at quarterback last Friday in Vidor. But the District 20-4A’s passing leader issued an apology on Tuesday. Bellow apologized to Vidor’s players, coaches and fans for his conduct on the Pirate Stadium playing field. He did not have to apologize for throwing three touchdown passes and guiding Nederland back to the 4A football playoffs with a 35-23 victory. Bellow did admit to carrying his gestures and celebratory moments way too far. The Nederland quarterback saw Vidor’s playoff neck get chopped off when Wareall Grogan ran 84 yards for a lights-out touchdown with 3:52 left in the game. As Grogan headed toward a certain touchdown, Bellow made a gesture toward Vidor’s stands, suggesting that their heads were chopped off. Beaumont officials decided to penalize Bellow for unsportsmanlike conduct and eject him from the game after the lefthanded passer also had received two personal foul penalties. Those actions did not sit well with Vidor coach Jeff Mathews, or many of the Pirates assistant coaches and players after the tough homecoming loss for the Vidorians. Bellow apologized to Vidor for his actions on Wednesday. “I let my actions get out of control,†Bellow told The News. “I’m taking responsibility for my actions and I’m apologizing for them. It was the competitiveness of the event and I wished I hadn’t done it. I have friends in Vidor. And it was a great game. They’ve got a real good team and there wasn’t any trash-talking or any ill will meant toward them.†The Vidor coach shook Bellow’s hand during the post-game exchanges but indicated to Nederland’s quarterback that he was “too good of a player to behave like that.†When The News wondered what Bellow’s take on that would be, Kirby handled the incident with humility and class. Sure, he got exuberant. Sure, it was a big game. “He’s not the kind of young man who ever has been any problem and he’s been a great leader for us,†Bulldogs head coach Larry Neumann said. “I can honestly say that I don’t know what kind of things actually occurred but I’m sure it’s a case where Kirby got caught up in the game.†The 16-year-old Bellow has been nothing short of sensational in his second year as Nederland’s field general. His touchdowns to interceptions are a remarkable 17 (TDs) to 3 (INTs). His 2008 passing yards — 1,393 — far and away assures Bellow of being this year’s 20-4A passing leader. How does Kirby rank among Nederland’s all-time passing greats? The greatest of the great ones coaches Nederland’s receivers right now. Bryan Spell threw for 4,185 career yards as a Bulldog. That’s 300 yards more than Nederland’s single-season passing leader. Dustin Hood threw for 3,848 career yards but set the standard with 2,305 in 2004 as a senior before his May 2005 graduation from NHS. Bellow has a long ways to go with 3,169 career yards but he’s got another year to add another 1,016 yards to catch Spell. He’s already established a Nederland career mark for most touchdown passes with 37 — seven more than Dustin Hood’s 30 and 10 more than Spell’s 27. Another of Nederland’s varsity offensive assistants, running backs coach Cody Robbins tossed 16 scoring passes back in an era when Nederland stayed on the ground more. Even though the 2008 Bulldogs work from a spread offense, Bellow has been grateful to tailback Grogan and his experienced line for keeping his life as well protected five yards behind center Trey Terracina. “Wareall has been a big help because he keeps the defense guessing on what we’re going to do,†Bellow said. “I feel the team has more trust in me now than last year. I think I’m able to make smarter choices on and off the field.†One of those smart choices often simply persuades Kirby to throw the ball away and not risk an interception. Bellow had nine interceptions last year. The number has dwindled to three this year, although Nederland has played only seven games. The Bulldogs close their regular season Friday night at home against Lumberton at 7:30 p.m. There’s a head coach who has humbly appreciated Kirby’s talents, too. Neumann knows how great of a coach that Bellow makes him appear to be at times. “I do like to think we coached him to do some of those things he’s done, but it’s more the athletic ability that he has,†Neumann said. “He’s multi-talented and we probably don’t use his talents as much as we could. He could probably start in our secondary if we wanted him to. “Kirby’s uncanny in his ability to put the ball in areas where receivers have the best chance of catching the ball.†Bulldog Bites Starters Asa Cardenas and Dionte Forney will be suspended for the rest of the week after missing Tuesday’s practice with an unexcused absence. Jimmy Swain will fill Asa’s void and Tommy Gillespie will sub for Forney at defensive end. The duo will miss at least the Lumberton game and their status will be re-evaluated on Monday. “If they wish to re-enter the program on Monday, they will be held to a higher accountability for their preparation in the playoff game in order to participate,†head coach Larry Neumann said.

[Hidden Content] Hard-hit High Island school resumes football season 12:00 AM CST on Monday, November 3, 2008 Monica Rhor, The Associated Press HIGH ISLAND, Texas – Inside the High Island locker room, smelling of sweat, socks and the struggles of football games past, there was no pretense, no show of bravado, no empty boasting. PAT SULLIVAN/The Associated Press Twenty-seven players took the field for the team's first game after Ike. Here, there was only a high school football team – 27 boys in maroon and white, shoulders padded, helmets in hand, eyes fixed forward or darting anxiously around the room. Here, against all odds, were the High Island Cardinals, shifting their weight on weathered wooden benches, tapping their toes, checking the clock. In a few moments, they would play their first home game since Hurricane Ike destroyed their communities on the Bolivar Peninsula. Just a few weeks earlier, no one knew if the school would reopen. No one knew how many of the 221 students – among them, 31 football players – or 43 staff members would return. Or if any would have homes to return to. Most, as it turned out, did not. About 85 percent of the students and half of the staff lost their houses. Many of the homes still standing were unlivable. And the families, once woven so tightly in the beach towns of the peninsula, had run to the far-flung corners of Texas. Then, Coach Paul Colton put out a call to his players: Anyone who wanted to play ball should come back for practice. Anyone who needed a place to stay could bunk with him. In a flurry of text messages, online messaging and cellphone activity, the High Island Cardinals brought their team back to life. Now, with the minutes ticking to a Saturday afternoon kickoff, the stands outside were filling with family, friends and faculty, all eager to welcome the Cardinals home. Enough to field a team All Coach Colton needed was 13 players – 11 on the field, two on the bench. With that, he would have a team. At the first practice, two weeks after the Sept. 13 storm, 14 Cardinals stood on the field. These students had lost their homes and their clothes, their family photos and other cherished keepsakes, their four-wheelers and trucks, their iPods and PlayStations. Their parents, still reeling from the devastation, had moved in with relatives or rented motel rooms in towns an hour or more away. Yet, the boys had come back to the school most had attended since kindergarten. Several of the boys had moved in with Mr. Colton, and his assistant coach, Justin Charrier, who share a house near campus. A couple of players were rooming with another coach, John Hughes, and his wife, who had also taken in two high-school girls. Others found space with friends or family or faculty members. Rallying around football The school, so small that elementary- and middle-school students share the cafeteria with high-schoolers, now seems even smaller. Only 130 students have returned. The Class of 2009 now numbers only 13. "It is getting to the girls first. It will get to the boys later," said high school science teacher Maria Skewis. "Right now, they can rally around football. Sports is keeping them together." So is their coach. Since the storm, as many as seven boys have roomed in his small taupe house just down the road from campus. Here, Mr. Colton suddenly becomes den mother and homework wrangler. "You've got homework to do when you get home, all my little children who are staying with me," Mr. Colton called out at the end of one practice, as the players plodded to the locker room. Playing at home The day of the High Island Cardinals' game against the West Hardin Oilers, Oct. 18, dawned sunny and bright. By game time, the thermometer would reach a temperate 80 degrees. Outside, parents and siblings, teachers and long-graduated alumni, displaced homeowners and school boosters waited. For many, this game was the first community gathering since the hurricane five weeks earlier. Rhonda Althauser-Jackson struggled hard to hold back her emotions. Her son, James "Leli" Lupeheke, 15, a sophomore, was on this team. Since the storm, Ms. Althauser-Jackson has been living in Texas City, her husband is in Beaumont, and James in High Island with the coach. A few weeks ago, this game had seemed like an impossibility. Now, no matter the final score, it already felt like a miracle. The Cardinals lost, 36-22, though they came back from a 28-0 deficit. "It doesn't matter who wins," said Ms, Althauser-Jackson. "What matters more is that they're playing at home." Monica Rhor, The Associated Press

WO-S grad Bevil verbally commits to Lamar Van Wade The Orange Leader CORSICANA — Each time Andre Bevil took the field for the West Orange-Stark Mustangs, everyone on the WO-S coaching staff knew they had a “gamer.†Whether it was being the first young man at practice each day or needing someone to take charge in tight situations, the Mustangs always counted on Bevil to be there. He was always there. Bevil, who led the Mustangs to an 11-1 mark as a senior quarterback in 2006 and who is currently leading top-ranked Navarro Junior College into the first round of the playoffs, has verbally committed to play college football at Lamar University. “For right now, Lamar University is a great choice for me,†said Bevil. “I wanted to go ahead and make a decision on what was next for me so I could really concentrate on what’s in front of our team now - and that’s the playoffs.†Bevil has complete confidence in Coach Woodard, who was an assistant at Navarro JC until last year when he accepted the challenging Lamar post. “Coach Woodard is a great coach and a intense coach,†said Bevil. “He has the will to win and he’s a coach that knows how to push all the right buttons.†Getting back close to home would be a plus for Bevil. “To have a chance to go back home and perform in front of so many people I know will be a blessing,†said Bevil. “The new program at Lamar is getting off the ground well and Coach Woodard is so enthusiastic about being there. The community seems to be in high spirits about the program returning. The more local players on the team, the more fans will be interested. I'm looking forward to it." Bevil is concentrating on the task at hand as he will lead Bulldogs against Trinity Valley Junior College in the first round of the playoffs this weekend. The Bulldogs are pumping out more than 36 points a game and have outscored opponents 326-130. Bevil has completed 45-of-85 passes for 686 yards and four touchdowns and has rushed for 87 yards and three scores in the Bulldogs’ run-oriented offense. ‘We’ve had an awesome season so far but we feel like we have a lot more to accomplish,†said Bevil. “I messed up my ankle and had to sit out a couple games but I've been getting back into the groove again the last couple weeks. We want to take this thing all the way to the national title. We’ve been No. 1 for awhile now, so we’ll get everyone’s best shot.†Bevil got his shot at WO-S and ran with it his senior year. An outstanding All-District rover on defense as a junior, Bevil knew he was probably going to be the backup quarterback his senior year to Jacoby Franks, who is now a redshirt freshman receiver playing for No. 2-ranked Texas Tech. Things changed in a hurry. “After about our third practice in pads, Jacoby got dinged up a little bit and Andre stepped right in and we never missed a beat in 12 games with him in the lineup,†said long-time Mustang head coach Dan Hooks. “He showed a lot in 7-on-7 during that summer and once he stepped into that starting role, he was amazing. Andre had the prettiest deep ball I’ve ever seen a player have here at WO-S and was so accurate. Going into his senior year we knew we had an All-District defensive guy but then he puts up All-State-caliber numbers at quarterback. We found a true gem in that one.†During his 2006 senior campaign Bevil completed 125-of-195 passes for 2,069 yards and 25 touchdowns. Bevil, who also played a key role in the Mustangs' trip to the Class 3A State Basketball Tournament in 2006 from his forward spot where he averaging double digits, just wanted to make progress from week to week when he first took over the QB duties. The coaches at West Orange made things easy for me,†said Bevil. “They taught me so much, not only on how to perform but to be a leader too. They always showed confidence in me from the first day until the last game. Of course, when you’re throwing to guys with names like Earl Thomas and Jacoby Franks, you can’t help to be blessed.†Hooks is elated that Bevil will have a chance to shine at Lamar, a place where Hooks was an assistant in the 1970s. “Coach Woodard and Andre already have a relationship from the Navarro days and that’s a plus,†Hooks said. “Andre is a teriffic young man with a good head on his shoulders. His work ethic has always been an asset. He’ll be a good fit for Lamar. It’s great to see Coach Woodard hitting our area hard because there is a lot of talent in the Southeast Texas area, talent that seemed to escape Lamar in the past.†Lamar has snagged several other local verbal commitments recently including Port Neches-Groves quarterback Harrison Tatum and his teammate in lineman Ryan McLin; Hamshire-Fannett’s guard Sequoia Harry and defensive end Jake Koehl; Jasper quarterback Dominique Bailey; Beaumont Ozen offensive linemen John Prescott and Daniel Lemelle and Nederland standout receiver Asa Cardenas.
