No rest for weary in 19-4A By Dave Rogers Published October 2, 2008 Crosby picked up its first win of the season Tuesday night and Barbers Hill came pretty darn close. As close as the difference between scoring a touchdown and fumbling into the end zone and having the other team score on the next play. “It was close,†Barbers Hill coach Don Price said of the play that was ruled a fumble early in the game with Eagles quarterback Tony Carmona dived for the goal line. In improving to 1-2 on the season, Crosby won its District 19-4A opener 34-13 over Kingwood Park with Chance Casey running for 200 yards and two scores and scoring a third with a pass reception. Like Barbers Hill, Goose Creek Memorial fell to 0-3, falling 49-0 to Dayton. In 7 p.m. games Saturday, Memorial hosts Crosby at Stallworth Stadium. Barbers Hill hosts Kingwood Park and Dayton hosts North Forest. Barbers Hill lost its league opener to C.E. King 41-27 and the goal line fumble was huge. “It was at an angle you really couldn’t tell,†Price said of his video review of the play Wednesday. “The only thing that bothered me was they (the officials) never threw a bean bag†to indicate a fumble. “They just reacted to the (C.E. King) kid jumping up and down. “It looked like Tony was reaching the ball for the goal line and the refs could’ve called it a fumble, they could’ve called it in the end zone (a touchdown). They could’ve called him down by contact (before the fumble) or they could’ve ruled the ball was across the end zone before it came loose.†They awarded C.E. King a fumble recovery and a touchback and the Panthers’ quarterback Josh Williams ran 80 yards for a touchdown on the next play. “We just gave up too many big plays,†Price said. C.E. King scored three touchdowns of 80 yards or longer, but nobody on the Panther squad outplayed Carmona. The Eagle senior ran for 99 yards and two scores and passed for 272 yards and another pair of scores. “He had a good game,†his coach noted. But Price also wanted to talk about his team’s improvement. “Our football team’s better than it was two weeks ago,†he said. “I think we’re a better defensive team than we were two weeks ago. It’s just when you can’t let sprinters get outside on you.†Memorial coach Bret Boyd liked the way his team played against Dayton. At least early on. “The first quarter I felt we played really well and the kids showed up ready to play,†Boyd said. “It snowballed at the end of the first quarter and we went back to youth mode and went into little shell a little bit. “We showed up aggressive and got after a good football team and mistakes helped them snowball on us. We need to find ways to remedy that. If we could get four quarters like the first it would have been more of a battle.†Coaches in 19-4A have a battle trying to play three games in 10 or 11 days, because of games postponed by Hurricane Ike. Wednesday was by no means normal for the coaches. “Everybody’s in the same boat,†Price said. “We just have to make it work. “We met this morning at 5:30, then we worked out the freshmen before school. Then the (assistant) coaches went and taught clases, then came and practiced. After we showed the team the game film (from Tuesday), we went and started breaking down tape for Saturday and it was 7:30 before we went to the house. “That’s what you’ve got to do. That’s why they pay us the big bucks.â€

Broncos drop Patriots in 3 games By Nick Cioci The Baytown Sun Published October 2, 2008 The Dayton Broncos volleyball team was just too much for Goose Creek Memorial to handle Wednesday night.

Goose Creek Memorial head coach Misti Melancon said the girls are young and still trying to handle the adjustments thrown at them every game. “They still get down on themselves when we make a mistake,†she said. “We still just have to come together as a team and step up. The girls need to realize it is a team game.†Melancon said the Lady Patriots are also still working on the mental aspect of the game. “The girls are frustrated from last night’s loss and it showed in the first two sets of tonight’s game,†she said. “It just took them a while to adjust to the lineup changes we made.†Hannah Bell led the Lady Broncos with 13 kills. The loss drops the Lady Patriots to 2-2 in District 19-4A while the Lady Broncos improved to 2-2 with the win. Next up for the Lady Patriots is a trip to Kingwood Park Friday at 4:30 p.m. •••• Lady Cougars keep distrcit win streak alive The Crosby volleyball team improved to 4-0 in district play Wednesday night with a win over Kingwood Park.

Titans, The Highlanders set to rumble By Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News The Memorial Titans are faced with very improbable odds in tonight's 7 p.m. matchup at The Woodlands, a team which just happens to be ranked No. 4 in Class 5A. The odds are so poor for Memorial, comparing the contest to the story of David and Goliath would be unjust to the entire Old Testament. And there is no sense in sugar coating the circumstances. Port Arthur has not played in three weeks because of Hurricane Ike. The Titans starting quarterback Jareal Alexander has taken approximately 20 snaps in Memorial's first two games because of a thumb injury. There has been little consistency in the 1-1 Port Arthur club which struggled offensively in a 10-7 loss to Central and again in a come-from-behind 22-19 victory over Ozen. To follow those rough outings, the Titans were forced to cancel games (because of Ike) with Aldine Nimitz and Houston Westbury, and Memorial was also forced to reschedule its matchup with The Woodlands from last Friday to today. Meanwhile, the Highlanders are 3-0 with a highly impressive resume that includes a 42-0 smackdown over Cy Fair, a 47-0 beating over Katy and last week The Woodlands hammered Clear Lake 31-13. That was obviously the Highlanders toughest test in their first three games. In fact, The Woodlands allowed Clear Lake to score twice while gaining 385 yards of offense, while Cy Fair and Katy combined for just 279 yards. All of Clear Lakes offensive production came on the ground, so perhaps the Highlanders' weakness is against the run. Then again, Clear Lake never throws the ball. The Woodlands, on the other hand, does throw the ball. And the Highlanders run the ball. They have accumulated 612 yards passing and 494 yards rushing. That adds up for a grand total of 1106 yards of offense in just three games, which is just shy of 370 yards per contest. The Highlanders run a shotgun-spread offense but have called 73 rushing plays to 46 passing. They will use four wideouts but will also mix in sets with tightends or use packages with two running backs. The Woodlands uses a 50-based defense, which basically presents six men in the box and five in the secondary. One member of the secondary acts as hybrid player, lining up as a nickelback but is often used against the run as well. The Highlanders will often put three men on the line, have two linebackers and move their nickelback up. Sometimes they move a linebacker to play as a defensive end, giving them four defensive lineman in certain sets. Memorial head coach Ronnie Thompson said the Highlanders are very well schemed on both sides of the ball. "There is a reason for everything they do and their players understand their assignments and they understand what makes their schemes effective. You add that with a large school and deep talent, you're going to have a lot of success. And they have had a lot of success. We have a lot of respect for their team. They don't just hand those rankings out, you have to earn it and they have certainly earned it." The Highlanders are led by quarterback Andy McCloud who has completed 22-of-37 passes for 543 yards with six touchdowns to one interception. McCloud also has carried the ball nine times for 119 yards and one score. Logan Rowe and Randy Knust catch most of the passes. Each player has six grabs. Rowe has 236 yards with three touchdowns while Knust has 178 yards and has been in the endzone twice. Daniel Lasco has done most of the running for the Highlanders. He has carried the ball 37 times for 260 yards and four touchdowns. Memorial's defense hopes to stay a step ahead of this multi-talented offense. But Thompson said, "just when you figure out the run, they throw it and then when you are ready for the pass, they run it." With Alexander back at the helm, Thompson hopes to cause The Woodlands' defense some of that same confusion. "We know we're going to have to take care of the ball and we know we're going to have to be able to effectively run and pass. I'm hoping Jareal can get it going running and throwing and then we can get the other guys (skill positions) involved." Thompson added that plan all hinges on how well his offensive line can protect his senior quarterback. So far this season the Titans have averaged 246.5 yards of offense, while allowing opponents 275 yards per game. Most of what the Titans defense allows comes through the running game. Port Arthur's biggest struggles on defense have come in its opponents' opening drives. For example, Ozen produced 76 of its 162 rushing yards on the first drive of the game but managed just 59 yards on the ground in the second half. The story was much of the same against Central. The Jaguars opened the contest with 70 yards, finished the first half with 122 rushing yards but were held to 85 yards in the second half. "We've been good in spurts," Thompson said. "We've been good in spurts on both sides of the ball, we've just got to get it done on both sides of the ball for 48 minutes." About The Woodlands and the tough road trip to North Shore (No. 8 in Class 5A and District 21-5A favorite) that will come next week, Thompson said the reason for scheduling elite competition is to prepare for district play. When: 7 p.m., Thursday Where: Wood Forest Bank Stadium in The Woodlands

Bump

High Island woman's missing son found on Galveston Bay island By CHRISTINE RAPPLEYE September, 30, 2008 Norma Rubin's son isn't on the missing list anymore. Herman "PeeWee" Thomas Moseley of Gilchrist was found this weekend on one of the islands in Galveston Bay, said Rubin, who is from High Island. She last heard from him Sept. 12. He was still at his Bolivar Peninsula home as the storm surge from Hurricane Ike was rising. It washed homes away and left them in debris piles all along the bay. Rubin said Moseley was identified by pictures of his tattoos and a necklace she had given him. "God gave him to me for 48 years," said Rubin, who also lost her home to Ike. Moseley was listed on the Laura Recovery Center's Web site as one of those missing after the storm. The center still lists about 400 names of people believed to be missing, including dozens from the Bolivar Peninsula, Crystal Beach and Gilchrist. At one point, there were about 700 missing people reported. Aabout 300 names were taken down after people called in to say they were OK, officials said. There have been three from the list confirmed dead. Some of those who have been found in Ike's receding storm surge or in debris include Mosley and Gail L. Ettenger, 58, of Gilchrist, who was found in a debris field in Chambers County last week. Last Saturday, a woman wearing a black tank top was found on a debris pile on Pelican Island. Her name wasn't immediately available. Greg Walker of Port Neches was found on Sunday afternoon in Orange County. He has been missing since Sept. 13 when, caught in the storm surge near the Rainbow Bridge, he made a 911 call for help, according to The Enterprise archives. Funeral for Walker is at 2 p.m. Thursday at Lorraine Bridge Cemetery in Bell City, La., under the direction of Broussard's-Nederland. A local gathering of family and friends is from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Arrangements for Moseley were pending with Allison Funeral Home in Liberty.

Yes they are looking good!
