PN-G will be minus two-way standout Tezeno in opener

By Tom Halliburton

The Port Arthur News

PORT NECHES -- When Port Neches-Groves begins its 2007 season against La Marque, it plans to take the field without one of its team leaders.

  Senior two-way starter Kenneth Tezeno has been suspended from participation in this week's game after violating a team rule, head coach Matt Burnett told The News on Wednesday afternoon.

  A regular at tailback, right cornerback and kick returns, Tezeno is permitted to continue to participate in practice this week.

But the Indians will not be able to include Tezeno on the traveling squad for Friday afternoon's regular-season opening game at Houston's Reliant Stadium against La Marque, the defending 4A Division II state champion and the No. 4-ranked Class 4A team in this year's state Associated Press pre-season high school poll.

  "Kenneth broke a team rule and he will be suspended until the time when I reevaluate the situation," Indians' chief Burnett said.

  Tezeno's absence will force the PN-G coaching staff to re-examine their starting lineups for the La Marque game. It was likely that Josh Wright would replace Tezeno as the regular at tailback. Burnett indicated that Jacob Broussard would replace Tezeno as the starter at right corner and Drew Barnett would start at left corner rather than Broussard.

  Tezeno was a member of the Port Arthur Super Team last Christmas and gave the Indians excellent speed as a runner, receiver, pass defender and kick returner.

He also led the league in interceptions last year. This  isn't  the 1st time there has been a great player suspended and most have learned a lesson and straightened out. Doing the right thing is never easy. That's why I'm proud to call myself a Indian. Someone will step up and Tezeno will be a better person because of this lesson.  So lets go get'em Indians. It's time for the ambush.

    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
    • If I had to point out one team that has impressed me the most; Barbers Hill
