KFDM COOP Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 KICKOFF TIMELC-MAURICEVILLE AT NEDERLAND, PN-GROVES AT VIDORThe Port Arthur News • When: Friday, 7 p.m. • Where: Bulldog Stadium, Nederland• Records: LC-M 1-6, 0-4; Nederland 6-1, 3-1• Series: Nederland leads 14-6• Last year: Nederland, 15-12 • Radio: KLVI-AM (560)• Internet: www.klvi.com • Bears capsule: LC-M's defense permitted a season-high 425 yards last week, as visiting Dayton scored in every quarter and ripped out a 49-13 victory over coach Todd Moody's team at Bear Stadium.... Bears have dropped to minus 7 in their season's turnover ratio, committing more turnovers than each of their four district opponents so far.... LC-M is fourth (right under Nederland) in 22-4A total offense, averaging 285.9 yards a game. The Bears sport the league's second-leading rusher, senior FB Kendrix Salter (656 yards).... LC-M also enters with the league's third-ranked passer, as senior President Driver has thrown for 855 yards.... Receiver Phillip Richard has the league's highest receiving-yard average per catch with 27.7....• Bulldogs capsule: ‘Dogs poise was tested in a 31-14 win last Friday over Ozen. Nederland fell behind early, came back and got great work from defenders Wareall Grogan, Jordan Landry, Adrian Pina and Jimmy Swain.... Those pass defenders and rushers limited Ozen to 13 passing yards, as NHS assured a break-even or a winning season under 15-year mentor Larry Neumann for the 15th straight time.... Soph QB Kirby Bellow is far-and-away 22-4A's passing leader with 15 TD passes, after he opened the year expecting to be a seldom-used reliever.... Another first-year starter, junior WR Asa Cardenas, practically has doubled every 22-4A cohort in receiving yardage. Asa is No. 1 in catches (50), receiving yards (750) and TD catches (10)....• Moody says: "We gained a lot of positives from the Dayton game. Our football team played hard with a lot of class and character..."* Neumann says: "I feel proud about what we accomplished against Ozen. We were down 14-3 and we made some plays to win. We're getting great play from our quarterback (Kirby Bellow) and our receiver (Asa Cardenas). He made a catch the other night that you had to see to believe.... From what I see on video, LC-M is still playing with a lot of enthusiasm. Offensively, it starts with their fullback (Kendrix Salter). He's a powerful runner and their quarterback (President Driver) is elusive in his own right. You throw in their good receiver (Phillip Richard) and he can take a short pass a long way... Defensively they have two very good linebackers (Joseph Viator and Darius Bob)."LC-M OFFENSEQB -- President Driver (24)TB -- Tony Gunn (15)
