Lee's treys overwhelm LSC-PA

The Port Arthur News

Baytown - It was raining three-pointers Saturday night at the Lee College Arena. Unfortunately for Lamar State, it was the Rebels who were doing the most damage from outside the arch.

Lee College hit 10 three-pointers in the first half alone and rode Hollis Giles' 31 points to a season opening win against Lamar State 95-74.

   The Rebel were successful on 10 of 20 three-pointers in the first half to take a 57-38 half-time lead. After the Seahawks held a brief 2-0 lead thanks to a jump shot by George Williamson, the three point show started for the Rebels.

Giles would hit his first of four three-pointers on the night and then add a little runner to give his team a 5-2 lead. After another basket made it 7-2 the Seahawks would hit a three-pointer of thir own by Andre Boutte to cut the lead to 7-5.

   Then Giles would take over for the Rebels. The sophomore scored 25 points in the first alone.

   Dominique Keller of Port Arthur Memorial got in on the three-point show, hitting a trey to up the lead to 20-10.

Keller, who is in his second season for the Rebels, is being looked at by a lot of Division I programs. Last season Keller lead the Rebels in scoring at 18.1 points per game and is a pre season third team All American selection.

   C.J. Busby hit a three-pointer to up the lead to 36-21 with 8:41 left in the first half. The lead would grow to 47-27 moments later, thanks to a trey by Keller.

   Down 57-38 at the half, Lamar State came out in the second half and went on a 5-0 run to cut the lead to 57-43 thanks to a three-pointer by Noah Cole and a lay-up by Boutte.

   That would be the closest the Seahawks would get the rest of the way as Giles converted a three-point play and lay-up to push the lead back to 19.

    Lamar State had four players in double figures on the night. Seth Harley, Cody Guidry, and Boutte all finished with 12 points apiece while Williamson was also in double figures with 10.

Keller joined Giles in double figures for Lee College with 12 points, all coming in the first half.

    The Seahawks will play their first home game Tuesday night at the Carl A. Parker Center against Cy-Fair College out of Houston. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
