PORT ARTHUR — A tough road trip got tougher Friday night when Port Arthur Memorial outscored Baytown Sterling 14-7 in the third period of their District 21-5A game.

That gave the hosts a double-digit lead en route to downing the Rangers 73-56.

The loss drops Sterling to 2-5 in district, 16-11 overall.

“The kids played extremely hard and they played extremely well, but that third quarter doomed us,†coach Mark Patton said.

Memorial, 5-2 and third place in district, was led by Jacovin Buckner, who scored 22 points while University of Texas signee J’Covan Brown enters the second month of his indefinite disciplinary suspension.

Adrian Fontenot paced the Rangers with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Derrick Thompson added 14 points for Sterling.

The Rangers led the Titans 18-14 after the first quarter, but Port Arthur pulled into a 35-29 lead at halftime. The score was 49-36 after three periods.

Sterling hosts Kingwood Tuesday and Humble Friday. Humble went into Friday’s play leading the league with Kingwood tied with Port Arthur for third.

“It doesn’t get any easier,†Patton said. “We’ve just started Murderers’ Row again.â€
