Lamar State opened conference Jan. 12 at Cedar Valley with a 96-78 victory. “We have to be very careful against a team like Cedar Valley, even though we beat them by 18 in our first meeting,†said Lamar State head coach Don Bryson. “Their overall record is the same as ours, and they’ve scored more than 100 points several times this year. We have to take care of the ball and make them play our game.†The Seahawks will have a week off after this game before returning to conference action Saturday, Feb. 9, at Eastfield College in Irving. Lamar State’s next home game will be Wednesday, Feb. 13 against MAC leader Brookhaven College.
