KFDM COOP Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Memorial, Nederland still have shot By Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News The games keep passing and nothing is really happening in Districts 21-5A and 22-4A. Just as it was a week ago, Nederland and Memorial are still in the hunt but only have two games remaining. Going into Friday night, Memorial sits in a two-way tie for fourth place with Atascocita at 7-5. The Titans caught a break on Tuesday when Atascocita lost to (2-10) Channelview. Memorial travels to Beaumont tonight to play West Brook, which is in a three-way tie for first place at 9-3 with Kingwood and Humble. While Kingwood, Humble and West Brook are locks for the playoffs, the fourth and final spot all comes down to just a couple of games. After West Brook, Memorial finishes the regular season at Baytown Sterling (5-7) on Tuesday. Port Arthur lost to West Brook in the first half of district but would do itself a great service by winning its final two games. Atascocita, meanwhile, plays Baytown Lee (0-12) tonight and meets Kingwood Tuesday night to finish its regular season. If Atascocita and Memorial finish in a tie, a play-in playoff game would be necessary to decide the final playoff representative of the district. District 22-4A will likely be in an even bigger mess after tonight’s games. While the Dayton Broncos, at 7-5, have a one-game edge over Nederland and Little Cypress-Mauriceville in 22-4A, the Broncos play No. 4 ranked Ozen tonight. Ozen has yet to lose a district game and clobbered Dayton 98-41 in Beaumont in its first meeting with the Broncos. Also in action tonight, Nederland host Vidor, which is in fifth place at 5-7. LC-M, meanwhile, meets Central (9-3) tonight and Port Neches-Groves (2-10) on Tuesday. Nederland finishes the regular season in Beaumont when it takes on the Jaguars. The Bulldogs lost to both Vidor and Central in the first half of district, but will likely need to win each of those games in order to have a chance of making the playoffs.
