Here is the Lamar State press release:

Lamar State College-Port Arthur named its new men’s basketball coach today, introducing 15-year veteran coach Jerre Cole, who has been an assistant coach at Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kansas, since 2006.

The Washington, Kansas, native was a high school first-team all-state selection of the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association. He began his college playing career at Highlands Community College, where he led his team in scoring as a sophomore.

After earning an associate degree from HCC, Cole transferred to Missouri Valley College, a Division II NAIA school, where he earned All-Heart of America Conference and All-District honors.

Cole began his college coaching career in 1993 with a two-year stint as varsity assistant and head freshman team coach at Missouri Valley College. He then spent a year as a graduate assistant coach at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas.

From 1996-2001, Cole was the lead assistant coach at Porterville College in Porterville, California. During that time, the Pirates posted a 147-22 overall record, the best record of all California junior colleges over those five years. Porterville won the 2000 California JC state championship and four straight Central Valley Conference championships.

Cole was inducted into the Porterville College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004.

From 2001-2005, Cole was head coach at Peru State College in Peru, Nebraska, a Division II NAIA school. Cole led the Bobcats to their first-ever Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament berth and only the 11th twenty-win season in school history.

In 2005-2006, Cole was the lead assistant coach at Arizona Western College, where the Matadors posted a 28-7 record, won the Region I championship and advanced to the “Elite Eight†of the National Junior College Athletic Association’s national championship tournament.

Cole earned a bachelor of science degree in secondary education from Missouri Valley College and a master of science degree in physical education from Emporia State University.

Cole and his wife, Kimberly, have one daughter, Claire, age three.

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
