Shauna Kelly re-signs with Seahawks softball program


Recommended Posts

Sophomore pitcher Shauna Kelly, a 2006 graduate of Nederland High School, has re-upped with the Lamar State College-Port Arthur women’s softball team.

Kelly, an all-district first team pick in her senior year at Nederland, signed a letter-of-intent last week to play a second season for the Seahawks.

She joins a mound staff that includes sophomore Alison Heidbreder from Waltrip High School in Houston and freshman Shandi Conner from Bridge City High School.

Kelly and Heidbreder pitched the bulk of Lamar State’s innings in 2008.

Kelly saw 93.1 innings of work and ended the season with a 6.00 earned run average and leading all Seahawk pitchers with 60 strikeouts.

Lamar State head coach Vance Edwards was pleased to see Kelly returning.

“Shauna Kelly is a valuable part of our team,†Edwards said. “She is a leader on the field, and I’m looking forward to her having a successful season for us.â€

Lamar State competes in Region XIV, one of the toughest junior college conferences in the nation.

The Seahawks will play a short exhibition schedule in September and October. Region XIV competition begins in February 2009.

With all the crying about Lamar in Beaumont dragging there feet on softball we have a up coming program in Lamar State College that needs all the support it can get. Most of these Ladies are all local and very good players. Best of luck to the Lady Seahawks and I will watch several games again this year. Also Vance best of luck looks like you will have a very good group to work with.

Local girls have banned together to join this emerging team to help get things rolling.

I would guess that they will have to bring in a lot more stands to seat all the fans when this team starts to roll against the-- Region XIV very stiff competition!

    • 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.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • 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.
