The Lamar State College-Port Arthur men’s basketball team will play their final home game of the 2009 season Saturday against Jacksonville College, the No. 2 team in Region XIV.

Lamar State lost Wednesday at Blinn College, 90-81, to move to 8-17 overall and 1-15 in conference action.

Jacksonville (20-7, 12-4) led Region XIV for most of the season, but dropped to second behind Lon Morris (24-2, 13-3) after losing three of the last four games, capped by a 76-71 defeat Wednesday at home to Paris Junior College.

When Lamar State and Jacksonville tip off at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Carl Parker Center, it will be the final home game for three Seahawk sophomores.

Point guard Jemel Douriso, an all-district and all-region player at Port Neches-Groves High School, averaged 10.33 points-per-game in his freshman season and currently is hitting 11.7 ppg with today’s game and two road games left on the schedule.

George Williamson, a first team all-district player and runner-up for the James Gamble Award in his senior year at Vidor High School, is a two-year starter at forward for the Seahawks and the second-leading scorer on the team this year.

He currently holds Lamar State single-season records for scoring (404 points), scoring average (14.9 ppg) and free-throw percentage (85 percent).

Williamson also holds the single game record for scoring (34 points) and was a third team All-Metro Conference selection in 2008.

Reserve guard Jason Williamson, a younger brother of George Williamson, was the team MVP and a first team all-district player at Vidor High School. He was an All-Metro Conference Honorable Mention selection in 2008.
