The Lamar State College-Port Arthur men’s basketball team needed a win Wednesday night at Panola College to keep their hopes alive for a berth in the Region XIV post-season tournament.

Lamar State came up short of the goal by allowing Panola to take a 22-point lead early in the first half. The Seahawks came back later in the game, tying Panola twice in the closing minutes, but still lost 72-67.

Sophomore guard Jason Williamson led Lamar State with 20 points, while his brother, sophomore forward George Williamson, had 17.

Freshman forward Adrian Fontenot added 16 points and a team-leading 10 rebounds.

Lamar State closes its first season in the Division I conference Saturday at Lee College in Baytown.

The Seahawks go into the 4 p.m. tipoff with a 9-18 overall and 2-16 conference record.

Lee (12-17, 4-14) took a 45-point pounding Wednesday at Jacksonville College, losing 100-55.

The loss was the 10th straight for the Runnin’ Rebels, who last won Jan. 21 over Bossier Parish, 98-93 in overtime.

Lee won the first meeting this season with Lamar State, 70-64, in Port Arthur.

Twelve of the 14 Region XIV team qualify for the conference tournament. The two first-year teams – Lamar State and Bossier Parish Community College (also 2-16) – will be at home when the tournament begins March 6.

The tournament winner advances to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament.
