LamarStatesports Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 The Lamar State College-Port Arthur men's basketball team will play 17 home games during the 2009-10 season, the largest number of home games in a season since the program started in 2004. Lamar State played at home only once that first year, nine times the second season and 13 times in each of the past three seasons. The Seahawks play seven of their first 10 games at home this year, which pleases first-year head coach Matt Cross. "We are excited about our schedule, which will give our talented freshman class an opportunity early in the year to gain some collegiate playing experience in their own backyard," Cross said. "We also hope to create excitement and interest in the community by getting off to a great start. We believe our faculty, staff, students, alumni and fans deserve a chance to experience winning basketball this year in the Parker Center." Cross hopes to see large crowds at home games. "We want to play in front of a packed house at the Parker Center this year because we know that in order for us to make a championship run in Region XIV, we must win our home games." Lamar State College-PA also will host its first home tournament, Nov. 6-7, which will include Lamar State, Lone Star College-Kingwood, Coastal Bend College and the Dallas Diesel. The Seahawks begin scrimmage games this coming weekend at the Dallas Shootout, and will play three more sets of scrimmage contests before kicking off the season at home Monday, Nov. 2, against Southern University-Shreveport. Lamar State begins its second year in the Division I Region XIV conference with a Nov. 21 home matchup with Lon Morris College. Other home games on the schedule are Victoria College (Nov. 9), Lone Star College-Tomball (Nov. 11), Angelina College (Dec. 2), Delgado College (Jan. 4), Jacksonville College (Jan. 6), Baton Rouge Community College (Jan. 9), Navarro College (Jan. 16), Bossier Parish Community College (Jan. 23), Trinity Valley Community College (Jan. 30), San Jacinto College (Feb. 11), Blinn College (Feb. 17), Panola College (Feb. 24) and Lee College (Feb. 27).

Spanky Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Is it correct that there are no returning Seahawk players from last year's team? Good luck to them in 09-10.
LamarStatesports Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 Yes, you are correct. There are no returning players from the 2008-09 Seahawks squad.
Spanky Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 How about a roster? I think a roster is posted on their website...
