Going into the game, Lamar State head coach Matt Cross expected a tough game, and he was right

The Seahawks moved their record to 7-0 overall and 1-0 in conference action after a long game that saw the officials call 67 personal fouls – 31 on the Lamar State and 36 on Lon Morris. Both teams also were whistled for two technical fouls.

Sophomore guard Keenen Coleman led the Seahawks with 20 points. Four other Seahawks hit for double figures. Markens Charles, Vonn Jones and Dame Ka each scored 14 points, while Dame Ka had 11.

I haven't heard anything about interest from D-I schools yet. But if the Seahawks continue to play the way they are now, that should change. I expect a lot of interest to develop as the season progesses.
