That's a nice lineup! With Grayland, Corey Lowe, Xavier Barnes, and Dante McMahon coming off the bench. That's already 9 deep, not mentioning any JV players that will move up next year.

[/quote]Why would you have the best player on varsity coming off the bench? Grayland will be a starter no doubt!

I am still hearing that this young man will not be a Lion but another type of big cat. ;)

You are correct. He will be a starter, but I would not expect him to start until maybe half way through the season.

I watched Grayland play the other day and he is good maybe even great as a 8th grader, but he needs to work on his outside game. Those layups will be shut down at the Varsity level. He went about 1 for 10 from the field, If you think he will play in front of Darion I think you are mistaking, Darion is to quick and distributes the ball very well. He was the difference in the team last year in my opinion. They are also going to have to have someone step up and fill the shoe's on Lynn...High energy and easy baskets...Grayland might be able to start in front of Justin but then you take the best pure shooter off the court, Grayland will definitely get his playing time though...

Do you get to flip a coin these days and decide where you want to play ?? Kountze will be solid next year. Once again they will get their scoring from their defense. They will have to get better play on both ends of the floor from their big guys if they hope to get out of the region. They are going to be QUICK.

Move? Unless it's away from Southeast Texas, for what?
[/quote]I could see if his parents are moving. ;)

Could be on to something. Again, as long as it's out of Southeast Texas. But then again, that makes no sense either considering he's a KNOWN talent on the AAU "circuit".

    • This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.
    • Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?
    • Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣
    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
