— Entries for the Southeast Texas USBC Open Bowling Tournament are now being accepted until April 2nd. Being old school, I still call this the Men’s City Tournament, politically correct or not that’s what it is! The Tournament will be held on April 10th, 11th, 17th, and 18th at Crossroads and Star Bowl in Beaumont. You can find entry forms at these centers as well as MegaPlay USA.
Santino Moschettieri was hot on the lanes last week during the Mega Money league on Thursday night. He rolled games of 279-244 & 264 to finish with a really nice 787 series. Kelly Gaspard took the top spot for the ladies bowling a 229-206-631 and I want to mention Ray Norwood who tossed out the first 10 strikes for a 290 game.
Ronnie Sonnier-215-248-256-719, Jeff Wright-209-237-266-712, Tom Rugg-250-248-210-708 and Bill White-278-209-216-703 were the honorable mention bowlers.

Seahawks overcome player shortage, win easily
Matt Cross wondered Wednesday whether Lamar Port Arthur’s basketball team had enough healthy players available to face Kilgore College.
The Lamar State program literally was falling apart before head coach Cross’ eyes. The game clock didn’t work. The players were dropping like Lakeshore mosquitoes.
Point guard Derrick Dawkins had crutches after sustaining a knee injury Saturday. Wing man Elton Roy missed last Saturday’s game with a knee sprain. Opposite wing Eldridge Moore was hobbled by an ankle sprain. Power man Jayon James was sick with bronchitis. Post man Elijah Pittman seemed out of sorts too.
“I’m only about 75 percent,” said the Seahawks third-year coach after canceling a lunch appointment.
It got worse at the start of this 75-50 victory in Carl Parker Center before life improved any on the good ship Seahawk.
Playmaker deluxe Brandon Peters said he was “hit in the mouth” by a Kilgore player’s shoulder.
“I’m going to have to go to the dentist tomorrow morning,” Peters said, shaking his head. “The guy knocked my teeth all the way back.”
Battered and beaten to a pulp, the Seahawks (especially Peters) proved that basketball definitely is played above the shoulders, too.
More than anything else, Lamar State simply relaxed and rebounded. And rebounded some more.
The Seahawks crashed the boards in a way that they have not pounded them in a couple of weeks. They knocked home seven three-pointers and welcomed a special addition to their star of the game show. Lamar State College-Port Arthur, meet Lakeem Duncan.
“We asked one person to step up in practice with Derrick going to the doctor tomorrow (Thursday) and Lakeem did,” his head coach Cross said.
Duncan led the way with 16 points and backcourt buddy Shondel Stewart added 15. Peters changed jerseys (to 32 from his usual 23) after losing blood from being hit in the mouth. Peters had 11 points and 8 boards. Roy patiently treated his wounded knee all weekend with ice and also scored 11. Bum ankle or not, Moore managed 10 boards and 8 points.
And a clean shaven head coach smiled afterwards after every one in Seahawk Nation told him that his team needed to rebound better. After Trinity Valley outrebounded Lamar State by seven on Saturday, the Seahawks returned to work and captured the backboard battle on this night, 33-22.
“I thought we rebounded the ball well consistently,” Cross said. “We’re still No. 1 in our conference and if we can get everybody healthy, we can still have a very good chance to defend our championship.”
Parker Center’s game clock has been malfunctioning for the past three home games and it had a way of really dictating a lot about this game. The game officials had to frequently counsel Kilgore head coach Brian Hoberecht about the clock and its unpredictable nature.
A very good indicator of Seahawks prosperity arrived eight minutes into this one when Roy penetrated on a weave and dished out to Moore in the left corner. The 6-5 sophomore knocked home a three-pointer for a 15-8 Lamar State lead. Kilgore never got within five points the rest of the game.
Another telltale moment developed right before the half when Roy missed a jumper, but followed his own shot on a layup to give the Seabirds a 36-19 cushion. Kilgore never got closer than 10 after that.
Lamar State (18-5 and 10-2) will welcome all the support in Baytown that it can receive on Saturday night. The Seahawks visit Lee College that night at 7:30 p.m. - Ford tough leader for young Titans
