Lamar State College-Port Arthur has yet to be over .500 in Region XIV play this season.

The Seahawks can break over the elusive win percentage tonight with a win over rival Lee College. LSC-PA (12-7, 4-4) hosts Lee (13-7, 5-4) at 7 p.m. at the Carl Parker Center.

The Seahawks last played a conference game on Jan. 9 when LSC-PA fell to No. 2 Trinity Valley Community College, 102-98, in double overtime. Trinity Valley is 19-1 overall and 9-0 in Region XIV play.

“We feel like we are better than a .500 team,” LSC-PA coach Lance Madison said. “We have been in some close games and not been successful at the end in a few. Our conference is so good. The coaching and talent level is very high. You have to be mentally tough.”

LSC-PA is in fifth place in the South Zone, two games behind first place San Jacinto College-Central, which is 6-2.

The Seahawks are seventh in the conference in scoring at 83.9 points per game. Jacksonville College leads the league at 108.9 points a contest.

Lee College is third in scoring at 90.2 points per game. The Rebels are seventh in the conference in scoring defense, giving up 54.9 points a contest.

The Seahawks are fourth in the league in scoring defense. LSC-PA gives up 41.5 points per game.

LSC-PA sophomore and Nederland graduate Colton Weisbrod is fourth in scoring in the conference. He averages 21.8 points and 10.1 rebounds a game.

Seahawks sophomore Jordon Harris also scores in double figures at 17.1 points a contest while teammate Freddie Williams Jr. scores an average of 14 points a game and Mambi Diawara hits at 12.4 points per game. Harris also averages team-highs with 5.5 assists and 3.1 steals per game.

The Rebels spread their scoring around with six players in double figures. Sophomore Tim Coleman leads Lee at 14.9 points per game.

“It is going to be a great challenge,” Madison added. “Lee is one of the most talented teams in the nation. We have to win the war in the paint and cannot give up second-chance points. We also had to be good in our transition defense.

“As a coach, I don’t think of anyone as rivals. I don’t put more into one opponent than I do in another opponent. Our two teams have played some good games in the past. Lee is always a good measuring stick to see how far along our program has come over the years.”
