Fort Bend Marshall 77 - Clear Lake 75
Coming into the contest at Marshall the Buffalos had 8 games under their belt (3-5) compared to 2 easy victories for Lake. Marshall got out to an early 9-2 lead. Lake trailed the entire game due to a slow start and trailed by as much as 16 in the second quarter. Marshall's much better offensive rebounding in the first half hurt Lake's cause (Marshall 10, Lake 4). Lake committed 10 turnovers in the first half which did not help either. After a lastluster first quarter, doubtful fans feared it might continue but Lake got on track and it never felt out of reach.
An impressive Lake fourth quarter showing in which the squad scored 35 points to narrow the gap to 2 at the final buzzer was led by a valiant 17 point performance by Rob Lewis. Lewis led all scorers with 32 points including 12 of 15 from the free throw line. Marshall scored 15 points off free throws in the fourth quarter after having scored only 2 points on free throws in the previous three periods.

Alden Miles - 18

Clear Lake 87 - La Porte 49
Clear Lake Prevails Over La PorteFeature Article by Brooks Kubena
The Clear Lake Falcons start off the season 2-0 after defeating La Porte (0-2) 87-49. La Porte guard Michael Hobbs scored the first points of the game on a three pointer, but after junior Lake guard Alden Miles answered with a three of his own, La Porte would never lead again. Clearly outmatched, La Porte could not get within 30 points of the Falcons after halftime.
Lake Head Coach Tommy Penders was pleased with his team’s play.“We played good team ball” said Penders. “We moved the ball well and it’s hard to score on us. So when you have that combination we’re pretty difficult to beat. When we have a team that’s a little more talented we don’t get wrapped into individual play we try to stay playing as a team and I think that’s one thing we’re doing early in the year. This game could’ve easily become sloppy but we stayed within ourselves and I was really pleased with that.”
Alden Miles, who scored 20 points in the season opener against Milby, continued his success on the court with 20 points including five three pointers. Paris Clayton scored 16 of his 18 in the first half. Senior guard Robert Lewis scored 18 and added another charge taken to his high school career, a school record which he tied last year with 38 charges drawn.
With the score 52-27 at halftime, and Penders resting most of his starters, the Falcons still continued to dominate. Lake’s talent on the bench was evident through freshman Jordan Davis who scored 7 points when he re-entered the game in the third period.
The team’s depth is evident to senior guard Rob Lewis. “Pretty much our whole team can all score.” Lewis said. “I think we have one of the deepest benches in Houston, as far as guard play and big man play. You can take out our whole five and put in our 13th to 14th man and things keep picking up as far as defense and offense goes. You can see we’re a well rounded team and anyone can score from our guards to our big men.”
Lewis, a co-captain of the team and third year varsity veteran, knows the ropes of high school basketball and after leading the team into the playoffs last year, he and his teammates are pushing for more.
“With this team there’s not too many days of practice where we aren’t pushing each other and going hard.” Lewis said. “But this team, we know what we have and we know we can go to State this year. So we push each other and really our coach doesn’t even need to push us in practice because we’re so motivated to do it ourselves.”
The Falcons will have to be motivated next week when they head to Fort Bend Marshall (2-2). Marshall beat Lake in a close one a year ago. “I think we were better than them last year and we just made some young mistakes and they beat us.” Lewis said. “I feel the same this year. I feel like we’re better than them and I feel like we’re a much better team this year, so I think we’ll go in and steal a win from them if we do everything and play how we know how to play.”

2011-12 Rules Changes
|
2011-12 BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES 1-3-1 |
The center restraining circle specifications were changed to permit a minimum of a ¼-inch-wide single line but a line no wider than 2-inches to designate the outer edge of the circle. Contrasting colored-floor areas are still permissible. Rationale : Many existing courts already have a center circle that has a single ¼ -inch line. A mathematical line between two solid colors is also permitted in Table 1-1, Supplement to the Basketball Court, No. 3. This change provides consistency in the rule. |
|
3-5-3 New |
The specifications regarding arm compression sleeves were changed to require the item to be white, black, beige or a single solid school color, be the same color for each team member and have only a single manufacturer’s logo that does not exceed 2 ¼ square inches. Arm compression sleeves must still be worn for medical purposes. Rationale : Under the previous rule, arm compression sleeves had no logo restrictions, could have been multiple colors and teammates could have worn different colors. This rules change provides clarification and makes enforcement more consistent for officials. |
|
4-12-1, 4-12-2 & 4-12-6 |
Several definitions were changed to reflect that team control will now exist during a throw-in when the thrower-in has the ball at his/her disposal. The change primarily affects how foul penalties will be administered. Rationale : By changing the definition of player and team control to include a throw-in, greater consistency in the penalty for a common foul is achieved. As the previous rule was written, because there was no team control during a throw-in, the penalty for a common foul committed by the throw-in team after the throw-in had begun resulted in free throws if the offended team was in the bonus. This was not consistent with the penalty for a team-control foul. This rules change will result in greater consistency in the penalties for common fouls, eliminate confusion on rule application and speed up the contest by eliminating the delay inherent with administering free throws. |
