This weekend will be a busy one and a fun filled one if you are a sports fan in Commerce. Tonight the Class AAA Region II Boys Basketball Semifinals tip off at the University Fieldhouse. The first game tips off at 6 which is Brownsboro High (about 15 mins west of Tyler) takes on Lone…
Congrats to HC Nicole Anderson and her Lady Lion Squad that never trailed and knocked off a sold Texas Women’s team, 69-62 in Denton. Devin Oliver hit for a game high 15 points to lead all scorers. Now the Ladies concentrate all efforts on their final regular season game on…
Both the Lady Lions and Lions Basketball teams close out the season this Saturday against rival Tarleton State University. The Women face Texas Women’s University tonight in Denton. A win gets them into the tournament, or an Eastern New Mexico loss to West Texas A&M, which I can tell you is almost assured, with how…
This past Saturday I was going through some old Football photos that had been provided to me from the glory years, and I ran across something I have been looking for for years, the National Championship Trophy from 1972. There was only one huge problem, it had been neglected along with tons of other trophies…
I had planned on doing this, Oh, I don’t know about two weeks from now, but with the Spring Game being moved to this Saturday, I decided to hash out what are the 5 biggest things I have on my mind about the game, and the team that I am looking forward to seeing. 1.…
Lions 83, Buffalos 82 The Lions roared to a huge and tough win in Canyon in front of sounded like a hostile crowd in the panhandle. Tyrie Wooten hit three huge free throws to win the game 83-82. The group is now at 17 wins and moves into fifth place headed into a huge…
Before, I forget, the Spring Football game is on March 1st, which is next Saturday. Why it is close is beyond me, but it is what is. God willing, if next Saturday is as a beautiful it is today in North Texas, next week will be perfect. Also, I think this is somewhat by design,…
Shout out to both our Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Teams for a solid season so far, and apologies for just now getting around to covering them. Track and Field is a big deal at TAMUC, and always has been. If I Remember Correctly, we have more…
Lady Lions Run Past ENMU, 84-65 WhooOOO! Great time tonight. Place was packed and the Lady Lions absolutely whipped ENMU from Mid-game to finish, puts them right on the tip of clinching a spot in the tournament despite the rough season, and was just a huge moral booster. Next up the Ladies travel to Canyon…

Just a few snippets and news notes that I thought some would like to read up on. First off, I will be at the Fieldhouse for the Men’s Basketball game, I would be at the Ladies as well but have business to attend to. I will have pics up as AD Ryan Ivey had told…
Big Win Tonight in Commerce. Men started strong, never looked back and roared to a 99-78 win. We needed this one big time and it gives much needed confidence for what is coming next. Devondrick Walker put in 22 to lead all scorers. Celebrate this one, the folks from the Blackwater…
Putting the Breaks on the Hurry Up and No Huddle Offense…..and why it is bad for College Football..
I usually try not to write long diatribes on certain things regarding anything as a blogger. I have my opinions and they are what they are. In my analysis of the way our teams perform, I try to be as fair as possible, but in the end, I see what I see, you can agree…
Lions Hoops-Men and Women both fall in Kingsville. Women get beaten 80-55. Men get nipped at the last second 75-74. Snap: It might be time to start panicking. Maybe not panic, but show concern. When it comes to the Women, every single game they play from here on out will determine…
First and foremost, I got a text message last night that compels me to issue a profuse apology to the Men’s and Women’s Golf Teams for lack of coverage. All I can do is claim ignorance, as I know that Golf has a fall competition time, but with this being the middle of the recruiting…
So, 53 players. Whoa. Quite a write up to go, so let’s get to it. Fun Statistic, Every Single Player signed is from TEXAS. Yes Sir. Let’s go by Geography- Dallas/Fort Worth/North Texas Daniel Sefcik • DB • 5-10 • 178 lbs • Lucas, Texas (Lovejoy HS)…
Ladies could not catch a break against a tough Hardrockers Team. Had a huge rally just come up short and fall 65-60. Ladies head back on the road to Kingsville on Thursday and tip off at 6 PM. Need a win, big time.
Sigh. The Ladies just got blown out and completely dominated. Very disappointing result. I know that HC Anderson has to wonder what is really going on. Same group as last year in arguably a weaker conference. I can do all the analysis in the world, but none of it will make sense, all…
First I am trying to get results from the Track Team’s performance in the Central Oklahoma Track Meet in Norman. Will post as they become available. Lion’s Hoops. Yeah…..it’s Game Day. Another conference match-up, another big match-up, another tough opponent. Let’s get to it. Ladies First. A&M-Commerce (4-15, 3-7)…
