Thomas, Major and Henderson lead Huntsville girls past Madisonville

Anonymous The Huntsville Item Tue Nov 20, 2007, 11:49 PM CST

Senior Jaleesa Thomas, freshman Ronisha Major and junior Destini Henderson all scored in double figures Tuesday, leading the Lady Hornets to a 51-32 victory over Madisonville.

Thomas and Major poured in 15 points apiece and Henderson added 14 for Huntsville, which improved to 3-4 on the season after the win. Thomas also grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists. Major had eight boards, four assists, two steals and three blocks. Henderson yanked down nine rebounds and senior Nicole White grabbed seven boards.

“The kids did a tremendous job doing what we had in mind both offensively and defensively,” Lady Hornets coach Devin Gabbard said. “Offensively, Jaleesa Thomas could go out and score 30 on any given night. We want her to let the game come to her, though, while getting other people involved. Tonight, she effortlessly had a 15-point game because she got Ronisha and Destini involved.”

After a slow start by both teams, the Lady Hornets clamped down defensively in the second quarter and limited Madisonville to three points. Huntsville took a 20-14 lead into the break. The Lady Mustangs stayed within striking distance through three quarters, but with Thomas, Major and Henderson leading the way, the Lady Hornets outscored Madisonville 21-7 down the stretch to break the game open.

“Before the game we talked about controlling Madisonville’s penetration and controlling the boards. We did both tonight,” Gabbard said. “We outrebounded them 34-21.”

The Lady Hornets will be off until next Tuesday when they play host to Diboll in another girls-boys basketball doubleheader. The Huntsville girls are tentatively scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m., with the boys’ game against Crockett to follow.

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark.

Bad day for Bearkats
The Bearkats’ road to the NCAA tournament just got a little bit tougher.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke out for four runs before top-seeded Sam Houston even stepped to the plate Wednesday afternoon, but the Kats couldn’t find a way to counter that first punch.
Sam Houston connected for eight hits, but could not get enough of those in a row to make a dent in the deficit and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the Southland Conference tournament following a 9-2 loss at the hands of the eighth-seeded Islanders on Wednesday afternoon at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark.

Tough night for Kats against Rice
The Bearkats had a golden opportunity to make a lasting impression for a potential at-large bid in the NCAA tournament with fifth-ranked Rice coming to town. Sam Houston’s bats couldn’t get going early enough or be able to link enough hits together against the Owls pitching staff and succumbed to a 5-0 loss in the final game of the season at Don Sanders Stadium on Tuesday night.

BEARKATS BASEBALL — Sam Houston wasn't going to be denied regular-season title
With four conference games left to play, all that kept Sam Houston from a Southland Conference regular season championship was just one win. Whether it was at Central Arkansas later in the week or in the Kats’ conference home finale on Sunday, just one victory would hand Sam Houston it’s first regular season conference title in 23 years. Relaxed and ready to pounce, Sam Houston jumped all over Southeastern Louisiana’s pitching staff early and relied on a strong starting pitching performance from senior Michael Oros. The Kats cruised to an 8-3 victory over the second-place Lions and the celebration was on.
