The Port Arthur Lincoln Bumble
Bees are the defending state
champions, going for their third title
in a row. This will be their fifth trip
to State.
Leech believes that they are good
and that a team going against them
has to have a good game in order to
beat them, but, “we feel they don’t
measure up to the Port Arthur
Lineoln teams of the past two
years,” says Leech.
They start with a 6’6” a 6’6” and a
6’5” lineup with two 5’10” guards.
According to Leech, the Bumble
Bees pound the ball in the middle,
looking to get it inside.
“The two guards are defensive
players,” states Leech, “They
average four or five points. They’re
not looking to shoot the ball. They’re
looking to pass it inside.
“They get their points off
transition,” Leech adds, “and off the
press and off pounding the ball
inside.
“We want to get after it,” says
Leech concerning plans for
tomorrow night, “We want to be
physical, cut off what they do well
and let them do what they do
poorly.”
The Greyhounds acquired the
right to advance to the State
Tournament last week with two big
wins.
Last Tuesday, they traveled to
Pleasanton to win the Regional
Semi-Final Championship over the
Calallen Wildcats 68-56.
That contest was no breeze, with
six points being the widest spread of
