Posted by Mike Alzamora in Local Sports, NFL/Dallas Cowboys on February 8th, 2010
The ultimate underdogs, they ain’t. Not anymore. The Saints are Super Bowl champions now. Who Dat? Try Drew Brees, Sean Payton and a team that has reversed its embarrassing past, carrying an entire city to the top with it. Put away those paper bags forever.
Brees and the Saints rallied to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night in one of pro football’s most thrilling title games.
“We just believed in ourselves and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us,” said Brees, the game’s MVP. “What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it’s better than expected.” Read the rest of this story »

Posted by Mike Alzamora in Local Sports, NFL/Dallas Cowboys on February 6th, 2009
Here’s how you stop Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith: Put them in the Hall of Fame and watch them break down and cry.
The men who tore apart NFL defenses couldn’t handle the emotions Saturday when they were elected to the shrine along with five others.
“They told me, ‘Don’t cry,’ ” Rice said, his eyes wet with tears. “It meant the world to me, just like winning a Super Bowl. On draft day, I didn’t take that for granted. I didn’t take this for granted.” Read the rest of this story »

Cowboys’ Owner Looking into FB’s Arrest
Posted by Mike Alzamora in Local Sports, NFL/Dallas Cowboys on February 7th, 2010
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones didn’t sound eager to speak with starting fullback Deon Anderson regarding his misdemeanor charge of deadly conduct, after the player allegedly threatened a restaurant employee with a gun during a dispute early Tuesday.
Jones, attending the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies Saturday in which former Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith was selected for induction, said he’s still looking into the incident.
“Again, I’m still getting the information,” Jones said. “I hadn’t thought about that type of meeting. I’m very sure I understand the circumstances behind it, but I hadn’t gone beyond that in my thinking.” Read the rest of this story »

UT Tyler Tops LeTourneau For Season Sweep
Posted by Mike Alzamora in College Sports, Local Sports on February 7th, 2010
The UT Tyler Patriots finished off a season sweep of the LeTourneau Yellow Jackets on Saturday night at Solheim Arena in Longview, using senior forward Hakeem Kareem’s third 20-point effort in the last four games and two clutch 3-pointers from Neal Welch down the stretch to earn a hard-fought, 71-66 victory.
In a game that featured 12 ties and 11 lead changes, it was Welch’s 3-pointer off a Travan Porchia assist with 3:57 left in regulation that broke a 58-58 tie and put the Patriots ahead for good. Welch had been 0-for-5 from beyond the arc up until that point, but connected on his final two attempts that allowed UT Tyler to pull out a huge road win.
UT Tyler (12-9, 8-8 ASC) led by as many as nine in the opening half, 23-14, but saw its lead evaporate minutes later when the host YellowJackets closed the half on a 15-5 run to take a one-point lead at intermission, 29-28. Read the rest of this story »

Lady Patriots Get Big Road Win at LeTourneau
Posted by Jamie Lent in College Sports, Local Sports on February 7th, 2010
Freshman Paige Parrish pumped in a game-high 26 points and the UT Tyler Lady Patriots rallied during the final minutes to claim a 66-51 win over LeTourneau on Saturday afternoon at Solheim Arena in Longview.
Trailing 29-28 at the half, the Patriots (10-11, 8-8) turned to Parrish who went 8-for-10 in the second half and made six free-throws for 20 of her 26 points.
Lauren Glasco, who finished the afternoon with 13 points for UT Tyler, hit a jumper at 19:44 to begin the second half, giving the Patriots a lead they would maintain for almost ten minutes until 10:58 when Colleen Redmond sank a 3-pointer to put LeTourneau (4-17, 4-12) up by one at 41-40.

OU Edges Struggling UT, 80-71
Posted by Mike Alzamora in College Sports, Local Sports on February 6th, 2010
Willie Warren showed it when he limped his way in for a key layup in the final 2 minutes. Tommy Mason-Griffin and Cade Davis did, too, in the way they cramped up but came back to help Oklahoma hold off a charge from No. 9 Texas for an 80-71 victory Saturday in Norman.
On a day dedicated to Wayman Tisdale, coach Jeff Capel thought it was only right that his players gave their all in memory of the late Sooners star. “I thought our guys played with the heart that Wayman displayed so much in not just basketball but his life,” Capel said.
Mason-Griffin scored 24 points, Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the second double-double of his career and Oklahoma was able to protect its 19-point lead from a Longhorns’ charge to win for the 12th straight time at the Lloyd Noble Center. Read the rest of this story »

SFA Drops Heartbreaker at Lamar, 49-46
Posted by Mike Alzamora in College Sports, Local Sports on February 7th, 2010
Stephen F. Austin got two looks at a game-tying 3-pointer on its final possession, but neither fell as Lamar held on for a 49-46 win Saturday in the Montagne Center in Beaumont. The three-point loss snaps SFA’s five-game win streak.
SFA falls to 16-6 on the season and 6-3 in Southland play, while Lamar improves to 13-11 overall and 5-4 against league competition.
In a game that went back-and-forth throughout, SFA led from the 7:21 mark until Anthony Miles hit a jumper with 42 seconds left to give Lamar a 47-46 lead. After a missed jumper at the other end, the Lumberjacks fouled Justin Nabors, who hit both free throws with 24 seconds to play, putting Lamar ahead by three to match the Cardinals’ biggest lead of the contest.

A&M Aggies Rally Past #20 Baylor
Posted by Mike Alzamora in College Sports, Local Sports on February 6th, 2010
Texas A&M hasn’t made 3-pointers with any consistency all season. But that doesn’t stop the Aggies from taking them. The stubbornness paid off Saturday in a 78-71 victory over No. 20 Baylor at Reed Arena in College Station.
Keyed by B.J. Holmes’ key three 3-pointers late, the Aggies (17-6, 6-3 Big 12) overcame a 12-point first-half deficit to deny Baylor (17-5, 4-4) its third consecutive victory.
“In the first half I was rushing my shots a little bit,” Holmes said. “In the second half, I just rhythmed up, put some air under them, and they went in.” Read the rest of this story »

Lee Gored By Horn, JT Runs Past North Mesquite
Posted by Mike Alzamora in High School Sports/Scores, Local Sports on February 6th, 2010
Coming off an overtime thriller on the road, The Robert E. Lee Red Raiders failed to hold serve on senior night Friday at REL Varsity Gymnasium, as they fell to visiting Mesquite Horn 69-64. Meanwhile, the John Tyler Lions captured a 66-51 victory at North Mesquite.
The Red Raiders squandered a three-point halftime lead and allowed Horn to take control of the contest as the Jaguars outscored Lee 23-12 in the third quarter. REL went on to miss their first seven shots in the final frame and found itself down 58-46. The Red Raiders stormed back, however, getting within three points, inside of two minutes to play. But the Jaguars iced the game from the free throw line.
Lee drops to 16-11 overall, and 2-5 in District 11-5A. That puts them in fifth place and on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs are concerned with three regular season games left to play. Read the rest of this story »

Mavs Sink Lower, Fall to Wolves
Posted by Mike Alzamora in Local Sports, NBA/Mavs/Rockets/Spurs on February 6th, 2010
Kurt Rambis had seen his young Minnesota Timberwolves unravel many times late in tight games. On Friday night, the suddenly surging Timberwolves were the ones who made the key plays in the fourth quarter.
With Dirk Nowitzki not starting after he was late for a pregame shootaround, rookie Jonny Flynn scored 19 points and Minnesota snapped a 13-game losing streak against Dallas, beating the Mavericks 117-108 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
Minnesota, which led by as much as 13 in the second half, ended the game on a 13-2 run in the final 2:14 after the Mavericks had stormed back to grab the lead. Read the rest of this story »

NFL Unveils Logo For 2011 Super Bowl
Posted by Mike Alzamora in Local Sports, NFL/Dallas Cowboys on February 4th, 2010
The North Texas Super Bowl Committee and the NFL unveiled the logo for Super Bowl XLV on Thursday morning, displaying Cowboys Stadium in the background with the Vince Lombardi Trophy sitting on top of the Roman numerals for the game.
There is a new logo for every Super Bowl, but starting with the 2011 Super Bowl, the theme of the logo will basically remain the same. The only differences from year to year are the stadium backdrop and the Roman numerals for the game.
NFL officials looked at eight designs before recently finalizing their choice. The NFL didn’t present it to North Texas officials until last week. Read the rest of this story »
