Undefeated McNeese Captures Southland Conference Crown I got to thinking back to the Labor Day weekend when I plopped down on the couch to watch my alma mater, the McNeese State Cowboys, play their “sacrificial lamb” football game at Baton Rouge against the mighty LSU Tigers to open their 2015 season on national television. The national anthem played and the teams were on the sidelines as the traditional coin flip was taking place at the middle of the field at “Death Valley” when lightning was seen on the horizon. The gam...

Dickie Colburn - For The Record Every time I find myself even remotely encouraged by decent weather conditions that increase the odds of locating and catching fish on Sabine Lake we are immediately swamped with a month’s worth of rain in a single day.The deluge that parked over southeast Texas this past weekend, while not as bad as predicted, will at least slow down the red hot bite we enjoyed the week before. Amazingly enough, due in part to huge incoming tides generated by the storm that roared across the Gulf the week b...
Meri Elen Jacobs - For The Record Claiming the district title Friday night with a 48-0 win over Hardin Jefferson was not the only thing that the Mustangs did in their last regular game of the season. They also established the top spot in offense and the top spot in defense for district play. The Chain Gang only allowed 3 pts in the four district games-a Matthew Rainey field goal in the Orangefield win. The WO-S secondary also didn’t allow a single pass completion during the district run. “I thought we played really well for...

Water was high even before weekend downpour! Captain Dickie Colburn - For The Record Count me as one of that handful of local fishermen foolishness enough to think that we had survived the worst weather 2015 had to offer and were finally looking at closing out the year with two great months of fishing.There was every reason to entertain that thought going into this past weekend as the bite had improved all week long in spite of incoming tides that pushed water over the docks...

Captain Dickie Colburn - For The Record Prior to last Monday afternoon I was reasonably certain that over the years I had seen just about everything that could possibly go wrong at a boat ramp do just that.I have seen panic stricken girl friends and wives weep unashamedly while in the midst of jack knifing the boat trailer time and again while their soon to be ex-boyfriends or husbands cussed them from behind the bass boat console. I once saw a veteran angler back truck, trailer and boat into the lake and much to everyone’s s...

David Ball - For The Record Some BASS-related news was also made at the announcement at the Yellowfin Redfish Elite Tournament on September 22 coming to Orange. John Gothia, organizer for this tournament and also the BASSmaster Elite Tournament held in Orange in 2013 and 2015, said they were working on lowering from the state required 14-inch limit for bass to a 12-inch limit to increase competition. The brackish water in Southeast Texas can be a factor in catching largemouth bass. Todd Driscoll, Jasper-based district...
