5A Titans looking For scrimmage
April 18, 2005 -- With Port Arthur Memorial having amended its 2005 non-district schedule last month, the 5A Titans are now searching for a scrimmage the weekend of August 26-27.
In March, the Port Arthur ISD signed a contract to bring Lufkin High School to Port Arthur for a non-district game during Week 3, at 7:30 PM on Sept. 9. Lufkin was originally scheduled to play at Tyler Lee during Week 3, and by switching its road game allowed Tyler Lee to accept an invitation to play a high-profile matchup in Ohio.
Memorial, which opposed Tyler Lee in the 2004 East Texas Football Classic during Week 0, had openings on its 2005 schedule for either Week 0 and 3 for a 10th game. By hosting Lufkin on Week 3, Memorial's Week 0 slate is now a bye week - and would permit a scrimmage.

(For the latest on UT-bound running back Jamaal Charles from Memorial -- who contrary to reports has academically qualified to play for the Longhorns, please click to http://texasfootball.com/05blue_0413.html.)
High school coaches/ADs interested in scrimmaging Port Arthur Memorial or adding Memorial to create a three-school scrimmage could contact Memorial head coach/AD Dean Colbert at 409-962-7331, or by e-mail at dcolbert@paisd.org.
