VYPE U: Rivalry Between New Caney & Porter Remains Alive

Debanny Cerda
Jan 29, 2021

The Porter and New Caney rivalry has always been exciting in every sport. Both schools want to be better than the other to prove their place in New Caney ISD.

On Wenesday night, both boys' basketball teams headed into the game fearless. In the last December matchup, New Caney was victorious, so Porter had something to prove. Going into the match, both were ranked third in district play, making this a crucial game. Throughout the entire night, it was a back and forth game with both teams going in and giving it 100% and making the best when they had possession.


In the first quarter, for two whole minutes, no shots landed. Porter and New Caney both rebounded each other's shots. Porter took the first point after this stalemate with a three-pointer by Luke Currier. New Caney answered back with a three-pointer of their own. As the first quarter came to an end Porter led the game 17-9.

At the end of the second quarter, New Caney was on top. The score was 30-28. Both teams were ready to give it their all as the final stretch began. In the second half of the game, it was back and forth with only a two-point margin at any given time. New Caney scored and Porter answered back. It seemed as if no one could keep the lead.

As we reached the final quarter, things were getting heated. Fouls and free throws were a huge game-changer. Both teams were in foul danger as things kept intensifying. Within the last five minutes of the game, New Caney made it to the free-throw line and made both shots, and as did Porter. New Caney went 19/19 on the free-throw line, while Porter went 23/27.

Porter's very own Ke'shawn Simon ended the night with five steals and 11 points. Another player that contributed to the Porter Spartans win was Colby Christian. The senior had a total of 12 points, in which three shots were three-pointers. Lastly, the player of the game for the Porter Spartans was Luke Currier. Currier ended the night with 24 points and three steals. He also went 9/9 on the free-throw line.

In the last 30 seconds, New Caney made a three-pointer and brought the score to 61-59. As Porter was fouled, two shots were given, but only one was made, and that was enough to bring the score to 61-60, making the Porter Spartans victorious.

Last night's win put the Porter boys in 3rd place in the district, and potentially playoff-bound. Meanwhile, New Caney is tied for 4th with Cleveland in the district. The next games will be crucial for both teams. Anything could happen.

KATIE CIMUSZ KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE PRESSURE.

"I remember freshman year coming in, I was nervous," she said. "I had to really step it up. Now that I am a senior it's like, wow, I've grown so much since then. I've become more confident and more focused on the game. I think that benefited me."

Refusing to Lose: Paetow continues historic run into Regional Championship

Joshua Koch
03 Mar, 2021

HOUSTON - Mike Niemi has never had a team take a loss as hard as his current group did back in December.

It was the season-opener for Katy Paetow back on December 1 against Cypress Lakes and in the end, a 61-52 loss is what the Panthers would walk into the locker room with.

It was in there at that moment that the players vowed they would not lose again this season.

"It lit a fire under us," Katy Paetow senior Everett Marlatt said.

Friendswood Mustangs

Christa Williams enters her seventh season leading the Friendswood Mustangs and they have a solid team back with six starters returning. Caylynn Esparaza (Ole Miss) leads the crew behind the plate, at third base, and at the dish with her bat. Patricia Yarotsky (Sam Houston State) holds it down at shortstop, in the circle, and possesses some "great wheels". Chloe Riassetto (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) has experience, which pairs well with sophomore Janelle Wilson. Lauren Adams (LSU Eunice), Michyla Saenz (Austin College), Maddie Wilson, and Lainie Schaeffer are others to take note of. Building team chemistry will be big for this group in 2021.
