Ok Port Allen has a new head coach and is wrapping up summer league basketball in the next week.
Jameion "Toby" St. Cyr is the new head coach. He coached at Livonia and Capitol High before then. (also Pointe Coupee Central) He is a very good head coach. The issue is he lost the best backcourt in the state. E. J Mcquillan and Isaiah Howard. Both are following their coach Dimario Jackson, to LSU Alexandria. They also lost Frank Samuel a 2 year starter and outstanding defensive player who could make 3 pointers.
they have 2 returning starters in J'Isaiah Fernandez at guard and Aries Lewis. (6"6 player) Aries can be an all state player and J'Isaiah is a solid point guard who is not afraid.
They have 2 junior bigs in Mason Boston and Warren Bessie. They are 6"4 to 6"5. They will need to step up this season after 2 years of being reserves.
Port Allen does and will always have a plethora of athletic, defensive minded guards that will always keep them in games
As always

I will need to see final roster in November. 1 player can make all the difference. Maybe there will be a transfer or someone I don't know about.
Without Isaiah Howard last year Port Allen would not have won state. The 2022-2023 season was the first full year playing for Port Allen . He started playing in January of 2022.
Patterson should have beat Port Allen in the semifinals.
Does Patterson have a lot of guys coming back?

Does Patterson have a lot of guys coming back? they have the big man coming back, the two guards, and i am sure they will find some pieces to finish out the team.. paterson had plenty of chances in that game and blew it.. that was the state championship in my eyes

Aries Lewis the best basketball player at the school, has been playing wide receiver this year. First year ever playing varsity. I believe he has 5 touchdown catches. Port Allen never turns in stats to the Advocate. Not sure why.
Anyway He is a good wide receiver, and he is the kicker, but I sure hope he does not get hurt. He has been taking some tough hits and he is 6"6 probably 165 pounds. 175 tops.

This is exactly what I was worried about.

My Pels are off to a rough start. I saw them play at Catholic of baton Rouge last night. 61-48 Port Allen loses. Their record is now 5 -8.
They have lost to Catholic, Southside, Central Lafourche, Crescent city, Woodlawn, Washington Marion, Carroll, White Castle. I saw White Castle and they are good but not a great White Castle team. White Castle had not beat Port Allen in 4 years.
I don't know how Woodlawn blew out Port Allen. I saw Woodlawn lose to the Mentorship Academy on Thursday. Both of those teams stink. Crescent city is normally very good. Carroll is always good. Now Southside and Central Lafourche, the last 4 years Port Allen would beat those teams by 25 points.
3rd quarter It was 32-25 Catholic winning. Catholic then scored 9 straight to make it 41-25. Port Allen could never cut the lead below 8 points the rest of the game. catholic pressed and this killed the Pelicans. They had 3 straight turnovers from the press and Catholic scored 6 points off of them.
This was Aries Lewis 1st game of the season. he had 15 points, at least 4 blocks and 10 rebounds. He played well but at the end of the game he was starting to hold and favor the wrist that he broke in football season.
Jisiah Fernandez had 19 points. He kept going and going at the Bears. He is 6"0 and maybe 170 pounds. He is a tough player. Does not back down.
Hats off to Coach Derrick jones and his team. They are a team that plays full court man to man defense and they are great at it. They don't seem to have a player over 6"3 on the team that plays much. I wonder if that is big enough to win state? Oh yeah, Coach Jones coached them to the state title with no size last year and beat Scotlandville that had a 6"11 big man.

They do have the statement win over St Thomas Aquinas (which beat Liberty and has two superstars) I remembered a few years back when they were still good (made semis) but not this good, they PUSHED the ball, and given their scores, it seems that hasn't changed. French Settlement also has an upper tier class B program feel with 2A size, just fundamentally sound with good guard play.

Port Allen wins.
2 starters quit the team in January. 6"3 and 6"5
Now Aries Lewis is the only big man on the team at 6"6. He missed over half of the games this year with a broken wrist. He has been back for about a month. Playing well. Still an absolute menace on the defensive end. I guarantee he blocks 5 shots against Westlake. I have seen him block 10 numerous times.
J'isiah Fernandez and Aries Lewis are 15-0 in the playoffs in their career. Played a lot as sopres and full time starters for 2 years.
I am a huge homer but I think Port Allen beats Madison also. They would beat Vinton. Red River would be difficult.

How big of a player is he?
How is Westlake? I have never seen them play and I have been watching Louisiana high school basketball for over 35 years.

He is good getting some recruiting for basketball and football, not crazy tall but has some hops. Westlake plays alot of press has 3 or 4 players that handle the ball. No real size that scares opponents on the team that plays enough minutes to matter. They can score 20 in a quarter and also can go really cold. They can run up and down, if they can get the shots to fall it should be fun.

Once again I am a homer. I am not rational this year when it comes to Port Allen. Especially their basketball team.
I coached those 2 guys for 4 years. They HATE to lose. They can win state. Five in a row. Am I as confident as last 3 year? Absolutely not. But they can win state.
I have been telling this board for 8 years about Port Allen.
And here is a fact: We got another one. He is in 7th grade. He is going to be very good. Possibly all state good.
I told ya'll about Nico Jones when he was in the 7th grade. What did he do? Won a state championship at Catholic high as a sopre. First ever state title for Catholic.
Told ya'll about all the good Port Allen High players when they were in middle school

Strive for five is over for Port Allen. More thoughts this weekend after I can watch the game.
They lost 57-52 against Madison.
I went to the Catholic Liberty game. Not really much of a contest there. Liberty was superior team tonight.
