PORT ARTHUR, Texas – Zion Young scored 19 points, but the Lamar State College Port Arthur Seahawks saw their upset bid of 25th-ranked Panola College fall just short in a 61-54 loss to the Ponies at the Carl Parker Center on Wednesday evening.

The Seahawks (6-3 overall, 0-1 Region XIV) were tied with Panola at 52-52 with just over four minutes remaining, but Panola (5-4, 1-0) closed out the game on a 9-2 run to claim the victory.

"We gave it a good effort," LSCPA coach Lance Madison said, "Panola made some big plays at the end, while we just had trouble scoring down the stretch."

Christian Andrews added 11 points for the Seahawks, while Isaiah Brooks grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds.  Akinde Redhead had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds for Panola.

It was the first loss at home this season for the Seahawks, who had won six straight at the Carl Parker Center.

LSCPA returns to action with a road contest at Kilgore College at 4 p.m. Saturday before returning to the Carl Parker Center to host Blinn College at 4 p.m. Dec. 10 in the final home game of 2025.
