» LA MARQUE he La Marque boys basketball team had gone from the heights of a trip to the state championship game to the depths of a scandal and a lost season in one short year. hen David Montano became head basketball coach. In 2011, La Marque advanced to the Class 4A title game and the future of the program seemed unlimited. A few months later, however, the head coach was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl. An interim coach was put in charge, and the team won just a handful of games that year. David Montano reversed the Cougars’ fortunes in 2012-13, leading his team to the Region III-3A championship game, and that is why he is he Daily News’ Coach of the Year. With the team in disarray, the irst thing Montano did was establish a sense of structure. “hey wanted somebody to set a direction and our job as educators — not just coaches — is to lead and instruct and teach them life lessons along with what we are doing,” he said. he Cougars responded.

“If you stay on track, kids will do what you ask them to, and that’s what they did,” Montano said. he coach also stressed the importance of team over individual. “You had to get the kids to stop thinking about how many points they scored or assists or rebounds and start thinking about the win and loss columns,” Montano said “It doesn’t matter who did what scoring, it was

his season, the Knights stepped up to 5A and went 20-14 and inished second in District 24-5A at 8-4. A large portion of that improvement is thanks to he Daily News’ Player of the Year, Louis Dunbar. he senior guard was an ofensive force, averaging 18.5 points per game. He also pulled down 3.6 rebounds per outing. Dunbar was always an outside threat and this season he showed he could drive to the hoop, too. “I became more of a scorer and expanded my game more by going to the lane and getting to the foul lane,” he said. Knights coach Darren Chandler noticed several areas where Dunbar upped his game. “His biggest improvement was that he became much more eficient with his ofense, which played better with the team concept,” Chandler said. “He learned to take it to the basket more and his midrange game improved, too. He’s always had a 3-point stroke, but adding the midrange game and going to the basket was huge.” Dunbar’s propensity for hitting free throws also made a difference in the Knights’ fortune. “Louis is a great free throw shooter,” Chandler said. “Late

about La Marque winning. “We don’t have names on our jerseys, and I told them that the name on the front is a lot more important than the one on the back.” But even when he got his charges to buy into his ideas, it took awhile for Montano to get La Marque going. “Whenever you have a new coach, there is always a diference of philosophies, and our philosophy was inside
in games, he was at the line a lot and he shot 90 percent, so that will win you a lot of close games.” Aside from being a shooter extraordinaire, Dunbar also did a stout job on defense for the Knights, thanks to his high basketball IQ. “He understands the game, so he can anticipate a lot on defense,” Chandler said. Dunbar also found a way to take the ball out of his opponents’ hands. “He took a lot of charges and he led us over the past two years,” Chandler said. “He sacriiced his body to get us extra possessions.” Taking charges did not come naturally for Dunbar. He had to learn how to do it. “I worked on taking charges because that helps the team a lot, and coaches like it when you take a charge,” he said. Dunbar credits a lot of his success to a strict workout regimen. “Instead of going to the beach or parties, I was working out in the mornings and aternoons and going to basketball tournaments.” At the moment, Dunbar is undecided about his college plans. “All I know is somebody is going to get a great player when they sign him,” Chandler said.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Astros face tough road in move to AL West Houston has finished with the worst record in Major League Baseball the past two seasons By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press Âť HOUSTON he Houston Astros and their staf think they’ll be much better than they were last season. hey’re about the only ones with that opinion. Prognosticators and pundits across the country don’t see any way the Astros can avoid inishing last in the majors for the third straight year. he odds are stacked against a Houston team that has just ive players on the 40-man roster with more than two years of major league experience and the league’s lowest payroll. Add to that the move from the NL Central to the powerful AL West and things look even more daunting. It will be tough, most igure, for this team to avoid becoming the irst to lose at least 106 games in three straight seasons since the expansion Mets did it from 196265. First-year manager Bo Porter, the former Nationals third base coach, has worked to instill a winning attitude in the Astros all spring and has implored them not to listen to the critics. “Ignore the noise,â€? he

said he tells the players. “It doesn’t matter what anybody has to say — at the end of the day, on March 31, it’s the Houston Astros vs. the Texas Rangers. It’s us against the other team. All the predictions and other things go out the window.� Still, it’s diicult to envision this team being competitive with a payroll of $25.9 million, and that igure includes the $4.5 million Houston will pay Pittsburgh as part of the deal that sent pitcher Wandy Rodriguez there last season.
Without that $4.5 million, the entire team will make about $6.5 million less than Alex Rodriguez alone will earn this season. “he one thing that you can never account for in competitive sports is what lies inside of a man,� said Porter, who was part of the recent turnaround in Washington. “We’ve all seen enough baseball and we’ve seen enough competition to know that a lot of times that will and that desire and that passion — a lot of times it wins out.�
“Now, is that going to translate over a 162game season? Nobody has the answer to that,� he said. “None of us has a crystal ball. We don’t know.� Opening day starter Bud Norris is the highest-paid player on the team with a salary of $3 million. He’ll try to bounce back from a tough 2012 season where he went 7-13 with a 4.65 ERA. Following him in the rotation will be Lucas Harrell, who was Houston’s most successful starter last season with an 11-11 record
and 3.76 ERA. he Astros added Philip Humber, who threw a perfect game last season with the White Sox, to pitch third in the rotation. he perfecto was the highlight of a disappointing season overall where he went 5-5 with a 6.44 ERA. Erik Bedard will be the ith starter, and Alex White and Brad Peacock are battling to round out the rotation. Another new addition to Houston’s lineup is let ielder Chris Carter. Carter came to Houston just before spring training in a trade that sent veteran shortstop Jed Lowrie to Oakland. he Astros like the potential for power of the 26-yearold, who hit 16 homers in 67 games last season for the A’s. He and third baseman Brett Wallace could also see time at DH. Ater failing to see what they hoped for from either Tyler Greene or Marwin Gonzalez in spring training, the Astros recently signed veteran inielder Ronny Cedeno. he 30-year-old Cedeno should be a good inluence on promising 22-year-old second baseman Jose Altuve.
Minor leaguers strut their stuff as Astros down Cubs Correa goes 3 for 4, Santana drives in two as spring training closes Kristie Rieken The Associated Press Âť HOUSTON Houston’s prospects got the best of the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Playing a lineup of mostly minor leaguers in their last exhibition game, the Astros beat the Cubs, 6-3. he Cubs began the game with most of their regular starters. Chicago second baseman Darwin Barney was shaken up ater taking a tumble into some railing chasing a foul ball in the third inning. Barney fell to the ground before crashing into the railing near Houston’s dugout. He got up quickly and walked of the ield but was taken out of the game. Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Barney received ive stitches on his let knee from the spill and that he deinitely wouldn’t play in Chicago’s opener Monday. he cut is on his knee cap, and Barney said it was so deep he could “pretty much see my bone.â€? Astros shortstop, 18-year-old Carlos Correa, the top overall pick in the 2012 drat, went 3 for 4 with a sacriice ly. “his is what you work for every single day of your life, and I felt prepared for the opportunity,â€? Correa said before packing up to head back to the minors. “It’s amazing playing with these players and our new manager Bo Porter. It was really exciting.â€? Houston right ielder

Domingo Santana was a home run shy of the cycle and drove in two runs. “It was a good experience, and I never knew that this would come so fast,� said Santana, who will start the season at Double-A. “Everything just went well. It gives me a little bit of conidence, and it will make me work
even harder so I can stay here.� Cubs starter Travis Wood yielded ive hits and two runs with a spring-best seven strikeouts in 4 1-3 innings. It was an improvement from his last start, when he allowed seven hits and four runs in four innings. Chicago began taking

Cubs closer Carlos Marmol allowed two hits and a run in 2-3 innings to leave his ERA this spring at 6.10. He yielded four hits and six runs without getting an out in his last start. Correa’s irst hit came when the normally surehanded Barney grabbed the grounder but dropped it before he could throw it to irst base earlier in the third inning. He added another single when a ly ball dropped in front of diving right ielder JaeHoon Ha in the seventh and a third single in the eighth.

Santana singled in the ith and scored on a sacriice ly by Correa. He added an RBI triple in the sixth inning.

Cink, Haas tied for lead in Houston You’re never alone Competition fierce, tight near top of leaderboard heading into final round By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press » HUMBLE Seven players within four shots of the lead at the Houston Open have never won on the PGA Tour. Twelve of them still aren’t in the Masters. One of them includes a journeyman who had to qualify Monday just to get a tee time at Redstone Golf Club. In a tournament loaded with so many possibilities, one of the big surprises is a major champion. Stewart Cink has not been heard from very much since that summer day at Turnberry in 2009 when he beat Tom Watson to win the British Open. His highest inish since then was third, and that was in the four-man ield at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. In 81 starts since becoming a major champion, he has missed the cut 30 percent of the time. He has plunged to No. 272 in the world ranking. Cink inished of another solid round Saturday by saving par form the bunker on the 18th hole for a 4-under 68, giving him a share of the

lead with Bill Haas. Haas, the co-leader after 36 holes at Bay Hill last week, made seven birdies over his last 13 holes for a 67 and joined Cink at 11-under 205. Now comes the hard part, 20 players separated by four shots on a course where birdies are available, but the slightest miss can prove costly. Steve Wheatcrot, who only got into this tournament through a Monday qualiier, got of to a good start and fell back with an embarrassing inish. Wheatcrot was tied for the lead when he shanked a shot from the greenside bunker on the 18th, the ball coming out
at a 45-degree angle, over the green and almost into the gallery. He made a 15-foot putt to salvage bogey for a 72. Wheatcrot still was only one shot out of the lead, along with Ben Crane (67), D.A. Points (71) and Jason Kokrak (71). “If you don’t catch it perfectly, it runs across the green into the water,” Wheatcrot said about his bunker shot. “I opened the club face just trying to hit a high sot one and obviously I missed most of the club face.” Nine players were only two shots behind, a group that included former British Open champion
Louis Oosthuizen (65), former world No. 1 Lee Westwood (67), former PGA champion Keegan Bradley (67) two-time major champion Angel Cabrera (69) and Henrik Stenson (68), who is one round away from playing his way into the Masters through being top 50 in the world. Phil Mickelson inished his round of 67 before the leaders teed of, and he closed with a wedge into 6 feet for birdie. He wound up ive shots out of the lead, still within range of trying to add another win before heading to Augusta for the Masters. Rory McIlroy had a chance to join the mix. Swinging more freely, the world’s No. 2 player was poised to reach 6 under for the tournament with a superb bunker shot to 5 feet for birdie on the 13th hole. He missed the putt, and then missed the 3-footer he had let and wound up with a bogey. McIlroy short-sided himself on the next hole for bogey, and dropped another shot on the 18th with a tee shot into the water. He had to settle for a 71 and was at 214, nine shots behind.

Amusingly, on his walk to the range, he wasn’t asked for an autograph or a photo op.

Trio helps Rockets blast past Clippers Lin, Parsons, Garcia each score 15 points By JORDAN GODWIN Associated Press » HOUSTON Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia scored 15 points apiece to lead the Houston Rockets to a 98-81 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. Houston was playing without shooting guard and leading scorer James Harden, who missed his third game of the season with a right ankle sprain, but the Rockets had all the right answers in his absence. Harden, who played 26 minutes and scored seven points in a 103-94 road loss to Memphis on Friday night, ranks ith in the league with 26.0 points per game. Garcia had his best game as a Rocket, hitting 3 of 5 shots from beyond the arc as a spark of the bench to help Houston snap a two-game losing streak. Lin and Parsons com-
bined for 13 points in Houston’s pivotal third quarter, when the Rockets outscored Los Angeles 30-13. he rally gave Houston a 22-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, and Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro had seen enough. Point guard Chris Paul was the only Clippers starter to play in the inal quarter, as Del Negro benched Blake Griin, DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler and Willie Green. For the second consecutive game, the Clippers failed to secure their franchise-record 50th victory. he Clippers tied the 1974-75 team record for wins in a season by beating New Orleans on Wednesday. Paul led the Clippers with 19 points, seven assists and three steals. Los Angeles has lost three of its last four games, allowing at least 98 points in each loss. Making his irst NBA start, Rockets guard James Anderson scored seven points and added ive rebounds, two steals and two assists. Forward Greg Smith had nine points and eight rebounds in his irst professional start.

My air conditioner puts out a bad smell when I turn it on every time after the heater has run for a little while.
Q
Jimmy Barry This could be caused by a couple of different things. The most common cause is called dirty sock syndrome. This is an odor like a locker room or musty damp towels. This odor is coming from your AC indoor coil. The coil removes moisture from the home, what has happened is that the newer coils are more efficient or more fins per square inch. The moisture gets trapped in the fins and micro organisms grow. When you turn on the air conditioner the coils gets wet again and the micro organisms reactivate and put off a strong bad odor. The unit needs cleaning, ducts need to be tight and the unit might need an air purification system.

What is the difference between Term and Permanent Life Insurance?
Q
Michael W. Price
How is the market?
Term Life Insurance provides protection for a specific period of time, l0-15-20-30 years. Term Life Insurance can be ideal for people with temporary needs or for the family-formation years. It allows for people or families on a tight budget to buy higher levels of coverage when the need for protection is often greatest. With term life insurance premiums can increase substantially as you age. So when the policy expires, it could be costly to renew. Permanent Life Insurance can provide life long protection and other benefits. The ability to accumulate cash value over time on a tax-deferred basis is one of the benefits to the policy holder. The premiums for permanent life insurance are initially higher, but as one ages, the premiums are typically lower than that of a term life insurance policy because premiums for most permanent life insurance policies are level or stable. The kind of coverage that’s right for you depends on your unique circumstances and financial goals. The best way to figure out the amount and type of life insurance that nakes sense for your particular situation is to meet with a qualified insurance professional.

NICE CATCH!
Anglers catching in early hours
S
aturday, conditions for ishing were good, with most of the activity coming from the jetties and surf. Overall, catches were down compared to the past several days; however, for anglers willing to be patient, there were ish to be caught. Night ishing was the best bet for taking home some ish, and anglers willing to wait it out until 3 a.m. Saturday morning found a lurry of activity in the canals of Tiki Island and along Highland Bayou. Saturday morning, Dr. Bruce Leipzig hosted a ishing trip for his family visiting from Houston and Atlanta. Leipzig’s grandchildren, Michael Baker and Ashley Baker, along with their dad, Rob, and Josh Burris of Atlanta ished the Bolivar surf and North Jetty where action inally popped open late morning on nice-sized sheepshead. When nothing much

Jelly Hebert and Misty Logan ished from a family member’s dock at Tiki on Friday night with not much to show for their efforts until they were just about to pull in the lines and call it a night. About 3 a.m., action busted open with trout hitting free-lined live shrimp one right ater another. By 3:30 a.m., the couple from Houston had caught 11 trout — seven throwbacks
and four keepers. A similar report came from Highland Bayou where Marty Hescock landed two slot reds and two keeper trout between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday. he forecast for today and Monday calls for favorable conditions. his might be another window of opportunity before the next cold front hits early this week. No reports of black drum catches were received; however, the big drum still are around and, hopefully, will be here in good numbers for Saturday’s big drum tournament at the yacht basin. he 21st annual Bay Area Chapter CCA-Texas Banquet and fundraiser is set for hursday at the Bay Area Community Center, 5002 NASA Road 1, in Seabrook. Doors open at 6 p.m. with good food and entertainment along with silent and live auctions.
