Just one more point, and Thailan Wesley would have scored in double figures in each game he played this season.

“Just the flow of the offense has come to me,” the Port Arthur Memorial senior said. “When the ball gets swung to you, it’s just in the rotation.”

The ball has rotated into the net often for the 6-foot-3 Wesley, a swingman who can play all positions and is leading Memorial in scoring at 22.6 points per game.

This season, the Titans are getting some added help in the scoring column with the addition of 5-foot-11 Jamyus Jones in the backcourt.

Jones, who averages 14.3 points per game, has reached double figures in his fast four games and scored a season-high 33 in a home-opening win over Houston Scarborough on Nov. 18.

“My teammate was sitting out,” Jones said, tilting his head toward Wesley, “so I said I have to take over and get us this win.”

That was just Jones’ second game as a Titan. The guard transferred from Sabine Pass, where he scored 55 points in a 2A bi-district loss to Lufkin Pineywoods last February and led the Sharks in scoring.

Jones said he didn’t know he’d be at Memorial until the middle of the summer, but he’s settled in quickly.

“It’s easy to settle in,” Jones said. “Just listen to coach [Kenneth] Coleman, do everything he tells you to do, and you’ll get a lot of minutes. It’s easy to fit into the system.”

Wesley and Jones have made an early impact for the 5A fifth-ranked Titans (8-5), navigating them through a non-district slate that included 11 6A opponents. Three of them — current No. 3 Cypress Falls, No. 5 Spring Dekaney and No. 9 Katy Tompkins — are ranked in the top 10 by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.

“I want my kids to know they can play against anybody,” Coleman said. “They have that ability. But there are some things we need to do and clean up to be able to play four quarters at a high level. We led against the No. 4 team in the state (then Tompkins) and we led the No. 1 team in the state (now Cy Falls).

Both games resulted in the Titans’ first two losses of the season after a 3-0 start.

Memorial went 4-1 at the Clear Creek ISD’s Carlisle-Krueger Classic, losing only to 6A 24^th-raked Clear Lake. Then, at the Cypress Hoops Invitational, Wesley had 28 points — two short of his season high — in a win over Cypress Lakes before the Titans dropped two games Friday to Dekaney and North Shore, where Coleman won a state championship as an assistant before taking over the Titans in 2015.

“I put us in a lot of heat,” Coleman said, adding he thought the loss to North Shore was a carryover from the loss to Dekaney, where Memorial led 21-13 before falling 64-58.

Wesley had his only single-digit output against Dekaney — nine points.

The defensive-minded coach said Wesley and Jones are his best defenders, as well. Jones averages two to three blocks per game, according to Coleman.

“We really don’t talk about offense a whole lot,” Coleman said. “We want them to get out and run, but it’s not like they’re running a whole lot of things because they run the floor and we go from defense to offense to get a lot of opportunities, and they’re taking advantage of them.”

Memorial’s next game is at 7:30 p.m. Friday against 4A Little Cypress-Mauriceville, just Jones’ second opportunity to show the home crowd his ability to score.

“It’s just a boost-up for the team,” Wesley said of Jones’ addition. “He just gives us an opportunity to score on offense and get back on defense, just to stop the other team. Having Jamyus scoring like that, he’s a big part.”
