2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, at the El Franco Lee 

at the Hidden Lakes apartment complex in the 

900 block of Henderson. 

Jimenez, 33, had reportedly been harassing 

Davies’ sister following their recent break-up. 

When the two women left Jimenez’s apartment, 

he followed them outside and shot each of 

them multiple times as they were entering their 

vehicles. 

A good Samaritan attempted to come to 

Thomas’ aid, but Jimenez forced him at gunpoint 

to move her car so he could exit the complex. 

Contrary to other media reports, Jimenez ran 

over Thomas as he fled the scene, rather than Davies. 

Witnesses were able to identify Jimenez’s vehicle 

to Webster police, and a short chase ensued. 

Police cornered Jimenez in a strip center parking 

lot at Egret Bay and NASA Road 1, where they 

found him dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot 

wound to the head. 

Both women were Life Flighted to Hermann

Davies was later pronounced dead. 

At press time, Thomas remained in critical but 

stable condition. According to family members, 

she had undergone four surgeries, but would require 

several more. 

Webster police say Jimenez and Davies’ unidentified 

sister had broken up roughly three 

weeks earlier following a two-and-a-half year 

relationship. 

Approximately one week before the shootings, 

the Houston Police Department visited the 

ex-girlfriend’s place of employment because 

Jimenez had reportedly sent her more than 100 

threatening text messages. 

On Thursday, Sept. 30, Webster police responded 

to an incident at Jimenez’s apartment 

where the two had gotten into a physical altercation, 

but the ex-girlfriend refused to press charges 

on him. 

Houston police again visited the ex-girlfriend’s 

work on the day of the shootings after 

Jimenez had showed up and caused a disturbance, 

prompting Davies and Thomas to later 

intervene. 

One of the first 50 babies to be born at Memorial 

Hermann Southeast Hospital, Thomas is 

a lifelong South Belt resident, having attended 

Frazier Elementary, Thompson Intermediate and 

Dobie High School. 

Teen falls to death 

Pearland resident Devin Mattlage died Sunday, 

Oct. 3, while trying to save his friends who 

had driven off the road into a construction pit off 

the Beltway 8 service road near Pearland Parkway. 

Mattlage, 18, and a 17-year-old girl were following 

two friends who were in a white Ford 

F150 driving west along the beltway at roughly 

1 a.m. when the driver, 18-year-old James Benjamin 

Aulds, lost control of his vehicle and hit a 

Barmore named Pasadena ISD 

Distinguished Citizen for 2010 

William “Bill” 

Barmore has been 

selected as the Pasadena 

Independent 

School District’s 

Distinguished Citizen 

for 2010. 

Barmore, vice 

president of the 

Barmore Insurance 

Agency in Pasadena, 

was honored by 

the Pasadena ISD 

school board for his 

many contributions 

to education in the 

district. 

William R. Barmore 

Hill benefit scheduled for Nov. 6 

curb on Pearland Parkway. 

According to police, Aulds then crashed his 

truck into a traffic pole, drove over a series of 

metal guard plates at the construction site and 

plunged into a 25-foot-deep pit. 

After the crash, Mattlage and his passenger 

immediately stopped to offer help. But while trying 

to save his friends, Mattlage lost his footing 

and fell into the pit. He was later pronounced 

dead at the scene. 

Contrary to other media reports that Mattlage 

died from a broken neck, the Harris County Institute 

of Forensic Sciences determined his death 

was caused by drowning. 

Aulds was taken to Memorial Hermann-Texas 

Medical Center with a punctured lung, while the 

passenger of the truck was taken to Ben Taub 

General Hospital with minor injuries. 

Police determined that Aulds was drinking at 

the time of the accident, and on Monday, Oct. 4, 

charged him with intoxication assault. 

Thomas benefit 

slated for Oct. 9 

A barbecue fundraiser for Angelica Del Valle 

Thomas will be held Saturday, Oct. 9, in the 

parking lot of the Goodwill (formerly Kroger) at 

10998 Fuqua at Sabo Road. 

Thomas, 23, was involved in a shooting Saturday, 

Oct. 2, and requires extensive medical treatment. 

See related story this page. 

Barbecue plates, including a drink, will be 

available for a minimum donation of $8 each. 

Larger donations, however, will be accepted. 

For more information or to donate funds, call 

Kenny Fernandez at 281-412-0622. 

Barmore will be honored with a bronze plaque 

during a ceremony on Nov. 9 at the Pasadena ISD 

Administration Building. 

“I’m a product of Pasadena ISD schools, and 

my teachers and coaches were tremendous role 

models to me,” Barmore said. “I just want to give 

other children the same opportunities I had. I feel 

very strongly about that.” 

Barmore graduated from Pasadena High 

School in 1973 after attending Williams Elementary 

and Queens Intermediate. 

He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1977 from 

the University of Texas at Austin and returned to 

Pasadena to work for the family-owned insurance 

agency. 

Since returning to Pasadena more than three 

decades ago, Barmore has been a prolific and 

generous sponsor and supporter of district activities, 

including a career day event for students at 

his alma mater, Pasadena High. 

Barmore is a Pasadena ISD Education Foundation 

board member and the foundation’s president-elect 

for 2011. 

Barmore said his work with the Education 

Foundation has “opened my eyes to the needs 

we have in our schools, and I really admire the 

sacrifices our teachers make.” 

His generous donations of time and money 

to the Pasadena ISD Education Foundation and 

to the Texas Invitational Basketball Tournament 

have earned Barmore frequent expressions of 

praise and appreciation from district officials. 

“Receiving this award is the highlight of my 

career,” Barmore said. “But I don’t do anything 

for recognition. The greatest reward is seeing our 

students succeed.” 

Past winners of the Distinguished Citizen 

award are: Faye Schimek, 1995; Kathyrn Whitfill, 

1996; Kathleen Morris, 1997; John Phelps, 

1998; Denise Converse, 1999; Gilbert Aguilar,

A benefit for Daisy Hill will be held Saturday, 

Nov. 6, at The Gardens, 12001 Beamer, from 6 to 

11 p.m. 

A 30-year South Belt resident and longtime 

volunteer youth coach, Hill suffers from a rare 

stage-four orphan cancer called paraganglioma, 

for which there is no cure. 

In 2008, Hill appeared on Mystery Diagnosis 

on the Discovery Health channel. The 60-minute 

program, titled The Woman with the Giant Lump, 

chronicled Hill’s battle to remove a massive tumor 

from her neck. Although benign, the tumor 

caused Hill, 59, severe pain and problems with 

her balance. Doctors said it also posed a high risk 

for stroke. 

Hill’s medical troubles began in 1990 when 

she attempted to have her paraganglioma resected 

at an area hospital, and doctors mistakenly removed 

her parotid gland, causing her to contract 

Frey’s Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder 

that damages the facial nerve. 

On subsequent trips to the hospital, doctors 

assured a concerned Hill that all traces of the tumor 

were gone. 

Over the next 15 years, however, Hill noticed 

that she was developing a growth on the side of 

her neck. This got progressively worse, expanding 

at an alarming rate and generating extreme 

pain. 

Weary of doctors and without medical insurance, 

Hill put off visiting a physician as long as 

she could. By October 2006, however, the pain 

had become unbearable. 

Convinced she now had cancer, Hill reluctantly 

went in for a checkup. She was shocked to 

hear from her new doctors that her 1990 operation 

had been botched. 

Now far too late for legal recourse, Hill was 

fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of Dr. 

Eugene Alford, who sympathized with her situation 

and volunteered his services pro bono. Joining 

Alford in his charitable work on Hill, were 

colleagues Michael Reardon, Richard Kluznuk 

and Brian Butler (whom Hill collectively refers 

to as “the dream team”). 

Together, the doctors worked tirelessly on her 

operations and recovery. 

In all, Hill underwent three surgeries. 

The removed tumor, measuring 22 centimeters 

by 19 centimeters, was the largest the doctors 

had ever seen. The surgical process was filmed 

to be used as a tool for future medical students. 

Following her surgery, Hill endured five weeks 

of head and neck radiation therapy. 

Unfortunately, Hill’s paraganglioma has now 

metastized into her lungs, pelvis, chest and 

throat, and her condition requires multiple costly 

treatments. 

Hill also recently lost her only child, Ronnie 

Hill, who himself suffered from a rare disorder 

known as Holt-Oram Syndrome. 

The fundraiser will feature food, a raffle, a live 

auction and door prizes. Barbecue plates will be 

$10 each. 

For more information or to donate items, call 

281-481-2925, 281-650-8014, 713-882-9601 or 

281-481-9338. 

An account has also been established at the 

Wells Fargo Scarsdale branch at 11102 Scarsdale. 

Checks should be made payable to The 

Benefit of Daisy Hill, Attention to Boris Hernandez 

or Judy Miller.

Readers’ Opinions 

Legler: The results 

are in . . . . 

Yes, that is right, the results of this 

non-scientific survey contained in the 

Summer 2010 newsletter that you sent 

out have been tabulated. And yes, I did 

say the newsletter that you sent out 

because your tax dollars paid for the 

newsletter to help keep you informed and 

it is an additional tool in helping me perform 

my duties in Austin, which is representing 

you. 

The newsletter was sent to every 

household that voted in the 2008 general 

election, which is roughly 40,000 voters. 

Before the percentages are revealed, I 

would like to thank every person who 

returned a completed survey to my office. 

One of the hallmarks of citizenship is 

participation and participate you did. It is 

truly a lot easier to represent you in 

Austin when I have several good guide 

posts to rely on when the time comes to 

decide how to vote on certain issues. 

I would also like to thank everyone 

who responded with their own thoughts 

on the blank lines under additional comments. 

These additional comments have 

been very good indicators on issues that 

are on the minds of people in House 

District 144 concerning topics that were 

not directly questioned in the survey. 

On that subject, the main topic of concern, 

according to the additional comments, 

is border security. Most of the 

comments noted in some form or other 

concern with the rising violence occurring 

on the other side of the Rio Grande 

and possible impacts here in Texas. I 

could not agree more. Securing the border 

against those who wish to harm 

Texas and America has to be one of the 

top priorities of not only Texas but also of 

the Federal Government. In fact (to give 

you a preview of the results) almost 80% 

of those who returned the survey are in 

favor of using state funds to increase 

border security. (Though when you think 

about it, it is sad that Texas must consider 

using our own tax dollars at a time 

when money is tight to perform a Federal 

obligation.) 

The second topic of concern, again 

according to the additional comments, is 

education. The majority of comments 

concerned ensuring money Texas sends 

to schools is used directly in the classrooms. 

As you are well aware, ensuring 

the children of House District 144 has 

been one of my top priorities since I was 

first elected. The upcoming session in 

January is going to be a very tough one, 

with Texas facing a budget deficit approximated 

between $18-20 billion dollars 

and over half of the budget is dedicated 

to funding education. I agree that majority 

of money that Texas sends to school 

districts should be used to directly benefit 

students in the classroom. 

Now, with that said, I am pleased to 

publish the results of the poll. And please, 

as always, if there is any topic of concern 

or issue you would like to have special 

attention paid to, contact either my district 

office or my capitol office. Remember, 

we are here to work for you. 

Do you support or oppose increasing 

border security by using state funds? 

Favor: 79% – Oppose: 22% 

Do you support or oppose requiring 

individuals to present photo identity to 

vote or take part in an election? 


Do you support or oppose increasing 

the penalties for business and individuals 

who employ illegal workers? 


Do you support or oppose a law that 

would lower the current ten percent 

annual home appraisal cap to five percent? 


Do you support or oppose the ability 

for the local property appraisal board 

chairperson to be elected by local voters? 


Do you support or oppose eliminating 

school property tax by raising the state 

sales tax? Favor: 49% – Oppose: 51% 

Do you support or oppose a law that 

would lower the state sales tax by 

expanding it to cover all products and 

services currently exempted? 


Do you support or oppose people who 

fail a drug test from receiving unemployment 

benefits? 


Do you support or oppose more transparency 

of local government, including 

school districts, by placing their budgets 

and check registers on-line so local residents 

are better able to track where tax 

dollars are spent? 


Do you support or oppose allowing 

freshmen who are entering college to 

lock in and freeze tuition rates for four 

years so families can better plan for the 

cost of college? 


Do you support or oppose allowing 

casino gambling in Texas?

parents to Thompson’s open house. 

On Sept. 16, Thompson Intermediate 

held its annual open house and, 

according to peer facilitator Emily 

R. Cruz, it was a hit. Nearly 400 

parents, grandparents, relatives, 

etc., lined the entrance doors to see 

the newly repainted Recognized 

campus. Principal Toni Lopez took 

the stage and gave a warm and 

inviting message for all the families 

explaining the love and commitment 

they have for the children. 

Hallways were filled with many 

teachers welcoming parents into 

their classrooms and giving advice 

on studying skills while introducing 

them to the curriculum. At the 

end of the night, the crowd filled 

the book fair in the library and 

talked about the next Thompson

the PTO program. It was a night 

that reminded people how important 

it is to have a close-knit relationship 

between community and

National Merit 

Finalists named 

The Clear Creek Independent 

School District recently 

announced that 41 students 

at four high schools had been 

selected semifinalists in the 

2011 National Merit Scholarship 

Program. 

These academically talented 

high school seniors 

have an opportunity to continue 

in the competition for 

8,400 National Merit Scholarships, 

worth more than $36 

million, that will be offered 

next spring. 

To be considered for a 

Merit Scholarship® award, 

semifinalists must fulfill several 

requirements to advance 

to the finalist level of the competition. 

About 90 percent of 

the semifinalists are expected 

to attain finalist standing, and 

approximately half of the finalists 

will win a National 

Merit Scholarship, earning 

the Merit Scholar® title. 

Lauren Conde, placed eighth 

in the nation in hospitality 

management; Wesley Fly 

placed third in sales presentation; 

and Tania Sederdahl, 

who recently transferred to 

University of Texas in Arlington, 

was elected PBL vice 

president for the Mountain 

To become a finalist, a 

semifinalist must have an 

outstanding academic record 

throughout high school, be 

endorsed and recommended 

by the high school principal 

and earn SAT scores that 

confirm the student’s earlier 

performance on the qualifying 

test (PSAT). 

The semifinalist and a 

high school official must submit 

a detailed scholarship application, 

which includes the 

student’s essay and information 

about the semifinalist’s 

participation and leadership 

in school and community activities. 

In Texas, juniors had 

to score at least 215 on last 

fall’s qualifying test. 

National Merit Scholarship 

recipients from Clear 

Brook High School are Dylan 

S. Domel-White, Kelly Hogg, 

Graham A. Montgomery and 

Nicholas D. Scheifler. 

Plains Region. 

“This was an extraordinary 

event for all of us,” said 

Alvarado. “Our SJC professors 

were really supportive 

in preparing us. We learned 

how to face real-world experiences 

and how to handle 

the day-to-day challenges in 

a business setting.” 

Alvarado said participants 

were required to complete 

online tests and a role-play 

scenario in their areas, which 

included public speaking, impromptu 

speaking, business 

ethics, economics, business 

law and computer applications. 

Phi Beta Lambda is a 

student business association 

that offers members the opportunity 

to learn, travel and 

grow as business professionals. 

More than 1,600 students 

compete each year alongside 

SJC students, said Elizabeth 

McKinley, PBL advisor and 

business professor at SJC 

South. 

“We took nine students to 

compete and came home with 

three national awards and a 

national vice president,” said 

McKinley. “They represented 

San Jacinto College very well 

and demonstrated how hard 

work really does pay off.”

Wuenschel Citizen of the Year 

The 2010 Clear Creek 

Independent School District 

Citizen of the Year is Dr. 

Peter Wuenschel, executive 

director of Communities in 

Schools Bay Area. As executive 

director, Wuenschel 

leads a team whose mission 

is to help young people stay 

in school, successfully learn, 

and prepare for life. 

By living up to that mission 

and keeping potential 

CCISD dropouts in school, 

the organization has had a big 

hand in the district’s earning 

the exemplary rating. CCISD 

Superintendent Dr. Greg 

Smith stated that “through

his leadership he has added a 

new level of accountability to 

the CIS services provided to 

students and families ensuring 

that kids stay in school.” 

Wuenschel said he was 

honored by the award but remained 

humble by accepting 

it on behalf of the employees 

of Communities in Schools 

Bay Area. That sums up 

Wuenschel, a man driven to 

be of service to others. 

“I have always recognized 

the importance of education 

and have instilled the desire 

for continuing education 

in my four grown children. 

However, I credit the employees 

of CIS – Bay Area with 

instilling in me a passion to 

see that every child graduates 

from high school,” Wuenschel 

said. 

“The employees of CIS 

– Bay Area work intensively 

with students who are at risk 

of dropping out of school and 

help them engage in school 

activities and see the benefit 

of graduating. These students 

come from all walks of life 

but for many reasons may be 

struggling academically because 

they don’t feel a part of 

their school. The CIS - Bay 

Area coordinators let these students 

know that there is a caring 

adult who can give them 

hope,” Wuenschel added. 

“Dr. Wuenschel has guided 

CIS to become a more collaborative 

partner with Clear 

Creek ISD,” Smith said. “We 

look forward to working with 

Dr. Wuenschel as our Citizen 

of the Year and CIS in the future 

to insure that every child 

stays in school and benefits 

from a high quality education 

in CCISD.” 

In 2005, the CCISD board 

of trustees established the 

Citizen of the Year award, 

which is managed through 

the Clear Creek Education 

Foundation. It has been 

awarded previously to the 

late Bob Forde; Sandy Johnson, 

Barrios Technology 

Dr. Peter Wuenschel 

CEO; Charlie Pond, CCISD 

community volunteer; and 

Lucien Junkin, CCISD Robotics 

program co-founder. 

Wuenschel will build on their 

legacy and would like to “encourage 

everyone who can to 

be involved in volunteering to 

help our young people gain a 

quality education. They are 

our future work force and our 

future leaders.” 

“My role in CIS – Bay 

Area is to engage businesses 

and individuals in helping atrisk 

students know that the 

community supports them,” 

Wuenschel said. “I have been 

blessed with a wonderful 

wife who supports my career 

choice, and I have been 

blessed with a wonderful job 

that allows me to engage the 

community in helping kids 

stay in school. All my volunteer 

efforts are to that end.” 

Wuenschel will be honored 

as the Citizen of the Year

AACC appoints Hellyer, 

Murphy to commissions 

San Jacinto College Chancellor 

Dr. Brenda Hellyer and 

SJC South campus President 

Dr. Maureen Murphy have 

been selected to serve this 

year on commissions with 

the American Association of 

Community Colleges. 

Hellyer will serve on the 

Commission on Academic, 

Student and Community Development, 

and Murphy will 

serve on the Commission on 

Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. 

“The fact that both Dr. 

Hellyer and Dr. Murphy were 

accepted speaks very well of 

the institution,” said Norma 

Kent, senior vice president 

for communications with the 

AACC. “Selection is an honor, 

because it’s a very competitive 

process.” 

Headquartered in the National 

Center for Higher Education 

in Washington, D.C., 

the AACC is the primary advocacy 

organization for community 

colleges at the national 

level and works closely 

with directors of state offices 

to inform and affect state 

policy. The association represents 

almost 1,200 two-year, 

associate degree-granting institutions, 

and more than 11 

million students. 

Kent said the six AACC 

commissions allow community 

college administrators 

to advise the board of directors. 

The Commission on Academic, 

Student and Community 

Development addresses 

such issues as community 

college accreditation, dual 

enrollment, student services 

and success, and distance 

Morris teachers honored

hours of professional development as a science teacher mentor and Diana 

Murray (right) was recognized for her 131 hours of professional development 

as a science teacher mentor. The Evening for Excellence in Science 

Teaching provided recognition from a variety of university, community and 

educational representatives. Certificates of achievements, as evidence of 

dedication to lifelong learning and commitment to the teaching profession, 

were presented to both teachers.

Community Development,” 

said Hellyer. “I welcome the 

opportunity to share ideas 

to learn how others are enhancing 

the nation’s community 

colleges and make higher 

education more accessible to 

students, resulting in an increase 

in student success.” 

Murphy is currently the 

president-elect for the American 

Association for Women 

in Community College, an affiliate 

council of the AACC, 

and will step into the position 

as president next year. 

“This is going to be an 

incredible experience,” said 

Murphy. “I really welcome 

this opportunity. We at San 

Jacinto College have a rich 

environment with students 

who reflect our community. I 

look forward to working with 

other community colleges 

and telling our story and our 

student experience.”

games, the Longhorns are 

coming off a bye week. With 

the exception of one or two 

players, everyone has had a 

chance to heal up a bit and 

recharge the batteries. 

The final five weeks 

of the regular season will 

come one at a time, but the 

goal will be the same. 

Dobie will meet Pasadena 

Oct. 8 at Newcomb 

Field to kick off the District 

22-5A schedule for both 

teams. 

Dry cleaned suits, freshly 

pressed shirts, recently 

JFD tennis still unbeaten in 22-5A race 

Dobie’s action plan en 

route to reaching the Region 

III varsity team tennis tournament 

is working out just 

fine for now, but now the 

team may have its toughest 

challenge ahead. 

After beating the South 

Houston Trojans 18-1 Oct. 

5 at Dobie, the Longhorns 

stayed unbeaten at 4-0 in 

District 22-5A action. Now 

comes the capper. 

The Longhorns are set to 

take on Deer Park, also 4-0, 

on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 3:30 

p.m. Both teams are in great 

position for the postseason 

22-5A tournament, but there 

is still so much at stake. 

The Dobie-Deer Park 

winner will not only gain a 

bye all the way to the 22-5A 

tournament championship 

round but will also earn a 

Region III tournament seeding. 

“This is what we have 

been playing and planning 

for,” Dobie head coach 

Manuel Moreno Jr. said. 

“Beating Deer Park is 

not a do-or-die situation in 

terms of the postseason, but 

it would be a big accomplishment. 

I’m just proud 

of our kids for getting to 

this position and having this 

chance. Having said that, 

we want to beat Deer Park.” 

The Longhorns and Deer 

have thus far dominated 22- 

5A play.

Cowboys sweep 

Sharks in rout 

at EFL Park 

Each of the Sagemont 

Cowboys teams remained 

in serious playoff 

contention after a 

sweep over the Magnolia 

Park Sharks Oct. 2 

at El Franco Lee Park. 

The Cowboys’ senior 

division team began the 

day with a rousing 32-0 

victory over the Magnolia 

Park Sharks. Along 

the way, the winners 

got great defensive play 

from everyone, including 

Shamaud Smith- 

Kizzie (making tackle at 

right). Smith-Kizzie also 

scored a touchdown in 

the game as the Cowboys 

improved to 6-1 with the 

victory. Sagemont’s other 

three teams also won 

big games in the series, 

leaving each well within 

the mix for the postseason.

Thanks to a three-match 

winning streak, Clear 

Brook’s varsity volleyball 

bought evening dresses and 

mums are beautiful and 

all, but all Phillips and the 

Longhorns want for homecoming 

is a victory. 

“I’ve explained to the 

players that basically homecoming 

is for everybody 

else to enjoy,” Phillips said. 

“Our job is to go out and 

win a football game, and 

right now that is all we are 

focused on.” 

Dobie should enter the 

game with plenty of confidence.

play, and a defense that 

offered little more than a 

handful of question marks 

has played exceptionally 

well. Phillips is excited 

about beginning district action. 

“In the game of football, 

anything can happen,” Phillips 

said. “We have seen 

what Pasadena is capable 

of doing from an offensive 

standpoint, but our defense 

has really come on and 

played well. 

“Coach (Carey) Sink and 

the staff have done a great 

start, while at Dobie the 

Lady Longhorns are holding 

steady at 2-2 after a split 

of two matches. 

CB tied for third place 

Sitting at 2-3 after a loss 

to Clear Lake in the first half 

of district play, the Lady 

Wolverines were in need of 

a big turnaround. 

So far, so good. Clear 

Brook has suddenly reeled 

off three straight wins to 

get to 5-3, which counts for 

a third-place tie with Pearland. 

The Lady Wolverines 

began their run by sweeping 

past Pearland and then 

closed out the first half of 

district play with a marathon 

win at Dickinson. 

Alicia Dittrich, a fouryear 

member of the varsity 

team, stepped up at the 

right time as she slammed a 

match-high 24 kills in a 25-

job of getting players in the 

right spots, and the players 

have responded with a great 

effort. I’m very pleased 

with that aspect of our football 

team.” 

If the Longhorns are 

able to effectively slow the 

Eagles’ option attack, the 

home team should be looking 

fairly good. 

Although running backs 

Andrew Robinson and Davion 

Hurst have nursed injuries 

over the past couple of 

weeks, Demarcus Boyd has 

been consistently spectacular. 

Quarterback Blake Jackson 

has improved steadily 

as a combo passing/running 

quarterback, and the receivers 

have played well above 

expectations. 

“We spent the bye week 

getting back to the fundamentals,” 

Phillips said. 

“You can work on those 

things prior to the season, 

but then you have to go out 

and play games. In our non-

in each of the four games. 

Cowboys seniors 32 

Sharks 0 

In the first game of the 

series, the Cowboys’ senior 

division team improved 

to 6-1 after blanking the 

Sharks 32-0. 

The victory allowed the 

Cowboys to remain atop the 

standings at 6-1 along with 

the Alvin Raiders. 

Against Magnolia Park, 

the Cowboys’ offense was 

in high gear and the defense 

was stingy. 

Ulanis Betts and Ricardo 

Estrada scored two touchdowns 

apiece, and Shamaud 

Smith-Kizzee also scored a 

touchdown. James Johnson 

ran for a conversion following 

one of the Cowboys’ 

scores. 

The Cowboys’ easy win 

came as the result of a total 

team effort. Those leading 

the charge for the winners 

included Esteban Telles, 

Miguel Valencia, Nick 

Melendez, Jacob Allison, 

The Beverly Hills Intermediate 

volleyball program 

scored three victories in four 

matches against Queens to

Sept. 30 

The eighth-grade Lady 

Bears played two outstanding 

matches against the 

Lady Hornets, winning 

both. 

8 Dark now 3-1 

Beverly Hills’ eighthgrade 

Dark team was determined 

to beat the Hornets 

from the outset. 

Lauren Sanchez had nine 

unreturnable serves, and 

Alondra Arriaga delivered 

eight serves the Hornets 

could not return. 

Tran To chipped in and 

had three remarkable kills 

that left the Hornets dazed. 

Malyn Nunez, Kirsten 

Dominguez and Lissette 

Portales all showed off their 

excellent receiving skills as 

the Lady Bears won for the 

third time in four matches 

this season. 

8 Light still unbeaten 

The eighth-grade Light 

team played its best match 

of the season, beating 

Queens along the way and 

staying in a first-place tie 

with Park View at 4-0. 

With perfect transitioning 

and leadership from 

Clarissa Moreno, the Lady 

Bears were unstoppable. 

The team has been working 

hard on its serving, and 

it paid off in this match. 

Jai Franklin came through 

with 15 great serves, including 

three aces. 

Monica Plouche had 12 

solid serves, including eight 

the Lady Hornets could not 

return. 

Sady Olguin, Franklin 

and Plouche combined for 

15 kills. 

Mariah Escobar and 

Suzette Gonzalez both received 

every serve that 

came their way beautifully.

The Lady Bears’ seventhgrade 

Light team squared 

its record at 2-2 with a win 

over Queens. 

Cowboys juniors 28

In the junior division, the 

Cowboys took care of their 

business to the tune of a 

Sagemont’s junior division team used a big defensive effort to get

The Lady Bears started 

off with great serves from 

Lada Heng, who had five 

winning serves and one 

ace. 

Sandra Gonzalez then 

stood out as she contributed 

14 straight great serves to 

put the Bears in the lead. 

Beverly Hills hustled and 

played together as a group, 

and Kristy Christmas had 

three kills at the net to end 

the first game 25-13. 

In the second game, the 

Lady Bears served well to 

help the team close out the 

win. 

Great serves from Giselle 

Landa who contributed four 

winners, Melany Menjivar 

(three winners) and Lada 

Heng (nine winning serves,

Teammate Isaiah Allen

the Sharks had trouble moving 

the football for the most 

part. 

Each of the Cowboys’ 

Lady Lions’ VB battles Southmore 

Thompson Intermediate’s 

girls’ volleyball program 

gave a great effort but 

came up short in each of its 

matches against Southmore 

Sept. 30. 

In the eighth-grade 

matches, Thompson coach 

Rebecca de la Garza 

watched as her teams played 

with energy and enthusiasm 

the entire way. 

The eighth-grade Dark 

team slipped to 0-4 but had 

several players step up. 

Desha Harrison led the 

team with 11 solid serves, 

and Maris Mejia turned in 

five solid serves and six 

kills. Teammate Adriana 

Resendez did her part with 

five hits in the match. 

On the defensive side, 

Jessie Huynh was the Lady 

Lions’ top performer. 

The eighth-grade Light 

team fell to 2-2 after dropping 

the decisive third game 

of the match to Southmore. 

The Lady Lions lost the 

opening game but came 

back to knot the match with 

a second-game win. Southmore 

then came up with the 

key points in the third game 

for the win. 

Thompson had many offensive 

leaders in the marathon 

match. 

Emily Wolfe had nine 

good serves to go with nine 

hits, six kills, three digs and 

three blocks. 

Wolfe played a terrific 

overall match and especially 

excelled on the front row. 

Kara-Anne Snyder delivered 

eight solid serves 

and showed amazing hustle, 

diving to keep several balls 

alive for the Lady Lions. 

Kristin Scholwinski added 

13 good serves, and Jessica 

Jones had five hits and 

three kills. 

Thompson’s offense was 

great in the match, and the 

Lady Lions also stayed 

within striking distance 

late in the match by playing 

great defense. 

Libero Valerie Colunga 

was all over the court as she 

had eight digs to go with 

eight great serves from the 

back line, drawing praise 

from her coach for her accurate 

passing and flawless 

play. 

“I am really proud of 

the progress the girls have 

made, and we will keep 

working hard to get better 

each week,” de la Garza 

said. 

Lady Bears’ VB wins three matches 

a loss to Queens. The loss 

dropped the Lady Bears to 

1-3 this season. 

Beverly Hills used outstanding 

serving to win the 

first game 25-18. 

Georgette Wandji had 

two aces among five good 

serves, and Juliana Salinas 

had an ace among five 

good serves. Briana Walker 

also turned in four scoring 

serves. Diana Torres added 

an ace as part of four good 

serves. 

Queens battled back to 

win the second game and 

then took a big lead in the 

deciding third game. 

The Lady Bears fought 

back to within a point but 

eventually lost the match. 

Ashley Castillo led the 

comeback as she had 12 

consecutive solid serves, including 

a pair of aces. 

Beverly Hills scored 13 

straight points to get within 

one point of Queens, but the 

Lady Hornets held on for 

the win.

BHI football manhandles SoHo 

The Beverly Hills Intermediate 

football program 

had no trouble handling 

the South Houston Indians, 

winning four games Sept. 

26-27. 

Bears 8A 21 

South Houston 0 

The Beverly Hills eighthgrade 

A football team came 

alive offensively in the 

fourth quarter to put away 

the South Houston Indians 

21-0. 

The Bears’ defense stood 

strong and pitched a shutout. 

David Eldridge put the 

Bears on the scoreboard 

with an 8-yard run behind 

the blocking of Kesean Coley, 

Alan Flores and Quinton 

Bolling. Joe Gonzalez 

ran in the extra point for a 

7-0 lead. 

The Beverly Hills offense 

then sputtered until 

the fourth quarter, while 

the defense came up big as 

Gonzalez intercepted two 

Indian passes to keep them 

from scoring. 

In the fourth quarter, 

Gonzalez found the end 

zone from 22 yards out on 

a big run. Tyler Alfred and 

Matthew McGowan provided 

the blocking on the play 

for a 14-0 lead. 

Late in the game, Gonzalez 

outran the Indians’ 

defense for a 73-yard touchdown. 

Kiandre Hicks, Alvin Toliver 

and Carlos Gonzalez 

had key blocks on the play. 

Joe Gonzalez then hooked 

up with Robert Andrade on 

the extra-point pass to make 

the final score 21-0. 

Bears 8B 22 


The eighth-grade B Battlin’ 

Bears Football team remained 

undefeated as they 

traveled to South Houston 

and beat the Indians 22-12. 

The Bears’ Chris Washington 

immediately impacted 

the game with a 40-yard 

kickoff return. 

Then, on his first carry, 

Washington took the ball 

35 yards for a touchdown. 

Rudulfo Jimenez added 

the extra point as the Bears 

went up 7-0. 

The offense again moved 

the ball well on its next 

drive with passes from 

quarterback Kerry Hubburd 

to tight end Austin Ingalls 

and receiver Darius Walker. 

Walker capped off the 

drive with a touchdown. 

Mistakes allowed South 

Houston to get back in the 

ball game, but the Bear defense 

held up with outstanding 

play by Isaiah Perez, 

Fabian Osorio, Deshaun 

Jones, and Jarvis Russel. 

Late in the action, Washington 

sealed the win with a 

20-yard touchdown run. 

Bears 7A 50 


The Beverly Hills seventh-grade 

A football team 

overwhelmed the South 

Houston Indians 50-0. 

Bennie Hamilton started 

the scoring on a 71-yard run 

behind the blocking of Roy 

Molina and Kevin Simms. 

Josue Villalta kicked the 

2-pointer for an 8-0 lead. 

Hamilton then added 

to the Bears’ lead as he returned 

a punt 38 yards for a 

14-0 lead. 

In the second quarter, 

Isaiah Myers hooked up 

with Terrance Lambert for 

a touchdown. On the extra 

point, Myers found Lambert 

all alone for a 21-0 lead. 

The Myers and Lambert 

connection was at it again 

on the Bears’ next possession 

for an 8-yard touchdown 

pass and a 27-0 lead. 

The Bears’ offense was 

not through, as Hamilton 

found the end zone once 

again on a 24-yard run.

there are no umpire fees. To register, call Aaron Longoria 

at 713-478-0078, or direct e-mail to him at guylongo

Softball Tournament will be held at the Kipper Mease 

Park Fields on Red Bluff in Pasadena on Saturday, Oct

and Dobie High School graduate, died suddenly on May 

12, 2006, at the age of 27, while attending her son’s

revealed an undiagnosed heart defect, referred to 

as mitral valve prolapse. Twitty was actively involved 

in youth baseball in the South Belt community and distinguished 

herself in the Sagemont-Beverly Hills Little 

League by becoming the first female elected to an allstar 

team. Proceeds from the softball tournament will

Volleyball teams planning playoff charges 


still includes a bumpy second 

half with matchups 

against as many as five other 

playoff contenders, but 

for now Clear Brook has 


district portion of the schedule, 

we went against some 

very good football teams. 

There was no time for fundamentals.” 

Phillips believes if the 

Longhorns take care of the 

little things against Pasadena, 

the outcome will be a 

good one. 

“It’s homecoming and 

everyone is going to be a 

Thompson football 

wins all five games 


Lions needed a big play and 

Chas Anderson gave just 

that on his 52 yard touchdown 

run at the beginning 

of the third quarter. 

Gage Myers ran in the extra 

point for a 7-0 lead. The 

Lions defense played tough, 

but Bondy managed to score 

a touchdown of its own. 

After the extra point 

kick hit the upright, the 

Lions held on for the 7-6 

win. Ashton Craven had 

the block of the game and 

the hit of the game. 

Ben Coronado, Robert 

Saenz, Socrates Guzman, 

Collyn Davis, Austin Morales, 

Keyaudre Conaway, 

and Ricky Vazquez all 

played well in the win. 

Thompson 7A 57 

Bondy 0 

In a brilliant show of 

strength and speed, the 

seventh-grade A Lions won 

their game over Bondy by a 

score of 57-0. 

The scoring started 

quickly for the Lions, with 

Kameron Dolford running 

in from 12 yards out. This 

score was set up by Chandler 

Tisby’s great kickoff 

return to start the game. 

The Lions’ defense struck 

next as Tyson Thompson 

scored on a 33-yard run 

seconds later after a fumble 

recovery. Thompson then 

kicked the 2-pointer. 

Thompson kept the pressure 

on as Jaylon Bolden 

scored on a 51-yard run 

down the sideline, and 

Thompson added another 

kick. 

Dolford recovered a 

loose ball on defense, and 

Bolden followed with a 

short scoring run from 4 

yards out. Thompson once 

again kicked the 2-pointer. 

Tisby got into the end 

zone from 51 yards away by 

running right up the middle. 

Bolden intercepted an errant 

Bondy pass and ran it back 

55 yards for another score. 

Malik Peters scored from 

58 yards away with a punt 

return, and the first quarter 

was finally over with the Lions 

leading 50-0. 

Jose Leal returned another 

interception 56 yards 

for the last touchdown, with 

Thompson running successfully 

for the extra point. 

The Lions emptied the 

bench in the second half, 

with the defense taking 

over. Jason Lester, Travorus 

Gilbert, Kaelon Woods and 

Andrew Harnish provided 

plenty of stopping power 

for the Lions. 

The offense was helped 

with play from Tyler Giron, 

Adan Solis, Orlando Logan, 

Deandre Childs and Miguel

“I’m sure Pasadena is

have a chance to start with a

“We need to take care

Lions 7B 41 

Bondy 7 

In the first zone game 

of the season, Thompson’s 

seventh-grade B team put 

together a team effort to 

blast Bondy 41-7. 

The Lions didn’t waste 

time getting to work as they 

scored three touchdowns 

in the first half, then three 

more in the second half. 

Oliver Francisco, Verek 

Leonard, Jeremiah Franklin, 

A.J. Owens, Reeno Green, 

Ty Williams, and Raekwon 

Harvey all got into the end 

zone for the Lions in the 

convincing victory. 

Luis Adame had a great 

catch on offense, then a 

great catch on an interception 

on defense. Playing 

well on defense were Darius 

Hyppolite, Isaiah Brooks, 

Nick Alvarez, David Garcia, 

Joseph Ramirez, Desmond 

Scott, and D’Mychael 

Shadowens. 

Lions 7C 7 

Friendswood 6 

The Lions’ seventh-grade 

C team drew its record to 

an even 1-1-1 with a win 

over previously undefeated 

Friendswood in a tight 7-6 

game. 

Thompson ran the ball 

all over the Mustangs, outgaining 

them 260 yards to 

64. 

But the Mustangs were 

able to capitalize on Lion 

mistakes to hold the score 

even. 

After playing to a 0-0 tie 

in the first half, the Lions 

mounted a drive behind the 

running of Martin Trevino 

and Darian Thorn to get the 

ball into scoring position in 

the third quarter. 

Trevino scored, and 

Myles Harris ran for the extra 

point. 

The defense had to hold 

the Mustangs in check with 

time running out but gave 

up a touchdown with less 

than two minutes remaining. 

The Mustangs went for 

the win with a 2-point kick 

attempt, but it sailed wide, 

and the Lions held on for a 

7-6 win. 

Playing outstanding defense 

for the Lions were 

Dimitri Brooks, Daniel 

Rincon, Daniel Gonzalez, 

Kevin Pham and Ryan 

Ehlinger. 

The “Hit of the Game” 

came from Julio Vitales as 

he came up with the hardest 

hit on an opposing player. 

The Lions’ offensive unit 

was helped out with good 

play from Dyllon Smith, 

Josh Dishong, Jeremiah 

Guajardo and Daniel Hernandez.

Oct. 8 at first-place Deer 

C.J. McElroy had three 

short touchdown runs in 

the first half as Clear Creek 

built a 24-13 halftime lead 

against Clear Brook on 

the way to a 38-23 victory 

Oct. 1 at Veteran’s Memorial 

Stadium in League 

City. 

Celebrating homecoming, 

the Wildcats scored 

on their first and last drives 

of the first quarter, both 

ending in 1-yard McElroy 

runs, to take a 14-0 lead. 

But the Wolverines, 

looking to stay unbeaten 

early in the 24-5A race, 

would not give in. 

Clear Brook quarterback 

Matt Heidt got his 

team within 14-7 with a 

4-yard run with just over

second quarter, but back 

came the Wildcats.

The Lady Longhorns 

suffered a tough loss at Sam 

Rayburn Oct. 1 after leading 

two games to one. 

In the end, the Lady Texans 

pulled off the win with a 

21-25, 25-22, 19-25, 25-19, 

15-11 comeback. 

Most years, Sam Rayburn’s 

victory would have 

been considered a major 

upset, but with senior hitter 

Katherine Finney (18 kills) 

leading a roster filled with 

first-time varsity performers, 

the Lady Longhorns 

have had to gain experience 

on the fly. 

McElroy, found the end 

zone again on a 3-yard run 

midway through the second 

quarter. 

Heidt, doing his best to 

match McElroy, burst 41 

yards for a touchdown in 

the see-saw game, but the 

Wolverines misfired on the 

conversion, and Clear Creek 

eventually led 24-13 at halftime. 

After a scoreless third 

quarter, the Wolverines got 

a 23-yard field goal from 

Aaron Yelovich on the first 

play of the fourth quarter 

to get within 24-16, but the 

Wildcats kept coming. 

McElroy’s fourth rushing 

touchdown of the game, 

this one a 38-yard bust, put 

the Wildcats up 31-16. 

Ethan Lierman recovered 

a fumble and scrambled nine 

yards for a touchdown with 

five minutes to play as Clear

Stingrays juniors 19 

Rams 13 

After a close battle all 

the way, the Rams’ junior 

team fell just a bit short in a 

19-13 loss to Texas City. 

The loss dropped the 

Rams to 4-3 in the division, 

but the team is still well in 

With Finney getting 20 

kills, the Lady Longhorns 

squared their record at 2-2 

with a 25-20, 25-10, 15-25, 

25-19 victory Oct. 5 at Dobie, 

but the team’s inability 

to close out matches showed 

again as South Houston extended 

things to a fourth 

game. 

Deer Park is on the 

schedule next, and a 22-5A 

rematch with Pasadena Oct. 

12 comes thereafter. The 

Lady Longhorns could use 

a bit of an upset of their own 

on the road. It surely would 

make the team’s playoff 

push a bit easier. 

McElroy, Clear Creek football 

takes down Clear Brook 38-23 

hang on for a huge victory 

as both teams moved to 1-1 

in the District 24-5A field. 

Clear Brook matched 

the Wildcats in each statistical 

category but one. The 

Wolverines gained 345 total 

yards to 351 for Clear 

Creek. Both teams earned 

19 first downs. 

But the Wolverines surrendered 

the game in the 

turnover department, losing 

three of four fumbles 

while Clear Creek did not 

fumble. 

Next up for the Wolverines 

is a Friday, Oct. 8, 

matchup against defending 

District 24-5A champion 

Clear Springs. 

The Chargers, who advanced 

to the state quarterfinals

Ellington’s sophomore 

team got back in the winning 

column by throttling 

the Texas City Stingrays 

40-13. 

Five different players 

scored touchdowns as the 

Rams picked up their fifth 

win against just two losses. 

Mark Milton quickly put 

the Rams on the scoreboard 

as he dashed 45 yards for 

a score in the first quarter. 

Zion Walker ran for the extra 

point. Later in the quarter, 

Devin Childs scored the 

first of his two touchdowns 

on an 18-yard gallop as the 

Rams led 13-6 after one 

quarter. 

The Rams used the passing 

game to lengthen their 

lead in the second quarter. 

DeJuan Dixson fired a 12- 

yard touchdown pass to 

Dimitri Giannapoulos as the 

score was 20-13 in favor of 

the Rams at halftime. Milton 

then ran for the conversion 

From there, the Rams 

took over the game. Walker’s 

12-yard touchdown 

dash started things in the 

third quarter. Trai Scott 

scored the conversion run. 

Later in the third quarter, 

Childs burst 11 yards for 

a touchdown, and Walker 

scored the conversion point 

with a nifty run. 

Scott wrapped up the 

scoring with a 6-yard dash 

in the fourth quarter. Julian 

Castaneda also excelled on 

the offensive side of the 

football. 

The Rams’ defense was 

led by the strong play of 

Dixson, Anthony Gracia, 

J.J. Johnson, Josh Sordia 

and Scott.

teamed with partner Shannon Veal for a win. 

At 4-0, JFD netters eye Deer Park test 


In high school tennis 

circles, it has often been 

discussed that District 22- 

5A is not one of the better 

leagues for competition. 

Both Deer Park and Dobie 

possess histories of success 

at the regional level, 

and Memorial has advanced 

a time or two in its short 

history. 

Beyond that, Pasadena, 

South Houston and Sam 

Rayburn do not have legacies 

of power. 

That point being made, 

Dobie is making no apologies 

for its 4-0 start this season, 

which has included just 

two total match losses in 

wins over South Houston, 

Pasadena and Sam Rayburn. 

With a 10-9 win over 

Memorial and subsequent 

18-1 beating of South 

Houston, Dobie has given 

itself a chance at winning 

the 22-5A regular season 

title, which this year also 

brings an automatic Region 

III tournament berth. 

At worst, Dobie will finish 

second and will therefore 

play two home matches 

in the 22-5A postseason 

tournament, which begins 

Oct. 19 and concludes Oct. 

22-23. 

The Longhorns’ run has 

come in spite of the fact that 

Moreno’s roster featured little 

varsity experience when 

the season began. 

“I really think we have 

benefited from playing 20 

matches to this point in the 

season,” Moreno said. 

“That’s a lot of matches 

to play in two months, but 

I thought coming into the 

season that we would benefit 

best from match experience. 

So far, we are 10-9-1 

and have gained confidence 

with each match we have

have won, but district play 

is most important and we 

are undefeated.” 

Heading into the 22-5A 

regular season finale against 

Deer Park, Moreno isn’t 

sure what to expect. 

Using Memorial as a 

measuring stick, Moreno 

knows his team scored a 

narrow 10-9 victory, but 

Deer Park’s margin over 

Memorial was just 11-8. 

Throw in the fact that 

no pass, no play takes effect 

Oct. 8 at 2:30 p.m., and 

Moreno is even more cautious. 

“It’s going to be close 

with Deer Park,” Moreno 

said. “You really can’t go 

by results on paper. Taking 

in account possible injuries 

and grades, and you don’t 

know what to expect by 

Tuesday (Oct. 12). 

“I’ve said all along that 

we were going to have to 

win a lot of matches 10-9. 

Getting that 10th win is the 

key. We were able to get that 

against Memorial, and we’ll 

have to figure out a way to 

get that against Deer Park.” 

Historically, Dobie has 

succeeded by jumping to 

a lead after the doubles, 

and then working to secure 

crucial singles victories 

thereafter. It doesn’t matter 

which combinations of 

players win, as long as it 

gets done. 

“Getting ahead after the 

doubles is a must for us 

just about every time out,” 

Moreno said. 

“Our kids are confident. 

You can see that they expect 

to win every time out.”
