games, the Longhorns are<br />
coming off a bye week. With<br />
the exception of one or <strong>two</strong><br />
players, everyone has had a<br />
chance to heal up a bit and<br />
recharge the batteries.<br />
The final five weeks<br />
of the regular season will<br />
come one at a time, but the<br />
goal will be the same.<br />
Dobie will meet Pasadena<br />
Oct. 8 at Newcomb<br />
Field to kick off the District<br />
22-5A schedule for both<br />
teams.<br />
Dry cleaned suits, freshly<br />
pressed shirts, recently<br />
JFD tennis still unbeaten in 22-5A race<br />
Dobie’s action plan en<br />
route to reaching the Region<br />
III varsity team tennis tournament<br />
is working out just<br />
fine for now, but now the<br />
team may have its toughest<br />
challenge ahead.<br />
After beating the <strong>South</strong><br />
Houston Trojans 18-1 Oct.<br />
5 at Dobie, the Longhorns<br />
stayed unbeaten at 4-0 in<br />
District 22-5A action. Now<br />
comes the capper.<br />
The Longhorns are set to<br />
take on Deer Park, also 4-0,<br />
on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 3:30<br />
p.m. Both teams are in great<br />
position for the postseason<br />
22-5A tournament, but there<br />
is still so much at stake.<br />
The Dobie-Deer Park<br />
winner will not only gain a<br />
bye all the way to the 22-5A<br />
tournament championship<br />
round but will also earn a<br />
Region III tournament seeding.<br />
“This is what we have<br />
been playing and planning<br />
for,” Dobie head coach<br />
Manuel Moreno Jr. said.<br />
“Beating Deer Park is<br />
not a do-or-die situation in<br />
terms of the postseason, but<br />
it would be a big accomplishment.<br />
I’m just proud<br />
of our kids for getting to<br />
this position and having this<br />
chance. Having said that,<br />
we want to beat Deer Park.”<br />
The Longhorns and Deer<br />
have thus far dominated 22-<br />
5A play.<br />

Cowboys sweep<br />
Sharks in rout<br />
at EFL Park<br />
Each of the Sagemont<br />
Cowboys teams remained<br />
in serious playoff<br />
contention after a<br />
sweep over the Magnolia<br />
Park Sharks Oct. 2<br />
at El Franco Lee Park.<br />
The Cowboys’ senior<br />
division team began the<br />
day <strong>with</strong> a rousing 32-0<br />
victory over the Magnolia<br />
Park Sharks. Along<br />
the way, the winners<br />
got great defensive play<br />
from everyone, including<br />
Shamaud Smith-<br />
Kizzie (making tackle at<br />
right). Smith-Kizzie also<br />
scored a touchdown in<br />
the game as the Cowboys<br />
improved to 6-1 <strong>with</strong> the<br />
victory. Sagemont’s other<br />
three teams also won<br />
big games in the series,<br />
leaving each well <strong>with</strong>in<br />
the mix for the postseason.<br />

Lady Longhorn Shannon Veal is just one of the many players who have contributed<br />
to the team’s 4-0 start in varsity team tennis action. As Dobie downed <strong>South</strong><br />
Houston Oct. 5 at Dobie, Veal scored both a win in girls’ doubles <strong>with</strong> partner Chloe<br />
Escobar and then captured a No. 6 girls’ singles victory. Photo by John Bechtle<br />
Dobie VB bounces back, CB goes to 5-3<br />
Thanks to a three-match<br />
winning streak, Clear<br />
Brook’s varsity volleyball<br />
bought evening dresses and<br />
mums are beautiful and<br />
all, but all Phillips and the<br />
Longhorns want for homecoming<br />
is a victory.<br />
“I’ve explained to the<br />
players that basically homecoming<br />
is for everybody<br />
else to enjoy,” Phillips said.<br />
“Our job is to go out and<br />
win a football game, and<br />
right now that is all we are<br />
focused on.”<br />
Dobie should enter the<br />
game <strong>with</strong> plenty of confidence.<br />
The team has a winning<br />
record at 3-2 entering<br />
team has vastly improved<br />
its standing in the District<br />
24-5A ranks after a slow<br />
The Clear Brook varsity<br />
volleyball team, including,<br />
from left, Kendra<br />
Turley, Crystal Young<br />
and Caiti O’Connell,<br />
has jumped back into<br />
the chase for the 24-5A<br />
title <strong>with</strong> three straight<br />
wins.<br />
play, and a defense that<br />
offered little more than a<br />
handful of question marks<br />
has played exceptionally<br />
well. Phillips is excited<br />
about beginning district action.<br />
“In the game of football,<br />
anything can happen,” Phillips<br />
said. “We have seen<br />
what Pasadena is capable<br />
of doing from an offensive<br />
standpoint, but our defense<br />
has really come on and<br />
played well.<br />
“Coach (Carey) Sink and<br />
the staff have done a great<br />
start, while at Dobie the<br />
Lady Longhorns are holding<br />
steady at 2-2 after a split<br />
of <strong>two</strong> matches.<br />
CB tied for third place<br />
Sitting at 2-3 after a loss<br />
to Clear Lake in the first half<br />
of district play, the Lady<br />
Wolverines were in need of<br />
a big turnaround.<br />
So far, so good. Clear<br />
Brook has suddenly reeled<br />
off three straight wins to<br />
get to 5-3, which counts for<br />
a third-place tie <strong>with</strong> Pearland.<br />
The Lady Wolverines<br />
began their run by sweeping<br />
past Pearland and then<br />
closed out the first half of<br />
district play <strong>with</strong> a marathon<br />
win at Dickinson.<br />
Alicia Dittrich, a fouryear<br />
member of the varsity<br />
team, stepped up at the<br />
right time as she slammed a<br />
match-high 24 kills in a 25-<br />
18, 23-25, 25-17, 20-25, 20-<br />
18 victory over Dickinson.<br />
The senior middle blocker<br />
came back <strong>with</strong> 17 more<br />
as the Lady Wolverines easily<br />
swept Alvin 25-12, 25-<br />

job of getting players in the<br />
right spots, and the players<br />
have responded <strong>with</strong> a great<br />
effort. I’m very pleased<br />
<strong>with</strong> that aspect of our football<br />
team.”<br />
If the Longhorns are<br />
able to effectively slow the<br />
Eagles’ option attack, the<br />
home team should be looking<br />
fairly good.<br />
Although running backs<br />
Andrew Robinson and Davion<br />
Hurst have nursed injuries<br />
over the past couple of<br />
weeks, Demarcus Boyd has<br />
been consistently spectacular.<br />
Quarterback Blake Jackson<br />
has improved steadily<br />
as a combo passing/running<br />
quarterback, and the receivers<br />
have played well above<br />
expectations.<br />
“We spent the bye week<br />
getting back to the fundamentals,”<br />
Phillips said.<br />
“You can work on those<br />
things prior to the season,<br />
but then you have to go out<br />
and play games. In our non-<br />
