Almeda Mall will hold a celebration Saturday,
Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m to mark the openings of Macy’s and Burlington Coat Factory.
Macy’s roof received extensive damage during Hurricane Ike, destroying much of the store
and its contents.
Construction crews have worked for approximately a year to do a complete renovation on the
anchor store, located where Foley’s once stood.
Unlike the previous incarnation of the store,
the remodeled Macy’s will have only one floor,
according to Almeda Mall General Manager Terry Felton.
Contrary to a report in last week’s Leader, the
Burlington Coat Factory has already opened for
business.
Located in the space that formerly housed JCPenney, the store will occupy 78,770 square feet.
Founded in 1972, the company’s first store, located in Burlington, N.J., sold coats exclusively,
hence its moniker.
Now with 414 stores in 44 states, the company
has expanded its inventory to include men’s and
Deputies from the Harris County Precinct 2
Constable’s office have remained vigilant, making arrests for crimes ranging from open warrants to drug possession.
Deputy Lance Willis was patrolling the 11600
block of Highland Meadow Monday, Sept. 21, at

termined to have two outstanding Harris County
warrants and was subsequently arrested.
The following day, Willis was patrolling the
10800 block of Sagegreen at roughly 10:30 a.m.
when he spotted a male suspect, Darrell Moore,
smoking what appeared to be a marijuana cigar.
Upon searching Moore, the deputy found 0.28
grams of the prescription drug Xanax.
Moore, 19, was arrested and charged with
possession of a controlled substance.
Deputy Parnelli Jones responded to a call
Tuesday, Sept. 22, in the 12400 block of Scarsdale, where an alarm had been set off at a closed
restaurant. The business had a smashed window,
but had not been burglarized. No immediate arrests were made.
Deputy Robert Sanchez was patrolling the
10700 block of Cayman Mist Thursday, Sept. 17,

LED streetlight pilot program
instituted in Bridgegate area
By Matt Griesmyer
Light emitting diodes, or LEDs as the industry
terms them, are being implemented all around
the city as traffic signals.
Now, the city of Houston, in cooperation
with CenterPoint Energy, is implementing a
pilot program in the Bridgegate subdivision in
hopes that it will reduce energy consumption
and carbon footprint and improve lighting for
all vehicular and pedestrian traffic and safety,
according to a flier released by the city.
The average street light that is in the neighborhood is a sodium vapor light or a high intensity discharge lamp.
The new plan is to use new energy-efficient
LED lights to illuminate the neighborhood.
LEDs have already been placed in various locations throughout Houston in the form of traffic
signals.
“This is an emerging technology, and there
are a number of vendors in the marketplace,
and CenterPoint wanted to open (the pilot
program) up to a number of them and evaluate their performance,” said Alicia Dixon, media
contact for CenterPoint Energy.
The program already has been initiated as
of August 2009 and will be in place until Jan.
2010. Various tests will be performed on the
traffic lights to see if they would work well for
the city.
During the six-month period of the pilot
program, CenterPoint will perform technical
evaluations of the street lamps. After this period, actual physical inspection of the lights
themselves will be performed to see how they
handle weather conditions as well as other
variables.
Should the studies on the lights prove in favor of the LED program, new street lamps could
be instituted on a permanent basis throughout
Houston.
This pilot program could have been costly to
Houston taxpayers, but it is coming with a very
special price point: nothing.
“There is no cost for the material (lights)
because the vendors have all provided them
to us to evaluate during the pilot program,”
Dixon said. “The lights will then be returned to
the vendors at the end of the pilot program ...
There are labor costs for CenterPoint as far as
removing the old lights and installing the new
ones; however, these are considered normal
operating costs.”
The city of Houston and CenterPoint Energy
are looking for feedback in relation to the LED
street light pilot program. To comment or for
more information on the LED street light pilot
program, visit www.houstontx.gov/ledpilot.html.

juvenile for a routine traffic violation. A check
on the vehicle’s plates determined it had been reported stolen the previous day.
The juvenile was arrested and charged with
unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Deputy Aaron Baldwin was patrolling the
10800 block of Hughes Thursday, Sept. 17,
at 8:45 p.m. when he noticed a vehicle pulling
behind a business that was closed for the day.
When Baldwin made contact with the driver, Si
Nguyen, he noticed a strong smell of marijuana.
A search of the vehicle confirmed the deputy’s
suspicions, as he discovered 4.37 ounces of marijuana. Baldwin also found an illegal “butterfly”
knife that belonged to the vehicle’s passenger,
Trung Nguyen.
Si Nguyen, 18, was arrested for possession of
marijuana. Trung Nguyen, 18, was arrested for
possession of an illegal knife.
Public assistance sought
The constable’s office is seeking the public’s
assistance in identifying two male suspects who

Many other stores in the mall will join the celebration by having sales.
In addition to shopping, the event will include
face painting, magic shows, spin art and balloon
art.
Customers will have a chance to win up to a
$10,000 shopping spree and living room furniture courtesy of Exclusive Furniture.

Several concerned residents called the Leader Wednesday afternoon to inquire about a heavy
police presence at Beverly Hills Intermediate. According to Pasadena Independent School
District Superintendent Kirk Lewis, there was a verbal altercation between two parents. One
of the parents had a pocket knife; however, no one was injured. Contrary to televised news
reports, no stabbing occurred, and no arrests were made.

National Night Out set for Oct. 6
National Night Out 2009 will take place Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Founded in 1983 by Matt Peskin of National
Association of Town Watch in Wynnewood, Pa.,
the event is aimed at preventing crime by encouraging neighbors to communicate with each other,
as well as with local law enforcement officers.
Last year’s campaign involved citizens, law
enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses,
neighborhood organizations and local officials
from 15,000 communities. In all, more than 35
million people participated in NNO 2008.
As posted on the NNO Web site, the event
is designed to “heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and
participation in, local anti-crime programs;
strengthen neighborhood spirit and policecommunity partnerships; and send a message
to criminals letting them know neighborhoods
are organized and fighting back.”
Along with the traditional display of porch
lights and front porch vigils, NNO will be celebrated by neighborhoods and communities
with a variety of events and activities such as
block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight
walks, contests, youth programs and visits from
local police.
Now in its 25th year, the annual event usually takes place in August. Organizers have since
changed the NNO’s Texas date to give residents
an opportunity to enjoy cooler weather.

two men reportedly forced their way into a game
room in the 12400 block of Scarsdale at roughly
8:30 p.m. wielding guns. One of the suspects had
a shotgun, while the other had a handgun. The
two men proceeded to rob both the business and
its patrons.

Crowley dies in head-on crash
South Belt resident Michael Raymond Crowley Jr. was one of two men killed Sunday, Sept.
17, in a head-on collision on Highway 288 between Angleton and Rosharon.
Crowley, 19, was returning home from Lake
Jackson at roughly 2 a.m. when the vehicle he
was driving was struck by a driver traveling
south in the northbound lane of Highway 288.
The passenger of the second vehicle, Pearland
resident James Paul Garcia Jr., 21, also died in
the crash.
The driver of the second vehicle, Pearland resident Zoheb Burges, 23, was taken by helicopter
to Memorial Hermann Medical Center, where he
remained in critical condition at press time.
No charges have yet been filed. Crowley recently moved to Sagemont from Fayette, Mo.,
and was a student at San Jac College South.
Fire station groundbreaking set
The official groundbreaking ceremony for the
new Southeast Volunteer Fire Department station

Readers’ Opinions
Reams urges area
Patriots to rise up
I was honored to join a million or so
of my closest friends – true American
patriots – in the march on Washington
on Sept. 12. The estimate of attendees
range from 60,000 to 2 million. I’d bet on
the latter. From my locations throughout
the day all I could see was wall-to-wall
humanity; Patriots elbow-to-elbow carrying Old Glory and every imaginable sign
to show their disgust of this administration and congress.
We formed at Freedom Square, appropriately named, just south of the
White House, early Saturday morning for
speeches and pep talks. We left there at
10 AM for the hour march to the Capital
building. It took hours for all attendees
to make their way to the capital. They arrived in droves to be part of history and
hopefully the beginning of the restoration of our republic. We were from every
state, all age groups, and every race. We
were peaceful, respectful, courteous, and
clean. No trash dump like the last bunch
who were there January 20th. We were
also angry, frustrated, and determined
to get the attention of all politicians to
change their ways. The event at the capital lasted until 4 PM.
The roads in DC were at gridlock. Metro was overwhelmed, standing room only.
Standing on the lower capital steps, looking back towards the Washington Monument, the Mall was a sea of patriots and
San Jac selects Jones
to oversee construction
San Jacinto College recently selected Bryan Jones
to the position of associate
vice chancellor of facilities
and construction.
Jones assumes his new
role at an important juncture,
as the college recently entered
the early stages of the largest
new construction and renovation campaign in its history.
Jones formerly worked as
assistant director of facility
systems for Texas Children’s
Hospital where he was involved with an ongoing $1.5
billion dollar expansion construction project. In addition,
he has managed numerous
multimillion dollar construction projects.
Ken Lynn, the college’s
vice chancellor of fiscal
affairs, says Jones is ideally
suited for the job.
“We are very excited to
have Bryan join the San Jac
team,” Lynn commented. “He
is an energetic, progressive
leader interested in making a
difference for staff, students
and the community. His coworkers at Texas Children’s
Hospital used such terms as
‘honest, responsive, dependable, thorough, professional,
good communicator, innovative, and results-oriented’ to
describe Bryan.”
Jones was selected from a
pool of 87 applicants and was
one of five semifinalists from
across the United States. He
has 22 years of professional
experience, 17 years in the
petrochemical industry working on the areas of facilities
maintenance and project
management.
In the coming years, Jones
will oversee multiple construction projects funded by a
$295 million bond election
that San Jacinto College
District taxpayers approved
by a wide margin in May
2008. The construction program includes new or expanded science and allied health
facilities on the district’s
three campuses, renovations
for all three campus libraries,
and other upgrades.
Jones grew up in Granbury,
located near Fort Worth. He
earned a bachelor’s degree in
mechanical engineering in
1987 from Texas A&M University. He lives in Pearland
and has three daughters –
Caroline, 16, Kathryn, 16,
and Allison, 12.
Jones says he was attracted to San Jac because of the
institution’s lengthy tradition
of excellence.
“Having lived near the
South campus for over 20
years, I knew the college’s
solid, reputable presence in
the
community,”
he
remarked.
Another factor that drew
him was experiences he
shared with a relative.
“My uncle, Edwin R.
Jones, helped develop one of
the nation’s first community
college-based automotive
technology degree programs
at Tarrant County College,”
Jones said. “He would always
talk about the progress of his
program and students when
we met at my grandparents’
home. Those memories
served to really make me
closely examine the opportunity here at San Jacinto
College.”
Jones says he has some
“big shoes to fill,” assuming
his position following Dr.
Ron Rucker, the college’s
vice chancellor of administration who recently retired
after serving the college district for 44 years.
“Dr. Rucker’s 44 years of
blood, sweat and tears building much of what is San
Jacinto College, is very evident,” Jones commented. “In
a short time, I have become
acutely aware of Dr. Rucker’s
legacy of hard work and
vision.
“Knowing this, it is both
humbling and inspiring that I
would be selected to carry on
the fine work Dr. Rucker has
provided for so many years.”

Larry Reams
Simons: Need school
zone signs
I wanted to let you know that I think
there is a potential investigative story for
your newspaper relating to the school
zone signage on Riverstone Ranch road,
the road leading to the new South Belt
Elementary School, of the Pasadena
Independent School District.
My daughter attends the newly opened
school and I drive her every morning. My
husband and I have both looked on several occasions while driving down
Riverstone Ranch road and there are
NOT appropriate school zone signs in
place even though the school has been
open for approximately 3 weeks now.
While driving that route, you will notice
that there is a sign that states that the
school zone has “ended” even though
there is not a posted sign indicating that
a school zone has ever even begun.
After leaving the school and heading
back towards Blackhawk road, there is a
school zone with signage and a crossing
guard at the intersection that leads to
Moore Elementary and Dobie High
School. Additionally, there are NO signs
stating the new law regarding cell phone
use near South Belt Elementary school
at all..
I am concerned for the safety of the
children that attend the 3 schools mentioned above. My husband and I related
our concerns to South Belt Elementary
school’s assistant principal and he told
us that there are appropriate signs in
place, but I assure you that as of today....
there are NOT appropriate signs in
place.
Thank you for you assistance in this
matter. We enjoy reading your newspaper very much and find it very informative.
Jacquelyn and Russell Simons
State Sen. Mike Jackson
and state Rep. Ken Legler
celebrated the opening of
their shared district office in
Pasadena recently. Among
the guests on hand to host
ribbon-cutting ceremonies
were representatives from the
South Belt-Ellington, Pasadena, and Deer Park chambers of commerce.
“I was really pleased with
the crowd that showed up
from the whole area,” said
Sally Mitchell, executive
director of the South BeltEllington Chamber of Commerce. “Both staffs are
always so accessible, it’s
great to have them together in
the same office.”
The office, at 1109 Fairmont Parkway in Pasadena,
provides convenient access
for constituents of Senate
District 11 and House District
144. Sharing office space,
and some office equipment,
is also a responsible use of
taxpayer dollars.
“I am very thankful for the
overwhelming support shown
at the grand opening,” said
Legler. “Having the opportunity to provide a ‘one-stop
shop’ for the people of House
District 144 is very exciting.
This is a great opportunity
for all of the constituents of
the district to be able to take
advantage of the resources
both our offices have to
offer.” “I appreciate the great
turnout for the opening of
this office,” said Jackson. “I
am proud to have represented
this community for the last
20 years and to now share
this space with Representative
Legler.”
Jackson also recently
opened a shared district office
with Rep. Randy Weber in
Pearland.
HPD issues parking citations
in South Belt neighborhoods
By Matt Griesmyer
South Belt residents should
be aware while parking in
residential areas.
The Houston Police Department has been ticketing
drivers who commit parking
violations inside neighborhoods within city limits.
Recently, South Belt residents experienced several
citations from HPD in regard
to their parking locations.
These citations can be dismissed only if officers issue
parking tickets outside of
their jurisdiction. Dismissal
of tickets, while a feasible
option for some, can not always be done because the
city limit meanders through
the South Belt area neighborhoods.
One recent citation that
was issued was to Jane Van
Arsdol, resident of Sageglen,
under the violation code PK13, blocking the sidewalk.
“Our driveways aren’t
that long,” Van Arsdol said.
“Where are we supposed to
park? No matter how we park
our cars, one will always be
blocking the sidewalk. I
haven’t been ticketed in my
own neighborhood in the 18
years that I have lived here.”
If a ticket is given outside
of city limits by HPD, it can
be dismissed. The ticket must
be paid, however, if it was
given within city limits.
What parking violations
can be cause for citation by
law enforcement personnel?
The city of Houston can
issue parking citations for the
following reasons:
Blocking a sidewalk
Right wheel parked more
than 18 inches from the curb
Parking on an esplanade,
median or traffic island
Parking on a bridge
Parking within 50 feet of a
railroad crossing
fire hydrant
traffic control device
Double parking
Parking on a public street
for more than 24 hours
Marked commercial vehicles parked between the
hours of 2 a.m. and 6 p.m. on
the roadway
Large vehicles parked in
residential districts
Parked obstructing the
street
Parked blocking a driveway
“The laws are there to
protect people and to make
sure that we promote safety,”
said Liliana Rambo, director
of parking management division under the general services department for the city
of Houston. “Whether it’s in
neighborhoods or commercial areas, that’s what they
are there for.”
As far as violations given
outside of city limits, Sgt.
Zerick Guinn of Constable
Gary Freeman’s office, Precinct 2, takes a similar but
different approach.
“I know a lot of those city
of Houston guys go out and
issue citations, but we try
to be more of a communityoriented law enforcement
agency,” Guinn said. “When
we get complaints, they are
usually coming from a resident that is affected by the
offense. We normally physically go out to the address,
knock on the door and leave
them a note, message or
speak to (the offender) in
person. If we try that several times and the person has
been unresponsive to what
we tried to do, then we will

some of the sites the artist
draws inspiration from to
convey the ancient heritage
of what is now known as
Arizona and New Mexico.
A professional artist of
more than 30 years, Peña also
spends his time teaching art
with Alexander High School’s
Studio Art League program

have been honored by the

Jr. Journey of Excellence
Award in 2002, an award that

Dobie Band Section of the Week
Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital launched a new,
fast-paced program aimed at
decreasing Emergency Center
wait times. Called excelERate, the program incorporates
a unique way of treating
Emergency Center patients
by focusing on efficiency and
teamwork.
First piloted in May 2008
at Memorial Hermann Memorial City, excelERate reduces the amount of time needed
for a patient to be seen and
cared for by having caregivers work side-by-side to provide patient care. It operates
in contrast to the typical
model of emergency care, in
which many steps are completed one at a time by different people, contributing to
long wait periods.
With excelERate, medical
procedures are conducted
simultaneously. In fact, certain lab tests can be performed right in the Emergency
Center so caregivers receive
access to the results sooner.
Examples include urinalysis,
pregnancy tests and more.
Since the program’s inception at Memorial Hermann
SE, abandonment rates, or
the number of patients who
leave without being seen by
an Emergency Center physician, have dropped from 15
percent to under 2 percent.
Additionally, patient satisfaction scores have soared,
jumping from the bottom 10
percent in the nation to the
84th percentile.
“We have decreased our
abandonment rate, and the
rate continues to drop,” said
Laura Rodriguez, director of
critical care and emergency
services at Memorial Hermann SE “This means we’re
seeing more patients in a
shorter time frame. Patients
are waiting less, and more
patients are getting the treatment they need.”

CCISD seeks input
to name new schools
In the Clear Creek Independent School District,
naming a school is a community effort.
The district is asking the
public for its help in naming
two schools.
A new intermediate school
and a new high school will
open in August 2010. Both
schools are located in the
Education Village off Highway 96 near Highway 146.
The CCISD Board of
Trustees will convene two
separate committees to review
nominations for each of the
two new campuses.
Naming guidelines according to CCISD policy are as
follows:
• Intermediate schools
shall be named for geographical areas.
• The tradition of naming
high schools for an appropriate body of water preceded
by “Clear” shall continue.
Lebron, Garza to marry TEA issues Walk Across Texas!
fitness challenge, goal of 830 miles
High school initials shall not
be repeated (CBHS, CLHS,
CSHS, CCHS).
Recommendations for
names and reasons supporting the suggestion should be
mailed to the CCISD Office
of Public Information, 2425
East Main Street, League
City, Texas, 77573, no later
than Oct. 16, 2009.
Nomination forms are located on the CCISD Web site
at www.ccisd.net and available at the CCISD Education
Support Center at 2425 East
Main Street.
Members of the public interested in serving on one of
the two naming committees
should submit an application,
which is also located on the
district Web site, no later than
Oct. 16, 2009.
For more information,
contact the CCISD Office of
Public Information at 281284-0020.
The Texas Education
Agency will partner with the
Texas AgriLife Extension
Service and the Cooper
Institute to launch the Walk
Across Texas! challenge. The
purpose of the challenge is to
help motivate school employees, students and their families
to exercise on a regular basis.
The announcement of the
statewide Walk Across Texas!
challenge is in conjunction
with Texas Obesity Awareness
Week.

recent study of 2.6 million
Texas students found that
physically fit students do better in school, have higher
levels of school attendance,
and are less likely to have
disciplinary referrals.
Based on those findings, it
seems incredibly appropriate
to launch a physical fitness
challenge to encourage more
students to become fit.”

The Clear Creek Independent School District made
Texas history in August with
the opening of the Sandra
Mossman Elementary School.
The school marks the
completion of phase one of
the Education Village in
League City.
This K-12 complex has
been ranked among the top 10
construction projects in Texas
and is the only one of its kind
in the state.
Sandra Mossman Elementary opened this fall, with the
intermediate and high school
to follow in 2010. The new
high school will relieve overcrowding at Clear Lake High
School.
Education Village will
include:
• State-of-the-art biotechnology lab that can be utilized in engineering, health
science and agricultural science programs.
• Information technology
lab leading to certifications in
A+ and Net+
dren’s physical health.
“I challenge every classroom, every school district
employee and every TEA
staff member to form a walking team and support our
mission to improve student
health,” said Scott.
Students, classrooms or
school employees form teams
of eight participants who will
walk and log their miles over
an eight-week period.
Team members may walk
alone or together to meet
their 830 mile challenge.
Students can increase their
classroom mileage with
bonus miles – time spent on
their own exercising or miles
earned by their parents.
Teams accumulating the
most mileage will be recognized by the Texas AgriLife
Extension Service and TEA.
All miles should be logged
by Nov. 15.

Team Gabby rolls on; comebacks keep Dobie atop 22-5A
Romero, are showing the
fight of a champion.
Coming back from two
games down against La
Porte Sept. 25 at Dobie,
the team came away with a
thrilling 25-27, 24-26, 2522, 25-19, 15-10 over the
Bulldogs.
In the fifth game, Dobie
went up 8-0 before allowing
La Porte to climb back into
Having dedicated their
season to teammate and
friend Gabby Romero, the
Dobie High School varsity
volleyball team is creating plenty of inspiring moments.
As Romero, a Dobie
High School student, continues her fight against
renal cell cancer at home,
the Lady Longhorns, like
the match. But the Lady
Longhorns showed enough
resiliency to win.
“We didn’t play well early, but the thing I am most
proud about with this team
is that they don’t quit,” Dobie head coach Joe Sabatell
said.
“We have great leadership, and our players rally
around those leaders. Our
rotation has only seven
players, but it’s a great combination that works.”
The win, coming on the
heels of a four-game victory
over Deer Park Sept. 18,
keeps Dobie tied for first
place in District 22-5A at
4-0.
Wearing pink hair ribbons to go with pink shoe
laces and pink arm bands to
signify their membership in
Team Gabby, Dobie’s inspirational season continues.
“We just want Gabby to
know we love her and we
know she’s fighting,” Dobie’s Amanda Nguyen said.
“We’re going to keep fighting with her.”
Since hitting a bit of a
lull at the Pearland tournament just prior to the start
of district play, Dobie has
stepped up its game. Roles
have been defined, and each
player in the rotation is contributing.
Nguyen, clearly the team
leader from her libero position, is joined by setters

Heading into the District 22-5A season with the opener
coming Sept. 24 against Memorial at Newcomb Field,
the Longhorns’ spread offense needs to get in gear.
Quarterback Blake Jackson (right), the team’s sophomore starter, will play a big role along with senior tailback Randy Owens (at left, blocking a Dawson player).
In three nondistrict games, Dobie scored 37 points and
had just over 575 yards of total offense. No back has
rushed for more than 100 yards this season. Against
Memorial and in moving forward, the offense will have
to do more if the Longhorns are to break a three-year
playoff drought.

22-5A, 24-5A playoff football pushes begin
At this point, anyone
reading the league standings
and seeing that both Clear
Brook and Dobie’s varsity
football teams are 1-2 overall are merely experiencing
an optical illusion.
OK, so maybe the respective teams are indeed
1-2. But that all changes
Sept. 24 for Dobie when the
Longhorns take on Memorial at Newcomb Field in
the District 22-5A opener
for both teams.
The same goes for Clear
Brook, which get its chance
to begin anew Sept. 25 in
a District 24-5A opening
game against Clear Creek
at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in League City.
Like many teams in the
southeast Houston area,
Brook and Dobie will be
coming off bye weeks entering their league openers.
Clear Brook finished its
nondistrict schedule with a
loss to Strake Jesuit, while
the Longhorns fell to Dawson in its final nondistrict
tune-up.

Scott Talton Court coming to Dobie
Dobie High School is set
to honor one of its all-time
coaching greats.
Longtime varsity boys’
basketball coach Scott Talton died unexpectedly in
February due to an undiagnosed condition.
Fans, friends, staff members and many other Dobie
supporters rallied around
Talton’s family then, and
now school principal Steve
Jamail has signed off on another honor.
When basketball teams
show up at Dobie High
School to compete in the
McDonald’s Texas Invitational Nov. 19-21, they will
step onto Scott Talton Court
for the first time.
The design has been
completed, and plans call
for Talton’s signature-laden
decals to be in place in time
for the first day of action
Nov. 19.
Adding to the moment,
the Dobie varsity boys’
team will begin its season
Nov. 19 as part of the tournament.
“We wanted to honor
Scott not only for the many
years of his life that he gave
to the Dobie family but also
his fine work in the basketball
community,” Jamail said.
“Obviously, all of us
were saddened by his death.
Not only was he a terrific
basketball coach, but he did
such a great job of preparing his players for life after
athletics and high school.
He is still missed, and this,
we believe, is a great way to
honor Scott and his family.”
Talton’s wife, Vicki,
moved to Corpus Christi at
the end of the summer. She
is living with family and is
working in the Flour Bluff
Scott Talton
Independent School District
in Corpus Christi.
The Taltons’ lone son,
Scottie, is a sophomore at
Texas A&M University. He
is a 2008 graduate of Dobie
High School.
Talton MVP trophy
McDonald’s Texas Invitational Basketball Tournament founder Ben Meador
told the Leader that the
individual boys’ top player
in the tournament will now
earn the Scott Talton Most
Valuable Player Award.
Meador last month proposed the idea to the tournament’s steering committee. It gained unanimous
approval.
Vicki and Scottie Talton
are slated to be on hand to

game’s final play, dashing
99 yards for a touchdown
to close out the impressive

Aaron Melendez, Jesse Tate
and Douchane Sells also
played exceptionally well
on the offensive side of the
football.
Adam Zapeda, Rommel

Bay Area Football League season reaches midway
The midway point in the
Bay Area Football League
season has arrived.
The playoff contenders
are beginning to separate
themselves from the contenders.
In the senior division,
the Sagemont Cowboys, Ellington Rams and Southbelt
Dolphins are playing exceptionally well.
In the senior American
Conference, the Cowboys
and Rams are tied for first
place at 4-1. The Dolphins,
playing in the senior National division, are tied for
first place at 5-0 along with
the Friendswood Mustangs.
The Rams (3-1-1) and
Cowboys (3-2) are in playoff contention in the junior
division’s American Conference, while the Dolphins
are neck and neck at 5-0 for
first place in the National
division.
The sophomore division
is competitive in both con-
ferences. In the American
Conference, the sophomore
Rams are second at 4-1,
while the Cowboys are tied
for sixth at 1-4.
Southbelt’s sophomore
team is 3-2, currently good
enough for third place in the
National Conference.
The Cowboys’ freshman
division team is now 3-2
in the American Conference after downing Magnolia Sept. 19. That record
leaves the Cowboys in third

The Ellington Rams had
a tough week against a terrific Pearland Hurricanes
program. In the end, the
Rams won just one of the
three games.

each of the teams from the
Cowboys, Rams and Dolphins are improving each
week.
Many of the pee wee division players represent the

pleased to see the young
teams learn the game and
have fun.

Dolphins freshmen 26
Alvin 0
The Dolphins’ freshman
team downed Alvin 26-0
as four different players
scored touchdowns, and the
defense was spectacular.
Dante Proctor Jr. scored
the first touchdown for the
Brook, Dobie FB
to open district
Both Clear Brook and
Dobie went 1-2 through
nondistrict action, but for
different reasons.
The Wolverines’ offense
has produced some big
numbers even as turnovers
have stalled several big
drives.
With 1,371 total yards
off offense, including nearly 1,200 on the ground, the
Wolverines have not had
trouble moving the chains.
Clear Brook collected
77 first downs through the
three games and scored 118
points.
But if the Wolverines are
to successfully defend their
24-5A crown, the defensive
unit has to play at a high
level.
Opposing offenses have
scored a handful of touchdowns on plays of 50 yards
or more.
Along the way, the Wolverines have given up 120
points – 40 per game.
Last season, Clear Brook
defeated Clear Creek and
eventually went on to win
the crown.
Whereas Clear Brook
needs to pick up the pace
defensively, the Dobie
Longhorns have been fairly
good on defense.
Dawson rang up more
than 200 yards passing and
ran the ball effectively but
still scored just 21 points.
Overall, the Longhorns
have given up just 54
points.
Yet the slates have essentially been wiped clean for
all of the teams beginning
district play.
Dobie and Memorial are
considered playoff contenders in the 22-5A ranks, so
this game is huge.
Last season, Dobie won
one of its most thrilling
games in recent memory,
taking down the Mavericks
in double overtime.
This time, the Longhorns
will settle for simply winning the game in regulation. To do so, they need to
get offensive and make the
Mavs’ defense pay.

Gutsy wins keep Dobie unbeaten
DP falls in four
Dobie’s win over La
Porte
notwithstanding,
the come-from-behind effort against Deer Park was
something special.
The Lady Deer did their
part to honor Romero by
wearing the same Team
Gabby T-shirts they had
during last season’s special
night at Dobie.
Wearing pink T-shirts,
Deer Park stormed out
of the gates with a 25-16
first-game win as the Lady
Longhorns seemed out of
sorts.
From there, though, the
match turned. Dobie built
leads of 4-0 and 11-6 before
Deer Park forced a tie at 1616.
But Dobie rallied again.
Bertrand got the Lady
Longhorns to game point
with a kill and then the Deer
could not return a serve as
the second game went to
Dobie 25-21. Suddenly the
match was tied.
Deer Park held leads late
in both the third and fourth
games before Dobie fought
back.
The visitors led 20-18
before Havard came up
with a big block to cut the
deficit to 20-19. Deer Park
then forged ahead 23-20,
but Harris came up with a
hammer and a dink on backto-back points.
The Deer made their way
to game point at 24-22, but
Harris delivered another
kill, and a Deer Park service
return floated long.
After a Deer Park hitting
error, Bertrand closed out
the game at 26-24 with a
bomb from the right side.
In the fourth game, the
Deer led 22-20 but could
not finish the deal. Instead,
Finney had three kills in
a key stretch as the Lady
Longhorns won the match,
setting off a jubilant celebration on the court.
“This really was our best
win ever,” an emotional
Nguyen said after the match.
“The biggest thing for us is
that we have so much heart.
“We may not be the biggest team or the fastest, but
we keep fighting. Gabby is
fighting, too, and we want
her to know we are right
there with her.”
Sabatell would have preferred the Lady Longhorns
take a less stressful route to
a win, but he was equally
impressed.
“Our first game was noth-
Scott Talton court...
present the MVP trophy
after the conclusion of the
gold bracket championship
game Nov. 21 at Phillips
Field House.
Scott Talton was instrumental in planning for the
big tournament prior to its
inception, according to Meador, who added that tournament officials still provide
laundry service for out-oftown teams, as Talton had
suggested many years back.
“Scott had some great
ideas that he was able to
share with us during the
time when we were still in
the planning stages,” Meador said.
“In fact, he is really the
one who convinced me this
tournament was a great idea.
It’s with great honor that we
name the MVP trophy for
Scott. It’s something he,
Vicki, Scottie and the family so richly deserve.”
During the basketball offseason since Talton’s death,
there have been many more
ideas proposed in honor of
the coach.
Langham Creek High
School varsity boys’ basketball coach Charles Ament,
a former Talton player and
Dobie graduate, has also
gone the extra mile in Talton’s honor.
Ament and current Dobie varsity boys’ basketball
coach Kevin Cross, who
also played for Talton, have
been working on plans for
Scott Talton Night, coming
Dec. 1 when the Longhorns
host Langham Creek at Dobie.
Vicki Talton said seeing
her husband’s name forever
on the Dobie gymnasium
floor will be special.
She’s also thrilled for her
son Scottie, who played for
his father while at Dobie.
“From the day I met
Scott, until his life took him
to a higher court, our lives
revolved around basketball
and Dobie High School,”
Vicki Talton said.
“His love and dedication to the program has
been proven by the words
of some of the hundreds of
past players and students
who, to this day, say they
are who they are today because of coach Talton.
“From myself, our children, our family, his players, coaches, friends and
officials, thank you for remembering and dedicating
the court to Scott.
“He was a wonderful
husband, dad, coach and
friend, and we miss him so
much.
“The pain of him being
gone will never go away for
us, but with this new honor,
at least we know his legacy
will live on.”

JFD football plans Orange-Out

ing to write home about,” he
said.
“But volleyball is a game

for us. Every win is big.
These girls are gutsy. They
keep battling until the final
point is finished.”
