Pasadena ISD tax/bond election nears Two separate funding proposals will ap-pear on the ballot for the Pasadena Independent School District’s Nov. 7 special election. While the two issues are independent of one another, they are inextricably connected and con-fusing to many voters, who see them as being contradictory in nature. To be decided are Proposition A, a no-tax-rate-increase bond election seeking $135 million in funds for new construction, and Proposition B, a Tax Ratifi cation Election (TRE), which asks voters to approve a 13-cent tax increase to cov-er the district’s growing maintenance and opera-tions costs. “The system is far too complicated,” said for-mer PISD Superintendent Dr. Kirk Lewis. (See related letter on Page 2A.) By state law, school tax rates are broken into two separate categories: the Maintenance and

Operations (M&O) tax rate and the Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rate. The current M&O tax rate is $1.07, and the I&S tax rate is $0.28, com-bining to equal $1.35 per $100 in home value. Should Proposition A be passed by voters, the I&S rate would not increase. The M&O tax rate covers the school district’s day-to-day expenses, such as supplies, utilities and salaries, while the I&S tax rate funds debt incurred by selling bonds that are necessary to build new facilities, purchase land and renovate aging infrastructure. In the past, the state has matched M&O tax revenue collected through property taxes in the school district on an approximate 50-50 split. Over the last decade, however, the complex for-mulas used by the state to calculate the payments have forced districts to now provide roughly 62 percent of the necessary funding on their own.

Confounding matters, the state will provide extra funding only if school districts increase their local tax rate, as proposed in Proposition B. Should the 13-cent tax increase be approved by voters, it would bring in approximately $16 mil-lion in local revenue and force the state to match approximately $20.7 million in additional fund-ing, totaling roughly $36.7 million annually for the school district. “It’s not a dollar-for-dollar thing,” Lewis said. “It depends where you are, but as values go up, the state retains more money, or it sends you less. It’s kind of a shell game, in reality. It’s the state’s way to make districts run a maximum rate. The whole provision of the state is to maximize local efforts. There’s a basic allotment of what they’ll give, and if you want more than that, you’ll have to raise your local tax rate. They don’t have to raise taxes on the state level; they can blame it on us (the school districts). What it boils down to is the state is putting in less per student. They haven’t matched for enrollment growth, infl a-tion, utility costs, gas costs. There’s less and less (money) per student per year at the state level. That’s why more districts are looking at TREs as the only choice.” Lewis largely blames the state Legislature for failing to properly address the situation. “The current system is broken,” Lewis said. “It has been for the last 10 years, and they (the Legislature) realize that. They just keep kicking the can down the road.”

TRE (Proposition B) PISD offi cials contend the TRE would allow the school district to accomplish the following: • Remain competitive with surrounding dis-tricts in retaining and recruiting teachers and staff • Continue innovative instructional programs • Address student growth • Offset costs from unfunded state mandates • Offset the rising cost of utilities, salaries, fuel and medical insurance • Maximize state funding If approved, the impact of Proposition B on an average $130,000 home in Pasadena would be

approximately $9.97 per month, or 33 cents per day. Residents who are over 65 or disabled and have their taxes frozen will not be affected by the TRE. Pasadena ISD has not raised taxes in more than a decade.

Bond (Proposition A) Should the $135 million bond proposal be ap-proved by voters, it would provide for a variety of new construction projects and renovation ef-forts. “Since Proposition A will not increase the I&S tax rate, PISD is essentially asking for our taxpayers’ permission to purchase bonds for the recommended projects,” said current PISD Su-perintendent Dr. DeeAnn Powell. Projects identifi ed by the district’s Future Fa-cilities Committee, and approved by the PISD Board of Trustees, include the following: • New Riverstone Ranch intermediate school • Red Bluff Elementary replacement campus (on site) • Transportation facility and site work • Maintenance and operations - warehouse fa-cility • Facility - safety upgrades • Technology equipment • Fine arts instruments • New buses • Facilities management The special election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 7. Early voting will take place Monday, Oct. 23, through Friday, Nov. 3. For more information on Proposition A and Proposition B, visit www1.pasadenaisd.org/2017bondtre.

Man killed in Gulf Freeway crash A man was killed in an automobile accident in the 18100 block of the Gulf Freeway near FM 2351/Clear Lake City Boulevard on Thursday, Oct. 5. According to the Houston Police Depart-ment, the victim, Richard Espinoza of Pasadena, was traveling south on the freeway service road

around 4:05 a.m. in a gray Jeep when he struck the rear of a tractor-trailer truck parked in a mov-ing lane of traffi c while making a delivery to a car dealership. Espinoza, 31, was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation was ongoing at press time.

South Belt storm debris removal continues Storm debris removal efforts are continuing throughout the South Belt community following Hurricane Harvey, with cleanup nearing comple-tion in some areas. Conversely, however, some local neighborhoods have yet to receive a com-plete pass-through by cleanup crews at press time.

Clear Brook City MUD Having hired a private contractor in advance, the Clear Brook City Municipal Utility District is leading the charge locally in regards to recovery efforts. The district began its third-and-fi nal pass-through on Wednesday, Sept. 27. MUD offi cials said this process is expected to be complete by Oct. 31. This is a time-consuming process, and each street may take more than a day to clear. Anyone who has had debris picked up since Sept. 27 will not receive any further pickups. All future debris removal will be the responsibility of the home-owner/resident or contractor performing repairs. Residents with household storm debris should place it within 10 feet of the curb for pickup. Guidelines for debris are as follows: • Do not place debris on top of or close to fi re hydrants, mailboxes or on driveways. • Do not place debris over water meter boxes. • Do not place debris on driveways. • Do not place debris in drainage ditches or channels. No new construction debris or household gar-bage will be picked up if it is mixed with storm debris. New construction debris is the responsi-bility of the contractor/resident to dispose of. Household garbage will be picked up by the district’s usual contractor – only if it is separated from the storm debris. This is per FEMA guide-lines. Clear Brook City MUD has collected all haz-ardous waste left at curbside as of Oct. 9. Any future hazardous waste will need to be properly disposed of by the homeowner. For more infor-mation, contact the City of Houston Household Hazardous Waste Information Line at 713-551-7355. Should residents have any questions, contact the Clear Brook City MUD at 281-484-1562.

City of Houston With the removal of more than 1 million cu-bic yards of Hurricane Harvey debris, the City of Houston Solid Waste Management Depart-ment has substantially completed its fi rst pass of storm debris collection services. Many parts of the South Belt located in the city, however, have yet to receive a complete pass-through.

“I commend the hard work of Solid Waste Management employees and leadership as they have managed the cleanup of this overwhelming and emotional debris fi eld,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. “We should keep in mind that it wasn’t simply debris at the curb but years and years of precious memories. Houstonians should take great comfort that our municipal and con-tractor crews have worked nonstop to provide relief as they have undertaken the diffi cult pro-cess of rebuilding their homes and creating new memories.” Since beginning debris collections on Aug. 30, the city, along with municipal crews from Austin and San Antonio and private contractors, have removed what is considered the most dan-gerous debris. This debris initially placed at the curb was soaked in fl oodwaters and considered a public health hazard by the city’s chief health offi cer, Dr. David Persse. Debris collection will continue as homeowners continue to work through the devastation of Harvey’s fl oodwaters, high winds and rains. The initial pass has provided debris removal service to homeowners who were immediate-ly available to return to their homes and begin removal of fl ooded furniture, appliances, carpet and Sheetrock. Additional passes will collect ad-ditional material, such as materials from those homeowners who have already begun work; homes that were untouched during the fi rst pass; material generated due to leaking roofs or dam-aged outdoor property improvements (fencing); and green waste generated by fallen/broken trees or vegetation. The second citywide pass is expected to take up to 60 days to complete and end by Dec. 1. Second-pass collection will move at a slower pace than the initial pass due to the inconsisten-cy of impacted residents in starting and complet-ing their property remediation. Residents should move their debris curbside by 7 a.m., placing items away from fi re hydrants, mailboxes, power lines and other objects that impact the overhead operations of the equipment used for collection. Residents are also strongly encouraged to remove vehicles away from debris piles. If access to the debris is blocked, crews cannot collect the items. Debris separation piles: Normal household trash - normal household trash and bagged debris of any kind will not be picked up with storm debris as part of this pro-gram. Garbage (black container) will be collect-ed on its normal weekly schedule. Vegetative debris – leaves (do not put in bags),

logs, plants and tree branches. Construction and demolition Debris – build-ing materials, carpet, drywall, furniture, lumber, mattresses and plumbing. Appliances & related goods – air condition-ers, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters. Electronics – computers, radios, stereos, tele-visions and other devices with a cord. Household hazardous waste – cleaning sup-plies, batteries, lawn chemical, oils, oil-based paints, stains and pesticides. For more information about the City of Hous-ton Solid Waste Management Department and its services, visit www.houstonsolidwaste.org or call 3-1-1, the City of Houston’s Customer Ser-vice Hotline.

Harris County The subdivisions of Sagemeadow, Kirkmont and Kirkwood South are all being serviced by

Harris County. As with residences located in the city, cleanup efforts in the county are also taking longer to complete, with some households still not having received a complete fi rst pass-through at press time. County offi cials said three storm-debris-re-moval passes will be made in all, with the third-and-fi nal pass-through being completed by the end of the year. Again, residents are asked to separate their storm debris from household trash. The Harris County Residential Debris and Damage Assessment Hotline has been estab-lished at 713-274-3880 to assist residents living in unincorporated areas of the county with recov-ery and rebuilding after Hurricane Harvey. Residents are encouraged to report any haz-ardous materials spills to the Harris County Pol-lution Control Services Department at 713-920-2831.

Blackhawk to close Blackhawk Boulevard will be closed at Belt-way 8 from 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, through 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 16. The closures are associ-ated with the ongoing project to widen Beltway 8 from Beamer to Highway 288 from two to four lanes in each direction.

Kirk Lewis supports PISD TRE, bond I am incredibly proud of the students and staff of Pasadena ISD. The progress made over the years through great prin-cipal leadership and outstanding teach-ing created an amazing learning environ-ment for our children and grandchildren. Our students now have opportunities that our children simply didn’t have 10 years ago. The state legislature’s failure to pro-vide additional funding for school districts across the state for the next two years puts all we have gained at risk. That’s largely why Pasadena ISD is holding a 13-cent tax ratifi cation elec-tion (TRE) on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Though it will increase our tax rate for the fi rst time in 10 years, the TRE (Proposition B on the ballot) will provide additional fund-ing to allow the district to continue and to expand its outstanding academic ini-tiatives, such as full-day prekindergarten, advanced placement courses, dual cred-it, Early College High School programs and Connect, the personalized learning program that has brought national atten-tion to our district. If Proposition B fails, the district will face the tough choice of cutting staff and programs to make ends meet. Many of these programs will be scaled back or eliminated. Here’s the ironic twist to this. Through a quirk of the state funding laws, the state will increase its funding of local school districts if, and only if, the district increas-es its tax rate as proposed in Proposition B. For Pasadena ISD, that means the state will be required to send the district $20.7 million annually in matching funds. Those matching state funds will go a long way to help the district sustain its most outstanding programs and to continue re-cruiting and retaining our amazing teach-ers and staff. That means for every dollar you and I pay in new taxes, the state will contribute another $1.24. We must vote FOR Proposition B if we want the district to keep providing these highly effective and inspiring programs. You will also fi nd on the ballot Prop-osition A, a $135 million bond package that will build a new intermediate school to relieve overcrowding at that level, a replacement campus for Red Bluff Ele-mentary (built in the 1950s) and neces-sary facility improvements in our trans-portation and maintenance departments. As the district has been able to do in the past, this bond will not require a tax rate increase. As a community, you have constantly supported our schools in the past. Join me again on Nov. 7. Vote FOR on both Propositions A and B. Your positive vote will make a positive difference in the lives of our students. Dr. Kirk Lewis,

Retired Superintendent, Pasadena ISD

Fire marshall writeson fi re prevention The Harris County Fire Marshal’s Of-fi ce, in coordination with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an-nounces this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” This year’s message works to better educate the public about the criti-cal importance of developing a home es-cape plan and practicing it. Fire Preven-tion Week is October 8- 14, 2017. “Developing and practicing a home es-cape plan is like building muscle memo-ry,” said Mike Montgomery, Harris County Fire Marshal. “That pre-planning is what

everyone will draw upon to snap into ac-tion and escape as quickly as possible in the event of a fi re.” In a typical home fi re, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. That’s why home escape plan-ning is so critical in a fi re situation. It ensures that everyone in the household knows how to use that small window of time wisely. In support of Fire Prevention Week, the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Offi ce encourages all residents of Harris Coun-ty to develop a plan together and practice it. A home escape plan includes working smoke alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom, and near all sleeping areas. It also includes two ways out of ev-ery room, usually a door and a window, with a clear path to an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) that’s a safe distance from the home.

Vote “Yes” for PISD needed propositions As, you may know, the Pasadena In-dependent School District is holding an election,Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017. Early vote starts October 23 - November 3rd. It has two very important propositions needing approval. Proposition A is $135 million bond, which does not require tax rate increase. It will add new intermediate in South Belt area, replacing Red Bluff Elementary (1954), new vehicle maintenance facility, district warehouse, safety and technolo-gy upgrades. Proposition B is tax ratifi cation elec-tion, asking voters to allow board of trust-ees to increase taxes, 13 cents for the maintenance & operations budget, which includes salaries and maintenance oper-ations. When it passes it will create, $16 million more revenue, but with the goofy funding state funding formula, the state is required to provide the district addition-al $20 million annually, $36 million total. This increase important it passes, since the school district, like all other public school systems has been receiving state funding that has been fl at for 10 years. PISD, has not had a tax rate increase in 10 years. If the tax ratifi cation does not pass the school system does not receive the $20 million funding and $36 million annually will be gone. Seniors taxes will not be affected. The board of trustees has put off, for the past 6 years calling the tax ratifi cation which the state requires them to do. Each biennial session of the Texas legislature there is talk about changing the funding system for public schools, even the state courts have ruled it to be unequitable and ordered to correct. But to date including this years session and special session, nothing was done to address the need n changing the system. Thus, because that failure it comes back to you the local tax payer. The district has been defi cit budget-ing for over three years, hoping the system would change, but can no longer keep staff and services at present level with out this infusion of income. Many of the surrounding districts have already passed this TRE. I encourage you to vote and vote yes for both propositions A & B.

Geissen

Longtime South Belt resi-dent Lloyd Anthone Geissen, 76, died Oct. 6, 2017, in Cy-press, Texas. He was born on Nov. 15, 1940, in Houston, to Herman Geissen and Mildred Car-penter Geissen. Lloyd is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Judy Reid Geissen; son Steven Geissen; daughter Lisa Geis-sen Beitler and husband Joe; grandsons Reid, Michael and Cameron; granddaughter Katie; sister Quana McCor-mick and husband Tom; one niece; several nephews; and numerous cousins. Lloyd graduated from the University of Houston Col-lege of Pharmacy in 1964. He was commissioned as an offi cer in the U.S. Army and served two years of ac-tive duty (1965-1967) at Ft.

relied on his expertise and came to him for his profes-sional advice. Lloyd retired in 2001.

Remember When40 years ago ( 1977)

District 100 State Rep. Bill Caraway was appointed by House Speaker Bill Clay-ton to serve on an interim committee to study alcohol abuse and control. Mayor Fred Hofheinz an-nounced the annexation of the Scarsdale subdivision and the rest of Clear Lake. The Scarsdale area annexed con-sisted of 1.02 square miles of land and was inhabited by 3,356 residents.

35 years ago ( 1982) While on his way to Bur-nett Elementary, Coung Bui, 8, suffered head injuries and a broken leg when a car, trav-eling on Scarsdale Boulevard near the Sageglen Street light, struck him. A residence in the 10100 block of Sagecourt in Sage-glen was burglarized of ap-proximately $59,000 in mer-chandise. Harris County offi cials de-nied any plans to sell the van-dalism-plagued Sagemeadow Park.

30 years ago (1987) Beverly Hills received three long-awaited portable buildings. All policing agencies in

the area increased patrols in an attempt to cut down on ra-cial gang fi ghting, which ap-parently started gaining mo-mentum. Fighting between black and Vietnamese teen-agers resulted in the arrest of four black juveniles.

25 years ago (1992) Joe Armstrong, outgo-ing president of the South Belt-Ellington Chamber of Commerce, presented tro-phies to the South Belt area Citizen of the Year Richard Golenko and Volunteer of the Year Dianna Benavides at the chamber’s annual banquet. Dobie 1979 graduate Roland Dominguez was ap-pointed by Gov. Ann Rich-ards to be on the Maternal and Child Health Advisory Committee.

20 years ago (1997) Alert police work resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old male who had been charged on four counts of harassment for making obscene phone calls to Dobie cheerleaders. EPA was expected to enter into the federal courts in what would be the fi nal Consent Decree on Brio.

15 years ago (2002) Chris Clark, longtime

South Belt resident and businessman, was named president of the South Belt-Ellington Chamber of Commerce. A fi re was set to a con-struction building at San Jac South. The fi re was started by an arsonist who used a fl ammable liquid. The fi re completely destroyed the building causing approxi-mately $25,000 in damages.

10 years ago (2007) Longtime Kirkwood resi-dent and 1973 Dobie gradu-ate Bob Mitchell was elected president of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partner-ship. He would succeed Jim Reinhartsen as president, ef-fective Jan. 1. Reinhartsen, who served as BAHEP presi-dent for 15 years, would then become the organization’s vice president. Mitchell’s wife of 28 years, Brenda, was a longtime administra-tive assistant at Beverly Hills Intermediate. Kayla Henry and Josh Monette were named Do-bie’s homecoming queen and king, during the school’s football game against Me-morial High School at Newcomb Field. Monette,

a senior fullback/linebacker on the team, returned to the playing fi eld shortly after the halftime ceremony. Students from Dobie High School’s Future Farm-ers of America took home three of eight grand cham-pionship awards at the 2007 Pasadena Livestock Show and Rodeo’s championship auction. Among these were a prize-winning steer from Brittany Hebert, a lamb from Courtney Craft and a turkey hen from Quinton Edwards. Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital celebrat-ed the opening of its Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a Children’s Fun Fair and Health Expo.

5 years ago (2012) State Sen. Mario V. Gal-legos Jr., a former South Belt resident, died at Methodist Hospital from complications of liver disease. Gallegos, 62, had represented District 6 in the Texas Senate since 1994, having served two terms as a state represen-tative before that. He had previously served 22 years in the Houston Fire Depart-ment, retiring as a captain. The fi rst Hispanic senator

elected to represent Harris County, Gallegos received numerous awards in appreci-ation for his work during his legislative tenure. In 2006, Gallegos began treatment for alcoholism and learned he had cirrhosis of the liver. The following year, he un-derwent a liver transplant. Gallegos ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and faced off against Republican R.W. Bray in the November general election.

1 year ago (2016) A South Belt man was killed in a motorcycle acci-dent Saturday, Oct. 8, in the 9400 block of Blackhawk between Fuqua and Almeda Genoa. Derek Hartwell, 40, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to investi-gators, Hartwell was traveling south on Blackhawk on a sil-ver Harley Davidson motor-cycle when he struck a blue Dodge Durango SUV at the intersection of Wolcott Park Lane. The driver of the SUV had reportedly failed to yield the right of way after leaving a stop sign, police said. The driver of the SUV exhibited no signs of intoxication. She was questioned and released.

Israeli Folk Dancing dates set And the dancing continues. What was meant to last only for four to fi ve months is now in its eighth year, as the participants do not want to stop dancing.

The dances are held at Congregation Shaar Hashalom on Mondays, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Session dates this month are Oct. 16, Oct. 23 and Oct. 30. The cost for CSH members is $4 per session or $35 for 10 sessions. The cost for non-members is $5 per session or $45 for 10 sessions. Dancing is an excellent cardiovascular exercise while having fun and everyone is welcome to join the group. Congregation Shaar Hashalom is located at 16020 El Camino Real in Houston and is the conservative synagogue in the Bay Area. The entire community is invited to attend. For more information, contact the synagogue offi ce at 281-488-5861 or at csh@shaarhashalom.org.

Team finishes 5-1

JFD tennis is second;to take on Atascocita

At right, the Dobie girls’ cross-country teams are set to com-pete in the District 22-6A Championships after a strong finish to the regular season at the Pasadena High School Invitational Oct. 5 at Memorial Park in Pasadena. Do-bie junior varsity run-ner Alexis Lopez (left in photo) was 15th in her race while Amari Singleton placed 16th in the 5K varsity girls’ division. Dobie is now preparing to compete at the 22-6A Cham-pionships Thursday, Oct. 12, in Deer Park. The host Deer are considered the front-runners for the title in both varsity divisions, but Dobie is intent on challenging the top competitors. Single-ton, a freshman, is looking to make a push toward the front of the pack in her first post-season event. Lopez is also hoping to contin-ue her solid season in the final JV event on the schedule.Photo courtesy of PISD

Dobie cross-country to 22-6A ChampionshipsPISD rivalry pitsThompson, Bears The big rivalry that has been waged for parts of five decades will continue Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 16 and 17 as the Beverly Hills Bears and Thompson Lions go head-to-head on the football field. Both programs are off to a strong start in their

respective districts, and the big matchup involving these two teams is certain to have huge playoff im-plications later this month. The respective eighth-grade teams will play Oct. 16 at Veterans Stadium in Pasadena. See the full schedule on Page 6B.

Junior tailback Kris Morris had his best game as a Longhorn with 157 yards rushing including a 60-yard touchdown scam-per in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, Mor-ris’ work wasn’t nearly enough to lift the Long-horns to a victory over Memorial as the Maver-icks secured the Battle of the Beltway trophy for the second straight season with a 38-13 victory Oct. 6, at Pasadena ISD’s Vet-erans Stadium. The Mavericks pre-dictably leaned heavily on senior tailback Alex Williams, who eclipsed the 200-yard mark on the ground while scoring five touchdowns. Kicker Bubba Baxa, a University of Miami commit, made good on a 54-yard field goal as Memorial con-trolled things for much of the way. At 0-4, the Longhorns have trailed early by big margins in three of their four defeats. During the opening week of 22-6A play, the Longhorns held Deer Park to just seven points in the first half, but the Deer exploded for 21 quick points in the second quarter to lead big en route to an eventual 42-0 victo-ry.

Memorial claims Battle of the Beltway trophy Now at 0-2 in the Dis-trict 22-6A race to the postseason, the Longhorns will have a chance to re-group on a bye week prior

to facing South Houston Oct. 20 back at Veterans Stadium. The Trojans, who de-feated La Porte for the

first time since 2007 with a 23-13 win Oct. 7, are now off to a 2-0 start in district play with a huge road game coming against

Deer Park at Abshier Sta-dium.

Morris gets loose Memorial did a fairly good job of keeping Mor-ris and the rest of Dobie’s offense in control, but two big runs by Morris were asterisks on his big night. Morris had a 56-yard run to go with his 60-yard touchdown gallop, and he also had a big kickoff re-turn. Aside from what Mor-ris was able to produce, the Longhorns also got a touchdown in the passing game in the third quarter.

Mathews, Creek outpace Brook All is certainly not lost, but the Clear Brook varsi-ty football team just may have suffered a critical loss in District 24-6A play to Clear Creek.

Just a week after scor-ing 55 points in a win over Clear Falls, the Wolver-ines surrendered 55 in a 55-42 loss to Clear Creek as both teams moved to 1-1 in league play. In a bit of a surprise, Friendswood and Clear Lake have both opened District 24-6A action at 2-0, as has defending league champion Clear Springs. Dickinson, which has advanced to the third round of the postseason in consecutive seasons, has gone winless in two dis-trict games. Clear Brook had been flying high at 3-0 overall,

including its league win over Clear Falls. Howev-er, senior quarterback Sam Mathews and his Clear Creek teammates changed all of that Oct. 6 at Chal-

lenger Stadium in Web-ster. Matthews put together a career game against the Wolverines, accounting for more than 400 yards of offense. He rushed 25 times for 288 yards, scor-ing on runs of 3, 1, 54, 58 and 27 yards. Mathews led the Wild-cats to touchdowns on eight of their 10 drives in the game, including each of the team’s final five. Another drive ended with a missed field goal. Once again, quarter-back Jaizac Garcia and receiver Caleb Chapman played key roles in gener-ating offenses for the Wol-

verines. Chapman caught touch-down passes of 6 and 33 yards to give him 12 scor-

Fresh off a 10-2 victo-ry over Memorial to close out District 22-6A action Oct. 10, Dobie varsity team tennis unit has se-cured the No. 2 seed in the final standings and is set to begin the postseason.

Battlin’ Bears roll past South Houston Beverly Hills inched toward its anticipated showdown with Thomp-son by handing the South Houston Indians defeats in three of four games Oct. 2-3.

Bears’ 8A 36South Houston 6

The Bears’ eighth-grade A team stayed unbeaten at 2-0, using a big second half scoring outburst to dispatch the Indians 36-6. South Houston actually led the Bears 6-0 at half-time before the locals took control over the fi nal two quarters. Beverly Hills’ Demon-te Seymore continued the strong start to his season as he scored fi ve touch-downs, and teammate Tra-jan Davis scored once as the Bears rallied for the win. The Bears’ offen-sive line standouts were Dekary Ramsay and Issac Gonzalez as they helped the running game come together in a big way. Jordan Barrett and Jose Ramirez were the de-fensive standouts for the Bears as the Indians were unable to sustain anything much offensively in the second half.

South Houston 6Bears’ 7A 0

South Houston returned the opening kickoff of the game for the lone score of the day, leaving the Bears’ seventh-grade A team on the short end of a 6-0 score. According to the BHI coaching staff, penalties and mental errors led to the locals being large-ly unable to mount much on offense as the Indians

hung for the win, sending the Bears to 1-1 this sea-son.

Bears’ 8B 21South Houston 0

A big second half, in-cluding two touchdowns, helped lift the Bears’ eighth-grade B team to a 21-0 victory over South Houston. An overall team effort led to the win as the Bears moved to 2-0 this season.

Bears’ 7B 20South Houston 0

As was the case at the

eighth-grade level, the Bears’ seventh-grade B team came up with a team effort to ultimately hand the Indians a 20-0 setback. The Bears went up against the always-tough Bondy Patriots Oct. 9-10, and those results will ap-pear in next week’s issue of the Leader.

Lions sweep Jackson A week after facing a tough Bondy program in four games, the Thomp-son Lions kept their strong season going with a four-

game sweep of the Jack-son Wildcats. In the eighth-grade A game, the Lions came up with a 32-0 victory to win their fi rst game of the sea-son. Thompson was 1-0-1 heading into week three action after press time. The Lions’ eighth-grade B team delivered a tidy 14-0 victory over the Wildcats, moving to 2-0 this season with the deci-sion. Thompson also won both of its games at the

seventh-grade level to close out the series sweep. In the seventh-grade A game, the Lions roared their way to a 27-0 victory to keep their strong season going. Ditto for the sev-enth-grade B team as the Lions cruised 31-0 over the Wildcats. The Pasadena ISD sea-son includes one more week of regular games, Oct. 23-24, before the start of the postseason comes the following week.

Brook football drops key 24-6A contest against WildcatsContinued from Page 1Bing grabs through four games this season. Lo-ronzo Thompson also had a big game for the Wol-verines, adding an 18-yard touchdown run to the equation.

Michael Norris, who has played a key role gen-erally as a reserve running back for the Wolverines, made his presence felt with touchdown runs of 74 and 53 yards in the contest, one in which big

defensive plays were at a premium. Garcia came up with a 53-yard touchdown run late in the game for the Wolverines, but the locals simply could not stop the Wildcats from doing dam-

age from anywhere on the field. So the District 24-6A race has gone another week and some of the con-tenders are beginning to emerge. Unfortunately for the

Wolverines, they are now likely to have to come up with a big win against Friendswood, Clear Springs or Dickinson in order to keep their lofty playoff aspirations flying well into November.

It’s Atascocita/Dobie in bidistrict tennisContinued from Page 1Bseed out of 24-6A in the area round. Dobie missed out on its chance to win the 22-6A crown following a 13-6 loss to Deer Park, but the matches were much more tightly-contested than the final score indicated. Manuel Moreno Jr., Dobie’s longtime head coach, said his team needs to focus more on closing out some of those tight matches that have previ-ously gone the other way in order to advance. The Longhorns have not had much success against Deer Park in recent years, but Moreno said his team was in a winnable scenario this time around. But the Longhorns lost three supertiebreakers, including one by a 12-10 score. In the end, Deer

Park escaped with a 13-6 win, but Moreno believes with a break or two the way of the Longhorns, they could have come away with the requisite 10 wins needed to claim the duel. Just a day later, the Longhorns hosted La Porte and ran away with things to the tune of a 15-4 score. Because Beaumont West Brook forfeited its 22-6A match against the Longhorns, the Oct. 10 go-round with Memori-al was the finale for both teams. Dobie did win 10-2, but again, Moreno came away less that thrilled with the way the Longhorns fin-ished in the doubles. Do-bie led 4-3, but Moreno said the Mavericks nearly pulled out a couple of wins that could have swung the

score. Dobie did win in the No. 1 boys’ (“Big” Tom-my Nguyen/Luis Neira) and No. 2 boys’ (“Little” Tommy Nguyen/Adrian Tamez) doubles spots and thus pulled away for the win, and Moreno would like to see more of it. “We just have to play better in doubles,” More-no said. “Historically, we prefer to jump out to a 5-2, 6-1 lead after the doubles and then get those other four wins in singles. We haven’t been closing out some of these matches. “We will be playing a lot of supertiebreakers in practice between now and when we play Atascocita.” The positives? “Big” Tommy Nguyen, who is undefeated at 6-0 in the No. 1 boys’ singles slot for the Longhorns, heads

a solid group of seniors who are intent on finishing strong this season. Moreno also praised the play of Emily Nguyen and Bao Nguyen in girls’ No. 2 doubles. After dropping a couple of tiebreakers against Deer Park and La Porte that turned into heartbreaking match losses, the duo re-turned against Memorial and scored an impressive 6-2, 6-0 victory. The Longhorns will compete in an intrasquad match Friday, Oct. 13, at 2:30 p.m. and will use pink tennis balls to sup-port breast cancer aware-ness month. After that, it’s all about beating Atascocita and getting to the area round. “I know the kids will com-pete, we just have to finish matches,” Moreno said.

Continued from Page 1B Jacob Sims, subbing for starter Jacob Sulak, found Justin Thomas for eight yards and a touchdown to get the Longhorns on the scoreboard after falling behind 24-0. And back-up running back Andrew Logan had a solid game, rushing for 56 yards on 15 carries. To this point, the Long-horns have fallen behind quickly in each of their games, fighting from be-hind the rest of the way. The passing game has for the most part been un-able to deliver the big play, and opposing running games have had success

against the Longhorns’ de-fense. Now comes a bye week for the Longhorns, and then comes a contest against Sam Rayburn. The Texans feature standout tailback Stanley Hackett, who went for 288 yards

on the ground against La Porte. With four district games remaining, the Longhorns can certainly rebound from an 0-2 start and get back into playoff consid-eration, but it has to start against Sam Rayburn.

Longhorn football on bye week

Lady Longhorns handling VB business The Dobie varsity girls’ volleyball team may not be able to secure one of the top two playoff seeds in District 22-6A, but it’s looking more and more like the locals are postsea-son bound. Back-to-back wins over South Houston and Sam Rayburn have the Lady Longhorns standing at 7-3 in the current standings with four more league matches remaining. Deer Park, the defend-ing unbeaten league cham-pion, is again perfect at 10-0, with Beaumont West Brook just a match behind at 9-1. It would take a huge collapse by either of those teams to help the Lady Longhorns improve their present No. 3 play-off seeding, but there are worse things in the high school volleyball world. Dobie’s 7-3 record gives it a two-match lead over fourth-place La Porte,

and Memorial trails Dobie by three matches with four to go. Dobie defeated both La Porte and Memorial in the first half of district play. In getting to its 7-3 re-cord, Dobie simply took care of business against teams below them in the standings. On Oct. 6 against South Houston, Taylor Pleasants had 12 kills and Natasha Walters added nine as the Lady Longhorns defeated the Trojans 25-7, 25-8, 25-14. Dobie then played at Sam Rayburn Oct. 10, coming up with an easy 25-21, 25-13, 25-13 win as Pleasants paced the team with 13 kills. The Lady Longhorns host an improved Pasade-na team Friday, Oct. 13, at 6:30 p.m., before finishing out the regular season with

matches against La Porte, Deer Park and Memorial.

Brook needs wins Consecutive losses to Clear Creek and Friends wood have Clear Brook tied for fifth place in District 24-6A with four

matches remaining. Friendswood has clinched a playoff berth at 10-0, with Clear Falls at 8-2. Clear Creek is 7-3, with Clear Springs at 6-4. Clear Brook and Clear Lake are both 4-6.
