In the world of Roadster of all

sizes and shapes the all new

Hyundai Veloster Turbo is mak-

ing a name for itself. The

Korean built little roadster has

some very hard lines and with-

out a doubt catches the average

person by storm. A racecar like

look up front with the lower

crawl and the smooth side and

the neatly rear slant. Those dual

exhaust tips in the center and the

rear wheels at all the way to the

back giving an aggressive look

to the overall view of the vehi-

cle. This three door coupe with a

hatch back is new to say the

least. Keep in mind we are talk-

ing about a third door on the

right side giving you access to

the rear seating area. The vehi-

cle surprisingly had plenty of

trunk space. The front seat leg

room was another pleasant sur-

prise for us as we began out

week long test drive.

Our test vehicle was the Turbo

version with a powerful 1.6 liter

dual continuously variable valve

timing gasoline direct injection

four cylinder engine with twin-

scroll intercooled turbo charger.

This baby cranks out 201 horses

along with 195 pound per foot of

torque and you throw in a six

speed manual transmission and

we are ready to roll to say the

least. The power rolls to the

pavement on 18 inch alloy wheel

circulated by P 215/40R 18 inch

performance tires. The shifter

has eco-shift technology so you

know when it’s time to shift to

the next gear up or down

depending on your speed.

Let me say once you are inside

the new Veloster you know it’s

time to get on down the road.

The racecar like interior layout

just screams out at you. Medal

trimmed pedals and fancy shifter

knob that just spells out race car

to you. Let me assure you we

had some jack rabbit starts in

this baby. But the most impor-

tant thing is people were looking

at it everywhere we went.

Even though you can have fun

taking off fast the new Veloster

still managed 26 miles per gal-

lon in the city and 38 on the

highway and average of 3.3 gal-

lons of fuel per 100 miles.

Both the engine and transmis-

sion are built in Korea and the

final assembly point is Ulsan,

Korea and so is 81% of this

vehicle’s part. I’d say it’s cer-

tainly safe to call this baby an

import with only 1% of its part

from the US or Canada.

Warranties for this new Hyundai

is five-year/60,000 mile new

vehicle warrant and ten-

year/100,000 mile power train

warranty with seven-year/unlim-

ited miles anti-perforation war-

rant with five year/unlimited

Roadside Assistance. It’s safe to

say Hyundai really backs this

baby with good quality numbers.

Safety technology is advanced

for the new Veloster with

Electronic Stability Control with

Traction Control and four-wheel

disc anti-locking brakes. Yes it

does have front side impact and

side curtain airbags and tire

pressure monitoring system also.

While strolling along you can

listen to your favorite sound on a

Dimension Premium Audio sys-

tem and external amp with sub-

woofer AM/FM/

Sirius XM/CD/MP3 with eight

speakers. Of course the Satellite

radio is 90-day free trial

Hyundai blue link telematics

system allows the driver to stay

connected by web or smart

phone app’ subscription

required. A seven inch multi-

media touch screen and electro-

luminescent gauge cluster and

trip computer makes you think

you are driving a space vehicle.

It is the opinion of this writer

this vehicle is a perfect blend of

fuel economy, stylist design and

highly rated technology.

In closing please allow me to

add the new Veloster also has

leather sealing surfaces and a

leather wrapped steering wheel

with controls for audio and cli-

mate. Let us not forget it is

wired by bluetooth and hands

free phone system!

Our King-Size Movers and

Shakers for the month of

October are Kenneth and Kelly

McCain. They are proprietors of

The Roots-Houston Hair Salon

located at 6310 Richmond

Avenue, in Houston, TX. Their

latest endeavor is a salon that is

staffed with trained & skilled

professionals providing high

quality services to their old and

new clients. Kenneth is the cre-

ative, resourceful side, Kelly has

her beauty license, so both have

been active in building other

businesses that were ultimately

sold to people interested in that

specific type of business. They

create marketable businesses

that gain the attention of individ-

uals who prefer not to start from

scratch. Now they are doing

that very same thing, but for

themselves as Sideline

Investment Projects. They are

venturing into Brand

Management with their The

BottomLine Products and

Services which will be launched

early next year. They previously

owned a successful Swimming

Pool Maintenance Company that

served neighborhoods through-

out the Houston and surrounding

areas, for seven years. Kenneth

also opened a home improve-

ment company that provided low

cost services for victims of our

last 4 major Hurricanes. Both of

which were sold.

Kenneth and Kelly are also

hands-on parents and their chil-

dren are always number one.

They teach their kids, the basics

of money management, princi-

ples of business, and the benefits

of hard work. Their 16 year-old

son Kenneth Jr. (known as

Fatboy) was featured 3 years

ago while an 8th grader at Alief

Middle School. He was playing

football at the time, but today,

has decided to put all focus and

effort into playing basketball.

Kenneth Sr. and Kenneth Jr.

along with Kenneth Jr.’s younger

brothers DeAndre (14-known as

Dre) & Kenneth III (12-known

as 3rd), have been up on count-

less Saturday early mornings, on

their way to basketball practice

with the legendary coach John

Lucas. Some mornings, their

daughter Kiana (10-known as

Pookat) is made to go as well.

All in all, when you look at

them you just know they are all

very close; they love each other,

as well as themselves. They also

carry that same love and passion

into business; they employ only

professionals who go that extra

mile to be the best and make

The Roots-Houston synonymous

with service and style.

The 2013 Acura RDX is more

American these days and the

record clearly showed that to be

a fact. To start with the final

assembly point is East Liberty

Ohio with the engine and trans-

mission both built right here in

the USA. The 273 horse pow-

ered 3.5 Liter SOHC 24-valve I-

VETC VCM II V6 engine is

mated to a six-speed automatic

transmission with sequential

sports-shift. It reportedly gets

100 miles on every 4.5 gallons

of fuel. That computes to 19

MPH in the city and 27 on the

highway and under normal driv-

ing you would be expected to

spend roughly $2600 on fuel

each year. Only 15% of the

Acura parts come from Japan

with more than 65% coming

from US/Canadian parts suppli-

ers. This makes the vehicle

nearly All-American. At the time

of our test run the vehicle had

not been rated by the NHTSA so

we will get those numbers for

you later.

Handling is special for the Acura

RDX due to the AWD with intel-

ligent control and four-wheel

disc brakes makes stopping just

as much fun as starting.

Macpherson Struts front suspen-

sion and rear multi-link suspen-

sion and electric power assisted

rack and pinion steering simply

adds to the smooth operation.

When it comes to safety the new

RDX is built with your safety in

mind. Driver and front passenger

dual stage airbags and driver and

front passenger side air bates

with side curtains bags with

rollover sensors. A vehicle sta-

bility assist and anti-lock brakes

system with electronic brake dis-

tribution and brake assist adds to

the stopping safety even from

high rates of speed. Daytime

running lamps and latch system

for child seats are just a couple

more safety features on the new

Acura RDX AWD.

Tire monitoring system and

three-point seat belts plus side

impact door beams help to round

out the safety features.

Once you are inside you are

greeted to a normal Acura interi-

or commonly known for easy to

reach knobs and gauges that are

easy to read. Leather trimmed

sports seats and XM satellite

radio/MP3/Auxiliary input jacks

with USB audio interface with

push button ignition. A driver

10-way memory and four-way

front passenger seat and even

heated front seats. A home link

system and Bluetooth hands free

link system plus steering wheel-

mounted controls combined with

power windows and door locks

including front auto up/down

windows.

Power moon roof with tilt fea-

ture gives you a view of the

stars while 18 inch 7.5 Alloy

wheels roll smoothly circulated

by P235/60R 18 inch all-season

tires. Even the power door mir-

rors are heated with turn signal

indicators adding to the overall

safety outlook of this new

Acura.

Warranties include six

year/70,000 mile power train

warranty with four year/50,000

mile limited vehicle warranty,

plus a full tank of gas. The

vehicle comes with three-months

free XM radio and real time traf-

fic and weather service.

By the way tech package include

the Acura navigation system

with voice recognition and

multi-view rear camera along

with Acura-link communication

system with real-time traffic and

weather in selected markets.

The new Acura ELS Surround

Sound System with 10 speakers

and AM/FM/DVD/CD/DTC

with Dolby Pro Logic II.

Complete with Hard disk drive

GPS-linked Dual zone auto cli-

mate control with air filtration

system, power tail gate, Xenon

HID headlights and Fog lights as

well.


add the new Acura RDX came

in at just over $40,00 but after

our week long test we found it

to be worth every cent of it!

The Houston National Cemetery(HNC), often called theVeteran’s Cemetery, is locatedjust south of Beltway 8 andVeterans Memorial Drive. It isabout 15 miles from downtownHouston. Although I generallyhate cemeteries, I truly enjoy theserenity of these sacred grounds.

The Houston VeteransAdministration Cemetery wasdedicated Dec. 7, 1965. It wasthe only government cemeteryconstructed in the United Statesduring the 1960s.

The present-day HoustonNational Cemetery was thelargest of its kind at the time ofconstruction. Designed entirelyby VA staff, it was also the onlynew VA cemetery not located onthe grounds of a VA hospital.Prior to Houston’s opening, thelast VA cemetery establishedwas at Eagle Point VA MedicalCenter, Ore., in 1952. Thelargest VA cemeteries at the timewere in Los Angeles at 114.47acres, and Leavenworth, Kan., at113.15 acres. At 419.2 acres, theHouston facility was slightlysmaller than the 450 acres or soof Arlington National Cemetery,to which it was compared.

Houston became a nationalcemetery in 1973 after the pas-sage of the National CemeteryAct and is the second largestNational cemetery in the conti-nental United States.

At the approximate center of thecemetery is the Hemicycle. It islargest memorial and the mostvisible structure on the land-scape. It is the only NCA-man-aged hemicycle memorial and isone of only three known hemi-cycles located in national ceme-teries. The others are located atArlington National Cemetery,Va., operated by the U.S. Army,and at Manila AmericanCemetery and Memorial in thePhilippines, operated by theAmerican Battle MonumentsCommission.

At the keystone, or center, of thehemicycle are the chapel, caril-lon and speaker’s stand. DavidParsons, a professor of art atRice University, sculpted a 20’ x6’ bas relief of three interlockingforms—a fallen soldier support-ed by two comrades. The sculp-ture, made of crushed quartz,was installed at the chapelentrance in 1965. The 75-foottower, 305-bell, Schulmerich“Americana” carillon was dedi-cated May 30, 1970. The

Hemicycle is a meeting place formemorial events. There are sev-eral stone stairwells that lead tothe top floor for a spectacularview of the grounds and lakes.

Another unique feature of theHNC is that it is a protectedwetland. It is designed andmaintained to provide greenspace to the creatures that call ithome. It is designed to abatefloods and enhance water quali-ty. The natural grasses and wild-flowers change colors and tex-tures throughout the year andprovide a living landscape forvisitors to enjoy.

Interment services are performedat one of three CommitmentService Shelters. Remains aretransported there from the funer-al home or other serviceprovider and the ceremony isheld at a time scheduled by theCemetery. The actual internmentis done at a later time and familymembers are not allowed to bepresent and ceremonies are notpermitted.

Originally, HNC placed granitemarkers at each grave with thename of the deceased, theirdated of birth and death, branchof service and rank. As thebudget permits, these markersare being replaced with aboveground tombstones. The sameinformation is on the stones andthey make a very dramatic andinspiring site.

If you have a loved one atHouston National Cemetery, youcan easily locate them at thegrave locater just inside theentrance. Maps are provided andit is fairly easy to locate thegrave site.

Notable persons buried at HNCinclude:

First Lieutenant Raymond L.Knight, (World War II), U.S.

Army Air Corps. Northern PoValley, Italy, on April 25, 1945.His remains were relocated toHouston National Cemetery onApril 25, 1992.

Staff Sergeant Marcario Garcia,(World War II), U.S. Army,Company B, 22nd Infantry, 4thInfantry Division. Grosshau,Germany, Nov. 27, 1944. (Note:I met SSG Garcia shortly beforehis death and have an auto-graphed copy of his book, TheLast Medal of Honor.)

Captain James H. Fields, (WorldWar II), U.S. Army, 10thArmored Infantry, 4th ArmoredDivision. Near Rechicourt,France, Sept. 27, 1944.

First Sergeant David H.McNerney, (Vietnam), U.S.Army, Company A, 1stBattalion, 8th Infantry, 4thInfantry Division. Polei Doc,Republic of Vietnam, March 22,1967.

Perhaps the most renowned vet-eran buried in the cemetery isthe late Honorable AlbertThomas, United StatesCongressman from Texas.Congressman Thomas served asa Lieutenant in the U.S. Armyduring World War I, and servedalmost 30 years in the U.S.House of Representatives. Hewas instrumental in getting thiscemetery established byCongress. "CongressmanAlbert," as his many friendsknew him, died in Washington,D.C., on Feb. 15, 1966, and wasburied in the mall area of theHouston National Cemetery, onFeb. 18, 1966.

On my Patriot Guard rides weoften provide flag lines at funer-als at HNC. As time permits, Iwalk around the lakes andabsorb the tranquility of thegrounds. Sometimes I will stopat a stone and read the name ofthe deceased. It gives me greatpeace to know that a man orwoman that served our nationcan rest in this beautiful ground.In fact, I have already notifiedmy family that I wish to beburied here when the timecomes.

Thanksgiving:There are many in the religiousworld today having FUN; hav-ing HOLIDAY feasts, parties,drinks, just having a merry goodtime (REVELLI�G). We aresure some if not most would ask,what’s wrong with that? There isnothing wrong with it accordingto our FLESH, actually it isFU�! But according to Christand his apostles, to our SPIRITit is a vexation, to our SOUL itis damnation John12:24-26,because the FLESH cannotplease GOD. The CARNALMIND is hatred against GODand is not SUBJECT to theLAW of GOD. Thereby, not hav-ing the Spirit of Christ(antichrist), please read;Rom.8:1-10; Gal.5:16-25;Phil.3:16-20; Titus3:8-11. Foreven when the, “Holiday” sea-son starts, what is truly thoughtof the most? Is it Christ or is itthe time off, the fleshly familygatherings, the glutinous foodsand drinks, the carnal games,the vain carnal trees and deco-rations, and or the materialistic“gifts”? According to scriptureour thoughts cannot be of Christ,when the things that we areobserving and or doing, CAN-NOT be found in HIS instruc-tions to HIS BODY, the Church(Matt.17:1-8; Matt.28:18-20;John17:16-23; 2Cor.1:12-14;Eph.3:1-7; 2Pet.3:1-2; 1John4:5-6). But rather are the things thatgoes against Christ, therebyDENYING HIM and hisFATHER, (ANTICHRIST)(Isa.29:11-14; Matt.15:7-9;Mark. 7:6-9; Luke 6:43-49;1John2:15-26; 2John1:7-13).Let your conversation be ONLYabout the ONE thing that isNEEDFUL; Christ, the scrip-tures, and soul salvation while atthese gatherings, and see howpopular you will be (Philp.1:27;1Tim.4:11 -16; 1Pet.1:13-19;2Pet.3:8-12). Take the carnal,fleshly wants of man out of theequation; there would be noobservance of these CARNALdays that Christ has notauthorized, to those that are his.The proof is in the pudding; ourGOD is truly our BELLYbecause it seems as though noth-ing in this WORLD, includingthe Religious World, can beobserved without carnal foods,and or our carnal/ fleshly wants.“Luke 10:38 Now it came topass, as they went, that heentered into a certain village:and a certain woman namedMartha received him into herhouse. 39 And she had a sistercalled Mary, which also sat atJesus’ feet, and heard hisword. 40 But Martha was cum-bered about much serving, andcame to him, and said, Lord,dost thou not care that my sisterhath left me to serve alone? bidher therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered andsaid unto her, Martha, Martha,thou art careful and troubledabout many things: 42 But onething is needful: and Mary hathchosen that good part, whichshall not be taken away fromher.” “Phil 3:16 Nevertheless,whereto we have alreadyattained, let us walk by thesame rule, let us mind the samething. 17 Brethren, be followerstogether of me, and mark themwhich walk so as ye have us foran ensample. 18 (For manywalk, of whom I have told youoften, and now tell you evenweeping, that they are the ene-mies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whoseGod is their belly, and whoseglory is in their shame, who(1)mind earthly things.) 20 Forour conversation is in heaven;from whence also we look forthe Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist:”

Definition: (1)MI�D EARTH-LY THINGS -from 5424; toexercise the mind, i.e. entertain;by implication, to be (mentally)disposed; intensively, to interestoneself in (with concern orobedience): KJV— set theaffection on, (be like-, + be ofone, + be of the same, + let this)mind (-ed), regard, savour,think.

Please listen to what Jesus toldthe multitude; “John 6:26 Jesusanswered them and said, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Ye seekme, not because ye saw the mir-acles, but because ye did eat ofthe loaves, and were filled. 27Labour not for the meat whichperisheth, but for that meatwhich endureth unto everlastinglife, which the Son of man shallgive unto you: for him hath Godthe Father sealed.” For those thatwere to be invited to a feast,Jesus Christ left instructions.Now this is also an example ofTRUE GIFT giving, andChristians MUST be of theTRUTH, John17:16-17. Notethe definition of GIFT (g¹ft) n.1. Something that is bestowedvoluntarily and WITHOUT (1)compensation. - 1. To offset;counterbalance. 2. To make sat-isfactory payment or reparationto; recompense or reimburse.

“Luke 14:12 Then said he alsoto him that bade him, When thoumakest a dinner or a supper, callnot thy friends, nor thy brethren,neither thy kinsmen, nor thy richneighbours; lest they also bidthee again, and a recompencebe made thee. 13 But when thoumakest a feast, call the poor, themaimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; forthey cannot (2)recompense thee:for thou shalt be recompensedat the resurrection of the just.”

Definitions: (2) for they cannotrecompence thee-468antapodoma-the thing paid back,requital; 467 antapodidomi (an-tap-od-ee’-do-mee): KJV— rec-ompense, render, repay.

If these instructions were fol-lowed, the so-calledThanksgiving, Christmas andEaster FEASTS would not existwith those professing Christ.Christians are to give to theneedy always, not on some dayput in place by man, the crea-ture, please read: (Matt.5:38-48; Luke 6:27-36; Acts20:29-35;Rom.12:9-21; Gal.2:9-10; 6:9-10; Eph.4:28; Phil.2:1-8. Then,we would be following theinstructions of God, theCreator, through Christ, and hisapostles. But many choose NOTto follow these and many otherinstructions left by Christ. Whyis this; is it because of the lackof knowledge or just beingrebellious, because of what welike, (our BELLIES)? “Matt22:29 Jesus answered and saidunto them, Ye do err, not know-ing the scriptures, nor thepower of God.” “Luke 6:46And why call ye me, Lord,Lord, and do not the thingswhich I say? 47 Whosoevercometh to me, and heareth mysayings, and doeth them, I willshew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built anhouse, and digged deep, and laidthe foundation on a rock: andwhen the flood arose, the streambeat vehemently upon thathouse, and could not shake it:for it was founded upon a rock.”Luke 16:13 No servant canserve two masters: for either hewill hate the one, and love theother; or else he will hold to theone, and despise the other. Yecannot serve God and mammon.14 And the Pharisees also, whowere covetous, heard all thesethings: and they derided him.And he said unto them, Ye arethey which justify yourselvesbefore men; but God knowethyour hearts: for that which ishighly esteemed among men isabomination in the sight ofGod.

Now here is a day that is amongmany others, that is HighlyEsteemed among MEN, and hasbeen set up by man for hisBELLY, the things that heLIKES. Note the origin of thisday; “The Thanksgiving holidayhas its origin in the PuritanThanksgivings of colonial NewEngland. Both the Pilgrims ofPlymouth and the BostonPuritans were strict CalvinistProtestants.” “Cal·vin·ism) n.The religious doctrines of JohnCalvin, emphasizing theomnipotence of God and the sal-vation of the elect by God’s

grace alone.” Please check thecomplete history of this tradi-tion, and you will find it NOTbeing at all CHRIST LIKE. Aswe have read, this tradition cameMUCH too late to be of Christor his apostles. Here again is theproblem; it follows not theinstruction given by Christ(Luke14:12-14; Rom.12:16).There is no need for man to setup such, not for a Christianbecause; the instructions for giv-ing thanks has already been setby THE WORD, and it isPerfect and Complete. The CRE-ATOR needs NO help from theCREATURE (Rom.1:25). Thecreature MUST OBEY and fol-low the instructions alreadygiven, IF we are to be followersof CHRIST through his apostles,(Christians). Christians mustabound in thanksgiving 24/7,and give thanks when ever weeat, according to the apostles’word, not on some day given byman. Christianity is not SEA-SONAL, but a 24/7LIFESTYLE, and according toscripture ALL THI�GS MUSTbe done with thanksgiving. Thestatement, “salvation of the electby God’s grace alone,” is �OTaccording to scripture; thereforeit is ERROR and is dangerous!According to scripture, we aresaved by grace, but NOT graceALONE. We are saved by manythings, grace being one, baptismand the obedience of the WORDbeing another, which is anotherlesson, but for now please read(James1:21-27; 1Pet.3:20-22).As we start this study please getyour Bible, and pay close atten-tion to all scriptures and all defi-nitions.

2 Cor 4:13 We having the samespirit of faith, according as it iswritten, I believed, and there-fore have I spoken; we alsobelieve, and therefore speak; 14Knowing that he which raisedup the Lord Jesus shall raise upus also by Jesus, and shall pres-ent us with you. 15 For allthings are for your sakes, thatthe abundant grace mightthrough the thanksgiving ofmany redound to the glory ofGod. 16 For which cause wefaint not; but though our out-ward man perish, yet the inwardman is renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which isbut for a moment, worketh forus a far more exceeding and

We MUST believe on Christthrough the words of theApostles, according to Christhimself John17:20-21, and con-tinue steadfast in the apostles’doctrine as those before us (Acts1:1-4; Acts2:41-42), this isSAFE. Why must we always dothe things to please the fleshrather than God? HIS Son didNOT: “1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuchthen as Christ hath suffered forus in the flesh, arm yourselveslikewise with the same mind:for he that hath suffered in theflesh hath ceased from sin; 2That he no longer should livethe rest of his time in the fleshto the lusts of men, but to thewill of God. 3 For the time pastof our life may suffice us tohave wrought the will of theGentiles, when we walked inlasciviousness, lusts, excess ofwine, revellings, banquetings,and abominable idolatries: 4Wherein they think it strangethat ye run not with them to thesame excess of riot, speakingevil of you:” Christians MUSTdeny themselves as CHRISTdid, and follow Him; hating ourlives here (John 12:24-26), bycrucifying and mortifying theflesh, according to God throughChrist and his apostles. There befew that are willing to SUFFERand FOLLOW THE WORD,which is Christ, (the narrowway), but there are many thatchoose to follow traditions andcommandments of men, (thebroad way), rather then Christand his apostles, please read;Matt 7:13 Enter ye in at thestrait gate: for wide is the gate,and broad is the way, that lead-eth to destruction, and manythere be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, andnarrow is the way, which leadethunto life, and few there be thatfind it. 15 Beware of falseprophets, which come to you insheep’s clothing, but inwardlythey are ravening wolves. 16 Yeshall know them by their fruits.Do men gather grapes of thorns,or figs of thistles? “Mark 8:33But when he had turned aboutand looked on his disciples, herebuked Peter, saying, Get theebehind me, Satan: for thou(1)savourest not the things thatbe of God, but the things that beof men. 34 And when he hadcalled the people unto him withhis disciples also, he said untothem, Whosoever will come

Rom 8:5 For they that are afterthe flesh do mind the things ofthe flesh; but they that are afterthe Spirit the things of the Spirit.6 For to be carnally minded isdeath; but to be spirituallyminded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind isenmity against God: for it is notsubject to the law of God, nei-ther indeed can be. 8 So thenthey that are in the flesh cannotplease God. 9 But ye are not inthe flesh, but in the Spirit, if sobe that the Spirit of God dwellin you. Now if any man havenot the Spirit of Christ, he isnone of his. 10 And if Christ bein you, the body is dead becauseof sin; but the Spirit is lifebecause of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him thatraised up Jesus from the deaddwell in you, he that raised upChrist from the dead shall alsoquicken your mortal bodies byhis Spirit that dwelleth in you.12 Therefore, brethren, we aredebtors, not to the flesh, to liveafter the flesh. 13 For if ye liveafter the (1)flesh, ye shall die:but if ye through the Spirit (2)domortify the deeds of the body,ye shall live. 14 For as many asare led by the Spirit of God, theyare the sons of God.(KJV)

Definition:(1)Crucified theflesh-4717 stauroo-b) metaphor-ically, to crucify the flesh,destroy its power utterly (thenature of the figure implyingthat the destruction is attendedwith intense pain)

The scriptures teach that amongmany works of the flesh, REV-ELLING is one of them, andthat those participating in it orany such like, shall not inheritthe kingdom of God. As we startthis study, please as always, payclose attention to all scripturesand all definitions of words. Webelieve this will allow a betterunderstanding of why TRUEChristians, i.e. followers ofChrist through His apostles, can-not and must not Party; therebymaking them right, righteouswith God.

1 Tim 5:23 Drink no longer

water, but use a little wine for

thy stomach’s sake and thine

According to scripture,

Christians MUST not live by the

flesh anymore. Christians MUST

put on Christ in baptism and

KEEP him on, thereby putting

on the new man, and that NEW

man MUST be a SPIRITUAL

one (Rom.8:5-9; Gal.3:27). For

when we choose to take Christ

OFF for our Belly’s sake (flesh-

ly wants); we then become that

old fleshly man, and we SIN.

We all have kinsmen in the

flesh, but Christians MUST

remember who their family truly

is. The SPIRITUAL family

reunion is set on each Lord’s

Day (Acts20:1-7), and it must

be attended (Heb.10:25). Jesus

said….. “Who is my mother or

my brethren, (Matt.12:47-50 &

Mark3:32-35)?” If we are to be

of Christ’s family, we MUST

follow HIM. For all have not

obeyed the gospel; Matt 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and

narrow is the way, which leadeth

unto life, and few there be that

find it. Rom 8:9 But ye are not

in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if

so be that the Spirit of God

dwell in you. Now if any man

have not the Spirit of Christ, he

is none of his.Rom 10:16 But

they have not all obeyed the

gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,

who hath believed our report?

17 So then faith cometh by hear-

ing, and hearing by the word of

God. (See also James1:21-25)

Matt 12:46 While he yet talked

to the people, behold, his mother

and his brethren stood without,

desiring to speak with him. 47

Then one said unto him, Behold,

thy mother and thy brethren

stand without, desiring to speak

with thee. 48 But he answered

and said unto him that told him,

Who is my mother? and who are

my brethren? 49 And he

stretched forth his hand toward

his disciples, and said, Behold

my mother and my brethren! 50

For whosoever shall do the will

of my Father which is in heaven,

the same is my brother, and sis-

ter, and mother.(KJV)

Christians are not to have any

fellowship with the unfruitful

works of darkness but, rather

reprove them (2Cor.6:14-18;

7:1-3; Eph.5:6-11). Christians

can’t have it our way, we must

do it Christ’s way, because we

are NOT our own, we have been

bought with a price (1Cor.6:20;

7:23).

Rom 13:14 But put ye on the

Lord Jesus Christ, and make not

provision for the flesh, to fulfil

the lusts thereof. (see also Rom

13:11-13)

1 Cor 10: 20 But I say, that the

things which the Gentiles sacri-

fice, they sacrifice to devils, and

not to God: and I would not that

ye should have fellowship with

devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the

cup of the Lord, and the cup

of devils: ye cannot be partakers

of the Lord’s table, and of the

table of devils. 22 Do we pro-

voke the Lord to jealousy? are

we stronger than he? (KJV)

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk

in the Spirit, and ye shall not

fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17

For the flesh lusteth against the

Spirit, and the Spirit against the

flesh: and these are contrary

the one to the other: so that ye

cannot do the things that ye

would.(see also Gal 5:25)

(KJV)

Eph 4:17 This I say therefore,

and testify in the Lord, that ye

henceforth walk not as other

Gentiles walk, in the vanity of

their mind, 18 Having the

understanding darkened, being

alienated from the life of God

through the ignorance that is in

them, because of the blindness

of their heart: 19 Who being

past feeling have given them-

selves over unto lasciviousness,

to work all uncleanness with

greediness. 20 But ye have not

so learned Christ; 21 If so be

that ye have heard him, and have

been taught by him, as the truth

is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off

concerning the former conversa-

tion the old man, which is cor-

rupt according to the deceitful

lusts; 23 And be renewed in the

spirit of your mind; 24 And that

ye put on the new man, which

after God is created in righteous-

ness and true holiness. (see also

Eph 4:1-3)

Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive

you with vain words: for

because of these things cometh

the wrath of God upon the chil-

dren of disobedience. 7 Be not

ye therefore partakers with

them. 8 For ye were sometimes

darkness, but now are ye light in

the Lord: walk as children of

light: 9 (For the fruit of the

Spirit is in all goodness and

righteousness and truth;) 10

Proving what is acceptable unto

the Lord. 11 And have no fel-

lowship with the unfruitful

works of darkness, but rather

reprove them.

Contrary to what is being taught

in the religious world today,

EARTH is a Christians’ WORK

place (Philip2:5-16), there is no

time for FUN (horseplay),

Christians MUST redeem the

time (Eph.5:14-17). Christianity

is a SERIOUS LIFESTYLE, and

there is nothing more serious

than it; in that it is about either

having eternal life in HEAVEN,

or eternal death and torment in

HELL (Matt. 12:34-37;

Mark9:43-48; Luke16:19-25;

Heb.10:24-31). If Christ and

those before us SUFFERED not

to participate in such things,

why do “Christians” today think

they have the right not to suffer?

True Christians today must

SUFFER also, we MUST suffer

to be obedient and follow those

before us, so that we can cease

from sin (Philip.1:29; Heb.5:8-

9; 1 Pet 4:1-4). Here are some

more scriptural instructions

given for The Christian

Lifestyle, TRUE Christians

MUST focus and meditate on

these and such like, to be right

(righteous) with God, through

Christ and his apostles.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me,

Lord, Lord, and do not the

things which I say?(see also

Matt.7:15-27)

John 12:25 (1)He that loveth

his life shall lose it; and (2)he

that hateth his life in this world

shall keep it unto life eternal. 26

If any man serve me, let him

follow me; and where I am,

there shall also my servant be: if

any man serve me, him will my

Father honour.(KJV)

Definitions:(1)He that loveth-

5368 phileo (fil-eh’-o); from

sonal attachment, as a matter of

less: KJV— hate (-ful).

Rom 12:1 I beseech you there-

fore, brethren, by the mercies

of God, that ye present your

bodies a living sacrifice, holy,

acceptable unto God, which is

your reasonable service. 2 And

be not conformed to this

world: but be ye transformed by

the renewing of your mind, that

ye may prove what is that good,

and acceptable, and perfect, will

of God. (KJV)



Rom 12:16 Be of the same

mind one toward another.

(1)Mind not high things, but

(2)condescend to men of (3)low

estate. Be not wise in your own

conceits. 17 Recompense to no

man evil for evil. Provide things

honest in the sight of all men. 18

If it be possible, as much as lieth

men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge

not yourselves, but rather give

(4)place unto wrath: for it is

written, Vengeance is mine; I

will repay, saith the Lord. 20

Therefore if thine enemy hunger,

feed him; if he thirst, give him

drink: for in so doing thou shalt

heap coals of fire on his head.

Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith,

Awake thou that sleepest, and

then that ye walk (1)circum-

gospel of Christ: that whether I

come and see you, or else be

absent, I may hear of your

affairs, that ye stand fast in one

spirit, with one mind striving

together for the faith of the

gospel; 28 And in nothing terri-

fied by your adversaries: which

is to them an evident token of

unto you it is given in the behalf

of Christ, not only to believe on

him, but also to suffer for his

sake;(KJV)

Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son,

things which he suffered; 9

And being made perfect, he

became the author of eternal sal-

vation unto all them that obey

him;

James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart

all filthiness and superfluity of

naughtiness, and receive with

meekness the engrafted word,

which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the

word, and not hearers only,

deceiving your own selves. 23

For if any be a hearer of the

word, and not a doer, he is like

unto a man beholding his natural

face in a glass: 24 For he

beholdeth himself, and goeth his

way, and straightway forgetteth

what manner of man he was. 25

But whoso looketh into the per-

fect law of liberty, and contin-

ueth therein, he being not a for-

getful hearer, but a doer of the

work, this man shall be blessed

in his deed. (KJV)

James 1:27 Pure religion and

undefiled before God and the

Father is this, To visit the father-

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it

hath not works, is dead, being

alone. 18 Yea, a man may say,

Thou hast faith, and I have

works: shew me thy faith with-

out thy works, and I will shew

thee my faith by my works. 19

Thou believest that there is one

God; thou doest well: the devils

also believe, and tremble. 20

But wilt thou know, O vain man,

that faith without works is

dead? (KJV)

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and

I Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his

word, in him verily is the love of

God perfected: hereby know we

that we are in him. 6 He that

saith he abideth in him ought

himself also so to walk, even as

he walked. (KJV)

I Jn 2:15 (1)Love not the

world, neither the things that

are in the (2)world. If any man

love the world, the (3)love of the

Father is not in him. 16 For all

that is in the world, the lust of

the flesh, and the lust of the

eyes, and the pride of life, is not

of the Father, but is of the

world. 17 And the world passeth

away, and the lust thereof: but

he that doeth the will of God

abideth for ever. 18 Little chil-

dren, it is the last time: and as ye

have heard that antichrist shall

come, even now are there many

antichrists; whereby we know

that it is the last time. 19 They

went out from us, but they were

not of us; for if they had been of

us, they would no doubt have

continued with us: but they went

out, that they might be made

manifest that they were not all

of us. 20 But ye have an unction

from the Holy One, and ye know

all things. 21 I have not written

unto you because ye know not

the truth, but because ye know

it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that deni-

eth that Jesus is the Christ? He

is (4)antichrist, that (5)denieth

the Father and the Son. 23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the

same hath not the Father: (but)

he that acknowledgeth the Son

hath the Father also. 24 Let that

therefore abide in you, which ye

have heard from the beginning.

If that which ye have heard from

the beginning shall remain in

you, ye also shall continue in the

Son, and in the Father. 25 And

this is the promise that he hath

promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written

unto you concerning them that

(6)seduce you.(KJV)

(3)the love of the Father is not

TRUE Christians, i.e. followers

of God, through Christ and his

apostles, do not have any exam-

ple of those before us having

EARTHLY, CARNAL, SECU-

LAR fun, joys, pleasures, par-

ties, and revellings or any such

things. But rather, we have been

warned against such. Note the

examples of the joys and pleas-

ures of Christians before us;

they are NOT EARTHLY, CAR-

NAL, SECULAR ones, thereby

following the instructions of

JESUS CHRIST THE SAVOUR,

(John 12:24-26). These are the

same ones TRUE Christians

must follow, to be right “right-

eous” with GOD through Christ

and his apostles:

Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I

go bound in the spirit unto

Jerusalem, not knowing the

things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost

witnesseth in every city, saying

that bonds and afflictions abide

me. 24 But none of these things

move me, neither count I my

life dear unto myself, so that I

might finish my course with joy,

and the ministry, which I have

received of the Lord Jesus, to

testify the gospel of the grace of

God. (see also Rom 5:10-11;

Rom 14:17-18; Rom 15:13;

Rom 15:32-33)

2 Cor 12:10 Therefore I take

pleasure in infirmities, in

reproaches, in necessities, in

persecutions, in distresses for

Christ’s sake: for when I am

weak, then am I strong.(see also

Eph 1:5; Phil 1:3-6; Phil 1:25)

Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that

ye be likeminded, having the

same love, being of one accord,

of one mind.(see also1Thes 1:6-

7; 2:19-20; 2Tim 1:4; Phil 4:1-

4; Phile 1:20; Heb 12:2-3 )



James 1:2 My brethren, count

it all joy when ye fall into

divers temptations; 3 Knowing

this, that the trying of your faith

worketh patience. (see also

James 5:7-8)

1 Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it not

strange concerning the fiery trial

which is to try you, as though

some strange thing happened

unto you: 13 But rejoice, inas-

much as ye are partakers of

Christ’s sufferings; that, when

his glory shall be revealed, ye

may be glad also with exceeding

joy.(KJV)

II Jn 1:3 Grace be with you,

mercy, and peace, from God the

Father, and from the Lord Jesus

Christ, the Son of the Father, in

truth and love. 4 I rejoiced

greatly that I found of thy chil-

dren walking in truth, as we

have received a commandment

from the Father.(KJV)

3 Jn 1:1 The elder unto the

wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love

in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish

above all things that thou mayest

prosper and be in health, even as

thy soul prospereth. 3 For I

rejoiced greatly, when the

brethren came and testified of

the truth that is in thee, even as

thou walkest in the truth. 4 I

have no greater joy than to hear

that my children walk in

truth.(KJV)

We believe that there are some

that perceive, understand and

even believe these truths; but

because of different reasons, do

not choose to accept them. We

believe that weakness maybe

one reason. We also believe that

such ones might ask these ques-

tions: “How can I tell my wife,

husband, children, or friends?”

“How can I tell my father, moth-

er, or kindred, that these are

truths?” The question should be:

“How can a Christian, i.e. fol-

lower of Christ, not tell the truth

to all (the truth being the

WORD)”, John17:16-17?

Followers of Christ through his

apostles MUST tell the TRUTH

at all times, for no lie is of the

truth, and there is no lie in

Christ, James 3:14; 1John 1:5-

10 and 2:21-29. Christians must

be strong in the faith, not in a

faith, and have been instructed

to quit like men. “1 Cor 16:13

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,

(1)quit you like men, be

strong.” Warning, for being

timid, “fearful”; cause damna-

tion. “Rev 21:8 But the (2)fear-

ful, and unbelieving, and the

abominable, and murderers, and

whoremongers, and sorcerers,

and idolaters, and all liars, shall

have their part in the lake which

burneth with fire and brimstone:

which is the second death.”

Definitions: (1)quit you like

men-407 andrizomai (an-drid’-

zom-ahee);middle voice from

435; to act manly, 2) to show

oneself a man, be brave: KJV—

quit like men. (2)fearful 1169

deilos-timid, fearful

We believe that pride may be

another reason for the refusal of

the truth, in that we don’t like

admitting that we have been

wrong. Jesus said that pride,

among other things is evil, and

defileth the man, see Mark

7:20-23; Mark 9:43-48. This is

true because first, and most of

all Jesus said it. Secondly, when

it hinders one from saving his

own soul and the souls of others,

by not admitting the truth by the

word, can anything be more

evil? Remember, among other

things the WORD is profitable

for correction: 2 Tim 3:16 All

scripture is given by inspiration

of God, and is profitable for

doctrine, for reproof, for correc-

tion, for instruction in righteous-

ness: 17 That the man of God

may be perfect, throughly fur-

nished unto all good works. We

must not be too proud to accept

the WORD; after all it is Christ

John1:1-18, and it is what will

judge us in the last day

John12:46-50. We must change

our minds and then our ways if

we want to be SAVED,

“Repent” Mark 9:43-48; Rom.

12:1-2; 2Pet.3:8-18.

Then the scriptures tells us of

the few that will find and accept

the WORD, and the many that

will not accept it because of

being blinded by the god of this

world, “the Devil”; Matt.7:13-

29 and 22:14; “2 Cor 4:1

Therefore seeing we have this

ministry, as we have received

mercy, we faint not; 2 But have

renounced the hidden things of

dishonesty, not walking in crafti-

ness, nor handling the word of

God deceitfully; but by manifes-

tation of the truth commending

ourselves to every man’s con-

science in the sight of God. 3

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid

to them that are lost: 4 In whom

the god of this world hath

blinded the minds of them which

believe not, lest the light of the

glorious gospel of Christ, who is

the image of God, should shine

unto them. 5 For we preach not

ourselves, but Christ Jesus the

Lord; and ourselves your ser-

vants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God,

who commanded the light to

shine out of darkness, hath

shined in our hearts, to give the

light of the knowledge of the

glory of God in the face of Jesus

Christ.” (See also Luke 4:1-13;

1John5:19-21; Rev.12:9 and

13:6-9)

1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come

that judgment must begin at the

house of God: and if it first

begin at us, what shall the end

be of them that obey not the

gospel of God? 18 And if the

(1)righteous (2)scarcely be

saved, where shall the ungodly

and the sinner appear? 19

Wherefore let them that suffer

according to the will of God

commit the keeping of their

souls to him in well doing, as

unto a faithful Creator.

Definitions: (1)righteous-1342

dikaios-righteous, observing

divine laws. (2)scarcely be

saved -3433 molis (mol’-is);

probably by var. for 3425; with

difficulty, 2) not easily, very

rarely: KJV— hardly, scarce (-

ly), + with much work.

Dear reader, our hope is that you

would question those “Religious

Leaders” by the Apostles’ doc-

trine, that observe, and or

impose these unscriptural tradi-

tions upon you. Jesus Christ

said that the belief of him is in

the apostles’ word, so that we

ALL will be ONE (John17:14-

21; Acts1:1-4; 2:42) because he

gave them, the apostles the

Word, and they Kept IT,

(John17:5-10). Remember the

engrafted Word is also able to

save our souls if we are doers of

it and not hearers only (James

1:21-22). He that hath an ear,

let them hear and then strive to

do, if we are to be of the Church

that Christ is building (Acts

2:47).

Please remember as always, the

purpose of these articles is to

seek the TRUTH according to

the WORD, thereby exposing

ERROR, for the purpose of sav-

ing our souls. We believe this is

best done by definitions and the

Preponderance of

SCRIPTURES; which is having

superior weight, force, impor-

tance, or influence of Scripture.

Again we believe this allows

Scripture to Interpret Scripture,

thereby allowing a better under-

standing on that topic. Again,

thank you so much for your

interest in the WORD of

TRUTH; Grace and Salvation;

John 17:17-21; Acts 20:29-32;

James1:21-25. After all it is our

MAP to HEAVEN and away

from HELL!

Prairie View, Texas- With an

over flowing crowd of some-

where around 12,000 fans the

Panthers clawed their way past

Alcorn State 52-37. They also

withstood a 282 yard passing

effort from former Booker T.

Washington and Studewood

Cobras John Gibbs who plays

for Alcorn State these days. But

it was the near perfect passing of

former Lufkin quarterback

De’Auntre Smiley who burned

the Braves for 251 yards and

four touchdowns on 16 of 20

passing. He also added 31 more

yards on the ground and made

the Braves defense work double

duty.

Former Smiley High School

standout DeAndre Cooper

hauled in six passes for 95 yards

and one score. The well bal-

anced Panthers attack also saw

Jacoby Anderson grab two pass-

es for 51 yards and two touch-

downs. Even former Madison

Marlin Idowu Olantunde

grabbed a five yard scoring pass

from Smiley to end the Panthers

52 point day.

The day started as Gibbs pass

was caught but the receiver

failed to get his feet down in

bound and the field goal try was

blocked. The Panthers went back

up field and Spencer Nelson ran

26 yards for the first score of the

game. After a turn over, the

Panthers struck again when

Chris Barrick booted a 23 yard

field goal for a 10-0 lead.

Alcorn answered when Devon

Francois went 85 yards with a

fumble recovery to put the

Braves back in it. Then Smiley

went to work and found Jacoby

Anderson from 37 yards out and

a 17 to 7 advantage. The Braves

answered with a 24 yard field

goal from Ernesto Santillan only

to watch as Smiley hit Greg

Thurmond from 46 yards away

and a 24-10 halftime lead.

Fred Anderson opened the sec-

ond half scoring with a 15 yard

run for a score and Smiley

struck again this time to

Deandre Cooper from 50 yards

out and a commanding 39-10

lead. Right after that Terrence

Lewis broke free on a big 94

yard kickoff return and follow-

ing a turn over Nick Brooks

hauled in a 3 yard scoring pass

from Jordan Payne and it was

38-24. The Panthers got creative

as Spencer Nelson tossed and

option back pass to Nick

Shumaker from 19 yards out and

a 45-31 lead. But Smiley was

not finished yet he found former

Madison Marlin Idowu

Olantunde’ from 5 yards out.

Then Alcorn’s John Gibbs raced

12 yards for a score to end the

scoring at 52-37.

Once again it was great to be

upon the hill and all the color

that goes with black college

football.

As we roll into the playoffs for

the Studewood Cobras first year

player Jlesip Garcia is getting

into a groove. The 3rd grader at

John F. Kennedy has been thrust

into the center position on the

freshman Cobras and doing a

fine job.

In the classroom Jlesip made

three Bs and one C in the last

grading period and certainly

loves Math best. Crediting his

teacher with doing a fine job and

who says he really likes being in

her classroom.

The handsome lad is the son of

Maria and Ignacio Garcia and

they are members at Christ The

King Catholic Church. Maria is

a 2006 graduate of Booker T.

Washington High School. She

currently is working with the

Cobras and looking forward to

the playoffs. “I’ve always want-

ed to get Jlesip into football and

we are happy to have him out

with the Cobras”.

In his spare time Jlesip loves to

play basketball and the football

video games with his father and

they take turns winning.

When asked about his most driv-

ing force in life Jlesip said out-

side his parents, he really thinks

his teachers at JFK Elementary

are doing a fine job.

Adding he wouldn’t do anything

difference if he started over

again because in his mind he

had made the most of his oppor-

tunities in life.

On the subject of Barack Obama

becoming the first African

American President of the

U.S.A. Jlesip said he thinks its

just great and he too feels some-

day he can become the first

Hispanic American to be

President. He went on to say he

thinks President Obama is doing

a fine job and if he could vote

he would vote to give him a sec-

ond term.

In closing we asked Garcia to

describe himself and he stated

he is a guy who has plenty of

good looking hair on his head

and loves the Houston Texans

and the Studewood Cobras as his

two favorite football teams.

We are glad to have the Garcia

family out with the Cobras and

Jlesip won the crown of Prince

for the freshmen squad as he

tied with Cameron Daughtry in

fund raiser sells. Both will be

honored along with all the other

Cobras when they hold their

36th Annual Banquet December

2, 2012 at the Campbell Center!

DE’AUNTRE SMILEY-PV

Prairie View, Texas-On a day

when the Panthers needed a win

in the worse kind of way sopho-

more quarterback DeAuntre

Smiley did his thing. To the

tune of 16 of 20 for 251 yards

and four touchdowns and he

rushed for 31 more yards on five

carries. The Lufkin graduate

talked with us following the

game. Right off the bat he said

“Rest in Peace” for his late high

school coach John Outlaw who

passed away on December 23rd.

“Coach Outlaw was a very posi-

tive influence in my life and he

and I would talk for long periods

of time and he taught me to not

only be a good quarterback but a

good person as well”. The 6

feet 2 inch 225 pound quarter-

back made life rough for the

Braves defense all day long.

“They got to bring it to pull me

down once I get going, but

Alcorn came to play today and

we needed this win so we have

been working hard in practice

getting ready for them".

Thanks to his effort Smiley

shared SWAC Player of the

Week honors with teammate

kicker Chris Barrick who made

seven of eight extra points and

added two field goals in the win

over Alcorn State.

Smiley connected with four dif-

ferent receivers for his four

touchdowns; two to running

backs and two to receivers. Talk

about spreading the ball around,

this kid did it all on this fine day

for football upon the hill.

When you look at the youth on

this team you can see the

Panthers are building to be

strong in the very near future.

The big quarterback came into

his own when he rushed for 170

yards and passed for 398 and

threw four touchdowns in a 49-

29 come from behind win over

Southern University in the 3rd

Annual Shreveport Classic. The

sophomore from Lufkin is got it

going on these days and look for

more of the same as Panthers

win 3 straight.

JOSHUA SIMMONS-YATES

The 8th Annual Fiesta Booker-

Bryant Memorial Classic took

on a chill of more than one

accord. The Mighty Jack Yates

Lions battled the hard fighting

Booker T. Washington Eagles to

a scoreless tie at the end of one

period. Then senior

quarterbackJoshua Simmons

went to work with short passes

and getting the Lions in position

for the score. He then took mat-

ters in his own hands and scored

on a 22 yard gallop with 8.37

left in the second period. A little

less than three minutes follow-

ing a Washington turnover,

Simmons did his thing again

from one yard out. He also con-

nected on six of nine passes for

101 yards and added 23 more

yards on the ground. But in the

second period he strained his

ACL and spent the entire second

half on crutches but he had done

enough to lead the Lions to vic-

tory. “They say it’s strained and

I plan to have an MRI done in

the morning to see, but I sure

hope I can be back to help my

team in the playoffs. You can

rest assured Coach Ronald

Miller and the Lions staff have

their fingers crossed also.

Simmons credited Washington

with playing a tough game and

said the Lions had to have this

one after Washington edged

them a year ago 14-13 at

Delmar. “I knew we had to

come out strong in order to get

the jump on them because we

knew they would fight hard”. It

was their fifth district victory

leaving them at the top of the

District 23-3A.The win is the

Lions sixth in eight games this

year and they are going to need

Simmons services in their show-

down for the district title with

Kashmere. Victor Gaines is the

backup who also got to see

action in the games and is ready

just in case Simmons can’t go.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Time really does fly when

you’re having fun. Fact is Titus

Bryant is a sophomore second

year starter at Jack Yates center

position. Yes the former

Studewood Cobra who once

dominated the little league line

play on both sides of the ball is

now one of the leaders on the

Yates offensive line.

While playing in the 8th Annual

Fiesta Booker-Bryant Memorial

Classic he kept the Yates backs

free from Booker T. Washington

defenders all night long.

Titus is the grandson of former

Washington Coach James “Bear”

Bryant who coached the Eagles

to the University Interscholastic

League semi-final game in 1968.

That was the second year after

Texas High Schools integrated

in 1967. Bryant went on to

coach at Forest Brook where he

coached Chris Bias who passed

for five thousand yards in a sin-

gle season (1986) a record

which still stands today. Just

another note Bear also wrote a

book on “The Art of Passing”

helping influence other coaches

to pass the football more.

In talking with Titus we asked

what is it like to win the game

his grandfather is honor by. “It

makes me want to cry tears of

joy to think I’m playing in this

game and what a great coach my

grandfather must have been for

people to be still honoring him

today”. Born two years after

Bear passed away Titus never

got the pleasure of meeting his

grandfather but you can rest

assured his grandmother (Mrs.

Charlotte Bryant) has told him

plenty about the legendary

coach.

Back to the 13-3 win over the

Washington Eagles for the sec-

ond year starter at center, Bryant

added he feels if the Lions play

together and follow their coach-

ing instructions this team could

make a good run in the playoffs.

They will face Kashmere for the

district title next weekend and

then look forward to the playoffs

following their season finale

against old rival Jones. “We

kind of have it going for us after

our slow start and I truly feel we

are going to do well in post sea-

son play.


add Bryant is the first freshman

to start on the offensive line in

Jack Yates history and is taking

on more of a leadership role as

his career unfolds!

HEISHMA NORTHERN-PV

Prairie View, Texas-In his sec-

ond season as the head football

coach at P.V. Heishma Northern

is getting his team together.

Following their big 52-37 victo-

ry over Alcorn State University

in their Homecoming matchup

he was excited. “We told our

guys each game is the most

important game of the season

and it started with the win in

Dallas against Grambling State

University”. Northern and his

Panthers still can make the

SWAC title game with a run of

the table. “Oh we are just look-

ing forward to the game against

Southern in the Shreveport

Classic”.

We moved on to talk about the

Panthers game plan to deal with

freshman sensation John Gibbs.

“We didn’t want him to come

home and beat us so we tried to

keep him bottled up and certain-

ly we did not want him to run

and beat us”. The second year

coach went on to say the Braves

signal caller still got free for a

49 yard bomb and finished the

game with 282 yards passing. “I

felt the wind sort of affected the

way they wanted to throw the

football and they kept their pass-

es short and they made it better

for us to defend, but he still got

free a couple of times on us any-

way”.

Feeling his team is jelling at the

right time, Northern says the

Panthers are on the move and

things could work out for them

if they simply prepare one week

at a time. “We’ve got to take this

thing and work it just to play

one more good game and then

another one and so on. We can’t

afford to look ahead, our minds

are on Southern right now"!

RONALD MILLER-YATES

After working with Nathaniel

“Puddin” Jones for 18 years, the

past two years Ronald Miller has

found himself going against him.

Last year in the 7th Annual


Classic the Yates Lions fell to

the Booker T. Washington

Eagles 14-13. But Miller vowed

to get back at his old buddy and

he did this time around 13-3.

“We knew Washington's chances

of making the playoffs were all

but gone, but they still played

very hard and we want to com-

mend them on that”. Yates

scored twice in the second peri-

od and it was enough as they

turned back the Eagles on sever-

al drives and held them to a 48

yard field goal by Alejandro

Arambula. “We knew Booker T.

was going to play us hard so we

tried to get out front and hold

on, because they has always had

good talent and played us hard”.

After last year’s game Jones

forced Miller to wear a

Washington t-shirt from the


Classic and he couldn’t help but

show off his Yates t-shirt follow-

ing the game for our television

videos. “Yes the Fiesta Booker-

Bryant trophy is right where it

belongs with the Jack Yates

Lions”. But again on a serious

note the Lions had several key

players go down with injuries.

The Lions leading rusher Arthur

Lockett set out the second half

with a bump, but quarterback

Joshua Simmons who scored

both Lions touchdowns in the

second quarter spent the second

half on crutches on the sidelines.

But thanks to his 106 yards

passing and his 23 yards of rush-

ing including the game’s only

two touchdowns, he still man-

aged to win the most valuable

player award. “We have an MRI

scheduled for Joshua on tomor-

row and we are hoping for the

best”. It was good to see Miller

laughing and enjoying himself

after the game. The former two-

way player from Yates in the

early 70s has spent more than 35

years at the school. “We try and

conduct ourselves in the manner

which Coach Luther Booker

would have wanted us too”.

Miller played on the first Jack

Yates team coached by Booker

in 1971. “Coach Booker set a

standard for us to follow and we

are doing our best to stay along

those lines”.

COACHES OF THE WEEK-HEISHMA NORTHERN-PV - RONALD MILLER-YATESBy King Arthur Prayther

A King-Size View

PV Head CoachHeishma �orthern

FRED ANDERSON-PV

Prairie View, Texas-Sophomore

running back Fred Anderson led

all rushers with 103 yards and

scored one touchdown on a 15

yard gallop. It helped the

Panthers of P.V. beat Alcorn

State 52-37 to keep their SWAC

title hopes alive. Anderson in

his second season from Cypress

Woods High School is a solid

built 5 feet 9 inch 175 pound

back with good moves and

speed as well. “We just kept

making mistakes and Alcorn was

taking advantage of them, but

we finally got it all together and

held on to win the game”.

When asked if the Panthers

could run the table and make the

SWAC title game Anderson

thought first and then answered;

"Yes sir I feel we can if we sim-

ply continue to get better and

take this one game at a time”.

He went on to say the slow start

is behind the team now and the

win in Dallas against Grambling

was a plus for the team and they

are on the right track now. For

the record that’s the first time

P.V. has beaten Grambling State

in consecutive years since 1963

and 1964 under the late Billy

Nicks. “It was kind of up and

down for us for a while but once

we stop giving up the big plays

and got our offense going we

been playing better football”.

ALEJANDRO ARAMBUL

BTW

For what it’s worth for the third

time this season Alejandro

Arambula has helped the Booker

T. Washington Eagles avert the

shutout. It was his 48 yard field

goal in the fourth period that

accounted for the Eagles only

points in their 13-3 loss to the

Jack Yates Lions. The senior

kicker has a good strong leg and

a solid 4.0 G.P.A. in the class-

room at Washington and he is

certainly going to kick the ball

on the next level and perhaps

beyond. “I understand we don’t

have a kicking coach but I love

my coaches and teammates here

at Booker T. Washington

because we all work together”.

Just think if this kid could get

some training how good he

would be. The 8th Annual


Classic held at Barnett Stadium

on a cool brisk Friday night and

the Lions roared to a 13-0 lead

but failed to score in the second

half. This allowed the Eagles to

hang around and with Arambula

strong leg, the Eagles are always

good for 3, 6 or 9 points in a

game. Fact is the week before

in the Eagles loss to Kashmere,

Arambula boomed one from 50

yards or so to give the Eagles

their only sux points of the con-

test.

Without a doubt the big schools

should be looking at this kid

because he has proven over the

past three years he can get the

job done.

We will certainly be following

Arambula for the next two

games and we will have a stu-

dent of the week profile on him

later as well. But again we say

we know great when we see it

and this kid has got great poten-

tial and the colleges had better

take a good long look at this

kid!

Prairie View, Texas-My mind

quickly goes back to his little

league days when a tall skinny

kid came out to the Studewood

Cobras and was already 11 years

of age. Needless to say he was

certainly behind those who had

been out for football since they

were five and six years old. But

it mattered not because accord-

ing to Studewood Cobras varsity

coach Reggie Washington, John

Gibbs was special right from the

start. “King I had him only one

year and once we taught him to

roll out to get away from the

rush he was a near perfect quar-

terback for us”. Gibbs then

joined a summer track program

and worked on his speed and

even became a hurdler before

his high school career was over.

After that he was super in mid-

dle school and by the time he

was in the 9th grade at Booker

T. Washington Senior High

School he had developed leader-

ship skills and was ready to lead

his team each time he took to

the field. Former BTW standout

defensive line Dr. Victor Keys

came back from a freshman

game and told me this Gibbs

kids is great and he is going to

do well for BTW in the coming

years. Despite going to coach-

ing changes three times, Gibbs

still managed to go 10 of 11

against Jack Yates in the Fiesta

Booker-Bryant Memorial

Classic and took home the

Rising Star award in his junior

year. He came back under his

third coach in his senior year

and led the Eagles to a win over

Jack Yates 14-13 and won the

MVP of the annual fall classic

and continued to show the best

touch as a passer since Andy

Dalton was at Katy a few years

earlier.

In addition to his touch, Gibbs

can throw the ball down field

when he needs to as well. After

covering sports for more than 30

years we feel good about this

kid and before he is done we

feel he is going to re-write the

record books at Alcorn State

University before he is done.

Head coach Jay Hopson talked

with us following the game at

PV and commented on his prize

freshman signal caller. “As you

know we are building and John

Gibbs is certainly part of our

plan and more important than

his abilities on the field he is

such an outstanding young man

as well”. Hopson who is in his

first year as the Braves head

man went on to mention that

Fred “Air” McNair is the quar-

terback coach and working very

hard to keep Gibbs getting better

each week.

After his 22 of 32 for 282 yards

and one touchdown plus eight

rushes for 30 yards including a

12 yard scoring run in the

fourth, we spoke with John

Gibbs. “Yes sir I feel we are

getting there and with Fred

McNair working with me I hope

to get better as the weeks go

by”. Gibbs who we feel has it

all going for him is a Mass

Communication Major and is

certainly off to a flying start.

Funny how some 18 years ago

the late Steve McNair scored

eight touchdowns and amassed

more than 600 yards on that

same field and went on to finish

third in the balloting for the

Heisman award that next spring.

We couldn’t help but ask Gibbs

if he felt two or three years

down the road he could be doing

the very same thing. “Yes sir I

feel it’s all here for me and I cer-

tainly plan to make the most of

my opportunities and I’m learn-

ing everything as fast as I can”.

During the last 30 years we’ve

ran across some great ones and

let me be the first to tell you this

kid is right on the that list.

Now Gibbs will join such names

as Rodney Hampton, Johnny

Bailey, Broderick Thomas and

Santana Dotson to name a few.

Hey Lovers, do you believe in

Love?....Love at first sight?..

Romeo and Juliette? Believe it

or not there are some people in

this world that don’t believe in

Love, and I guess they have

their reasons. Sometimes we go

through such bad relationships

time and time again, that it caus-

es us to give up on love. I can

understand taking a break, but

we should never give up com-

pletely. Sometimes we should

take a break and think about

what has gone wrong, was it me,

was it him, was it them, but

never say never...There are also

some people who have never

experienced Love, or should I

say real Love; this could be you.

It’s a good thing if you have had

good examples to follow, parents

who were in a good relationship

or even friends. We know this is

not always the case. Can we

learn how to love from a book? I

say yes and no. It’s like going to

school - you get all the book

knowledge, but until you get that

job and get the hands on experi-

ence it’s nothing like it.

Therefore I conclude there is

nothing wrong with reading

about it, and not the romance

novels, for you are sure to have

some drama in those. You

should be a little more factual I

think and just apply the principle

to the natural way of doing

things. I know that may sound

like something out of a Dr. Phil

show, but don’t knock it espe-

cially if it works for somebody

out there looking for Love.

As for as Love at first sight, I

personally don’t believe in it.

Maybe lust at first sight... A

strong feeling of I think I like

this person.. There is really no

way to love unless you truly get

to know a person. I know the

bible verse “God is Love”, but

when it comes to relationships,

and being in love it’s a whole

new ball game. I also believe the

more you get to know your mate

and the more you are together,

the more you trust and respect

them. The stronger love

becomes, the harder it is to be

torn apart by the trials and tribu-

lations of life.

Now for Romeo and Juliette, yes

it was a love story, but in reality

if you are in Love with someone

to that level, and it is possible,

then any thing is possible. What

do the wedding vows say? Till

Death Do us Part...It actually

happens more than you think..

Make sure you tune in to “The

Love Corner” on Wednesday

nights with EZ Robbins and me

and special guests as we discuss

issues on relationships, maybe

even your relationship, on

KCOH 1430am at 8pm.

The top love songs for this

month are 1 A House is not a

Home Luther Vandross 2 Get

Here Oletha Adams 3 I’ve got

Love on My Mind Natalie Cole

4 Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Patti Labelle and 5 Stay Tyrese.

My Local Artist of the month is

David Walker the Country Boy

who appeared as co-host on A

Blue Monday at KCOH. He has

several releases which you can

hear on KCOH and be picked up

on iTunes, and is currently on

his Cowboy Cool tour through-

out the Dirty South.

So until next time, put a little

love in your heart, the look of

love in your eyes, and make sure

you tell someone you love them,

even if that someone is you.

A King-Size View WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

By John Engel

Every December we take a time out on a Saturday in December

to honor those buried at our �ational Cemeteries (including

those buried at sea). The Wreaths across America Organization

along with corporate and private sponsors lay wreaths at the

graves of our military heroes. Wreaths will be placed at over

600 sites worldwide on this day.

I was honored to be allowed to ride in support of this day in

2011. We met at a Wal Mart parking lot in �ew Caney very

early in the morning. About 100 motorcycles escorted the Wal

Mart trucks containing the wreaths. We left at dawn with a

police escort and headed to the Houston �ational Cemetery.

When we arrived we set up a flag line at the Hemicycle. At the

appropriate time, the ceremony started. A color guard provided

by a Boy Scout Troop presented the colors. Then after the bless-

ings and memorials, a ceremonial wreath was presented for

each branch of the services. After the wreaths were presented,

we went to the stock of wreaths and selected a wreath. From

there we went to a grave and placed it with great respect. Every

one of us was asked to take a moment to read the name on the

stone and try to honor them for their service. This was repeated

until all wreaths were placed.

If you have a family member or friend at the H�C, you may

request that the grave be marked with a small red flag. The

general public will respect the marker and you will be able to

place the wreath on the grave yourself. This is a wonderful way

to honor a loved one on this solemn occasion.

If you are able to stay, it is a very moving experience to view

the graves in the rows with the wreaths in place. Last year, as I

was walking back to my motorcycle, I passed a woman kneeling

over a grave crying. I asked her if she needed a hug and she

nodded. After holding her and offering comfort I asked why she

was there for. She showed me the grave of her father, a military

veteran. �ext to his grave was that of her mother, also a veter-

an. I walked back to where I was parked with a tear in my eye

but a warm feeling in my soul.

This year the Wreaths across America will be held on

December 15. For more information and to learn how to partic-

ipate visit them at: http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/

So, you want to hang out… just

maybe not until 3:00 am any-

more; then Happy Hour is a

great time to get out and min-

gle! You can enjoy cocktails

and still be home by 10:00 pm

because beauty rest is quite

important. Happy Hours are

the best time to try out new

restaurants; you can sample

their food and they offer great

drink specials too!

Another option is to have at

home happy hours where friends

can bring their favorite wines,

desserts or signature dishes.

Add another twist and bring

another person that’s new to the

group as your happy hour

“potluck” contribution.

Saturday or Sunday morning

brunch is another way to inter-

act with people that are not just

night owls or doing the bar

crawl. There are so many cool

coffee houses for early morning

risers to catch up on current

events, or spend the afternoon at

a wine bar to relax, unwind and

engage in a conversation that’s

not drowned out by music or

overzealous patrons; try sitting

out on the patios as the weather

cools down or at the bar where

you can engage in stimulating

conversation.

Step out of the shadow of the

booth in the corner and into the

afternoon light. Often weekdays

are the best time to try new

places. Leave the weekend to

the amateur partiers.

There are other opportunities to

enjoy great music, and cocktails

without the pulsating sounds

from 80 inch speakers. Although

I do remember when I thought

there would never be any other

way to enjoy music!

A night out doesn’t have to take

all night! So take a blanket,

your dog or other best friends

(Don’t forget the wine) and head

out to a concert in the park with

a local band or your favorite

artist, soak up the sun and the

energy of the folks around you.

Enjoy!

I have always in some sense

supported most University

Interscholastic League decisions

regarding Texas athletics. The

U.I.L. has received plenty of

criticisms and no doubt their

current policies will create some

heat also. But trust me dear

readers, this time it’s unwarrant-

ed. In fact, its just a waste of

time. The first policy update

allowing a fourth teams from

Class 3A and 2A was the right

move. Sorry old schoolers, but

this should have happened years

ago when it was implemented

for Class 5A and 4A. This will

take place during the 2013-14

school year. It simply gives

more young athletes exposure to

colleges and thus more opputun-

ties for athletic scholarships.

How could anyone disagree with

that? Rest assured many will

stating it waters down the play-

off structure. Don’t look now

but not many if any that I could

recall fourth place teams in 5A

or 4A made it to the title games.

Teams lose in the playoffs

because they fail to produce

defesnive stops in key moments

in the game or fail to score

enough points during the game.

A fourth place finished fourth

for a reason. Making the play-

offs won’t change their team

very much. This policy change

is good to go!

Secondly, beginning this year if

both schools agree, playoff

games can be televised. I sup-

port this policy 100%. Cable

networks have had issues with

Texas for years regarding their

decision for not allowing high

school football games to be tele-

vised on Friday nights. Friday

nights belong to the high schools

but networks opened their check

books and some colleges, beg-

ging for both money and expo-

sure leaped at the chance to grab

Friday night for their programs.

Peasonally, I’m at a high school

game. so I could care less who’s

on television. But allowing the

playoff games to be televised

allows the nation to see what we

in Texas have known for years-

high school football in this state

is the best this nation has to

offer.

Thirdly this policy will no doubt

create a lot of heat. Beginning

next year, basketball teams

(which will be effected the most

by this policy) can only partici-

pate in two tournaments per year

and 21 regular season games

prior to the playoffs. This will

make tournament selections very

difficult for some schools espe-

cially for temas with a lot of tal-

ent, that fans and universities

want to see. I think this policy

wants to remind the student/ath-

lete of his/her main goal-be a

student first. We have in this

state so many young people that

don’t get a good education and

are simply ill prepared to move

to college related work. That in

itself is why so many in our

society want to remove athletics

from the educational system.

The costs of travel is just too

high. Money is an issue that all

school districts face. Is this a

good polcy? It has some good

points, but overall we’ll have to

wait and see. Texas High Scool

Basketball is now considered by

many to be near the best in the

country. This policy could

change that perception. I’ll talk

to coaches, players and some

athletic directors next year to get

their opinions.

Overall I think these policies are

the right things to do.

That’s just the way I see it!


UIL CHANGES MAKE SENSEThe WayI See It

By BIG John Chandler

It is possible that, barring a

repeat of the Bush v Gore elec-

tion protracted vote count deci-

sion of 2000, by the time you

read this the President of the

United States will soon be or

already has been chosen by

American voters. Like much in

life, elections hold lessons for us

well beyond their obviously dis-

cernible results. Campaigns are

about perceptions and how we

imagine ourselves to in the

national image; elections, on the

other hand, are about final vote

counts, tallied results, and hard

data. The way we are, as

opposed to who we aspire to be.

Every four years, with varying

degrees of vitriol, indignation,

and outrage politicians, pundits

and faithful of the contesting

parties remind us that if we vote

for those who do not share their

views and values, precisely, then

we have no one to blame but

ourselves for the certain

Armageddon that will ensue.

It has been thus for me eversince I became old enough tounderstand the language ofgrass roots, unsophisticated,kitchen table politics. Throughthe years, the people on theother side were usually renderedas caricatures of themselves. �omatter what their accomplish-ments, they were foremost, theEnemy, come in the flesh todestroy our great country andworsen the quality and of our

personal lives. Hence, preach-ers, teachers, lawyers, laborunions, and community organiz-ers were useful idiots for com-munists; as the years wore onthe other side came to resentbeing vilified as the other side,so they identified their own vil-lains on the other side’s side.Still with me? The result was alengthy list of villains including,but not limited to, the military-industrial complex, puppet gov-ernments, right wing deathsquads, corporate robberbarons, war profiteers, and vul-

ture capitalists. Hence, I havedetermined that to know myfriends from my enemies I mustpay closer attention to the“�eo-Conservative, severelyconservative, biased liberalright wing prejudiced media,and the leftist, socialist, capital-ist, Marxist oligarchicPlutocracy from which they gaintheir credibility. The amazingthing is that on this exaggeratedbasis, or something very muchakin to it, we nobly trek to thepolling places throughout ourcountry armed with the votingtraditions of our families, cul-ture, or our own political obser-vations to defend or destroywhatever we have in mind. Ihave always marveled at theresilience of our nation to with-stand these great biennial andquadrennial political upheavals.On to 2014!

North Forest continued their

winning ways with a 56-0 blank-

ing of Jeff Davis for their 9th

win of the season against no

defeats. If you recall North

Forest combined Forest Brook

and Smiley High Schools into

one and it’s paying off big for

them on the football field.

Anthony Jones started it off with

only four carries but picked up

75 yards and scored twice.

While teammate Alex Benjamin

had only 55 yards on seven car-

ries but he also scored twice.

Quarterback Darrell Julian hit on

six of 10 passes for 93 yards and

two more touchdowns in the

win. DeMarcus Jackson had a

big 42 yard scoring pass from

Julian and DeShawn Wiggins

ran 10 yards for another score as

North Forest rolled on.

The Katy Tigers won for the

eight time in eight outings with

a spanking of Strait Jesuit 62-7.

Rodney Anderson rushed for 110

yards and two scores on only

sevem carries. Adam Taylor did

his thing with 16 carries for 115

yards and hit pay dirt twice as

well. However the Tigers can

pass as well with Kiley

Huddleston connecting on seven

of 14 for 137 yards and three

touchdowns as well. In Division

II Class 5A all roads to the state

goes through Katy, Texas once

again.

Westfield beat Klein Forest 31-6

to move closer to the 13-5A dis-

trict title. The Mustangs defense

held Forest to only two first

downs and 128 total yards and

forced them to punt six times.

The Jack Yates Lions got pass

the Booker T. Washington

Eagles 13-3 to win the 8th

Annual Fiesta Booker-Bryant

Memorial Classic. Joshua

Simmons scored twice on the

ground and passed for 101 yards

all in the first half, but it was

enough. Simmons left the game

just before half time with

strained ACL and the Lions are

hoping to have him back before

the playoffs.

Lamar shutout Madison 41-0 as

Darrell Colbert passed for 178

yards on 13 of 24 and three

touchdowns. The balanced

attacking Redskins also had 189

yards on the ground with Levy

Whiteings getting 34 yards and

one touchdown n nine carries

and Ronnie Wesley picking up

66 yards on 14 carries and scor-

ing from one yard out. The win

is the eight of the season against

no defeats and basically gives

them the district title as well in

20-5A this season.

Speaking of Mustangs the North

Shore Mustangs galloped to

their eight win of the season

with a 34-7 win over Beaumont

Westbrook. Micah Thomas led

the way with 91 yards rushing

and one touchdown. But Carlos

Perez booted field goals of 38

and 39 to add to their scoring

totals.

The Jones Falcons put an end to

Kashmere’s perfect district run

when the upset the Rams 42-29.

It marked the first time this year

the Rams fell in District 23-3A

action. Furr remained in the

hunt with a 27-6 win over

Sterling as both team at 3-2 in

district action. Yates and

Kashmere will basically play for

the district title this weekend.

The Wheatley Wildcats sneaked

back into the playoff picture

with a 27-17 win over the

Waltrip Rams. Milby kept their

small hopes alive as well with

an 8-2 win over Austin.

Cypress Falls ran past Cy-

Woods 35-10 and Dekaney beat

Klein 21-14 in overtime. It was

Spring over Klein Oak 48-41.

Cinco Ranch beat Seven Lakes

27-7 while Fort Bend Bush won

over Elkins 29-22. It was Clear

Creek over Clear Brook 41-28

and Memorial got the upper

hand on Katy Taylor 40-19.

Fair 31-21 and Nimitz shutout

ued to roll by shutting out

The Jack Yates Lions and

Booker T. Washington Eagles

squared off in the 8th Annual


Classic at Barnett Stadium. It

was a cool and brisk night for

football with a wind chill some-

where in the high 40s but never-

the-less the show must go on.

After a scoreless first period the

Lions got rolling at senior quar-

terback Joshua Simmons begin

hitting David Funchess and

Victor Gaines to get the Lions in

scoring position. Then Yates

went in from 22 yards out for

the game’s first score before

going in from one yard out to

make it clearly 13-0 and it

would appear it would be

enough. But during the first half

he also sprained his ACL and

spent the second half on the

sidelines on crutches. It just so

happened the Eagles could only

score when Alejandro Arambula

booted a 48 yard field goal.

Simmons had done enough to

walk away with the most valu-

able player award.

As always the case Mrs.,

Charlotte Bryant was there

dressed in a beautiful black out-

fit and joined by her sons Tim

and Byron Bryant. Elvis Paul

from the class of 1977 presented

Mrs. Bryant with this year’s

plaque. She was escorted on to

the field by the legendary Walter

Penrice a 1971 graduate of

Washington Senior High School

and is currently the President of

the Studewood Cobras Little

League Football Organization.

On the other side of the field

Mrs. Clairene Booker made her

way with his daughter Annette

and son Guy alongside her. She

was dressed is a gorgeous dark

red outfit. She was escorted on

to the field by Maurice Hobson

a member of the Jack Yates state

championship 1985 16-0 foot-

ball team. She was joined also

by Maurice McGowan the offen-

sive coordinator on that team

and the man who took over

when Booker retired in 1988.

Members of the 1992 state final-

ist Jack Yates football team took

part in the halftime ceremonies

on this chilly night for football

at Barnett Stadium.
