Yours in Dragon Pride,

Mike [email protected]

Second to NoneWell-heeled parking spots give entre to catered tailgates, and VIP game seats bask in the glow of a million dollar scoreboard. Ozarka towels, foam fingers, hats, flags and this year’s issue of Dragon Pride head a list of promotional swag that rivals any game day haul. Need a bag for it all? Check out the Dragon Den pro-shop.Southlake Carroll football tailgates are where family and friends reconnect over the only slow-cooked meal of an otherwise busy week. Adults share their stories while little green monsters play catch in the parking lot. Regardless of age, everyone bears allegiance on green sleeves, in green hair and on green faces. The little ones anxiously wait for their varsity light to shine, while parents do all they can to hold on to each fleeting moment.

Now a tenured Texan and Dragon fan, I never miss a chance to introduce out of towners to our Friday night traditions. Then I stand back and watch as they soak it all in. Fresh eyes to this scene are amazed when two mile-long lines of glittering cowgirls separate, the band is cued and 100 players storm in through an inflatable helmet large enough to birth every one of the RVs parked immediately outside. The rookie’s wide-eyed gaze only begins to focus as they customarily rise for a half-time break. Realizing no one is moving, the seat is meekly retaken for a choreographed performance that is far from amateur.

It doesn’t take long for anyone to realize Southlake Carroll football is not for the faint of heart. It is not taken lightly- and from the fans to the field, the game day energy of our entire community is second to none.

Second to none —that’s all you can say about the entire Dragon football experience.

With the gridiron season in full swing, fans find themselves

once again under the Friday Night Lights in Southlake.

Football, after all, is one of Texas’ oldest traditions. There’s

no better way to celebrate the season than with another

Texas favorite: Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water,

sourced right here in the Lone Star State.

Many Texans, including Southlake residents, recognize Ozarka

to be their home-grown, local brand. The Ozarka brand has been

a true Texan since 1905, and is now supported by more than 1,400

employees across the state. As its deep Texas roots grow even

stronger, the Ozarka brand has launched its new “Taste the Texas

Tradition” campaign, celebrating the best of Texas right here in

Southlake.

Inspired by the passion of players and the way fans rally

around their home team, Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring

Water is proud to be the official bottled water of the Carroll High

School football program and Dragon Stadium. Both pre- and

post-game events call for Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring

Water— whether tailgating or enjoying a victory celebration!

Dragon pride is not just a feeling reserved for sports fans. It’s a

city-wide phenomenon, and there is a huge sense of community

in Southlake. “Dragon pride is the emotions that well up inside of

you when you think of the traditions and values of the Southlake

community that have been sustained over time,” said Megann

Agnew, football mom and long-time Southlake resident. “It is the

people that make a difference, and it warms my heart that many

have strived to maintain certain aspects in order to preserve the

small town atmosphere that drew us here from the beginning.”

As the official bottled water of Dragon Stadium, Ozarka®

100% Natural Spring Water will support the team and local fans

through fun, engaging ways to encourage a strong sense of pride

in the community. Of course there will also be natural spring

water hydration on and off the field! The Ozarka brand is calling

on the Southlake Community to join them in their efforts, and

share their favorite football traditions on social media channels

using #TexasTradition and #H2Ozarka.

Just what ties does the Ozarka brand have to Texas and the

local communities? Today, Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring

Water comes exclusively from sources in Texas from more than

7,200 acres of woodlands in East Texas. The springs are located

in Piney Woods Spring in Wood County, Moffitt Spring in Walker

County and Roher Spring in Henderson. Ozarka® 100% Natural

Spring Water brings you a refreshing, crisp taste that you can

trust, perfect for a tailgate or victory celebration.

Ryan Agnew vividly remembers his first game as the starting quarterback for Southlake Carroll.

Late last August, he earned the job after star signal-caller Kenny Hill, who led the Dragons to a state title in 2011, was lost to graduation. His first task — knocking off defending state champion Allen, a team that had destroyed Southlake Carroll, 24-0, a year prior.

Agnew had a tough outing, completing just 51 percent of his passes with two interceptions in a 49-27 loss. But he did show flashes of potential. He threw for a score and added another one on the ground. It was a sign of things to come.

“Allen was very tough. They were the defending state champions. But I don’t regret that it was my first game,” Agnew said. “It was a great game to play in, and I was able to build on my mistakes. Everything was fast for me then it slowed down, and I started free flowing towards the end.”

Over the next 11 games, Agnew showed poise in the pocket, made electrifying plays with his feet and led the Dragons to victory each time they took the field. Agnew gained recognition as one of the

top quarterbacks in the state, and Southlake Carroll was rolling again.

The Dragons reached the third round of the playoffs where the dream of adding another state championship to the monstrous billboard located outside of Carroll Senior High came to an end against a physical Euless Trinity team. While the ultimate goal wasn’t reached, Agnew proved he could be ‘the guy.’

His 2013 totals were remarkable: 3,195 yards passing, 1,254 yards rushing, 52 total touchdowns and an eye-popping 74.7 completion percentage. And the rising senior hasn’t even hit his full potential yet.

“With 13 games of varsity experience plus the spring and the summer, he’s right where we thought he would be,” said head coach Hal Wasson. “He keeps getting better and better. He brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and talent. But overall, he’s just a very dependable and accountable young man.”

Earlier this year, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin told the media, “folks talk about the

quarterback at Southlake Carroll being under about as much pressure as anybody, any place in the country.”

It’s true. Southlake Carroll has a rich tradition of producing successful signal-callers that have gone on to play football at the next level and even the pros. From Chase Daniel to Greg McElroy to Riley Dodge and the aforementioned Hill, Agnew is following some titan-like footsteps.

Wasson says he tries not to add much pressure. In fact, he says Agnew, who holds offers from Arkansas State, Houston, Navy, UNLV and others, is already just ‘another one of those guys.’

“The media and the fans look at the quarterback as ‘the guy’ at Southlake Carroll, but I need to have that mentality of going out every night and doing the same things,” Agnew said. “There is pressure that comes with it, but once you step between the white lines, it’s just football. There is no more talking… it’s just the scoreboard talking.”

Agnew will face a different type of pressure this season. The Dragons were wiped out by graduation on the offensive side of the ball. New starters litter the offensive line and receiving corps, which will almost certainly lead to some growing pains.

As the only offensive starter returning from last year’s squad, Agnew will be looked upon to not only make plays with his athletic ability but also provide the young Dragons with some much-needed senior leadership.

“Ryan means a great deal to our team. He’s been

Southlake Carroll has long been known for its wide-open, high-powered spread offense. After all, the Dragons made helped make it a Texas high school football staple in the early 2000s.

But even quarterback Ryan Agnew admits Southlake Carroll might be more balanced this season.

Why? Well, when you have a two-headed monster in the backfield — junior running backs Jordan Humphrey and Grant McFarlin — running the football simply makes sense. While it’s still ‘pass to set up the run,’ don’t be surprised if the Dragons rack up plenty of yards on the ground this season.

“Our passing game has always been the main point in our offensive system, but I feel like the running game is becoming more relevant,” Humphrey said. “Playing in the spread, teams focus on Ryan, and it gives us bigger holes and running lanes to run through.”

Humprey is quite the athletic specimen. You don’t see very many tall ball carriers at any level, but Humprey is somewhat of an anomaly. The 6-foot-4, 180-pounder used his height to his advantage last year while rushing 675 yards and five touchdowns. When he gets a full head of steam, you won’t want to face him one-on-one. Call him Thunder.

McFarlin is more of a prototypical running back. At 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, he is a little more shifty and speedy than his backfield partner, but he’s not exactly afraid to lower his shoulder. McFarlin, who rushed for 485 yards and six touchdowns a year ago, brings the boom. Call him Lighting.

“I think running back will be one of the strengths of our football team,” said head coach Hal Wasson. “We have depth there, and I’m really excited about what McFarlin and Humphrey bring to the table. I expect a lot from our running back position.”

“Last year, they were sophomores, but they did a great

Humphrey and Grant McFarlin is on the rise.


MADISON DRESCHERMEET

Take the pressures of school, family and life, then add three highly competitive sports teams – that’s the life of senior Madison Drescher. She not only plays varsity volleyball and basketball for the Lady Dragons, but she also plays select volleyball.

“My whole life people have been telling me I need to stick with one sport. I ignored them and made a plan to divide my time and energy into both,” Drescher said.

It’s safe to say that Drescher has not only found a balance between school, family and sports, but she has excelled in all. She made Academic All-District the past two years and was first team All-District last year in volleyball and basketball, among many other notable distinctions.

But Drescher admits that keeping a balanced life can be difficult. Luckily she has a great support system – her family.

“My family always pushes me to do my best, but they also know when I need a break from certain activities. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them,” Drescher said.

This talented student-athlete especially relies on her oldest brother, Justin Drescher, long snapper for the New Orleans Saints.

“Justin inspires me. He has shown me what perseverance and hard work can get you,” she said.

Though she may have perfected this balancing act in high school, Drescher won’t be following suit in college. She plans to focus on her true passion – volleyball. Upon graduation in the spring, Drescher will be playing volleyball at the University of Oklahoma.

Extraordinaryon and off the field

Among many impressive athletes on the cross-country team, one particular member goes above and beyond to inspire the others to strive for their best. Special Olympian Josh Chavez really loves his close-knit team and wonderful coaches. “It has been an outstanding environment for him to be a part of,” Josh’s mother, Jennifer, said. “Coach Leonard really fosters support and encouragement. He is all about the team mentality.”

One particular runner, however, holds a special place in Josh’s heart. His older brother, Jordan, has been an avid runner throughout his life and now runs in college. Josh grew up around the track watching his brother and developed a love of the sport. “Jordan is his hero, he loves his brother,” Jennifer said.

Josh’s family is very involved with the cross-country team, hosting a camp for the runners every year at their home in Colorado. Running up mountains seems like a daunting task, but it pushes these kids even further to realize their potential. Off the track Josh is a social butterfly. He loves movies, music and seeing his friends at the weekly Teen Club sponsored by the Southlake Parks and Recreation Department.

During Special Olympics events, Josh can be seen running the 200-meter dash and has recently picked up shot put as his newest challenge. He hopes one day to compete at a high school track meet with the team he loves so much. For now, Josh keeps working diligently and is looking forward to his sophomore year.

on varsity for three years, and he’s lived for this moment his whole Dragon career,” Wasson said. “He’s a great leader, and he’s going into his second year as a starter, so that’s monumental. If you take the last week of last season, he’s the lone starter on offense.”

Running back Jordan Humphrey added:“Ryan is a great leader. He gives you the will to want to

play for him. He comes out to work everyday and is always ready to answer any questions that we have. He’s a great player, and his leadership pushes us as a team everyday.”

To Agnew, the added pressure and expanded role just comes with the territory. He did nothing extraordinary this offseason to prepare for it — he simply worked his tail off in the weight room, spent extra time with his new group of wide outs and helped Southlake Carroll have success in 7-on-7.

A big reason why Agnew was elected offensive captain by his teammates this offseason is his demeanor. By no means is he cocky— he just has a particular swagger and quiet confidence about him that commands respect. It almost leaves no doubt that he’s ready for a special year.

“As the quarterback, the offense is yours. Last year, I felt like the offense was mine even though I was a junior,” Agnew said. “But being a senior this year and being elected a captain, I’m trying to take on more of leadership role. Everyone can lead vocally and anyone can lead by example, so I try to do both to the best of my abilities.

“Being a senior, you get the experience. I was on the field and started every game last year, so you know what it’s like to play in the big games. I think I know more about the rollercoaster that is the season.”

With realignment pitting Southlake Carroll against some of the toughest teams in the area — Euless Trinity, Coppell, Colleyville Heritage, L.D. Bell, etc. — the Dragons will need everything they can get from their veteran field general.

As a dangerous dual-threat quarterback, Agnew has been compared to NFL stars Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Johnny Manziel. But he doesn’t get caught up in all of that. His mantra is elementary — be his own person and help the team notch W’s.

“Watching those guys on Sunday is fun,” Agnew said. “A lot of people say I play like Johnny Manziel. I try to have my accuracy like Peyton Manning, but at the end of the day, I’m Ryan Agnew.”

job of contributing,” Agnew added. “It gives me comfort to know that they have experience and that they’re not coming in with blind eyes. They’ve been through the battle. They both have high standards.”

For both backs, playing the Dragon Way remains important. Even though Humphrey and McFarlin have to split carries and share touches with the plethora of other weapons on Southlake Carroll’s offense, you won’t find them complaining.

Humphrey and McFarlin are just as happy pass blocking, an important but underappreciated part of the Dragons’ offense, as they are breaking long runs for touchdowns. At the end of the day, winning is all that matters.

“You can’t be selfish. This offense requires a lot of blocking,” McFarlin said. “But it’s worth it to protect Ryan and get the receivers time to catch balls and make plays. We just want to win.”

No Fly ZoneOBI EBOH AND ANDY CHELF LEAD A DYNAMIC DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD.

By EJ Holland

The two talented Southlake Carroll defensive backs follow the same routine at practice, help each other make plays on the field on Friday nights and are bonded by the recruiting process.

While the pair goes together like peanut butter and jelly, they couldn’t be more different. But that’s why they complement each other so well.

Chelf is the elder statesman. A three-year starter at safety, he is the unquestioned leader of the entire defense. As a junior, Chelf was second on the team in tackles and passes knocked down. Chelf has made his mark on this team as a physical hard-hitter that never shies away from contact.

But perhaps his best attribute is passion. When the Dragons take the field, nobody can be heard over the vocal commands of Chelf, and when it comes to practice, he’s always willing to lend a helping hand to underclassmen like Eboh.

“Andy is a really good player. He’s really savvy. He’s been on varsity since his sophomore year,” Eboh said. “When I was coming on varsity, he helped me a lot. He’s given me advice on tackling

and coverages. He’s just a really good leader, and he’s going to be a good player this year.”

That leadership helped garner him the title of defensive captain this offseason. Chelf called it the “best thing that’s ever happened” during his career at Southlake Carroll because it showed his teammates respect him as both a player and a person —the Dragons name their captains by taking a team vote.

A consolation prize —which would be the grand prize for most student athletes —was earning a full ride to play the sport he loves at the next level.

Early on in the recruiting process, Chelf was flying under the radar. Then came a weekend to remember in June. He picked up his first offer from Air Force and Purdue swooped in not long after with an offer of its own. And it didn’t take long for Chelf to pull the trigger.

In fact, Chelf gave the Boilermakers, a rising Big 10 program, a verbal commitment on the spot. “Purdue was the right school for me. I had been there, and it was beautiful. They have really nice

s


students, and the campus is great,” Chelf said. “I really felt comfortable with the coaching staff. They’re a rebuilding program, and I hope I can help them be really good in the future.”

The fact that Purdue was a great fit made it an easy decision, but Chelf admits that he wanted to get the recruiting process over with as soon as possible so he could focus on the season. Players often become preoccupied with all the extra attention, which has become the norm over the last few years thanks to an increase in coverage given to recruiting by a multitude of media outlets.

“I wanted to make my decision early, so I wouldn’t have to deal with questions about recruiting,” he said. “I wanted to focus on Southlake Carroll football —not what’s going to happen in two years. It just makes it easier not to get distracted. I want to focus on this team. That’s what’s important to me. I want to be an all-state player, but most importantly, I want to help my team win.”

And Chelf wants to make sure Eboh follows in his footsteps. Only a junior, Eboh is an athletic and versatile playmaker with a flurry of early offers from the likes of; Duke, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Rice and Texas Tech.

While Chelf’s recruitment was quiet for the most part, Eboh’s is set to skyrocket as many pundits project him to be one of the top overall prospects in the 2016 class.

“I love Obi. He’s such a young talented guy. I’ve given him a lot of advice about recruiting,” Chelf said. “I’ve told him go where you can play and go where you can get an education. On the field, I’m always here to answer any questions he has. He brings speed and long arms. He’s a freak and is going to have so many offers.”

At 6’1”, 170 pounds, Eboh can line up at safety or be used as a taller cornerback. College coaches are enamored with his size, footwork and instincts, and are recruiting him at the latter position so he can

match up with bigger, physical wide receivers. “The first thing that stands out about Obi

is his academics. He has a 4.3 GPA, and that intelligence transfers over to the field,” said Justin Owens, the founder of Coach O Recruiting who mentors Eboh and helps him with his recruitment. “He has the length all coaches are looking for. When you’re a utility guy, you’re in a win-win situation.”

Eboh says he is putting the recruiting process on the backburner and won’t be making a decision anytime this year. Instead, he is fully committing his time to helping this Southlake Carroll defense exceed expectations.

Last season, Eboh saw time as a sophomore, notching 23 tackles and four passes knocked down. With a little experience under his belt he is ready to take on a bigger role and prove why he’s one of the hottest recruits in the state.

“My teammates are excited for me, so I’m just going to continue to work hard. The team always

comes first,” Eboh said. “We have our summer strength and conditioning course, and I would always do that before anything recruiting wise. I’m really excited about the season because we’re bringing a lot of guys back. We’re not giving up any deep passes, and we’re taking away everything vertical. It’s going to be a no-fly zone.”

With Chelf and Eboh returning on the back end, expect teams to shy away from testing the Southlake Carroll secondary. And the scary thing is they’ve only improved since last season.

“As you grow and mature, you take more ownership in your work. It’s been really fun to watch the maturation of both of those guys,” said head coach Hal Wasson. “Both have gotten stronger and are more comfortable with the defense. They mean a lot to our team, and we’re expecting some big things from them this year.”

All-Star Orthopaedics is committed to helping families keep their active lifestyles by treating injuries, replacing joints and relieving nagging aches and pains through advanced, minimally invasive techniques and

technology. From their state-of-the-art facilities in Southlake and other DFW locations, All-Star Orthopaedics’ experienced, board-certified surgeons and skilled staff utilize a broad range of adult and adolescent orthopaedic services that reduce recovery time and levels of discomfort while keeping entire families performing at their best. One of All-Star Orthopaedics’ main goals is to educate patients on injury prevention, especially when it comes to sports injuries caused by poor training practices, improper use of equipment and exercising without a proper warm-up. According to the surgeons of All-Star Orthopaedics, ACL tears make up a large majority of these injuries, with an estimated 250,000 occurring per year — 70 percent of which result from sudden deceleration, such as landing from a jump or a cut-and-pivot motion.

Grear Hurt, one of All-Star Orthopaedics’ board-certified surgeons, says there are several effective strategies active people can use to prevent ACL tears, including balance and core stability training, plyometrics and neuromuscular training. All of the specialists at All-Star Orthopaedics believe preventing ACL injuries should be a major component of every athlete’s training routine, so they make it a priority to teach patients about successful treatments and techniques.

at age 27. The first doctor had taken an MRI and diagnosed a torn meniscus and a bad ACL. He said he thought the knee would need to be “totally redone.” Dr. Greenberg disagreed: He said the meniscus was worn and torn, but the ACL was solid. He was also clear about not knowing for sure what would be needed until he got inside the knee. I had him operate, and he trimmed the meniscus and did microfractures because the cartilage was thin. It has turned out really well — I’m playing regularly again, and the knee just keeps getting better, I guess because the microfractures take a while to stabilize. For the first two or three years, it still swelled afterwards, but less and less. Now it does not swell at all.” – C.C. “I would definitely recommend Dr. Honig. He was very professional and did such a good job helping me with my knee. From the minute I got there, he seemed so interested in what I had to say about my symptoms and issues concerning my knee. After X-rays and an MRI, we approached where we are now with a lot of reasoning and time to think. Overall, he is a great doctor, and I would definitely recommend him.” – R.S.

EXECUTIVE MEDICINE OF TEXAS

Taking an Individual Approach

“TOO MUCH OF MEDICINE IS RUSHED. PATIENTS SHOULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH THEIR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.”

Executive Medicine of Texas focuses on overall wellness with a personalized approach, making their programs some of the most sought after in the country. They provide their patients with the

most comprehensive preventative and proactive healthcare available. “When people leave our office, they feel good about the progress they are making and the control they have over their own health,” says Walter Gaman, MD.

One way the Executive Medicine team fulfills the facility’s purpose is through their hormone, nutrition and fitness program available to patients. The Inside-Out Makeover program is designed to give patients their energy and life back through bio-identical hormone replacement, nutritional counseling, and a personal fitness program.

Heading up the hormonal assessment and treatment is Nurse Practitioner Kimberly Maus, who also conducts the nutritional counseling. Judy Skinner, the Director of Fitness, creates a personalized fitness plan that is specific to each person’s specific goals and abilities. In addition to these services, each patient in the program receives blood work, including food sensitivity testing. “We gather as much information as possible. This information gives us the clues that unlock the door to each patient’s success,” explains Kimberly.

The best treatment for hormone imbalance is hormone restoration with bio-identical hormones, and Executive Medicine of Texas offers treatment for hormone imbalance in both men and women using bioTE hormone pellet therapy™. Just a bit larger than a grain of rice, the pellets are bio-identical to hormones the body naturally produces. They are placed just beneath the skin in the subcutaneous tissue in the gluteal region. This placement provides superior absorption because the hormones absorb directly into the bloodstream.

Both Kim and Judy have made it a mission to not only take good care of their own bodies, but to empower others to do the same. “Focusing on others brings out the best in ourselves,” said Kimberly, “It’s our passion.”

Kimberly, a nationally certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, is a former certified personal trainer, marathoner and brown belt in Tae Kwon Do. She has formal training in psychology and alternative medicine/acupressure, and received her master’s degree as a Nurse Practitioner from the University of San Diego.

“People are not cookie cutter,” says Judy, “the same thing doesn’t work for everybody. That’s why we have an individual approach.” She uses her knowledge as a personal trainer to drive patients and help them achieve their fitness goals.

Kimberly added, “We treat people like people, not like cattle. We get to know them and their needs. Too much of medicine is rushed. Patients should have a relationship with their healthcare provider.”

In addition to the Inside Out Makeover, Executive Medicine of Texas offers half-day Executive Physical Exams, Concierge Medicine, Primary Care and Bio-identical Hormone Therapy. People fly in from all over the world to see the experts at Executive Medicine, and Southlake residents are fortunate to have them right here in their backyard.

Executive Medicine of Texas is also proud to announce the upcoming event Stay Young at the Bass: An Evening with Suzanne Somers, which will be at Bass Hall in Fort Worth, one night only Nov. 11, 2014. Tickets are available at www.stayyoungatthebass.com.

OFFENSE

its well known air attack. Photography by BluDoor Studios

RUSHING TO GREATNESS

high-tempo, wide open passing of-fense is the norm when it comes

to Southlake Carroll football. The Dragons, after all, basically established the spread attack as a brand in Texas high school foot-ball back in the early 2000s.

So would it be surprising if Southlake Carroll suddenly became more balanced? On the surface, yes - but there is more than meets the eye. Consider this: last season the Dragons averaged 523 yards of offense per game — 270 yards came by way of running the ball.

That’s right, the high-flying Dragons actually averaged more yards per game on the ground than they did through the air. And with dual-threat quarter-back Ryan Agnew and a talented group of young running backs led by Lil’ Jordan Humphrey and Grant McFarlin back in the fold, there is no reason to expect any-thing different.

“Running the ball is a big part of our offense. I think running back will be one of the strengths of our football team,” said Head Coach Hal Wasson. “We have depth there, and I’m really excited about what McFarlin and Humphrey bring to the table. I expect a lot from our running back position.”

Losing three-year starter A.J. Ezzard does sting, but both Humprey and McFarlin are more than capable of carrying the load. While Ezzard rushed for 987 yards and 21 touch-downs a year ago, McFarlin and Humprey received roughly half of the remaining carries amongst running backs.

The two talented juniors are savvy, and their combined production heading into this season —1,161 yards and 11 touch-downs —speaks for itself. But that doesn’t mean Southlake Carroll will stray too far away from its bread and butter.

Agnew was sensational in his first season under center for the

Dragons, throwing for 3,195 yards and 32 touchdowns with just seven interceptions. The coveted Division I prospect also completed 74.7 percent of his passes and should be even better with a year of experience under his belt.

“All we want Ryan to do is be the best he can be. Ryan did a great job backing up Kenny [Hill] as a soph-omore, and he had a really strong junior year,” Wasson said. “We anticipate him having a strong senior year. There has been a great legacy of quarterbacks here. Since 2001, they’ve all gone Division I. Ryan is another one of those guys.”

But whom will Agnew throw to? That’s a question that looms large. Gone are Luke Timian and Keaton Duhon, who accounted for more than 63 percent of receiving yards in 2013. That means the Dragons are losing over 2,000 yards of offense.

It will be up to seniors Parker Fentriss and Ryan McGi-boney, and junior Zach Farrar, a talented baseball play-er with football offers from Louisiana Tech and North Texas, to carry the torch despite a lack of experience. Between all three, they recorded just 14 receptions for 154 yards and one touchdown last season.

“The wide receivers are all out there competing,” Agnew said. “We’re trying to find five, six, seven or even eight guys that can play, because in this offense, we can throw all of them in the game and have them contrib-ute. They are all going to help in some way.”

Dragon receivers are always expected to step up to the challenge as are the relatively inexperienced group of offensive linemen. The Dragons lost just about every-body, including SMU signee Evan Brown. Wasson says he is still optimistic about seniors Drew Jakala, Grant Stewart and the rest of the big boys up front, but it is imperative that they grow up quickly.

“There is a lot of work to be done on the offensive line,” Wasson said. “Those guys are going to have to learn fast. We’re replacing four of the five starters from last year, so it’s going to be a work in progress. But we like what we see so far.”

With 10 new faces on the offensive side of the ball, it might take some time for the Dragons to start averag-ing 51.4 yards per game like it did a year ago.

But at the end of the day, all these statistics and nomenclature won’t mean much. The sun will set, the lights will come on, and the Southlake Carroll Dragons will create fireworks.

*Not an actual patient

In his sec-ond year as a starter and captain, Ryan Agnew has clearly taken

on the leadership role. He returns after a stellar junior year where he passed for 3,195 yards and 32 touch-downs. Making the most of his athleticism and a pat-ented spin move, he rushed for an additional 1,254 yards and 20 touchdowns last season.

Ascending to the role as the Dragon’s pri-mary rusher, Lil’ Jordan is already taking

the experience he gained last season (676 yards, 6.4 yds/carry) spelling A.J. Ez-zard and bringing his game to the next level. Using a 6’4’’, 180-pound frame to his advantage; he exhibits plenty of speed to hit the edges and enough power to cut straight through oppos-ing defenses.

The younger brother of for-mer Dragon and Rice University receiver Evan

Fentriss, Parker continues the family tradition. He is the most experienced of this year’s wide receivers having caught 14 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown as a junior. This season he takes on a huge leadership role as Agnew’s primary target.

Another valu-able athlete in the Dragon receiver rota-tion, Ryan Mc-Giboney is a

6’1’’, 190-pound receiver who has the size and hands to make all-important catches in traffic. Having missed his junior season with injuries, Ryan has begun to make his mark as one of Agnew’s top receivers. After three games he has caught 6 passes for 56 yards.

An immense athlete, junior Zach Farrar may be the youngest, but at 6’4’’,

200 pounds, he is also the biggest of this year’s receiv-ers. Before catching a pass at the varsity level he was catching Division I offers from the likes of UNT and Louisiana Tech. A versatile athlete, he also runs track and chases down fly balls for the baseball team.

Considered by many to be the team’s best athlete, Tariq Gordon has been

tapped as a two-way star by Coach Hal Wasson. The experienced defensive back will make use of his speed and route running knowl-edge as a go-to receiver. The last time Wasson did so, it was Sabian Holmes in 2011, and we all know the outcome —a state championship.

A 6’2’’, 285-pound left tackle, Lucas Tribble posses envi-able size for

his position. However, he has the unenviable job of replac-ing the vacancy left behind when all-district performer Evan Brown graduated and went to SMU. Lucas contin-ues to gain valuable game experience with each snap and will be a formidable lineman for the Dragons this year and next.

It is rare that an under-classman can step into a starting role at offensive

line for any high school team. However, Ryan Miller has done just that replac-ing Ian Moss at left guard. At a less than robust 6’1”, 240 pounds, the budding sophomore will have to rely on technique and quickness as he continues to grow into his position.

Anchoring this year’s offen-sive line, Grant Stewart is one of only two linemen with

considerable experience coming into the season. In order to make the most of his abilities Grant will move from right tackle to center this season. After missing the early non-district sched-ule with an injury, the 6’2’’, 240-pound senior captain, is eager to step into live action.

Another newcomer to the young offensive line Chase Sanford is expected

to be a solid contributor in both pass protection and run blocking. He makes up for a lack of experience with excellent fundamentals that will put his pass protec-tion technique, footwork and size to the test. Expect Chase to only get better as the season progresses.

Missing time due to offsea-son injuries, Drew Jakala leaves a 6’4”, 266-pound

hole up front for the Drag-ons. Along with Stewart, Drew is the only other lineman to have consider-able experience from a year ago. An intelligent and hard working young man, the Dragons look forward to his return as they march into district play.

The next in a long line of talented and successful kickers, Jake Oldroyd will

take on the roles of place kicking and punting. In do-ing so, he replaces Drew Brown, who is now a mem-ber of the Nebraska Corn-huskers, and Sam Downey. Early in the season he’s shown toughness and con-sistency hitting field goals in some very close games.

DEFENSE

While last year’s leading tackler, Steven Bergrmark, was lost to graduation, the Drag-ons bring back a linebacking corps that’s full of potential.

Seniors Clark Parr and Joel McClellan each had outstanding junior years with 94 and 93 tackles respectively. Jacob Copeland also shined as a freshman with 41 tack-les of his own. He and Hunter Pen-som, who also saw extensive time at linebacker last year, are no strangers to big-game situations.

“We like what we see from the linebackers,” Wasson said. “We’re not where we need to be, but as all Dragon football teams, they’re going to continue to improve. This group hasn’t surprised me. They had a great spring and summer.”

On the back end, the Dragons have numerous key starters back in the fold. Purdue commit and team captain Andy Chelf is the elder statesman. The hard-hitting safety, recorded 107 tackles and knocked down 13 passes last season. Follow-ing in Chelf’s footsteps is junior Obi Eboh. He can play both cornerback and safety and is already attracting interest from several FBS schools.

With seniors Tariq Gordon, who led the team with four interceptions, and Devontae Humphrey-Wade also in the mix, the secondary might just be the Dragons strongest and deep-est position group.

“Our secondary runs really well,” Wasson said. “We have some seasoning out there, so we’re excit-ed about what they can do. They’ve worked really hard this year, and I think it’s really going to pay off for them this season.” Chelf added:

“Last year, our secondary was the big question mark. This year, I feel like it’s the most experienced group on the team. Obi played in every game last year, Devontae Humphrey-Wade played in a lot of

games and Tariq started last year. “We have experience, and we’re bringing

the wood.”

LEFT: Joel McClellan, Tariq Gordon, King Newton and

Andy Chelf bring a wealth of intensity and experience

to go along with plenty of hard-hits.

HEAVY HITTERSThink of Texas high school football as the old southwest.

It seems every Friday night, shootouts make up the majority of games in the state. It’s almost as if the first one to 55 wins.

While Southlake Carroll usually meets the point requirement, there is a key difference: a stout defense.

You won’t see very many teams match the Dragons score for score. In fact, Southlake Carroll surrendered a mere 17.2 points and 158 yards through the air per game. With five starters back, Southlake Carroll should be strong on defense once again.

But head coach Hal Wasson isn’t putting on his rose-colored glasses just yet.

“We have some key players we have to replace, and we’re young at some positions,” Wasson said. “I think depth on defense is a concern. But I know our guys have worked really hard this offseason, and they’re ready to step up. We’re going to be physical, and we’re going to give great effort.”

That physicality starts up front with the defensive line. The Dragons did a tremendous job of pressuring opposing quarterbacks a year ago with 24 total team sacks, but they were, at times, gashed by quality running teams.

Take the Euless Trinity playoff game — the Trojans used their potent rushing attack to rack up 448 yards on the ground and eliminate Southlake Carroll from the postseason. Overall, the Dragons gave up around 150 rushing yards per game.

As the only starter returning in the trenches, it’s imperative for senior nose tackle King Newton, who notched 79 tackles including 12 for loss and three sacks, to have an even better year in 2014 and help talented youngsters like Joey Paulsen get acclimated.

“King is going to play a huge role for us. He played a lot for us as a sophomore and started as a junior. He does a great job for us,” Wasson said. “He’s a play-maker at nose tackle, and we’re fortunate to have a great player at that position that can help some of the new guys.”

team leaders in tackles (93) and sacks (4). A first team All-District selection, he plays even bigger than his 5’-10”, 195-pound frame and has playmaking speed with a 4.55 sec. 40-yard dash. Elected captain he’s a leader on and off the field.

In addition to McClellan, Clark Parr also brings back a wealth of ex-perience and

a hard-hitting style. Parr, a Second Team All-District se-lection, is the Dragon’s lead-ing tackler through three games (36). He compiled 94 tackles and 3 sacks as a junior. Recognized as a team leader for his attitude and play on the field, he is also one of the team’s emotional leaders.

In the mold of his older brother J.B., Jacob Co-peland is an absolute

standout at the outside linebacker position. Crack-ing the regular rotation as a freshman, he impressed coaches and fans with 41 tackles and an interception. Cementing a starting role this season, expect big num-bers from this legacy player with talent and athleticism to spare.

Seeing a fair share of game action last season, Hunt-er Pensom returns from

a junior campaign in which he recorded 28 tackles and two sacks. A physical force at 6’0”, 200 pounds, Hunter takes on an increased role this season. After three games he has 23 tackles including 12 in the overtime victory over Tulsa Union.

After a solid junior year with 2nd Team All-District honors, King

Newton officially steps into his own as an experienced strong side defensive end. The son of former Cowboy great Nate Newton, King is a robust 6’2”, 255-pound defensive tackle that is ex-pected to once again wreak havoc in the trenches. Last season 12 of his 79 tackles were for a loss.

A relative newcomer to the defen-sive system, Grady’s size and skills al-

low him to compete at the defensive line where he has a nose for tackles in the backfield. He is amongst the team leaders in tackles for a loss and quarterback pres-sures. Applying defensive pressure early and often will help the defensive second-ary create a “no fly zone.”

With a high motor and intense playmak-ing abilities, Joey Paulsen

has shown he can get after the quarterback in a hurry. After three games the 6’4”, 230-pound senior is tied for the team lead in sacks (2). With a good blend of size, strength, and speed, expect him to cause major disrup-tions of 7-6A quarterbacks.

Last year’s team leader with four interceptions, Tariq Gor-don proved

to have a special set of defensive skills. With a nose for the ball, it’s no wonder Coach Hal Wasson has opted to line him up as a receiver as well. For his play on the field and leadership in the locker room Tariq was elected captain for his senior season.

Defensively the Dragons are in great shape thanks to the play of returning

1st Team All-District safety Andy Chelf. The returning team leader with 107 tack-les, Chelf has already committed to play at the next level for Purdue. Not missing a beat, the team captain is still a tackling machine who has posted 34 tackles in three games.

Stepping into the fold at cornerback, Obi Eboh joins Gordon in the defen-

sive backfield. At 6’1” with a long wingspan, he will give opposing quarterbacks fits. Impressing scouts over the summer Obi has already attracted attention from colleges like Duke, Ole Miss and Texas Tech. It won’t be long before the rest of the state recognizes his athletic talents.

Providing much needed depth, Devon-tae Hum-phrey-Wade will play a

major role in spelling two-way star Tariq Gordon. His play will be especially helpful during this season’s highly contested district matchups. It is Humphrey-Wade’s athleticism and effort that affords Wasson flexibility on both sides of the ball.

PLASTIC SURGERY: THE KEY TO HAPPINESS OR VANITY?

A Q&A with Dr. Michael Vennemeyer

Cosmetic plastic surgery is more popular than ever, yet many of us still hold beliefs that vanity is a significant factor driving people to undergo beauty-enhancing procedures. Could there be a deeper reason? Is it possible the wisdom inside our cells is driving us to achieve a better appearance? We spoke with Dr. Michael Vennemeyer of Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery in Southlake and author of “Plastic Surgery Myths Dispelled: A Consumer’s Guide.” Putting his subjective opinions aside, Dr. Vennemeyer explained what current scientific studies say about plastic surgery and happiness.. Q: Is it true that Botox improves depression? A: very recent study found that Botox injections between the eyebrows, used to treat those annoying “11” lines, can improve depression symptoms.

Q: How is this possible? A: It appears that our powerful mind-body connection is responsi-ble for this benefit. As humans, we express emotions on our face. When we frown or express sad emotions, the involved muscles send signals back to our brains that we are making these expres-sions. These signals reinforce the negative emotions and perpetu-ate feeling down in the dumps. Relaxing the muscles with Botox reduces or stops this feedback loop, breaking the cycle.

Many patients seek Botox treatments because they are concerned that frown lines make them look angry or unpleasant to other people. This new evidence shows how powerful these expressions really are—they dramatically affect how we feel, not just how others perceive us.

Q&A SESSION

Q: What else can I do to improve how I feel using my mind-body connection? A: One free, non-invasive way we can harness this power is by smiling as much as possible. Even when you are feeling down, the physical expression of smiling sends positive signals to our brains, releasing “feel good” chemicals that boost our mood. Q: Do other cosmetic procedures have the same mood-boost-ing effects as Botox? A. It is unknown whether the changes from plastic surgery procedures cause the body to send mood-elevating direct feedback to the brain. It is clear, however, that plastic surgery can have posi-tive psychological effects, regardless of how it happens.

Existing studies show improvement in confidence, self-esteem, self-perceived attractiveness, and quality of life measures. Participants in one study reported improvements in their social lives, relationships, sex lives and less depression. In effect, plastic surgery does seem to have the potential to boost happiness.

Q. But is there a limit?

A. We have all experienced that looking our best makes us feel better. There is growing evidence to explain why plastic surgery can help. It’s really not about vanity for 99 percent of the patients that walk into my office. There is a limit, however, and the key to getting the benefits starts with doing it for the right reasons.

According to Dr. Vennemeyer, finding enhanced happiness through plastic surgery is possible when you follow three simple rules. We will explore that topic in more depth next month.

Euless Trinity

You know what you’re get-ting every year with Euless Trinity. The Trojans are going to have massive linemen in the trenches on both sides of the ball and a potent rush-ing attack. 2014 is no differ-ent. Euless Trinity returns six starters on defense including defensive linemen Chris Dan-iels (6-3, 280) and Tipa Galeai (6-5, 215), who is attracting interest from numerous col-leges across the country. The Trojans did lose their leader in the heart of the defense in linebacker Inoke Ngalo, who signed with SMU, but Tobias Natee is ready to take over after an all-district season a year ago. As mentioned, Eu-less Trinity’s bread and butter on offense is its ground game. The Trojans line up in the Multiple-I and dare teams to stop running back, 1,300-yard rusher Ja’Ron Wilson. Paving the way for Wilson will be Patrick Vahe, one of the top offensive linemen in the state and a Texas commit. After a solid sophomore season as a fullback rushing for 436 yards, Tyler Natee has moved under center for the Trojans. While the Trojans should be very much in the district title race, head coach Steve Lineweaver admitted that he’s concerned about having an inexperi-enced quarterback running the show.

Coppell

Sure, Coppell only reached the area round of the playoffs last season. But remember, the Cowboys were ranked in the top 10 in Class 5A and fell in a heartbreaker to DeSoto — the Eagles went on to reach the state semifinals where they bowed out valiantly to even-tual state champion Allen. So even though Euless Trinity and Southlake Carroll are regard-ed as the district favorites, don’t count out Coppell. The Cowboys return numerous key starters on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Coppell is bringing back electrifying running back Charles West, who rushed 1,193 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. Fellow first-team all-district pick Skyler Bonneau is back under center after excelling in his first year as Coppell’s starting quarterback. Bon-neau’s primary targets will be a pair of second team all-district selections in wide receiver Josh Fink and tight end Connor Williams. Look for defensive end Chris Biggurs and linebacker Bo Anderson to rack up tackles in Coppell’s 3-4 defensive scheme — both are highly touted recruits. Defensive back Jacob Mur-ray, a Northwestern commit who recorded 55 tackles, nine pass break ups and one interception in 2013, will hold down the fort in the second-ary along with second team all-district pick Bryce Vonzur-mehlen.

or high school coaches around the state, realign-ment is sort of like a new

gift on Christmas. Sometimes, you can get the ultimate gift — a very manageable district and playoff path — and sometimes, you get something you just don’t want.

In this scenario, Southlake Carroll head coach Hal Wasson must have felt like the football Santa Claus brought him a big lump of coal this year. The Dragons went from being in a somewhat competitive district to arguably the most competitive district in all of 6A.

State powers Euless Trinity and Coppell and well-respected teams Colleyville Heritage and LD Bell create a rigorous ride to yet another district title for Southlake Carroll.

But as Wasson said, each game is as important as the next and the only thing that matters in the end is the final score.


Haltom

Haltom is looking to bounce back from a tough 3-7 season in 2013. But it’s hard to find reason for optimism. Haltom was gutted by the loss of 33 lettermen and returns just two starters on offense and four on defense. In fact, the Buffalos bring back a mere 13 lettermen. Simply put, head coach Jason Tucker has his work cut out for him in what should be a rebuilding year for the Buffalos. If Haltom is going to surprise, it will need to rely on its defense to make stops and force turnovers. That’s obviously easier said than done, but the Buffalos do have some potential on that side of the ball. Tucker has high expectations for defen-sive linemen Jaylan Cruz, a second team all-district pick, Joseph Banks and Tyree Smith, and underclassmen linebackers Deonta Cooksey and Gavin Ricks have upside for the future. As mentioned, the offense will be extremely inexperienced. Senior quarter-back Joey Optiz must step up as a leader and do everything in his power to get the ball into the hands of playmaking do-it-all athlete Dandre Reed.

L.D. Bell

Inexperience will plague L.D. Bell early on. The Blue Raid-ers return just four starters on each side of the ball, and in this meat grinder of the district, there is no room for growing pains. Simply put, L.D. Bell must grow up fast if it wants to challenge for a potential playoff spot. And that all starts up front on the defensive line, where the Blue Raiders must replace one of the biggest disrupters in the Dallas-area last season in Utah State signee Mohelika Uasike. Like Euless Trinity, L.D. Bell is known for its physicality in the trenches, so it will be up to David Dorsett (41 tackles, four sacks) and Jordan McGill (two starts a year ago) to lead the charge. Obviously in a pass-heavy district like this one, having a ball-hawking second-ary is a must. While the Blue Raiders have some holes to fill in the defensive backfield, strong safety Chad Williams (38 tackles, two interceptions) returns as the unquestioned leader of the unit. The picture on offense is a little murky at the moment. L.D. Bell runs the spread but has no experience at quarterback, which means the Blue Raiders will likely lean on running back Daniel Dorset (617 yards, seven touchdowns) and do-it-all athlete Johnny Leon early on in the season.

Colleyville Heritage

A new era is slated to begin at Colleyville Heritage as Doug Allman takes over as the team’s new head coach. All-man is coming over from Aus-tin Westlake, one of the state’s most respected programs, where he was named district coach of the year twice. So what can you expect form an Allman-coached team? Well, a little bit of everything. Allman uses an array of formations to best utilize his talent on the field. His No. 1 priority will be finding a new quarterback — seniors Clayton Oliver and Trevor Anderson will battle it out for the job but neither has much meaningful experience. The Panthers do, however, bring back seven starters on offense including big, bruising running back DeMarco Corbin. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder was used mostly in short-yardage and goal line situations last season — he scored 16 touchdowns —but will see an expanded role in 2014. The defense also returns seven starters. Under Allman, Col-leyville Heritage is expected to implement a 3-4 scheme, which will showcase the talents of defensive lineman Jason Williams (62 tackles, four sacks) and safety Ryan Phillippe (107 tackles, four interceptions).

Richland

The Rebels might be the sleeping giant in this mega-district. Yes, Richland finished with a less-than-impressive 4-6 record last season and yes, its tradition is not even close to being comparable with most teams in 7-6A. But consider this — experience often goes a long way in tight football games. And who has the most experienced team in the district? Richland. The Rebels bring back a whop-ping nine starters on each side of the ball. And with head coach Ged Kates now head-ing into his third year with the program, there is a sense of familiarity and stability. Richland also has an edge in its secondary, where honor-able mention all-state safety Hayden Davison (93 tackles, eight sacks, one interception) is sure to bring the wood. Fellow defensive back Kenny Frances and linebacker John Okello are other names to be wary of in Richland’s 3-4 system. The Rebels’ biggest challenge will be groom-ing new quarterback Eddie Thomas. But he does have some weapons to work with — wide receiver Adrien Toka was a first team all-district pick a year ago and running back CJ Hicks can break loose for a long run at any moment.

MAC MCGUIRE, KICKER Boston University

At a school known for incredible athletes, perhaps none stood out more, or were more decorated as a Dragon, than Mac McGuire. A tremendous athlete, Mac was the place kicker on the football team, anchored the 4x400 relay team and was a forward for the soccer team. A true winner he helped lead each team into the playoffs in his senior season. Even though he was a USA Today All-American selection in football, he excelled in soccer scoring 37 goals and 21 assists for the undefeated Dragon soccer squad in 2011. Now as a junior at Boston University Mac is a starting forward for Neil Roberts nationally ranked Terriers.

ASK THECOLLEGE COACH

Please submit your questions to The College Coach to

[email protected]

Dear College Coach:What should I ask college coaches during the recruiting process?

-Aspiring Athlete

Dear Aspiring:The college recruiting process is a two-way street. Coaches will review your athletic skills, academic ability and attitude to determine if you are a good fit for their teams and you should be similarly diligent in assessing whether the school and team are a good fit for you and will help you achieve your long-term goals. Here are some of the things you should investigate:

Can I pursue my major and be on

a competitive team?

What academic support do athletes receive?

Do athletes live together?

What is the daily schedule for an athlete both in season and out of season?

Am I under consideration for a scholarship?

What happens if I get injured?

What are the academic requirements of athletes?

What are the next steps in this process?

What is your recruiting timeline?

Is there any additional information I can provide to help you make a decision?
