Second to None Well-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 wideeyed 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.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE
By EJ Holland
Ryan Agnew lets the scoreboard do the talking. 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

THUNDER & LIGHTNING The backfield tandem of Lil’ Jordan Humphrey and Grant McFarlin is on the rise. Southlake Carroll has long been known for its wideopen, 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

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.

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.” 20 • FALL 14
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.”

By EJ Holland
Andy Chelf and Obi Eboh know each other like the back of their hands. 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

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

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 allstate 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 26 • FALL 14

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 Preventing injuries is key to prolonging an active lifestyle
A
ll-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, boardcertified 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 cutand-pivot motion. Dr. W. 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.
Patient Testimonials
“At age 43, I went to Dr. Greenberg for a second opinion on a knee that swelled after ultimate frisbee and had a torn PCL from an injury
30 • FALL 14
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.

The All-Star Advantage
All-Star Orthopaedics is comprised of a team of eight surgeons with experience in various areas ranging from foot surgery to neck surgery, and they count sports medicine as a significant part of their practice. Not only do they treat sports- and work-related injuries, but they also devote much of their time to instructing patients how to prevent injuries from occurring. Additionally, All-Star’s team consistently delegates assessment and conditioning tasks to athletic trainers and physical therapy colleagues in order to reduce ACL tear risks and prolong active lifestyles. All-Star Orthopaedics offers custom-tailored treatment for every patient, which they refer to as the All-Star Advantage. The practice puts patients first by providing professional care from diagnosis to surgery and rehabilitation that is convenient and close to home, and doctors always emphasize surgery as a last resort. Other nonoperative treatment options (i.e. physical therapy and medicine) are

explored before surgery is suggested. On-site X-rays ensure patients and staff get the timely results they need without a second visit, while on-site rehabilitation allows All-Star Orthopaedics’ trained therapists to offer physical therapy before or in place of surgery. If surgery is needed, the close distance between All-Star’s locations and local surgery centers simplifies the process for patients and staff, creating a seamless transition for all involved.

BUSINESS PROFILE
EXECUTIVE MEDICINE OF TEXAS Taking an Individual Approach
E
xecutive 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.

QB Ryan Agnew Senior
In his second 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 touchdowns. Making the most of his athleticism and a patented spin move, he rushed for an additional 1,254 yards and 20 touchdowns last season.

RB Lil’ Jordan Humphrey Junior
The younger brother of former Dragon and Rice University receiver Evan Fentriss, Parker continues the family tradition.

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 receivers. 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.
WR Ryan
Ascending to the role as the Dragon’s primary rusher, Lil’ Jordan is already taking the experience he gained last season (676 yards, 6.4 yds/carry) spelling A.J. Ezzard 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 opposing defenses.
Another valuable athlete in the Dragon receiver rotation, Ryan McGiboney 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.
McGiboney Senior
WR Tariq Gordon Senior
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 knowledge 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.

However, he has the unenviable job of replacing the vacancy left behind when all-district performer Evan Brown graduated and went to SMU. Lucas continues to gain valuable game experience with each snap and will be a formidable lineman for the Dragons this year and next.
Anchoring this year’s offensive 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 schedule with an injury, the 6’2’’, 240-pound senior captain, is eager to step into live action.

Missing time due to offseason injuries, Drew Jakala leaves a 6’4”, 266-pound hole up front for the Dragons.

It is rare that an underclassman can step into a starting role at offensive line for any high school team. However, Ryan Miller has done just that replacing 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.
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 protection technique, footwork and size to the test. Expect Chase to only get better as the season progresses.
74 The next in a long line of talented and successful kickers, Jake Oldroyd will take on the roles of place kicking and punting. In doing so, he replaces Drew Brown, who is now a member of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Sam Downey. Early in the season he’s shown toughness and consistency hitting field goals in some very close games.

In the mold of his older brother J.B., Jacob Copeland is an absolute standout at the outside linebacker position. Cracking 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 numbers from this legacy player with talent and athleticism to spare.
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 expected to once again wreak havoc in the trenches. Last season 12 of his 79 tackles were for a loss.
LB Clark Parr Senior
In addition to McClellan, Clark Parr also brings back a wealth of experience and a hard-hitting style. Parr, a Second Team All-District selection, is the Dragon’s leading 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.
Seeing a fair share of game action last season, Hunter 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.

PLASTIC SURGERY: THE KEY TO HAPPINESS OR VANITY?
Q: What else can I do to improve how I feel using my mind-body connection?
A Q&A with Dr. Michael Vennemeyer
Q: Do other cosmetic procedures have the same mood-boosting effects as Botox?
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 responsible 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 expressions. These signals reinforce the negative emotions and perpetuate 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.

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.
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 positive psychological effects, regardless of how it happens. Existing studies show improvement in confidence, selfesteem, 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.

or high school coaches around the state, realignment 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.
60 • FALL 14
Euless Trinity
Coppell
You know what you’re getting 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 rushing attack. 2014 is no different. Euless Trinity returns six starters on defense including defensive linemen Chris Daniels (6-3, 280) and Tipa Galeai (6-5, 215), who is attracting interest from numerous colleges 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, Euless 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 inexperienced quarterback running the show.
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 eventual state champion Allen. So even though Euless Trinity and Southlake Carroll are regarded 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. Bonneau’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 Murray, a Northwestern commit who recorded 55 tackles, nine pass break ups and one interception in 2013, will hold down the fort in the secondary along with second team all-district pick Bryce Vonzurmehlen.
DRAGON PRIDE
Colleyville Heritage A new era is slated to begin at Colleyville Heritage as Doug Allman takes over as the team’s new head coach. Allman is coming over from Austin 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, Colleyville 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).
SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM
Richland
L.D. Bell
Haltom
The Rebels might be the sleeping giant in this megadistrict. 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 whopping nine starters on each side of the ball. And with head coach Ged Kates now heading into his third year with the program, there is a sense of familiarity and stability. Richland also has an edge in its secondary, where honorable 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 grooming 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.
Inexperience will plague L.D. Bell early on. The Blue Raiders 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 passheavy district like this one, having a ball-hawking secondary 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.
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 defensive 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 quarterback 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.

CLARK PARR Varsity Football, Linebacker I joined the football team because: I always wanted to be a varsity Carroll Dragon since I started playing football in second grade. Why do you have Dragon Pride? I have grown up as a Dragon, and have always believed that it is a great honor to be able to protect, and continue the tradition that belongs to our community. What is your pre-game ritual? Before the game it is all about having a calm mind and relaxed nerves, understanding what you need to expect on the field and what is expected of you. We have a defensive meeting with our coach to go over assignments and then a team prayer. Favorite classes in school: Forensic Science.

Future plans: Attend a University, and study business or engineering. Can be heard on the sidelines saying: Discussing what we are seeing on the field. Can be seen on the sidelines: Analyzing what the other team is running and what we can do to stop it.

SABIAN HOLMES, WIDE RECEIVER Texas A&M University As a Dragon Sabian Holmes was an exalted two-way talent playing major minutes at both defensive back and wide receiver. Utilizing his speed and football IQ, the son of current Dragon Coach Tony Holmes, became a favorite target of Kenny Hill during the 2011 state championship run. As a senior he caught 85 passes for 1,336 yards and 14 touchdowns earning distinction as the 7-5A MVP and second-team All-State honors. Choosing Texas A&M he quickly saw game action as a freshman playing in all 13 games. Now in his junior season he is once again connecting with Kenny Hill on a regular basis as he averages 21.4 yards per catch on the season.

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 THE COLLEGE COACH Stef Mauler
Stef Mauler is an independent educational consultant. She has an MBA from Harvard Business School, a BA from University of Pennsylvania, and a Certificate in College Counseling from UC San Diego.
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?
Please submit your questions to The College Coach to info@themaulerinstitute.com
