Dairy Queen and the Southlake Sports Kingdom

Southlake is a one-sport town.

Those not in the know might believe such a statement—and some of the area’s high school football fanatics may agree. With eight state championships and scores of renowned coaches and athletes, it is hard to argue over the heritage that is Southlake Carroll football.

But a one-sport town? That’s like saying Southlake is a one-restaurant town. Sure, back in the day there was a Dairy Queen and not much else. But the days marked by a short list of dining options are long gone—as are the days of a short list of state championships.

Since 2011, the year of the last football state title, Southlake Carroll student athletes have brought home no less than 20 team and individual state championships. The reign of athletic dominance once reserved for the gridiron now includes a wide variety of athletic and academic excellence responsible for three consecutive UIL Lone Star Cups—and as of the writing of this letter, Southlake is the front-runner to extend the streak another year.

Adding to the Dragon dominance of late: Coach Kevin Murphy and the Carroll Swim and Dive team. In just a decade, Murphy has built a perennial powerhouse with a wave of five consecutive state championships.

The school’s most recent title entry was made earlier this month by Matt Glenn’s Dragon Boys Golf team. Led by tournament champion Colin Kober, the team placed three members in the state’s top 10 finishers—t o of which will be returning next year.

Swimming, diving, cross country, golf, wrestling—what’s next?

That would be lacrosse, the newest colony within the Southlake sports kingdom. The sport itself dates back to the 17th century, but don’t tell your kids. They just think it’s fun. For that reason alone, lacrosse has become the fastest growing sport in Texas, and in our city, the Southlake Carroll Lacrosse Association outfits enough teams to keep not one, but two lacrosse specialty stores in business.

Not bad for a city that used to sport one lonely Dairy Queen.

Reaching Their Potential

09

The Dragons lost six starters from last year’s playoff team, including Alex Schneider and Lauren Heintzelman, who signed with Ole Miss and Virginia, respectively. The amount of leadership and experience graduated cannot be duplicated. But at every program at Southlake Carroll, the phrase always seems to be next girl up.

While the Dragons might be young, Southlake Carroll coach Tim Stuewe says there is plenty to be optimistic about. After all, an influx of talen ed underclassmen is quickly rising up the ranks.

If Stuewe can mold the potential, the Dragons have a chance to be special this spring.

“Based off of last year’s team, we didn’t know what to expect. We lost seven seniors and six were full-time players,” Stuewe says. “We basically have three full-time players coming back. A lot of the starters were on JV last year, so there was a lot of unknown. But we knew we had potential, and we were excited about the year.”

Southlake Carroll opened the year with a crushing 8-7 loss to Birdville in mid-February. While no players ever want to see a check in the loss column, it was a good showing for a team comprised mostly of players who hadn’t seen much varsity action.

The moral victory gave the Dragons confiden e heading into the three-day Bryan/College Station Tournament. The field of 64 eams included 51 who made the playoffs a year ago, then-No. 1 ranked Deer Park and defending tournament champion Humble Atascocita.

The advanced level of competition didn’t faze Southlake Carroll. The Dragons opened the tournament with wins over Georgetown and La Porte behind dominating performances from pitchers Cami Green and Jessica Tunink. The duo allowed just two runs combined.

A 7-1 loss to familiar foe Birdville in the next round of the tournament was a setback, but Southlake Carroll rebounded with an impressive 8-6 victory over Fort Worth Brewer. Then it appeared as if the fatigue from a grueling weekend event set in, as the Dragons fell to Magnolia, 12-1, and closed out the tournament with an 11-1 loss to Elgin.

It wasn’t exactly the result Stuewe and company were expecting, but the tournament helped shape the team with experience and chemistry. Next up on the slate was the district opener against Coppell.

Led by outfielder Mc enzie Schneider, the Dragons put on a hitting clinic in a 15-5 romp over their rivals. It was an exciting start to district play, but Southlake Carroll still had to wrap up its non-district schedule with the Southlake Carroll Tournament.

The Dragons stumbled out of the gates on their home turf and suffered an opening round loss to Denton Guyer. The Dragons, however, responded once again, this time with victories over Lubbock — a 7-6 thriller — and Amarillo Caprock, 4-2.

Southlake Carroll entered the meat of its district slate right where most expected it to — a just above .500 team still growing and trying to find onsistency on the mound, at the plate and on the field

“Our non-district schedule was very competitive. I think our girls really benefit ed from it,” Stuewe says. “It was crazy with the weather. We lost nine games and some tournaments because of it. But I think a big thing we developed was team chemistry. “With this group of ladies, there is no superstar.

Youth and potential best describes this yeari

s Southlake Carroll softball team.

T

This is a true team. That has probably been the biggest asset for us because we play really well together. These girls are actually friends on and off the field ”

If there is a superstar, it’s Christina Hill. The junior fir t baseman finished hot a ear ago to help the Dragons reach the second round of the playoffs and earned fir t team all-district honors.

Hill picked up right where she left off as she leads the team with 28 hits and 17 RBIs. Stuewe says Hill is an invaluable part of the team.

“Christina has been phenomenal for us this season,” he says. “She’s defini ely helped in the hitting department. She’s found her groove and is really swinging the bat well. She’s not a speaker, but she works hard and leads by example. She’s hitting out of the three hole and has blossomed into a power hitter.”

Hill is batting .467 and is a big reason Southlake Carroll is on a seven-game winning streak. After the Southlake Carroll Tournament, the Dragons reentered district play by blasting Richland 19-4 in a game that saw sophomore designated hitter Kasside Kirkham go hard.

The Dragons followed that up by shutting out Euless Trinity, pummeling Colleyville Heritage and Haltom, and rocking Hurst L.D. Bell. Southlake Carroll now sits at 14-5 overall and all alone in fir t place in District 7-6A after three more wins over Coppell, Richland and Euless Trinity. With three games to go, Southlake Carroll was in prime position to win the district and make a run in the playoffs. And they capitalized — the Lady Dragons finished with a 4 3 victory over Colleyville Heritage to win their fir t district championship since 2004.

“Hitting the ball well was a strong suit of last year’s team. It was really about how we were swinging the bats, and this year’s group is doing that now,” Stuewe said. “They’ve been really hitting the ball well in district. I think we’ve played as well as we can, and we’ve scored as much as we can.”

Through nine district games, the Dragons scored 128 runs — that’s an average of 14.2 runs per game. Southlake Carroll has scored at least 11 runs in eight of those nine games. As mentioned, Hill has been wrecking shop, but Kirkham, senior third baseman Gretchen Morgan and freshman outfielder AbigailStuart are all batting over .400 as well.

It’s not all about the bats, though. Southlake Carroll pitchers Green and Tunink have combined for 35 strikeouts and have given up one run or less in three of the six district games.

“Tunink pitched for us last year, and Green saw limited action on varsity,” Stuewe says. “We lost Alex Schneider, who is going to Ole Miss, but Green and Tunink have done a good job of throwing strikes for us. They’re not going to mow you down, but they allow grounder that we can get to and make plays on. The defense is playing well behind them.”

Some teams never reach their full potential, but with a good mix of pitching and hitting and youth that is growing up quickly, Southlake Carroll is exceeding it.

hey call it “the fastest game on two feet.” It’s not soccer. It’s not hockey. It’s lacrosse, the sport that’s transforming the landscape of Texas athletics.

Lacrosse isn’t new. It’s been around since the 17th century. The sport has just traditionally been played in the Northeast, while the South stuck to its football-loving roots.

That’s all changing, though. The Lone Star State is swiftly becoming the land of lacrosse – especially in Southlake.

The sport is all around – and it’s growing. Just consider these facts: The city opened North Park, a semi-exclusive lacrosse venue, in 2012. There are not one, but two lacrosse shops in Southlake – Lacrosse Unlimited and Team LAX. Dragon Stadium hosted its fir t-ever D1 lacrosse game in April.

Oh, and Southlake is home to one of the largest lacrosse organizations in North Texas: the Southlake Carroll Lacrosse Association (SCLA). It has approximately 1,400 parents and players from fir t grade through 12th grade, and 26 boys’ and girls’ teams.

Lacrosse? In a region where football is akin to religion? Absolutely. In fact, lacrosse is the ideal counterpart to football and many other sports.

“Texas will always be football country, and lacrosse is the perfect sport to complement and condition young athletes during the off season,” says Matt Deno, President of the SCLA. “Lacrosse is attractive as it complements the creativity and conditioning of soccer, develops hand/eye coordination like baseball, and contributes to overall fitne s and coordination.”

It’s for these reasons that athletes in Southlake – and around the country – are picking up their lacrosse sticks and hitting the fields.

At the high-school level, lacrosse is the fastest-growing sport in the nation. There were more than 772,000 players on organized lacrosse teams in 2014, an increase of 3.5 percent from 2013, according to U.S. Lacrosse, the sport’s national governing body. Last year marked the 11th consecutive year that the net increase of players topped at least 20,000.

The largest segment of participation is at the youth level (players under age 15), with nearly 425,000 athletes nationwide. From 2009 to 2014, boys’ lacrosse experienced a growth rate of 27.8 percent, with a 31.2 percent growth rate for girls’ lacrosse. No other sport had a growth rate above 10 percent.

SPRING 15 • 19

A SPORT THAT’S EASY TO LOVEAthletes are drawn to the sport, but why is it suddenly so popular in Southlake? It’s not the novelty of it or the chance to participate in an engaging, fast-moving sport. It’s quite simply because lacrosse is, well, fun.

“The recent surge in the popularity of lacrosse is because it’s a fun sport to play,” says Bart Sullivan, Head Boys’ Lacrosse Coach for Southlake Carroll. “Any good instinctual athlete can pick up the game pretty quickly.”

Clayton Schneider, who manages the Lacrosse Unlimited shop in Southlake, agrees. “Lacrosse is fun to watch and exciting to play. It allows you to play a physical and cathartic sport with a lower rate of serious injuries than football,” he says.

Plus, it’s a sport that welcomes players of all ages and experience levels.

“Lacrosse is truly America’s game and was created by Native Americans to build strength, endurance and teamwork,” says Deno. “The growth is because it’s an active, contemporary game that allows players to develop at their own speed.”

Faith Richards, Head Girls’ Lacrosse Coach for Southlake Carroll, notes that lacrosse is a fairly new sport to most players in the area. And that’s okay. Lacrosse is easily learned.

“Lacrosse is a fantastic mixture of hand/eye coordination, physicality, quick footwork and stamina,” Richards says. “If a player wants to learn a sport that’s fast-paced and on a large field, but maybe she’s not a competitive soccer player, then lacrosse is a perfect fit ”

LOOKING AHEADWith the growing popularity of lacrosse in Southlake, the challenge hasn’t been recruiting players; it’s been finding oaches.

Both Sullivan and Richards are originally from the North, and as more people migrate to Southlake from parts of the country with strong lacrosse communities, the SCLA benefits. It has been able to attain many skillful volunteer coaches who played the sport growing up or at the collegiate level. As a result, the sport is really starting to shape up in Southlake.

“The Southlake lacrosse community of parents and players is beginning to understand what it takes to become a successful program. We’re seeing more lacrosse goals in yards and sticks in hands,” says Richards. “Having North Park also sets our program apart from most others in North Texas and helps create a home-field tmosphere.”

Are there any challenges that come with the growth of lacrosse in Southlake? Sure. But they don’t faze Deno. When there are nearly 30 teams and 500 players participating in a season that runs all year, there are bound to be some challenges – and surprises, too.

“Availability and cost of fields continue to be a challenge,” Deno says, “but we are fortunate to have support and good working relationships with both the City of Southlake Parks and Rec department along with Carroll ISD.

“As for surprises, I expect them. With a Board of 18 volunteers, we tackle each one with one goal in mind: the player,” he adds.

Lacrosse isn’t just the trendy new sport in Southlake. It’s here to stay. Some high-school athletes have already played at the D1 level and earned scholarships.

“I think within the next 10 years, Texas will be a top-tier lacrosse state,” Schneider says. “The sport has done nothing but exponentially grow, and it gets bigger and bigger every year.”

There’s no telling just how big lacrosse will grow, but one thing is certain: Southlake is on the right path.

“Our main vision for the future is to keep growing our program, to create the best system of player development in the world and to consistently compete for varsity state championships,” says Sullivan. “We are on the verge of creating something really special.”

ABOUT THE TEAMThe Carroll Boys varsity soccer team had an up and down year yet finishe the sea-son with a winning record of 10-9-5 (6-3-1). Finishing third in a rugged district 7-6A the Dragons stood toe-to-toe with some of the tougher teams in the state of Texas, eventu-ally ending its season in the area round of the playoffs as they lost to Flower Mound, 2-1. Beginning its season in the Richland Winter Blast Tournament, Greg Oglesby’s ball club tied four of its fi st fi e opponents, including a 1-1 draw against district 5-6A runner up Keller Central. Following the Rich-land Winter Blast, the Dragons participated in the Denton Guyer Iron Bridge Classic, in which the green and white boasted a 2-1-0 record, beating both Keller Timber Creek and the host Denton Ryan in the process. One of the bigger highlights of the Dragon season came during district play as Southlake Car-roll slowed down top fi e nationally ranked Coppell, finishing their second meeting of the season in a 0-0 draw. Tying Coppell seemed only a stepping-stone as Oglesby’s team handed area powerhouse South Grand Prairie its only loss of the season, in a 1-0 thriller in the bi-district round of the playoffs. As the green and white continued to make strides all season, look for much improve-ment in 2016.

S E A S O N U P D A T E10-9-5 (6-3-1 DISTRICT)

This has been one of the more enjoyable teams to coach due to their tremendous work ethic and energy level.” – Head Coach Greg Oglesby

Southlake faced quite a daunting task in the 2014-2015 season. Returning eight players from last year’s team, the Dragons were forced to search for new offensive weapons as they graduated the core of Walker Beasley, Jack Parrish and Shane Carpenter. With the return of senior defenseman and scoring threat Cole Manning, the Dragons were able to muster up some of its production from a year ago en route to another winning season. Building its season on work ethic and energy level, Carroll outhustled many of its opponents as it stayed afloat in one of the tougher districts in all of 6A. Manning along with fellow senior Ricardo Becerra formed a for-midable scoring duo pacing the Dragons with seven goals each. Senior defensemen Alex Kluge proved to be one of the better set up artist for the Dragons leading the team with six assists. Finishing the season with a 2-1 loss to Flower Mound on penalty kicks may not have been the way the Drag-ons envisioned ending the season, but it doesn’t take away from the fact Greg Oglesby’s squad had a successful year. With greener pastures on the horizon, the Carroll Dragons will be back next year.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Although the Lady Dragons playoff run may have ended too soon this year, there’s plenty for the fourth ranked team in the state of Texas to hang its collective hat on. Under Head Coach Matt Colvin, the team posted a 23-3-2 record this season. Defeating the defending State Cham-pion Hebron Hawks in the fi st round of playoffs, ninth ranked Trophy Club Byron Nelson and Monterrey, the Dragons looked as though they could reach their fi st state championship since 2008. However, the team eventually fell short to district rival, Coppell, 3-0 in the Regional Final. Cop-pell proved to be the only formidable opponent for the Lady Dragons as they lost two out of their three meetings with the Cowboys, while tying the other one to begin district play. Going undefeated in the Northwest Invitational, the Lady Dragons cruised through early season play, also going undefeated in the George Town Lady Governor’s Cup, and the NEPS Texas Showcase, where they beat out-of-state opponent El Camino (Calif.). With plenty to look forward to next season, the Lady Dragons will return to prominence.

The seniors are the backbone of our program. Their commitment and servant leadership played a vital part in this team’s success. – Head Coach Matt Colvin

’15

Returning eight players from last year’s senior-laden team, the Lady Dragons lost one more game than a season ago, while equaling its 2013-2014 win total with 23. Finishing the season ranked 11th in the Top Drawer Soccer national polls, Carroll combined a very potent offense and a strong defensive back-line as its formula for success. Led by junior forward Grace Cory who led the team in both goals (18) and assists (16), the Dragons finish d fourth in the DFW area in goals scored on the season. The team scored 104 times while averaging a stellar 5.0 goals per game. Helping share the goal-scoring load was senior forward Danielle Dennis and junior forward Allie Luna, who finish d the year with 16 goals a piece. Sophomore Allysin Gardener proved to be one of the better setup artists in the area as she finish d the year second on the team with 14 assists. As the offense presented plenty of fi epower for one of the state’s top teams, the defense was nothing short of spectacular. The stingy Carroll defense partnered with strong goaltending from a pair of senior goalkeepers in Kaitlyn Doll and Jamie Phelps to rank fifth in the area allowing less than a goal per contest (0.3 gpg).

ABOUT THE TEAM

Ranked fi th in the DFW area by HSGame-time, the Dragons 16-4 (5-4) have had a solid year with fi e games left in the regular season. Starting the year off hot, the Dragons won their fi st 12 contests while competing in one of the toughest districts in the state. Duking out it with ranked opponents Euless Trinity and Coppell for 7-6A supremacy, the Dragons ranked fourth in the 7-6A standings as of late April. Larry Hughes’ ball club has won three of their last four, including a 7-2 victory over district leader Euless Trinity. The Dragons had success in re-cent tournaments where they swept opponents in both the Mid-Cities tournament and the Round Rock Classic earlier this season. With the Dragon pitching staff again showing dominance it has been a superb year thus far. The staff only gave up one run during the entire Mid Cities tournament. Led by star pitcher and outfi lder Kevin Cramer, who’s .875 era ranks in the top 20 in the area, the Dragon pitching staff boasts several key components that should help them make a strong postseason run. With the regular season coming to a close, Southlake is looking to play its best baseball of the year.

S E A S O N U P D A T E16-4 (5-4 DISTRICT)

We started very well and lost some close games, but this is a very fun group.

– Head Coach Larry Hughes

Coming off a 34-6 season that saw Southlake Carroll make it all the way to the 5A Region 1 Finals before being swept by Arlington Martin, there were lofty expectations for the Dragon baseball team coming into this season. Having graduated 13 seniors from last year’s ball club, Head Coach Larry Hughes knew his team would have to reload in order to duplicate the success of the program from a season ago. Featuring one of the area’s top pitching staffs that includes upperclassmen Kevin Cramer, Matthew Canterino, Trent Allen and Hill Garbo, the Dragons have found ways to reload as three of the four are pitching at the varsity level for the fi st time. Combining for nine wins and only one loss, the pitching staff’s lack of experience hasn’t been an issue for the green and white even without star pitching ace and Okla-homa State commit Ben Leeper. The Dragon bats are led by senior catcher Nic Motley, who leads the team in homeruns, batting average and RBI’s with (5), (.471) and (20) respectively. Carroll wide receiver and outfie der Zach

Farrar is second on the team with a batting averaging of .463. With fi e games left in the regular season, look for Larry

Hughes’ team to come up big when it matters most.

ABOUT THE TEAM

It has been quite a successful sea-son for the Southlake Carroll tennis team as it moves forward toward the regional tournament at the end of April. Having already defeated district foe Coppell, 10-4, to take the 7-6A district crown, the green and white ten-nis program is looking to piggyback on its earlier success as it makes a run at a state championship. Rank-ing No. 7 in the state according to TexasTennisCoaches.com, the Dragons have already garnered plenty of success on their way to becoming 7-6A district champions.

The Dragons placed 11 players in the Region 1 tournament as the doubles team of Ashley Kim and Brooke Eila took home the 7-6A district crown and quali-fi d for regionals along with the doubles pair of Cameron Wang and Debora Rao. After defeating the top two ranked doubles teams in the state, the duo of Landers and Merklin advanced to this month’s UIL State Tournament.

”

Coach Corey Aldridge’s squad has flourished in many of its early season tournaments including the Keller Tournament and the McKinney Invitational. With the boy’s team having the most success in its singles matches, sophomore Alec Reusche has had quite a second year in the program. Winning the 7-6A district tournament, Keller Tournament and McKinney Invitational, Reusche has been on top of his game when it has mattered most. His impressive serve and net game has been domi-nant on the singles court all season long. Carroll’s mixed doubles teams have also had some success this year with the duo of freshman Taylor Reusche and junior Brady McClanahan. Taking home fi st place at the Tall City tournament, while also finishing second in the district tournament, they have had a very consistent year. Not to be outdone, the pair of Matt Landers and Clara Merkin have also had stellar seasons. Although Landers arrived to the tennis season late while tending to his starting point guard duties for the Carroll basketball team, he wasted little time making an impression. The senior took home the district title with mixed partner Clara Merkin.

ABOUT THE TEAMThe Southlake Carroll lacrosse program has grown tremendously in the past few years. Coming off a season in which the program made the Elite Eight in last year’s state playoffs, the Dragons are looking to make things interesting in another post-season. Although not officially affilia ed as a UIL sport, the Carroll program has been consistently producing talent at the colle-giate level for years while beating some of the top lacrosse programs in the state of Texas. Sitting at (8-9) this season, the Dragons have traveled to California while also taking on some of the best teams in South Texas and have used its tough early season schedule to prepare for its late season push. Southlake Carroll is hunting for a playoff spot with two games left in the regular season. As the playoffs still look manageable for the green and white, the stakes have risen as Southlake must win to get in. Producing several Division 1 prospects from this year’s team, Southlake has plenty of fi epower. With an impressive array of Division 1-cal-iber athletes, the Dragons have a proven presence on the fi ld. Finishing up the regular season with a home game against Keller and a Senior Night rendezvous with Coppell, the Dragons have their eyes toward the postseason.

We are on the verge of creating something really special.– Head Coach Bart Sullivan

’15

The team has a bright future with plenty of developing young talent. But the time is now for talented senior attackman Michael Cox. The division one commit to Sienna College has a high motor and nose for the goal. Fellow seniors Ryan Juriardini and face off men Zach Bach and Tyler Iniguez round out the upperclassmen on offense. The Dragon defensive effort is reinforced by seniors Alex Barnes, Josh Sommerhalder and Brennan Mollere.

The Dragons also have a wealth of talent and potential in juniors Dean DiBello, Holt Stairs and Nathan Beam who are contributing signifi ant minutes. However, the most polished of them all, fellow junior defenseman Jack Welding has already committed to play at the next level for the University of Maryland. Evident of the recent growth of the sport in Southlake, the 2015 roster also includes a large sophomore class which is headlined by goalie Luke Millican. Millican, an early University of Pennsylvania commit, returns after a stellar freshman year where he was honored as the team’s 2014 Defensive MVP and as a District Honorable Mentions selection. He is joined by fellow classmate Casey Wasserman, a high-scoring attackman who has verbally committed to Furman University. Rounding it out are George Elmquist, Victor Simpson and Michael Tsay on defense, and Carson Green and AJ Van den Dyssel on offense.

ABOUT THE TEAMWith a thrilling 4-3 victory over rival Colleyville Heritage, the Lady Drag-ons secured an undefeated district season and their fi st district cham-pionship since 2004. The team owes its district dominance to a healthy scoring spurt of 9.7 runs per game. The Lady Dragons have been on a tear of late behind steady hitting and timely team defense. Three games ahead of nearest competitor Hurst L.D. Bell for the 7-6A district crown, the Lady Dragons must continue to play with the same amount of hun-ger they entered district play with. Having not lost a game since a 10-0 defeat at the hands of Denton Ryan in the Southlake Carroll tournament in March, Stuewe’s ball club has taken it upon itself to be accountable as the season wears on. Perhaps already well-prepared for a postseason run, the Lady Dragons have a better record on the road than at home, and they have been successful in each of their two tournaments this season. The team has come together nicely, and the Lady Dragons are ready to make a playoff run after a very successful regular season.

Although last season was viewed as a success with an 18-12 record and an appearance in the Area round of the 5A state playoffs, the Southlake Carroll softball team knew there was room for improvement. Head Coach Tim Stuewe had the task of revamping a roster that would only see two of its players return from a year ago. Loaded with underclassmen and only three seniors on this year’s roster, the Dragons have taken on the task of improving one game at a time. As new faces have become the staple of the Carroll Softball pro-gram, new bats have helped the team try and reach its goal. Freshman Abigail Stuart has been a pleasant surprise for the green and white as she leads the team in homeruns (5) and (27) RBI, while also pacing the team with a batting average of .480. Tied for second in the area in homeruns, the talented freshman is also in the top 10 in the area in RBI as the regular season draws near its close. After having a successful season a year ago, junior Mckenzie Schneider has stepped up her play as she’s tied for the

team lead in RBI (23). Junior fi st baseman Christina Hill has also provided the offensive spark batting .467 out of the

three-hole. The pitching of senior Jessica Tunink and junior Cami Green have been integral to Southlake’s success. The duo has combined for an impressive 13 wins and 46 strikeouts. As the Dragons look to finish up district play without a blemish on their record, look for a deep postseason run in 2015.

The Lady Dragon softball team is made up of a group of wonderful young ladies. They are a true team—always there for each other, working to get better. – Head Coach Tim Stuewe

ABOUT THE TEAMThe Dragons garnered plenty of early-season success and if there was one recurring theme for Coach Matt Glenn’s golf program, it was top-three finish s, as the Dragons finish d in the top three in 16 of their tournaments this season. The Dragon Black team took home the district championship with a score of 566 while the Dragon Green’s 590 locked up second place. In doing so, the squads landed a stun-ning nine players to the all-district team. Ranking second in the state behind Austin Westlake, Southlake didn’t let up taking the Region 1 tour-nament and saving their very best for the state tournament. At the state tournament Southlake bested Austin Westlake 588 to 595 to take home the state championship! Colin Kober was the state’s top performer with a two-day score of 142. Teammates Mason Greenberg (145— 2nd place) and George Gardner (149—9th place) paced the Dragons all placing within the tournament’s top 10.

R O S T E RR O S T E R’15

Loaded with upperclassmen, the Dragon boys have plenty of big-time, big-moment experience as they boast eight seniors on the 2015 varsity golf roster. With plenty of experience comes great expectations, and Southlake Carroll has risen to the occasion countless times throughout the season. Juniors Mason Greenberg and Colin Kober, along with seniors George Gardner and Hunter Glenn finish d 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the 7-6A district competition. Kober’s score of 137 paced the district as both Dragon squads proceeded to take up the fi st eight spots on the leaderboard. Kober, who parlayed a strong sophomore campaign into an even better junior season, has finish d in the top 10 in three tournaments this season. Mason Greenberg has also had a season to remember finishing in the top three in three tournaments including a second place finish in the district tournament. Greenberg shared the title at the Boys CTSO in early December shooting a 140 to tie teammate George Gardener for the lead. As the Drag-ons make their push toward state this season, there’s plenty to look forward to in the upcoming years for the Southlake Carroll golf program.

P ROM OTION

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, 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. Dr. W. Grear Hurt, one of All-Star Orthopaedics’ board-certifie 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.

BUSINESS PROFILE

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 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.

Areas of Specialty All-Star Orthopaedics works with a variety of specialists devoted to treating specific conditions. Their physician staff includes general orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine experts, a hand surgeon, a foot and ankle surgeon, a spine and neck surgeon as well as joint replacement specialists. All of the doctors at All-Star Orthopaedics typically recommended surgery as a last resort. When surgery is necessary, they are committed to treating you with the most up-to-date, minimally invasive techniques, which not only reduce recovery time and levels of discomfort but also the size of a patient’s scar when compared to traditional methods of surgery.

ALL-STAR ORTHOPAEDICS

Preventing Injuries is Key to Prolonging an Active Lifestyle

PR OMOTION

Foot and Ankle Surgery: Whether mild or severe, conditions of the foot and ankle can have dramatic effects on your livelihood and often become worse over time. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you relieve the pain and rehabilitate the function of your feet and ankles with a range of treatment options performed by board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians. Hand Surgery: General aches and pains, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, injury, tennis elbow and other conditions affecting the hands can be treated by a board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist at All-Star Orthopaedics. Spinal Surgery: All-Star Orthopaedics has a specialized center specifically devoted to treatment of conditions affecting the back, neck and spine. Whether you suffer from mild lower back pain or more serious spinal afflictions, our board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal surgeon can dramatically improve your way of living. Joint Replacement: The breakdown and/or loss of joint cartilage is not only painful, but it can also be extremely debilitative and dramatically reduce your ability to engage in even the simplest activities. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you with effective joint replacement procedures that can significantly improve function in a variety of body areas. Sports Medicine: Muscle sprains, sports injuries, arthritis and more can be treated by the board-certified sports medicine specialists at All-Star Orthopaedics. Their experienced physicians and orthopaedic specialists can provide both operative and non-operative care for a range of conditions. General Orthopaedics: Disease, trauma and the effects of age and strain on our bodies can be treated with a number of options. Whether you suffer from arthritis, tendonitis, osteoporosis or conditions that might necessitate joint replacement, the board-certified experts at All-Star Orthopaedics can help.

The All-Star AdvantageAll-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 non-operative 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.

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, 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. Dr. W. Grear Hurt, one of All-Star Orthopaedics’ board-certifie 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.

BUSINESS PROFILE

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 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.

Areas of Specialty All-Star Orthopaedics works with a variety of specialists devoted to treating specific conditions. Their physician staff includes general orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine experts, a hand surgeon, a foot and ankle surgeon, a spine and neck surgeon as well as joint replacement specialists. All of the doctors at All-Star Orthopaedics typically recommended surgery as a last resort. When surgery is necessary, they are committed to treating you with the most up-to-date, minimally invasive techniques, which not only reduce recovery time and levels of discomfort but also the size of a patient’s scar when compared to traditional methods of surgery.

ALL-STAR ORTHOPAEDICS

Preventing Injuries is Key to Prolonging an Active Lifestyle

P ROM OTION

Foot and Ankle Surgery: Whether mild or severe, conditions of the foot and ankle can have dramatic effects on your livelihood and often become worse over time. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you relieve the pain and rehabilitate the function of your feet and ankles with a range of treatment options performed by board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians. Hand Surgery: General aches and pains, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, injury, tennis elbow and other conditions affecting the hands can be treated by a board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist at All-Star Orthopaedics. Spinal Surgery: All-Star Orthopaedics has a specialized center specifically devoted to treatment of conditions affecting the back, neck and spine. Whether you suffer from mild lower back pain or more serious spinal afflictions, our board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal surgeon can dramatically improve your way of living. Joint Replacement: The breakdown and/or loss of joint cartilage is not only painful, but it can also be extremely debilitative and dramatically reduce your ability to engage in even the simplest activities. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you with effective joint replacement procedures that can significantly improve function in a variety of body areas. Sports Medicine: Muscle sprains, sports injuries, arthritis and more can be treated by the board-certified sports medicine specialists at All-Star Orthopaedics. Their experienced physicians and orthopaedic specialists can provide both operative and non-operative care for a range of conditions. General Orthopaedics: Disease, trauma and the effects of age and strain on our bodies can be treated with a number of options. Whether you suffer from arthritis, tendonitis, osteoporosis or conditions that might necessitate joint replacement, the board-certified experts at All-Star Orthopaedics can help.

The All-Star AdvantageAll-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 non-operative 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.

STEERING THE SHIP

Carroll Head Swim Coach Kevin Murphy

Leads Team to its Fifth Straight State Title

evin Murphy still remembers the first day he walked into the 40,000-square-foot aquatics center at Southlake Carroll.

Murphy was coaching for Bryan — located just outside of College Station — and at the time was simply amazed with the

facility. After all, it boasted a state-of-the-art 186-foot by 75-foot pool, 700 seats for spectators and even a spa.

As he stood there in amazement, Murphy asked himself when he was going to be able to coach swimmers and divers in a place best described as an aquatic palace. Three years later, Murphy got his shot — coincidentally at Southlake Carroll.

“I was coaching in Oklahoma, which was a little bit of a different market. Then I coached in Bryan, which was different from a socioeconomic standpoint,” Murphy says. “It was just hard to get warm bodies to swim, but we experienced some success.”

About his time before Carroll, Murphy explains, “God made me work out in the desert. It shaped me. I had to learn the craft of coaching before making it to Southlake Carroll. I coached for more than 20 years before I got here.”

Since taking over the Southlake Carroll swimming and diving program in 2005, Murphy, who was an Oklahoma state high school swimming champion in the 100 breast in 1974 and went on to swim three years at Oklahoma State, has built one of the state’s most feared powerhouses. And it didn’t take long. Since 2006, both the boys and girls swimming and diving teams are undefeated in district competition.

The Dragons have also produced more than 150 All-Americans under Murphy’s watch and have sent numerous swimmers and divers to the next level. Participation numbers have increased not only at the high school level but in grassroots programs as well — Murphy is heavily involved in the community with youth teams such as the Timarron Tiger Sharks.

“When I came to Southlake Carroll, I had dreams and ambitions of turning it into a winning program,” Murphy says. “I knew we had good swimmers at the top. I wanted to build the middle and the bottom every year. That pushes the top to see the light or feel the heat.”

By creating a competitive environment, Murphy quickly got the best out of his athletes. This year was no different as the program experienced yet another successful year.

Despite a swath of youth, Southlake Carroll got off to a hot start. In the Mansfield Invitational, the 400 free relay team of John Everett, Austin Whalen, Kyle Derevyanik and Gavin Springs set a meet record with a time of 3:11.88. Whalen also set records in the 200 free and 200 IM with times of 1:42.56 and 1:55.78.

Sophomore Evan Kolde entered his name in the record books with a time of 59.25 in the 100-meter breaststroke.

Meanwhile, the girls knocked off last year’s state champions, Austin Westlake, and helped the Dragons win the North Tisca Championship for the sixth year in a row.

“When one set of kids graduate, we already have another set that has been preparing to take their place and be great,” Murphy says. “This program is like an escalator. If you stay on it, it’s going to take you to the top.”

With Murphy steering the ship in the right direction along with the service of Head Diving Coach Carolyn Hryorchuk, the Dragons continued to improve as the season progressed. Southlake Carroll really turned on the jets at the District 10-6A meet, where the swimmers completed a clean sweep and the divers claimed the top four spots on both the boys and girls sides.

The Dragon swimmers won all six relays in convincing fashion, while also crowning champions in five of eight boys individual events and three of eight girls individual events.

Overall, the Dragons advanced 19 of 23 girls to Regionals and 20 of 24 boys. Of a possible 108 individual slots available to advance to the Region 3-6A Championships, the Dragons took 57, leaving just 51 spots to be divided by the other seven teams in the district.

Southlake Carroll continued its mark to state by racing past second-place teams Highland Park for the boys, 489-265, and Belton for the girls, 453-275, at Region 3-6A Championships en route to sweeping the entire event.


All six relays advanced to the state meet, with the boys claiming the 200m and 400m free relay titles. The girls 400m free relay also took regional first place honors. In all, the boys qualified two divers and five swimmers for the state 6A meet, while the girls sent two divers and two swimmers in addition to the relays.

Nate Hernandez and Maddie Keiser picked up individual honors as they were named Region 3 Divers of the Year. Carson Klein, who was named the Boys Swimmer of the Year, took two first place medals for Southlake Carroll in individual events. He won the 200m free and 500m free events with All-American status and personal best times in each event.

“Hernandez is a really good diver. He just missed state as a freshman but did a really great job this year,” Murphy says. “We had a bunch of divers get hurt last year, and Keiser got her first opportunity to go to state last year. She did a great job again this year. Klein really devoted himself as a disciple athlete this year. He did everything he was supposed to do.”

It was fitting that Hernandez put the finishing touches on a special season at the 6A state meet as Hernandez scored a total of 613.75 points to beat out last year’s state champion, Christopher Law of San Antonio Marshall. The first- lace finish by Hernandez helped pace Southlake Carroll to an overall score of 214, 50 points better than second place Katy Cinco Ranch’s 164 points. The win was the Dragon’s fifthstraight boys state championship and seventh all-time.

Klein won the Dragons’ only other gold medals — one in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:37.36 and the other in the 500 freestyle in a race that was decided by one-tenth of a second.

The girls didn’t win a state title but finished sixth with a score of 98.0. While the girls didn’t capture a trophy, Murphy said he was extremely proud of both groups and the program as a whole.

“This was one of the youngest groups we’ve ever had,” Murphy says. “They were a great group of kids. We feel like we got most everything there was available to get out of them. You just have to do your best to help them excel and plant those seeds.”

What’s scary is Southlake Carroll could be even better next season. The boys bring back Hernandez as well as talented sophomore-to-be swimmer Jack Levant, while the girls will see the return of Keiser.

And with Murphy, who was named the region’s Coach of the Year, leading the way, the sky is the limit for this program.

When Murphy steps into the aquatics center every day, he no longer wishes he could be a part of it. He is now the face of the center thanks to years of hard work, determination and confidence — qualities always present in his teams.

“As I said, this was one of the youngest groups we’ve ever had,” Murphy says. “I think the other teams are going to have to do something magical to beat us next year.”

T 1Training hard on the field and in the gym will only get you so far. To thrive in today’s highly competitive sporting world you have got to be prepared, not just physically, but mentally. To be your best, you must also train your brain to be mentally tough.

But what is mental toughness? According to Southlake’s newest Peak Performance Coach, Brian Cain, there isn’t a universal answer to this question. However, during his 10 years of working with top high school, college and professional athletes he has trained some of the best, most-consistent and mentally tough competitors around. Those special athletes, succeed on and off the field each and every day by living what he calls, “the fi e Ps of peak performance and mental toughness.”

Cain took time away from his training and his well-attended seminars on mental conditioning to share a simple framework for athletes of all ages and ability levels to develop their mental toughness.

Brian Cain is a high-performance sport psychologist and peak-performance coach who works with parents, coaches and athletes on building mental toughness and maximizing the elite human performance mindset. Cain’s client list includes SEC schools and prestigious universities throughout the country, Team USA Baseball, the Washington Nationals and individual athletes in the MLB, NFL, NHL and UFC. Cain lives in Southlake and works one-on-one with high-school athletes in the DFW area. For more information visit BrianCain.com.

With Brian Cain

YOGAYoga is a physical and mental conditioning practice that is very underutilized by high school and collegiate athletes. Most of the professional athletes I work with will do yoga once a week throughout their competitive season and up to three to four times a week in their non-competitive season. The benefits of yoga are many and include increases in strength, fl xibility, balance, mental awareness and self-control.

As a resident of Southlake, I know how busy people here can be. I personally train in yoga with a local teacher named Erin. To work with my busy schedule, Erin takes me through a yoga practice on a monthly basis. We record it and I then simply follow the video on my phone. It is like having my own personal yoga instructor on call whenever I am ready for my next session.

You can download Brian’s three free meditation audios at BrianCain.com after signing up for The Dozen Ways To DOMINATE The Day.

MEDITATIONMeditation, another time-tested form of mental

conditioning, is now widely used by professional teams

like the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, but it is still viewed as too

farfetched for many younger athletes to try. Monks, robes

and mountainside retreats aside, meditation is a game-

changing mental practice, which I benefit ed from during

my own days as a student athlete.

I was a senior and baseball pitcher looking for a few more

credit hours at The University of Vermont when the council

of my academic advisor led me to a class on meditation.

In teaching me to slow down and focus on the present, it

became the single most life-changing class I took in four

years of college.

LEADERSHIP SKILL TRAININGAsk any coach and he or she will tell you, in order to

win big, a team must have great leadership. Then ask

how he or she trains their athletes to be leaders and

you will often get a blank stare.

As an authority on leadership and mental

conditioning who has worked with more than 50

championship programs, I have outlined what makes

great leaders tick. In my book, The Leadership Clock: Your Time to Lead Is NOW!, I walk readers through the

necessary steps of building leadership characteristics

such as Core Values, Character, Self-Discipline and

Positive Energy. Reviewing this book or others

like it with a parent, teammate or coach can help athletes

in their growth into a leadership role on their

respective team.

Regardless of your sport, or the season in which you

play it, these mental conditioning practices can help

you prepare for the season ahead. These activities

can also be done year round and are part of winning

routines for many championship-caliber athletes.

COAL VINE’S

In its 27th year of business, i Fratelli knows pizza. The restaurant is still owned and operated by its founders, the Cole brothers — George, David, Mike and Darrell — who opened their first location in Irving. Known for its thin-crust creations famously cut into rectangular slices, the restaurant offers many signature pizzas, including the staff’s special (grilled chicken, artichoke hearts and Roma tomatoes) and the carne classico (pepperoni, Italian sausage, meatballs, Canadian bacon and hamburger). All of i Fratelli’s dough — their own recipe — is handcrafted every day, and salad dressings are also made in-house.

“They use real mushrooms, not canned, and have pepperoncini peppers,” says Tracy P., a reader who cast her vote for i Fratelli. However, the restaurant’s standout feature is definitely its fast, friendly and free delivery service. Take it from us when we say we had a very pleasant experience, from the timely delivery to the drivers’ hospitable demeanors and, of course, the hot pizza we immediately devoured upon arrival.

COAL VINE’S

In its 27th year of business, i Fratelli knows pizza. The restaurant is still owned and operated by its founders, the Cole brothers — George, David, Mike and Darrell — who opened their first location in Irving.
