September 11, 2001 I was sitting at my station in the top floor of what was then a Williams Energy Bldg. in the Energy Corridor in Memorial designing a plot plan for a proposed, massive cogeneration plant that was going to interconnect the Texas energy grid to New Mexico, Arizona, and west. There were no TV's. Security came up & informed our engineering office that everyone had to evacuate to the ground floor immediately. We didn't find out why until we were all at our assembly points downstairs. I remember people thinking Houston's Energy Corridor was going to be hit as a strategic target because of all the engineering firms dealing with the oil and gas industry. La Porte ISD released, and my wife called and said she had left work to go pick our son up from school, and that the ship channel plants were all on high alert. I've heard that 1/3 of the people living in in the U.S. now weren't even born yet. Where were you?

So far, Deer Park has given up 24 points this year to Pearland Dawson, La Porte, and Kingwood. La Porte scored 17 of them. DP has scored 35, 41, and 45 so far in this game.

!score 45-7 Q4 29 yard FG I’m out.

DP BU’s driving. !score 42-7 Q4

Good Grief! DP pooched the KO, nobody on KWD went for it & DP recovered. BU’s in for DP. Ball on KWD 37.

!score 42-7 Q3 I’m bailing. The battle between Dickinson and Deer Park this year should be fun. It looks like it might be the ‘Battle to Avoid NS game.’

Yates to the 4. KWD had 12 and still couldn’t stop DP.

DP marching right back down the field. Ball on KWD 16.

KWD finally gets on the board with a nice TD pass as DP is playing a little soft now. !score 35-7 Q3

They’re always a PO team. But, they’re 6AD1 and always have to face NS first round. If they were to play someone else first, they could probably make it further. They look better than usual this year so far.

Yates punches it in from the 4. !score 35-0 Q3

Yates hammering to the 10. Finally a KWD TFL of 4.

DP pass to the 5. PF against DP for blindside block. Yates with a run right up the gut back down to the 14.

Another DP sack for a loss of 5 again. Another punt from end zone for KWD. Bad punt. DP ball on KWD 31.

KWD bobbles KO, gets hammered. First play from scrimmage, Deer penetration cause bobbled snap & QB sack for loss of 5.

!score 28-0 Q3

!score 28-0 HALF

KWD INT in the end zone. They needed that bad. 42 seconds left in half.

Flip pass to the 12. About a minute left in the half.

5th drive for the Deer. Already down to KWD 30.

Deer are just laying the wood. People who thought LP was in trouble because of the 41-17 loss to DP at Abshier in the Border Battle may want to relook at the Deer this year. They’re making KWD look like a peewee team.

Kingwood coming unraveled

Another 3 & out for KWD. Bobbled snap on punt. DP hammers him at the KWD 12. One play TD Deer! !score 28-0 Q2

First Deer punt. KWD ball on their own 22.

Another DP stop. Deer ball on their 35 to start their 4th drive.
