Yao Goes To School May 19, 2011

I woke up bright and early Thursday morning to get Rockets center Yao Ming arriving at Hunters Creek Elementary School. First grader Jackson Lloyd’s father had bid on the appearance at the Rockets Tux and Tennies charity auction. Yao spent the first part of the morning in Jackson’s classroom answering questions from the first graders. [...]

And he has a rap video to prove it.

Boys State Tournament April 5, 2010

Just a few days after returning from spring training, I made a short trip to Austin for the boys state tournament held at UT’s Erwin Center.  Yates, Fort Bend Bush, New Waverly and Stafford were the teams competing for the state championship in their respective classes. Joseph Young and the Yates Lions won their second [...]

Jazz Fan April 4, 2009

There’s not a lot of love for the Utah Jazz here in Houston. The two teams split their season series both winning two games at home. On a positive note, I think the Rockets fans dance better.

March Sadness: Hilltoppers Lose March 22, 2009

As a graduate of Western Kentucky University (’84),  I’ve got to give props to the Hilltopper basketball team. They lost a heartbreaker last night to Gonzaga in the closing seconds of their second round game in the NCAA tournament. WKU finished the season with a 25-9 record. Now I’m rooting for the Louisville Cardinals to [...]

Red Rowdies March 1, 2009

The Red Rowdies have become a fixture at Rockets home games since being introduced a few years ago to bring some much needed excitement to Toyota Center. The group of red clad fans sit behind the goal nearest the Rockets bench in the upper section of the lower deck. A handful of them make their [...]

Battle Of The Best February 28, 2009

Last night I shot a much anticipated matchup between Brittney Griner of Nimitz high school and Kelsey Bone from Dulles in the Region 5A semi-finals at the Campbell Center. Over 6,000 fans showed up to watch the battle. Both girls are considered two of the top players in the country. Nimitz jumped out to a [...]

Brittney Griner February 21, 2009

I shot the Nimitz vs Stratford girls playoff game last night. Nimitz rolled to a big win and their star center, Brittney Griner, did what she does best: score. She finished with 33 points. That’s 3 more points than the entire Stratford team scored. The video above shows Griner dunking in the first half. I’ve [...]
