One of the finest young legal minds in the state of Texas is making a bid for a seat on the Texas 5th Court of Appeals. The court hears appeals of civil and criminal matters. Tonya J. Holt, a graduate of the Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall Law School, is seeking to become a Democratic member of the court which is dominated by Republicans.

“Justice matters,” said Holt, a former attorney in the Texas Attorney General’s office in Austin. “I am a civil rights attorney and I believe that people deserve a judiciary that serves without regard to race and economic status.”

As an attorney in private practice, corporate practice and government service, Holt has represented plaintiffs and defendants. “My clients have included large national corporations, small businesses, labor unions

and individuals,” said Holt, who also worked as a labor attorney for the U.S. Postal Service.

The court that Holt is seeking sits in Dallas but covers six counties, including Collin County, Dallas County, Grayson county, Hunt County, Kaufman County and Rockwell County.

“Tonya Holt is a diligent and fair-minded attorney who will be an excellent justice on the court,” said Dallas Attorney Larry Taylor. “She is one of the finest legal minds in the state of Texas. It is imperative that people support her bid for office.”

While an Assistant Attorney General Holt stood up for the rights of the elderly and protected the interest of law enforcement officials. “I am supporting her effort to become a jurist because I believe that she brings a sense of fairness and effectiveness to the legal arena,” Taylor said. “Texas needs someone like her to take a seat on the 5th Court of Appeals.”

Much has been said and written about the performance of President Barack Obama during the most recent debate with Mitt Romney. Some say that the President was not aggressive and that Mitt Romney was the winner of the debate.

People must understand that debate performances do not determine who should be the leader of the free world. The fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney was a bully during the last debate. He was rude and he lied.

The American public does not need a president who changes his position each time that he is asked a question. The American public needs

a President who can lead them, who they can trust and who they can believe in. The fact of the matter is that the American people should not believe in Mitt Rom-ney because Mitt Rom-ney does not believe in them.

All of the country saw the tapes in which Romney wrote off nearly 50 percent of the American people. He is not for the average person in this country. He is for the wealthy, the well-heeled and those who spend more time at cocktail parties than they do in the work place.

Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, are playing a game that is over their heads. They understand how to build garages with elevators in them, but they have no idea how to help someone who

is seeking a job, or seeking a loan for a college education for their son or daughter or seeking an insurance policy that will give them quality

healthcare and not send them to the poor house.

This election is crucial. People cannot afford to sit at home and think that the president has it in the bag. He does not. There are people who are against him, who hate him and they are going to do everything in their power to defeat him.

It is something that we cannot allow to happen. We must do all that we can to elect President Obama to a second term. He has served us well and we must reward him for that service. Vote for our country, vote for President Obama.

Recently, a close colleague spoke at a funeral in Chicago. During his remarks he mentioned that he was from Dallas.

After the cere-mony a woman approached him and said that her son, Frank, had been a

drug abuser as a student at Prairie View A&M University.

She told my colleague that a friend of his, called “Ice Water” came to her son’s assistance and encouraged him to become drug free.

“He pushed my son and got him to understand that he was moving down a path towards destruction,” she said. “After months of working with him, ‘Ice Water’ was successful and Frank became drug free.”

I am very proud of this story because the young man called “Ice Water” was in fact, one of my sons, Jordan Blair, who succumbed to a fatal disease earlier this year. Perhaps Frank would not have made it, said his mother, if Jordan has not stepped into his life.

Frank is now working a full-time job in Chicago. He is a productive citizen and is building a life for himself. He came to Jordan’s funeral and praised him for the role that he played in his recovery.

Life is sometimes very mysterious. We have no idea what is going to happen from one day to the next. There are times when we see someone on the street and the next day we see their picture in the obituary column.

The pace of our lives is such that we have no time to lose. We must follow the example of Jordan, and others like him, and reach out to others and aid them when we can and if we can.

As people, we are all inter-related. We are all our brother’s keepers as is often said.

Yes, I am very proud of my son and God knows I wish that he was here with me and his family.

But he is not. Yet, his memory and his work shall live forever.

Like Frank and his mother said, my son, Jordan Blair, was a wonderful human being!

Commitment

By Geraldine Davidson-Hooker

Commitment is most certainly a message that our society needs to hear today that was evident from a letter that a young man was writing to his girlfriend. The young man poured out his heart’s devotion on paper as he wrote to the girl of his dreams: “Darling: I would climb the highest mountain, swim the widest stream, cross the burning desert, and die at the stake for you. P.S. I will see you on Saturday it doesn’t rain.” As funny as that is it describes the idea that a lot of people have about commitment. We live in society where people promise to stay married until death and leave at the first sign of trouble, Promise to serve God faithfully but jump ship at the first big wave, commit themselves

to church membership but quickly leave the first time someone disagrees with their opinion. I want you to know today that this message is not for the world or the people who aren't here, this is a message that every one of us need to hear today and apply to our hearts and life. Apply it to our marriages, relationship with our Lord and to church. Naomi, Ruth and Orpah are left alone in Moab. Naomi hears news that there is food again in the land of Israel. It is not a religious decision to go back to Israel, at this point it is a survival decision. There is food again in Israel so it’s time to go back home. Naomi tells her daughter-in laws to both go back home, because she is too old to get remarried and have more sons. Naomi is starting to get a little bitter about her situation in life. She said, “For it is exceeding bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me.” One daughter-in law, Orpah

kissed her and turned back, but not Ruth. Ruth Clung to her and that's when we see Ruth’s commitment to her mother in law Naomi. She says where you go I will go, where you lodge I will lodge your people shall be my people and your God my God where you die I will die and there will I be buried. These are words of love. Love is best defined as commitment. And in Ruth's comments to Naomi we see the two most important parts of Christian love or commitment. That's the type of commit-ment we need for Christ if we want to see change in our families, our church and our nation, because it says by our actions that we believe Christ is the answer. Not the gods of this world, not money, not fame, not possessions, not politics, but God alone. It is a commitment that says I cling to Christ through thick and thin through the good times and bad times because I trust that there is no other God besides Him.

ASK DR. HOLLIE

by Dr. Karen Hollie

Dear Dr. Hollie,I have this acquaintance, I’m not even comfortable calling her my friend at this point. We don’t talk very often. However, I really care about her and her well-being, so I try to keep in touch by calling or texting her now and then. Her

husband and my husband have the same kind of relationship. Well, the last time I spoke with her, we had a nice little chat; but when her husband relayed some of our conversation to my husband, I didn’t like it, mostly because she was putting words in my mouth. I was very upset and had made up my mind not to speak to her again. Then my husband told me that her husband was planning on leaving her because they weren’t getting along, and he wants out before they have any children. Is it cruel for me to ditch her as well? And am I obligated to tell her that her husband is talking about leaving her?

Don’t Want To Be Cruel

Dear Don’t, Since you have already rekindled this relationship, obviously, you want to stay involved with her. But by no means are you obligated to share with her what her husband shared with your husband. After all, you don’t really know what her husband’s intentions are. If it does end up being true, now is when she needs a friend, or acquaintance, as you call yourself, to talk to.

Dr. Hollie is a Pastor and practicing psychotherapist in the city. For questions and comments, please write to [email protected].

WORDS OF WISDOM

“ He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted. ”

PRAYERCLOSET

By Rev. Clarence Henderson

How important are you? Maybe you

are all of that and a bag of Fritos! We all have that invisible sign that we carry and it say’s “I want to

be important”! Well, you are the crowning glory of God’s creative work. Strangely

enough, the distinctive characteristic which sets man apart from all the rest is that “He prays”! And to pray effectively man must

understand God in prayer. He must see God as our source and not resource. Man has an

open invitation to come to God in Jesus name at any time. His shop is never closed, never under construction, never suffer because

of disasters. Neither, is there such a crowd, where there is no room for you. Though

millions may come, but because you are so important, there will always

be room for you.

Fort Worth Connection

By Gloria Reed AustinCo-Founder & Executive DirectorNational Multicultural Western Heritage Museum [email protected]

On Saturday, October 6, 2013, Boy Scout Troop 558 from Mount Olive Baptist Church Arlington, chaperoned by Scoutmaster Ron Wilson attended the first of four camp outs that the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum (NMWHM) and the Lakeside Riders Buffalo Soldiers will host as a part of the museum’s Camp Buffalo Soldier Youth Program. The camping adventures take place at the museum’s outdoor learning center and community garden location (3534 E. Berry Street) in Fort Worth. Activities included pitching tents and sleeping under the stars; reviewing camping safety skills, fishing certification, arts and crafts; storytelling around the camp fire, and mentoring sessions, just to name a few of the wholesome activities the youth enjoyed. Lakeside Riders founder Rosieleetta “Lee” Reed (who is also the First Vice President of the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association) facilitated the camping experience. The project entitled “Camp Buffalo Soldier Youth Program” will provide a safe and positive environment for a weekend of learning and fun! Scoutmaster Wilson stated Troop 558 thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from learning about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and bringing those history lessons to life at the camp out, and encourages other Scout Troops to attend. Mr. Wilson also encourages adults to consider volunteering as leaders in Scouting as there are many youth who would like to join a group, but until additional Troop Leaders can be added they will have to remain on a waiting list. We know that one person can make a positive impact in the life of a youth, so please join the volunteer effort to establish more Scouting Troops in your community today!! For additional information you may email Ron Wilson directly at [email protected]. Future dates for the Camp Buffalo

Youth Camp are January 20-21, 2013; April 5-7, 2013; and July 26-28, 2013. To register to attend the camp, please contact the museum’s business office at (817) 922-9999 or email [email protected].

Lew BlackburnDallas ISD Trustee

District 5 Life gets busy with work, family and other commitments. We feel pulled first in one

direction, then another. As parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, however, we know that the first priority is always the children. For caring parents and extended families, making sure that each child is prepared to meet the many challenges the future holds begins at the local school, where they are joined by dedicated and effective teachers, principals, other Dallas ISD staff and community volunteers who want the best for every child. To stress the importance of education, many Dallas ISD parents volunteer at their children’s schools, attend PTA meetings, organize fundraisers, and carry out countless other tasks that are welcome and appreciated by the district and the schools. Not all parents can give of their time at that level, but

ensuring their children understand how important education is to their future is the most important of all contributions. For this reason, the Dallas ISD is asking parents to ensure their children’s success in school by focusing on three things: • Make sure your children get to school on time, every day.• Make sure your children do their homework.• Make sure your children read at home every night. These are the components of what the district calls the “ART of Success.” Setting a routine so that, even when the parent is not at home, the children know when it’s time for homework and reading leads to success. Designating a small table or quiet corner for studies also shows children how important learning is. Another way parents can help their children be successful is by keeping in touch with the teacher. The Dallas ISD has several ways in which parents can do this, including the Parent Portal, which gives parents daily access to their child’s grades, assignments, and

attendance record. Attending parent conferences, held at least twice a year, is another way parents can help their children succeed. The conferences give parents an opportunity to meet one-on-one with their child’s teacher to discuss progress and ways in which learning can be reinforced at home. This fall’s parent conferences will be held Oct. 15 for high schools, Oct. 16 for middle schools, and Oct. 18 for elementary schools. Now, you also can keep up with your children’s schools and receive instant news from your phone by downloading the just released Dallas ISD SchoolConnect app for Android and Apple devices at www.dallasisd.org/mobileapp. The app offers access to the Parent Portal, lunch menus, calendars, school bus routes, and much more.

In District 5 news: Our students need to experience learning as fun and rewarding. That’s the purpose of the District 5 Academic Pep Rallies for students, parents and teachers. The first rally is set for 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, October

20, at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, 525 Bonnie View Road. Students with As (90s) in math, English/language arts, science and history/social studies will be eligible to win gift cards. There also will be prizes for students with perfect attendance, and for parents and teachers. Students are asked to bring a book they have read recently. Those who give a summary of the book will be eligible for prizes. The rally will include entertainment by bands, cheerleading squads, and dancers from the District 5 schools. I want students and parents to realize that in order to be successful at school, students must be in class to take advantage of every learning opportunity so I will continue to award $100 gift cards to randomly selected Dallas ISD students who achieve perfect attendance. Four lucky students will be selected to receive the incentives at the end of every six-weeks grading period.

Businesses or citizens who desire to make donations to encourage our students are asked to call my office at 972-925-3720, or reach me by email at [email protected].

Dogan Middle School students earn Pink Fire Helmet Trophy

Dogan Middle School sixth grade math

teacher Olivia Valle, left smiles as she gets the “Pink Fire Helmet Award” from Dogan Instructor Specialist Michelle Grandy, right after the school won the “Show Pink” competition at Turn Tyler Pink at the T.B. Butler Fountain Plaza Tuesday afternoon. In the center is breast cancer survivor Tyler Mayor, Barbara Bass.

Dogan Middle School students earned the coveted pink fire helmet trophy after more than 90 percent of them participated in Turn Tyler Pink on Tuesday.

Turn Tyler Pink is an event put on by Tyler Firefighters CARE to raise awareness about women's cancer and support those who are fighting cancer, according to a TISD news release.

“Turn Tyler Pink promotes unity amongst our students and staff in support of a greater cause,” Dogan Principal Masud Shamsid-deen said, according to the news release. “Cancer has had an impact on so many of our lives, and in this small way we say that we will fight this battle together."

In all, more than 3,000 TISD students wore pink in support of people who are fighting cancer.

Dogan received the trophy at the Turn Tyler Pink event on the square in downtown Tyler.

The Stewart Middle School cheerleaders and Robert E. Lee High School fiddlers also performed during the event.

ETBU files federal suit

over health care mandate

ETBU files federal suit over health care mandate Joe Holloway [email protected] The Marshall News Messenger

East Texas Baptist University filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on Tuesday in an effort to avoid compliance with an HHS mandate requiring the university to provide emergency contraceptives in its employee

insurance plan.ETBU President Samuel “Dub” Oliver

said the lawsuit was the latest in a series of actions by the university contesting the constitutionality of the HHS’ “preventative services” mandate that was announced last year.

“We’ve been working on this issue since August of 2011 and doing different things, writing letters, communicating through the public comment process as these things have been going on,” said Oliver, who testified before the house committee on oversight and government reform on the matter in February. “We’ve continued to try to address these matters but, ultimately, nothing has changed so, in order to defend ourselves and protect our religious liberty, one of the steps that we’ve now taken is to file this lawsuit.”

The mandate went into effect on Aug. 1 but allows a one year transition period for certain institutions, and ETBU has even longer.

“Technically you don’t have to change your plan as long as you’re in a planned year, and our planned year ends on January 1, so it wouldn’t impact us until January 1, 2014,” said Oliver. “So we still have a little bit of time and we’re hopefully that at some point, in some way, this will change.”

However, Oliver indicated that, whatever the result of the lawsuit, ETBU has no plans to comply with the mandate.

“People have used as an example Acts Chapter 5, verse 29 as a guide for this where the scripture says there comes a point

where you should obey God’s law rather than man’s,” he said. “That’s the matter of conscience that this is for us. That’s at the heart of this. The government is saying you must provide these abortion-causing drugs for your employees.

“We believe that life begins at conception and so we’re not going to do that.”

Non-compliance would mean ETBU dropping its insurance for employees and possibly facing fines exceeding $10 million per year as a result.

“The fine begins the first year and then escalates beyond that,” said Oliver. “The first year of the fine, if you drop insurance, it’s a little over $2,000 per employee. Then it escalates beyond that.”

He added that the university was still evaluating what that would mean for the average ETBU employee.

“We’ll have to see about that,” said Oliver.

Scenes from the State Fair Classic Football game, featuring Grambling State University

and Prairie View A&M University and the Radio One golf tournament


This week’s Just a Bite was difficult for me. I had plans for a new area in Fort Worth that had to be postponed. Then I had plans to cover the fair but nothing seemed to work… Sunday I decided to go to church for spiritual grounding. At first I was a little disappointed that my pastor, Rev William Dwight McKissic, had guest speakers. Was surprised to hear the there was a 4 day Kingdom Conference

and excited that Bishop Kenneth Ulmer from Faithful Central of Inglewood, CA was coming to speak. I knew this would be a treat if I could just get Just a Bite done. Well, Tuesday for some strange reason I announced to my husband that I was going back to church to catch Bishop Kenneth Ulmer preach. Now that I said it I felt compelled to go. There was an eclectic group speaking; Dr. R.T. Kendall originally from London, Dr. Charles Carrin from Boynton Beach, FL and then Bishop Kenneth Ulmer of Faithful Central of Inglewood, Ca. Ahhh the promise of a great meal. These three became a 3 course meal. Dr Kendell, Course

1 taught us the difference in seeing the Pigeon from the Dove; the Pigeon being the counterfeit and the Dove the actual Holy Spirit. They both seem to be the same but only one the Dove reigns down true blessing on us. Dr. Charles Carrin, Course 2, shared the power of prayer from those with a submissive heart for God and to believe in the word of God and God will hear our prayers. Course 3 Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and “A Kingdom Prophesy Isaiah 6:1-3, 43:18-19 and Deuteronomy 11:10-11. He reminded us that God never makes a mistake. We should remember not to cling to what has already been done or we will miss

what God has for us tomorrow. What God has coming our way is better than what we have already been given. Bishop used the analogy that when we drive our car there are two different pieces of glass in front of us, the windshield and the rearview mirror. The large glass is a preview of what is to come and the small rearview mirror shows what we have had. If we look through both and see the same thing then we are on the wrong road. We need to go back and reevaluate if we are looking at the Pigeon or the Dove…. Hmmm…… If the single ladies have prayed for God to bless them with Mr. Right and find the same old same old then he reminded us

that we again are trusting in the Pigeon not the Dove. Finally, God is ready to do a new kind of thing in all of us and for all of us. That God is ready to Reign (not Rain) down His true blessings on us if we know him, pray to Him with a submissive heart and watch for his “NEW” blessings for all of us. Now this Just a Bite left me filled and full yet hungry for more. Maybe one more day and I will get my much needed desert without the unwanted calories.

ROLLIN WITH A BROTHA

By Kevan BrowningWelcome to the weekend, baby! Okay, call me a wimp, but after last weekends State fair Classic festivities, I’ve decided to do nothing whatsoever this weekend...I’d planned to be at a Texas Rangers playoff game, but they got “cowboyed” out of 1st place then right out of the sudden death wild card playoff game... Sooooo, I’m saving energy for next Friday’s “One Night Stand” tour with Brian McKnight, Joe and Tank...My wife has already signed off on this, as she has REALLY good seats,lol! So what’s up with “Clueless” actress Stacy Dash. She came out on Piers Morgan’s CNN talk show in full support of Mitt Romney for President. I agree that it’s her right to support the candidate of her choice. It’s also our right to never watch anything she does or appears in again...Now, a’int that America! When the headline read “Pilar Sanders Gas and Electricity Cut Off”, I was like, SAY WHAT??? Turns out the 10,000 plus a month in alimony and child support has been held up in court as Deion and Pilar work thru the courts. P.S. both you Sanders stay off Twitter and keep something private!!!! You are probabaly familiar with the drama between Mariah Carey

and Nikki Minaj on American Idol. Minaj reportedly cussed Mariah out, but in a jello/mud wrestling event, I’m going with Mariah...if it should ever go down...Pop Diva Stevie Nicks has apologized for saying she wanted to choke the ^%^%^31 out of Nikki... Nicks must be in her 50’s, I give that potential match to Nikki...Lol, if it should ever happen! Reports that

Lil wayne and Stevie J were lip l o c k i n g were all over the net this week...Stevie J, who “stars” on “Love

and Basketball” says, “it wasn’t me”...Hmmmm? Remember long time DFW Radio star “Gary With The Tea”? Well he’s relocated to Atlanta as part of the Rickey Smiley Morning show and you can catch him as part of this TMZ like DJ showcase at 11:30pm on

Fox 4! Finally rest in peace Alex Karras...Karras was a rugged NFL star with The Detroit Lions back in the 1960’s, but most know him better as Emmanuel Lewis dad in the day to YOU and Celebs this week: Bishop Desmond Tutu 81, Dick Gregory 80, Reverend Jesse

Jackson 71, Ben Vereen and Demond Wilson 66,Darryl Hall 64, Robert “Kool” Bell 62, and Marion Jones 37, R&B singers Mya and Ashanti 32! Thanks for Rollin With A Brotha in The Elite News!

Before they came to promoting concerts, and before they decided to place a premium on providing world class Entertainment via Blues Show to North Texas Metroplex, they spent their days Joyfully as productive and progressive private sector businesswomen in the Dallas-Fort Worth business community.

It takes only a cursory ear to understand the Joy, Excitement and reason why Big Al Wash the Entertainment visionary grasped in producing these latter day promoters.

Al Wash of Al Wash Entertainment, ALWE group who was recently featured as the long standing super promoter of last weekends Grambling and Prairie View State Fair Classic weekend spectacular. Next week he will be standing proudly in the backgraound as he oversee’s the Ladies responsible for producing the first annual Fort

Worth Blues Festival. The Fort Worth Blues

Festival will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center Ballroom at 1300 Commerce. It will feature legendary performers, Bobby Blue Bland, Mel Waiters, Benny Latimore and RL Griffin.

Promoters, Doc Holliday, Alyce Adair and Sherri Doll have joined forces with ALWE to return a strong Blues show to the Metroplex.

It is noted that these three sucessful business women have choreographed a strong line up for this maiden show. That their eye for opportunity and timing as well as their business sense will produce a sucessful adventure.

Doc Holliday is a prominent business women in Fort Worth. She is a sucessful dentist in the Fort Worth area, hence the name Doc Holliday. Doc Holliday is also chairman of

the Fort Worth Entertainment Committee for the Mainstreet Arts Festival.

Doc Holliday’s sister, Alyce Adair Jones is the owner of the Adair Eyeware. Her shop

provides high-end eyeware to the community.

The third partner of this trio is Sherri Doll. Sherri Doll is a professional Massage Therapist and Hairstylist to the entertianment community. It is through these women’s friendship with Al Wash

that they are joining forces to promote and produce this event.

What a way to return Fort Worth to it’s entertainment base, as the year has developed

Fort Worth is taking back its position as the Entertainment Capital of North texas with events like the battle of the Bands where Texas Southern University and Grambling State University recently participating in the Fort Worth Battle of the Bands staged earlier this year, and such other entities as the ever busy Jim and Gloria Austin of the Renissiance Cultural Museum, but

through this strong line up of blues preformers.

These men Bobby Blue Bland, Mel Waiters, Benny Lattimore and Dallas native R. L. Griffith together have over a century plus experience in performing the Blues. They alone can sing as only a true

blues singer can. Through song and strong stage presence they tell the struggles and history of the Southern Black community.

In a way only they can share the joy and pain that we know through music.

Al Wash was quoted in saying “that blues is known as the secular base of black music. It is the cornerstone that has rooted R&B and Hip Hop . It is the music that transcends race, culture and age.

Everyone may want to claim this music as their own but on Saturday, October 20th at 8pm it will belong to the community and people of Fort Worth. It will be one more step in returning Black Entertainment to Fort Worth.”

SPORTS WITH BILL BLAIR

Toliver’s Talents

By Mark A. Toliver IIElite News Staffwriter

There is no question that the quarterback is the most glamorous position on the football team. An offense must have a proficient player at the quarterback position. Lack of ability at the other offensive positions may be covered up, or compensated for, but if a team attempts to play with a quarterback who lacks the physical skills and mental abilities for the position, the weakness quickly will become evident to everyone. Many coaches, at all levels of football believe that the quarterback position requires a player with exceptional athletic skill. This is especially true if the quarterback is asked to direct a team in which he is asked to run the ball. Height and weight may vary considerably from one quarterback to another, but all successful quarterbacks have an inner strength in themselves. Each time they lead their offense out onto the field, the great quarterbacks truly believe they will move the ball and guide their team to victory. Along with determination, mental toughness, and physical skills, a quarterback must be a leader. Dallas -Fort Worth meet Mesquite’s quarterback Alex Cooper and Skyline ‘quarterback Devante Kincade. These two young gun-slingers are really proving they can play. This past weekend in a match up between the top teams in District 12-5A, Mesquite played host to Longview. Mesquite quarterback Alex Cooper showed why he is

considered one of the top signal callers in the state. Cooper continues to be super accurate, Cooper has completed 105-of-138 with only 1 interception on the season. Cooper finished the night 16-of-25 for 214 yards. Mesquite used five fumble recoveries to build a 23 point lead. Mesquite is 5-0 and looks to be a force going into the second have of the season. On the other side of town the Skyline Raiders were getting back on track with a big time win over Jesuit 56-24. Skyline capitalized on early mistake by Jesuit and scored 21 points a 1:16 spur late in the first half to break a 14-14 tie and pull away for good. Skyline QB Devante Kincade was 9-12-197 and 3 touchdown. Kincade showed his leadership ability by leading his team to victory after a surprise upset by Arlington Bowie. Both teams have great quarterbacks. And both quarterbacks have great teams. It all comes down to which quarterback can lead their team all the way. Football is a very strange sport, the season begins in the heat of the summer and the season ends in the cold of winter, it’s just a matter of which quarterback can get his team to follow them!!! Good luck Quarterbacks- May God Bless You and Help Us Change the World!!!!! Mark A Toliver II
