Dear Friends: Welcome to the Third Annual Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Banquet. Although all our induction banquets are special and unique, this year’s event is especially meaningful.

The year the dream finally comes true.

Our Hall of Fame, once a panel of plaques on a gymnasium concourse, is now a reality. Immediately following this ceremony banquet, you are invited to tour our new Hall of Fame and museum.

Thanks to the generosity of the Pasadena ISD, Phillips Fieldhouse is now completely remodeled.

During the planning of that project, architects found the perfect spot for the Hall of Fame. While touring the museum, be sure and look at the new locker rooms. Note the upgrades to the football stadium. And, of course, take a minute to check out the district’s new natatorium just a few hundred feet from here.

As always, tonight’s banquet promises to be fun, exciting and entertaining. Former Astros legend Larry Dierker has graciously agreed to serve as tonight’s Master of Ceremonies. Many Pasadena ISD students will again be playing a big part in our event. You will also get to meet the recipients of two additional Hall of Fame scholarships, just another way the Hall of Fame initiative is giving back to the community and the fine people who live here.

Once again, thanks to all our table sponsors. Without your support, we could not put on this event. A special thanks to those sponsors who help launch the Hall of Fame project two years ago and have been with us ever since.

While touring the museum, take a look at the beautiful glass wall inscribed with the names of our Founding Donors. These individuals, families and companies were the financial spark that took our Athletics Hall of Fame Museum from a dream to a reality.

We invite all of you to become part of this project and to connect with all the great athletes and coaches who have blessed our community with their fantastic endeavors.

Terry Brotherton Committee Chairman Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame

Dear Friends: What does it take to achieve success in any given endeavor? When asked that question, we should all respond with a similar answer: Knowledge, skill and talent. Those characteristics are marks of excellence. However, none of those traits would be sufficient for success without the drive, the effort, the will… the heart.

We come to tonight’s Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame induction to honor a group of former students and a former administrator whose profound successes in the field of athletics came about because they were among the most skillful and talented -- and because they possessed the heart of a champion. Their accolades at the high school, collegiate and professional levels in their respective sports are well deserved.

The individual and team achievements of our honorees helped create a legacy for Pasadena ISD sports, one that will be permanently preserved in our new Hall of Fame facility, which you will help dedicate tonight. On this occasion we recognize and honor the sacrifice, hard work and commitment it took for each of these inductees to be the best. As such, their induction into our Hall of Fame is a worthy tribute. Their achievements stand as examples to our young people today.

I am grateful for the great minds in our community who helped develop the Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame as a way of recognizing the incredible successes of the men and women of Pasadena ISD who represented our district so well in sports venues across the country and around the world.

Congratulations to our inductees into the Pasadena ISD Athletic Hall of Fame. Thanks to each of you for your legacy as a role model to our students today and in the years to come.

Dr. Kirk Lewis Superintendent of Schools Pasadena Independent School District

Dear Guests: The Pasadena ISD Athletics Department would like to welcome you to the Third Annual Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet. We are excited about you joining us again this year for this outstanding event, organized to honor those athletes and coaches who have made significant contributions to our school district over the years.

As you probably observed driving into the parking lot, the athletics facilities have undergone a facelift. We are proud of the new design, construction and renovation of our facilities in the past year. Through the support of our community and with funds provided in the last bond election, we have moved forward to elevate our facilities to 21st Century standards.

We encourage you before you leave tonight to take an opportunity to walk through the field house, Hall of Fame, stadium and our new aquatic facility.

Thank you again for attending tonight’s banquet and congratulations to our 2014 honorees.

We hope that you have a great time and we look forward to seeing you in the stands at our athletic events.

Tonight’s Guest Emcee

LARRY DIERKER Larry Dierker may well rank as the most enduring and endearing personality in Houston Astros history. Arriving on the local sports scene in 1964 as a teenage pitcher from California, Dierker helped bring competitive legitimacy to Houston’s fledgling National League franchise on the mound. Later, in the dugout, he utilized his baseball savvy to post one the most successful managerial runs the Astros have ever experienced.

Now an Astros special assistant and goodwill ambassador for the club, Dierker has been a part of the Astros organization -- almost without interruption -- since he signed with the then-Houston Colt .45s as a 17-year-old California pitching sensation in 1964.

Shortly after his 14-year big-league career ended in 1977, he joined the Astros’ broadcast team as a color commentator. He was promoted to manager in 1997 and held that position for five seasons, later returning to the broadcast booth.

Dierker famously made his big-league pitching debut with the Colt 45s on his 18th birthday in 1964, striking out Willie Mays in the first inning. In 1969, the right-hander became Houston’s first 20-game winner while leading the team to its first-ever non-losing season. He was named to the National League All-Star team in 1969 and again in 1971.

In 1976, his final season as an Astros pitcher, Dierker pitched a no-hitter against the Montreal Expos. He retired after one season with the Cardinals in 1977, leaving with a record of 139-123, 106 complete games, 25 shutouts, 1,493 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.31.

No pitcher in Astros history has ever thrown more complete games or shutouts.

As manager from 1997-2001, Dierker led the Astros to four National League Central Division titles in five seasons. He was named National League Manager of the Year in 1998 following a season in which the Astros won 102 games, the most in team history. He became only the sixth skipper in baseball history to win a division title in his first season as a manager.

An avid baseball researcher, Dierker is also a former sports columnist and has written two books about his experiences in baseball.

His jersey No. 49 was retired by the Astros in 2002.

The Inductees

WELDON ‘STONEY’ PHILLIPS Pasadena ISD Athletics Administrator

12 | pasadena isd hall of fame

When “Stoney” Phillips gave up the football coaching reins at Pasadena High in 1957, what he left behind would soon make local sports history. But what lay ahead would represent perhaps the great accomplishment in the history of Pasadena ISD athletics.

The players he developed at Pasadena High would form the nucleus for the Eagles’ run to the state championship game in 1958, his first year as the Pasadena ISD’s first director of athletics. But it was in that job that Phillips accepted a mission bigger and bolder than pursuing a state title.

Over the next 10 years, he would help launch sports programs at three new district high schools: South Houston, Sam Rayburn and Dobie. Moreover, he would spearhead a revamping of district facilities, the fruits of which are in full view today. His crowning achievement: the sprawling Veterans Memorial Stadium complex, which opened in 1966 and was soon adorned with adjacent baseball and track stadiums, all of which remain in use today. A decade later, a new central gym was opened next to Memorial Stadium.

Fittingly, it was named after Weldon “Stoney” Phillips.

Phillips graduated in 1933 from Pasadena High, where he competed in football, basketball and track.

He went on to play basketball and co-captain the football team at Southwest Texas State. He then began a long coaching sojourn that ended in 1951 when he arrived in Pasadena and became the Eagles’ head coach.

Over six seasons at the Eagles’ helm, he compiled a 37-29-3 mark. But just as his program reached maturation, he stepped down. It was in 1957 that the Pasadena ISD’s second high school, South Houston, opened its doors. The district needed someone to oversee what was blossoming into a multi-campus sports program. Phillips was just the man for the job.

Numerous honors and board appointment flowed his way, both during his administrative career and after his retirement. He served on the board of directors for the Texas High School Coaches Association and as president of the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association. He was inducted into the halls of honor of both groups. He is enshrined in the Athletics Hall of Fame at Southwest Texas. Phillips died in 1999.

The Inductees

GENE McCARLEY Pasadena High School / Class of 1955

It’s doubtful that many of the Pasadena or Dobie high school players coached by Gene McCarley from 1966 to 1976 fully understood his stature as one of the Pasadena ISD’s all-time masters of the hardwood.

Known as “Bean” during his playing days, McCarley brought home the bacon for the Eagles basketball team during the 1954 and 1955 seasons – then did the same for Baylor Bears, an unsung team that nearly soared to the top of the Southwest Conference heap during McCarley’s senior year. Along the way, the lean 6-5 center provided local sports fans with one of the most memorable performances in the history of Pasadena ISD athletics.

McCarley made the Eagles varsity as a junior and averaged 14 points a game for a .500 club. But in 1955, his senior season, he exploded into the consciousness of Gulf Coast hoops fans. He tied a school record with a 37-point effort against Galveston High and finished the year with a 20-point average, best in the Houston area, just enough fuel for Pasadena to claim a District 8-4A co-title with Beaumont High.

Beaumont won the opener of a best-of-three series to decide the title. It was in the second game, a 70-43 road rout for the Eagles, that McCarley established himself as a local sports hero. He connected on 19 of 26 shots from the floor, scored a school-record 41 points and held Beaumont’s star to only four points.

Although Beaumont won the deciding game, McCarley earned second-team all-state honors and a scholarship to Baylor.

He garnered three letters with the Bears, earning a reputation as a medium-range sharpshooter and a neutralizer on defense. As Baylor’s captain in 1959, he led the Bears to a road upset of defending conference champion SMU, part of a five-game winning streak that briefly landed Baylor in title contention. Along the way, his teammate, Carroll Dawson, the future general manager of the Houston Rockets, called him the best defensive player in the SWC – “bar none.”

After college, McCarley returned to Pasadena to teach basketball. He coached the Eagles from 1966-68 before moving to Dobie as that school’s first basketball coach. McCarley retired in 1995 and died in 2003.

The Inductees

LANNY WHITE Pasadena High School / Class of 1968

For Pasadena ISD sport fans in the late 1960s, the sight of halfback Lanny White in possession of a football offered a clear dividing line between anticipation and anxiety. Built like a tank with afterburners, White was a big play waiting to happen. And unfortunately for Pasadena High opponents, the wait was never very long.

The exception was a late September night in 1967, White’s senior year. Pasadena and Port Neches had battled to a scoreless tie after four quarters at Memorial Stadium. The clock had expired. But there was also a flag on the field. Port Neches was called for roughing the passer, allowing the Eagles to run one more play.

Still, the goal-line seemed a time zone away.

That didn’t matter to White. He bolted down the right sideline, hauled in a pass from quarterback Smitty McKenzie and raced 67 yards to win the game.

The Eagles coach, Hall of Famer Bob Barfield, had made up the play during a timeout on the sideline.

White’s makeup was a blend of grit and speed.

Twice, he was named all-district and at the conclusion of his senior year, he garnered all-state honors.

Any doubts about his qualifications were erased in the Eagles’ district-opening rout of Baytown Sterling.

White ran for 311 yards that night and scored 44 of his team’s 56 points.

He played a key role in one of the great showdowns in Pasadena ISD football history. The Eagles squared off against South Houston for the District 12-4A North Zone title. Before a packed crowd, the teams fought to a 13-13 tie with the Trojans advancing on penetrations. Still, White scored all 13 of the Eagles’ points to win the district scoring title.

White lettered in three sports and was feared almost as much as a pitcher as he was a halfback. He helped carry the Eagles to the state finals in baseball his senior year. In an Eagles playoff victory over Galena Park en route to state, White belted a home run and pitched a five-hit shutout. Nearly a half-century after it happened, local baseball fans still recall a home run hit by White that traveled an estimated 500 feet, a shot still regarded as the longest in the history of the Memorial/Maguire Field diamond.

WES HUBERT

South Houston High School / Class of 1976

Fans are usually out of earshot and don’t notice it.

But coaches and players will tell you one of the most telling sounds in football is the mashing of helmets and pads in the opposing lines. Sideline residents at Pasadena ISD games back in the 1970s will tell you the most distinctive crash of all occurred whenever South Houston’s Wes Hubert exploded out of his stance and waylaid an opponent.

Recalled one coach: “It was like two trains colliding.”

A punishing center, Hubert was the anchor of the most successful team in South Houston history. That done, he went to fill the same role with one of the best teams in the history of the Texas Longhorns. Not long after his college career ended, he was named to the Longhorns’ all-decade team for the 1970s, along with Earl Campbell, who used Hubert’s blocking skills to win the Heisman Trophy.

As a South Houston senior, Hubert helped lead the Trojans to an unbeaten regular-season record, the only one in school history, and a pair of state playoff games. Along the way, South Houston knocked off

chief rival Sam Rayburn before a standing-room-only Memorial Stadium crowd of 16,500, the largest in history. In addition to the numerous all-star honors he received, Hubert was named to the prestigious BlueChip List of prized recruits compiled by the Dallas Times-Herald. He chose to sign with the Texas Longhorns.

Hubert started three seasons at Texas, quickly building a national reputation for neutralizing nose guards, reading defenses and calling out adjustments. As a sophomore in 1977, he contributed to one of UT’s most memorable seasons. Under first-year coach Fred Akers, Texas rolled through the regular season with a perfect record. Campbell won the Heisman Trophy and only a loss to Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl prevented Hubert and his teammates from claiming national championship rings.

Although the Longhorns’ fortunes dipped slightly in 1978 and 1979, Hubert closed out his college career with back-to-back Sun Bowl appearances and a firstteam All-Southwest Conference designation for his final season.

The Inductees

JOHN HOLMES

South Houston High School / Class of 1986 Through much of 1980s, in the eyes of track aficionados across the country, the name of John Holmes was inseparable from any indepth discussion of distance running.

In cross country, he was a top-six finisher at the state meet his junior and senior years. He led his team to district and regional champions as well as third-place and fifth-place finishes at the state meet.

Still, it was on the track oval that Holmes really hit his stride. He pocketed eight district and regional champions in the 3,200, 1,600 and 800 meter runs over those two years. At the state meet, he won four medals, including a gold for taking the championship in the 800-meter dash in 1986.

Rarely during his high-school career did Holmes lose a race. For two years, he was untouchable at the district and regional level in the 3,200, where he just missed a sub-nineminute personal best, and in the 1,600, where his career-best 4:06.19 created a national stir.

He once clocked a 1,500 meter time that was calculated to equate to a sub-four minute mile.

His state-meet medals included two silvers (in the 3,200 and the 1,600) and a bronze in the 1,600 his junior year. His gold medal in the 800 his senior year came with a 1:51.5 clocking, just behind his personal best of 1:50.58 in the event.

He earned all-state in cross country and, following his senior season, was selected to the National High School All-American team.

Twice he was named the most valuable track athlete at the Pasadena ISD’s own Brown Relays.

A University of Arkansas recruit, he participated in two prestigious national meets after graduation, the Chicago Keebler Invitational and the Golden West Invitational. He took home silver medals for the mile in both meets.

The Inductees

ALICIA MILLS

J. Frank Dobie High School / Class of 1989 Alicia Mills has never had to seek out stature. When a young woman grows to be 6-foot-3, it comes naturally and, in some ways, forebodingly. But on the volleyball court, the basketball court, around a high-jump pit or any sandy stretch of beach, Mills has never failed to shift feelings of unease into the minds of her opponents.

Her sports achievements during her days at Dobie stretch out like a trophy smorgasbord. She led the Lady Longhorns’ volleyball teams to district titles her junior and senior seasons. In 1988, she won the Texas high jump title with a leap of 5-8, becoming only the second Pasadena ISD female to win a state championship. All told, she earned nine varsity letters: four in track, three in volleyball and two in basketball. All-state in volleyball as a senior, Mills was selected to play in Texas NorthSouth All-Star Game.

Mills’s success in volleyball easily transferred to the sport’s hotbed in California and to the sand courts at nearby beaches. In 1989, her first season at Long Beach State, she helped her team win an NCAA championship, the school’s first. She played on two other Final Four teams, including Long Beach State’s 1991 runnersquad. She earned second-team all-conference honors as a junior and first-team honors following a senior year capped by her selection as a third-team All-American.

She also finished on the top 10 list for career kills and blocks at Long Beach State and set a school record with 10 aces in a row during one match.

Mills later made the U.S. national team that won a silver medal at the 1994 Goodwill Games and another silver at the 1995 Pan American Games.

She launched her pro volleyball career in Europe, playing for teams in Greece, Italy and Slovenia, just part of a pro career that took her to 19 countries. Nearly 20 years after college -- and well beyond the day she became Alicia Mills Polzin -- she was garnering awards on the professional beach circuit.

From 2005 through 2007, she ranked in the top 10 in blocks and aces – and each year finished in the top 30 on the beach volleyball money list. As recently as 2007, she teamed with Paula Roca to win the gold medal at the Boca Chica tournament in Santo Domingo, a stop on the prestigious Norceca Caribbean circuit.
