In 1999, North Dorchester went

to the State Championship game

and brought home the

first State Championship

that North Dorchester ever had.

It was a big deal

for our community.

I'll never forget coming

through town that night,

we were escorted in with

the Hurlock police

and Sheriff department,

sirens going,

people out on their

front porches,

waving to us and stuff.

It really did something

for the kids.

It really did.

Carlton had a good

personality.

He was friendly to be around.

He wasn't arrogant at

all about his abilities.

There are some kids that

don't let you in, you know,

but he did and I got

bonded with him.

He spent the night at my house,

you know, eat at my house,

mess around with my kids.

I would be proud if he

married my daughter.

[Marlowe] Carlton was the

closest to Patrick at Baylor.

You know, he started to

become friends with Carlton

pretty quickly.

They kind of clowned around.

They seemed like good buddies.

Patrick lived in

student housing.

Four people could

live to an apartment.

Dottie was his roommate

at the time.

He mentioned Dottie

being a cool guy.

Carlton always talked to me,

when he was around,

about this guy named Patrick.

They was friends

and he talked so well about him.

[Marlowe] They were goofballs

and they seemed to have

a good relationship.

I was with Northeastern

Oklahoma.

Coach came to me and after

the game, he was like,

"Man, great game.

We need you at

Baylor University.

We want you."

Okay, cool.

That's it, that's all

I needed to hear.

[Abar] Harvey was typical

junior college transfer.

I would say that Harvey Thomas

had maybe more potential

than Patrick, but I still would

give the edge to Patrick.

[Thomas] They flew me

down to Waco.

They assigned Dennehy

to be my chaperone.

Pat picked me up

from the airport.

First thing he asked me was

like, "Hey, man, you smoke?"

I say, "Yes, of course," and

right then and there I said,

"Hey, we going to be just fine.

We're going to-- you know,

we're going to get along well."

He told me my apartment would

be ready in three to four days,

but you can just stay with Pat

until your apartment is ready.

I'm cool.

I'm cool with that.

I'm sleeping on the couch

and Dotson had a room,

I think in the back, wherever,

but once I got there,

I ended up calling my cousin,

Larry Johnson.

I called him and told him,

"Hey man, I just got to school.

Get on a Greyhound

and come on down."

[Abar] Larry was kind of

always around.

He's basically

Harvey's sidekick.

He's basically his friend,

he's hanging out,

he's getting to see the life

that Harvey is about to live.

He's just a friend that,
