WALTER SCOTT ASKS...
Q: I was glad to see
Sienna Miller in American
Sniper. What’s next for
this talented actress?
—Sophie L., Darien, Conn. TERRYCREWS
Crews, 46, who started his career in the NFL,
now hosts TV’s syndicated Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire and appears in the Sunday
night Fox comedy series Brooklyn NineNine. He’s also the author of the book
Manhood ($18, Zinc Ink).
A: In addition to her
buzz-generating roles in
both American Sniper and
Foxcatcher, Miller, 33,
has several more
movies in the
pipeline for
later this year,
including
Mississippi
Grind, Unfinished
Business, High
Rise and Black
Mass, the true story
of Boston mob boss
Whitey Bulger. “I don’t
care about the size of the
roles,” says the native
New Yorker. “I just want
to be in great ﬁlms.”
What’s the most surprising thing
you’ve discovered hosting
Millionaire? “How much I like
people. There’s energy that
comes from the audience and
the uncertainty of what’s going
to happen, and I love that.”
What made you write
Manhood? “People kept
coming up to me and my
wife saying how great I was.
I thought, ‘I’ve got to burst this
bubble.’ I wanted to show how
I am just like anyone else who
had a tremendous amount of
great breaks.”
Any similarities between you and Sgt. Terry
Jeffords, your character on Brooklyn NineNine?“He’s very emotional, and can fall in
a heap on the ground and cry, or get very
angry and pick up a car. He’s faithful to the
people around him, his family, his friends
and his co-workers.”

Q
What has
Katherine Jenkins
been up to since
appearing on
Dancing with the
Stars in 2012?
—Courtney Morose,
Hollywood, Fla.
A: The Welsh classical
music crossover artist and
DWTS runner-up, 34, has
been busy. “This year I got
engaged and married [to
sculptor-painter Andrew
Levitas], became a ﬁrsttime aunt, made my 10th
album and got an OBE
[Ofﬁcer of the Order of the
British Empire] from the
Queen. It’s been my best,
most happy year ever. I
wanted the music on my
new album, Home Sweet
Home, to reﬂect the joy in
my heart, so it is very
uplifting, inspirational
and authentic.”

MIKEMATHENY
TO SPORTS
PARENTS: SHHHHHH!
In The Matheny Manifesto ($24,
Crown Archetype), former MLB
Gold Glove catcher and current
St. Louis Cardinals manager
Mike Matheny, 44, expands on
the foundation he developed as
a Little League baseball coach:
making organized sports all
about the kids.
You say, “the biggest
problem in youth sports is
the parents.” “Yes. When you
ask kids who play sports at
different levels, ‘What do you
want your parents to do?’
The overwhelming majority
say, ‘Nothing.’ Parents
need to be a silent source of
encouragement.”
So, no yelling or cheering at
practices or during games?
“Even yelling positive things
like, ‘You can do it!’ adds
pressure. Especially with the
youngest kids. They don’t need
that. They know you’re there
and that’s enough.”
What do you want parents to
take away from this book?
“Only 1 percent of kids will
make it to the next level
[college, pro sports]. Let’s
focus on the 99 percent. With
kids and sports, building
character is the goal.”

eart disease is the No.1 killer
in America, so it pays to know
if you’re at risk. But figuring
that out is a bit like reading
a Ouija board, especially if you’re a
woman. The predictive value of current screening tools in women is
poor, says Leslie Cho, M.D., section
head of preventive
cardiology and
rehabilitation at
Cleveland Clinic.
The good news: A
simple new blood
test may help.
The test, called
the PLAC Test for
Lp-PLA2 Activity, measures an enzyme that’s a
marker for inflammation in the arteries. That inflammation encourages the formation of plaque and
plays a key role in heart attacks
and strokes.
If your PLAC numbers are high,
they could tip the scales in favor of
treatment. “Maybe you’d be started
on cholesterol medication sooner
rather than later,” says Nieca
Goldberg, M.D., clinical associate
professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at NYU School
of Medicine. Some of these medications tamp down inflammation,
even in people whose cholesterol
levels are normal.
To Test or Not to Test?
The test was first approved for people with existing heart disease, but
the Food and Drug Administration
recently green-lighted it, based on
new data, for adults with no history
of the disease. It’s most effective in
women, especially African-American women.
If you have high cholesterol or
already know you’re at increased
risk for heart disease, you probably
don’t need the test, says Goldberg,
though it could provide a call to
action. “Sometimes people need
more evidence.”
Like many of
the newer heart
screening tools,
the PLAC Test
may be most
useful in people
whose risk level
isn’t already obvious, experts
say. And it likely won’t be used
alone.
“It’s an additional test that we
can use to screen for heart disease
risk,” says Goldberg. Getting your
blood pressure and cholesterol
checked and being screened for
other risk factors, such as diabetes, are still important.
“I see the greatest use of PLAC
testing in recommending stroke
prevention efforts,” says Stanley
Hazen, M.D., Ph.D., section head
of preventive cardiology and rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic.
“Clearly high blood pressure is
a major risk factor for stroke, but
measuring BP alone is not sufficient to capture those at increased
risk.”
If the Ouija board spells a stroke
or heart attack, getting on that
treadmill or throwing salmon in the
pan instead of a burger might suddenly seem worthwhile after all.

2015 PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
GREAT
EXPECTATIONS
Averaging 5 touchdowns per game his senior year, Texas powerhouse quarterback
KYLER MURRAY leads our list of America’s best high school players. He and his fellow
Parade All-Americans represent the highest level of excellence in high school athletics, on
the road to becoming gridiron legends themselves.
T
By Lars Anderson • Cover and opening photography by Steve Williams
he education of the quarterback began when he
was 8 years old.
On summer afternoons in Allen, Texas, Kyler
Murray and his father would run drills at a local
football ﬁeld. Two of Murray’s grade-school
friends would set up as receivers and four as defensive
backs. Eyeing the line-up from a shotgun formation,
young Murray would call the signals and yell, “Go!”
Dad Kevin Murray, a standout quarterback at Texas
A&M in the 1980s, would position himself behind his
son and tell him where to pass the ball—whether to
throw a slant route, a dig, a post or an out. Over and
over, under a tar-bubbling Texas sun, Murray taught his
son the basics of “the route tree” and how to dissect a
defense based on how it lined up.
“By age 12, Kyler was reading defenses at a fairly
high level,” said his father. “Today there are very few
things a defense can do that will surprise him.”

Indeed, the young quarterback soon
came to dominate under the Friday night
lights of big-time Texas high school football. His stats at Allen High speak to perfection: He went 42-0 as a starter and led
his team to three straight state championships. In 14 games last season, Murray—
now 5’10”, 180 pounds—threw for 3,971
yards and 45 touchdowns, and ran for
another 1,409 yards and 24 touchdowns.
For this rare and relentless offensive
power, we selected Murray as our 2015
Player of the Year. The 17-year-old Texas
star joins a legacy of Parade All-American
quarterbacks—Joe Montana, John Elway,
Dan Marino and Peyton Manning among
them—who not only distinguished themselves in high school, but went on to become
legends in college, the NFL and the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. By all measures of
the game, Kyler Murray is poised to do the
same.
Even with the promise of a bright career
ahead of him, Murray remains humble and
grateful. “The success I’ve had all goes back
to my dad,” Murray says. “He gave me a
head start by teaching me the game at
such a young age.”
That head start built confidence along
with All-American skills. The crowning
hour of Murray’s high school career came
several weeks ago in the Texas Class 6A
Division I state title game against Cypress
Ranch, played before 52,308 fans at
AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Murray
made it look as though he was back on
the sunbaked field of his childhood, picking apart the defense, passing for 316
yards and scoring five touchdowns in
Allen’s 47-16 victory.
“Kyler is very, very special. Over the years
I’ve had hundreds of oh-my-did-he-justdo-that? moments with him,” says Tom
Westerberg, the head coach at Allen. “At
least once a game, he’d throw a pass that left
you just shaking your head and smiling. He’s
got so much physical ability and the mental
capacity to put it all together on the field.
That comes from his dad and being around
the game his entire life.”
That father-son football legacy goes back
to 1982, when Kevin Murray was named
don’t rush me:
Last season
Murray threw for
3,971 yards and
45 touchdowns,
and ran for another
1,409 yards and
24 touchdowns.

HOW WE PICKED THE TEAM: In selecting the All-America Team, Parade contributor Brian McLaughlin, who also blogs about college football recruiting for Sporting News,
considered all-state teams, state player of the year honors and statistics, as well as his own observations in person. On offense, he looked for players who had outstanding senior
seasons while also exhibiting high-end college-level potential. When it came to defensive players, McLaughlin looked for elite playmakers—top athletes who could change games.

the Dallas-Fort Worth area high
school player of the year. Later, as
a sophomore at Texas A&M, he
threw for 1,965 yards (then a
school record) and guided the
Aggies to a Cotton Bowl victory.
In the state of Texas, the elder
Murray became a legend. But he
views the second act of his life—
grooming his son and other
aspiring football players—to be
his most important calling.
Not surprisingly, colleges from
coast to coast have been wooing
his son since he was 14. Clemson
offered him a scholarship when
he was a sophomore. Last July,
Murray gave a verbal commitment to Texas A&M, his father’s
alma mater. Kevin Murray soon
received dozens of text messages
with variations of the same joke:
How does it feel to be the secondbest quarterback in the family?
“I always respond that the plan
all along was for Kyler to be better than me, and he will be,” says
Kevin Murray. “He’s ready for
whatever comes. No moment is
too big for him.”
Even before he committed to
A&M, Kyler Murray had become particularly intrigued with
the incredible runs and throws of
another alum, Johnny Manziel,
one of 14 former Parade AllAmericans who went on to win a
Heisman Trophy. Murray and
Manziel have become friends.
“He’s like an older brother,”
Murray says. “It’s great to have
him on my side. The advice he
gives me is invaluable.”
As Murray’s accomplishments
piled up, one thing never
changed: playing catch with his
dad. Even in the dark of night,
the two often retreat to their

“Kyler is a high-character
young man with parents who
have kept him grounded and focused,” Westerberg says. “The
attention never got to him, and I
think that bodes well for his
future.”
“My dad instilled in me
the belief that, no matter
what the circumstances, I
can always pull out the win.
I have a lot of confidence
in myself.”

In the final minutes of Murray’s last high school game, his
third state championship, the
coach sent in a backup quarterback. As Murray jogged off the
field, the crowd of more than
50,000 rose to its feet and sent
a roar-like thunder into the Texas
sky. It was a fitting goodbye to
the nation’s top high school
player.
“It’s been a heck of ride,”
Westerberg yelled above the din
into Murray’s ear on the sideline
as the two embraced. “Soak it all
in. You’ll have more of this in
your future.”
“Thanks, coach,” Murray replied. “I can’t wait.”

When i have a cold, my
voice seems lower to me.
is this actually the case?
—J.H., Colleyville, Texas
yes. Our voices come from
the vibrations of our vocal
cords, and the pitch is
determined by their length
and thickness. Shorter
and thinner vocal cords
vibrate faster and produce
higher pitches that sound
more female. as the vocal
cords get longer and
thicker (which happens
to boys during puberty),
they produce lower pitches
that sound more male.
When you have a cold
that inflames this area,
the vocal cords thicken a
bit and make your voice
temporarily lower.

children. What is the
probability that at least
one of them is a boy?
