North Shore and Atascocita are looking like serious State contenders but will pick each other off in district play and the playoffs.

Welcome to the start of the 2021-2022 school year and another season of H-Town High School Sports with Todd Freed!

HOUSTON – This past Friday, the Shadow Creek High School football team beat Strake Jesuit. “We were just making sure, if you go out, make sure you wear a mask, and limit the time if you are outside," said senior Jairo Castillo. Senior quarterback and Baylor commit Kyron Drones made sure the guys were staying in shape during those two weeks. “We’re just making sure they know football is the bigger picture right now,” Drones said. “I know people want to hang out and do stuff, but we can’t have that right now until the season is over with.”

We won't get De La Salle versus North Shore. It was always known that in 2021, North Shore and Shadow Creek would play against each other at Freedom Field. The last two years we got East Side (North Shore) vs West Side (Katy) - which was split. In this meeting, Shadow Creek would try and extend its winning streak to 17-straight and, oh yeah, 32 wins out of the last 33 games played. North Shore would look to improve to the same record 32-1 in its last 33 games played.
