Last season, Cole Francis, then a junior, spent his Thursdays quarterbacking Tompkins' junior varsity to an eventual district championship. Then he'd spend his Fridays with the varsity, going through pregame, warmups and the whole gameday experience.

But we got to the finish line back in mid-January with the Class 5A and 6A State Championships at AT&T Stadium. The lone state champ from Houston came in the form of the Katy Tigers, winning the Class 6A Division II State Championship over Cedar Hill. The Crosby Cougars were the other team to make it to the state title game for the first time in 60 years. So, who were the best of the best in H-Town in 2020? Jalen showed his leadership this season helping along his younger brother and sophomore QB Caleb Koger as well.

North Shore pounced on undefeated Pearland Dawson on Thursday night, racing out to a 24-0 halftime lead and eventual 38-7 victory for the Mustangs.

Westfield won the meeting 42-24 moving on to face the winner of Skyline and back-to-back state runner-up Duncanville next week.

Patience, young fella. The most difficult part of being a QB can be patience. Waiting for your turn to come while putting in hours and hours of work can be mental warfare. Katy Tompkins' Cole Francis is learning patience much like his favorite player Joe Burrow did at Ohio State and then LSU. VYPE caught up with Francis at a workout with his QB coach Mike Quinn, who starred at Stephen F. Austin before playing professionally for 10 seasons in the NFL and CFL.
