KYRON DRONES

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.”

Elite 11 Finalist. Elite 11 quarterback. 6 and then in the final rankings he made it among the Elite 11. "Elite 11 was always a dream of mine," Drones said. During the Elite 11, Drones enjoyed learning from the coaches and getting to know the other quarterbacks.

It was the "Rail Shot Competition" to close out the first day of Elite 11 Finals. In the end, it was the St. Thomas quarterback who nailed the final throw to win the challenge, get the Golden Gun Jersey and propel his name up the Elite 11 rankings. But it felt pretty good," Kopp told VYPE on Monday night. He was awesome tonight. The quarterbacks are set to hit the field again tonight at 6 p.m. for Day 2 of the Elite 11, with the camp wrapping up on Wednesday.

Every year, the Elite 11 is the premiere quarterback competition in the country. After looking at quarterbacks around the country, the Top 20 signal-callers are invited to a three-day event which determines who the Elite 11 quarterback is. The State of Texas is sending seven quarterbacks to the competition in Nashville, with three coming from Houston. Shadow Creek's Kyron Drones, St. Thomas' Maddox Kopp and North Shore's Dematrius Davis were selected for the annual competition. Recently, Drones and Kopp joined VYPE Managing Editor Joshua Koch for an in-depth interview to talk Elite 11, representing Texas on a national level and how they are continuing to get ready for the 2020 season.

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.
