Shadow Creek football talks about 2-week COVID-19 battle
HOUSTON โ This past Friday, the Shadow Creek High School football team beat Strake Jesuit. โWe 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. โWeโre just making sure they know football is the bigger picture right now,โ Drones said. โI know people want to hang out and do stuff, but we canโt have that right now until the season is over with.โ

Kopp, Drones impress in the opening day of Elite 11 Finals
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.

Koch: Battle of the State Champs will be battle for H-Town bragging rights!
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.
