SHADOW CREEK FOOTBALL

The football stars of Houston were socially-distanced and masked-up as we hosted the 2020 VYPE Houston Football Photo Shoot powered by Whataburger. Over 300 of the city's top players attended shoots at Spring Branch's Tully Stadium, Sheldon ISD's Panther Stadium and Spring ISD's Planet Ford Stadium. A special thanks to Athletic Directors Paige Hershey, Willie Amendola and Derek Fitzhenry for making this photo shoot a reality for the athletes. Check out the behind the scenes video below!

VYPE headed south last week to check out what all the buzz was about at The Rig. It's widely apparent that these talented guys know each other well, playing at a South Texas Elite 7-on-7 practice. Former Dobie RB Darius Hale transferred to Pearland last year but was held out due to transfer rules last season. He has offers from Houston, Baylor and Central Arkansas and a decision should be coming soon. Pearland's Dylan Dixson is gaining momentum with offers from Florida State, Tennessee, Arizona State, Houston and Iowa State of late.

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.

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.
