Friday, September 5 – 7:00 PM // Crowley ISD Multi-Purpose Stadium -- Fort Worth, TX
Two of Texas high school football’s heavyweight programs collide this Friday night, as nationally ranked North Crowley welcomes perennial contender DeSoto for a marquee Week 2 matchup.
...
NORTH CROWLEY
North Crowley enters the game riding high after a historic 2024 campaign.
Since head coach Ray Gates took over in 2022, the Panthers have steadily risen to national prominence — culminating in last season’s dominant run to the UIL 6A Division I state title. Currently ranked No. 20 in the country and third in Texas by MaxPreps, the Panthers are showing no signs of slowing down.
Despite graduating a talented core — including Chris Jimerson (North Texas), Quentin Gibson (Colorado), Cornelius Warren III (Arizona), and Ja’Brelle Asberry (Incarnate Word) — North Crowley opened the 2025 season with a gritty 22-18 win over Lancaster.
The victory wasn’t as flashy as last year’s 50-21 dismantling of Westlake in the title game, but it was a strong early test passed by a reloaded roster.
Junior QB Hayes Cloutier, a promising three-star prospect, looks poised to lead the offense. He’s quickly developing chemistry with sophomore wideout Damarion Mays — a four-star recruit with offers from blue-blood programs like Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas.
In the trenches, senior offensive lineman John Turntine III (Texas-commit) anchors a unit that should give Cloutier -- as well as tailbacks G'yrell Smith (Jr. RB) and Cam Russell (Sr. RB) -- the time and space they need to operate.
On the defensive side, Gates' squad remains stacked.
Junior safety Elijajuan “Fat” Houston is coming off a breakout season that earned him District 3-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year. He's joined the secondary by senior Aaron Bradshaw.
Up front, 6A-D1 State Defensive MVP Derrick “Big D” Gleason III headlines a punishing defensive line that also features senior standouts DeMorey Beasley and Jurwone Irvin.
Add in linebackers like Avery Dotson and Colorado State-bound cornerback Thomas Cook Jr., and it’s easy to see why the Panthers remain elite on both sides of the ball.
…
DESOTO
DeSoto, meanwhile, is looking to rebound after a tough opening loss to Creekside (GA).
Under the leadership of head coach Claude Mathis, the Eagles captured back-to-back 6A-Division II State titles in 2022 and 2023 before falling to Longview in last year’s Region 1 Final.
Despite the early stumble, DeSoto remains a dangerous threat — and Friday’s clash offers a prime opportunity to reassert themselves.
Senior wideout Ethan “Boobie” Feaster will be central to that effort. The USC-commit and returning unanimous all-district selection is a dynamic playmaker capable of changing a game in an instant.
Up front, DeSoto boasts one of the state’s most coveted defensive linemen in junior K’Adrian “Big Juicy” Redmond, who holds offers from Notre Dame, Texas, USC, and more. Junior edge rusher DJ Rumph adds to the pressure, with programs like Michigan, Georgia, and Pittsburgh already showing heavy interest.
…
Both teams have something to prove: North Crowley is looking to defend its crown against a familiar powerhouse, while DeSoto is aiming to bounce back and regain momentum. Expect intensity, physicality, and no shortage of big-time talent on display when these two collide.

Magnolia West Sr. Setter Shannon Dworaczyk (Houston-commit)
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Reaching 1,000 career digs is no small feat, and Magnolia West’s Shannon Dworaczyk just etched her name into program history with that new precedent.
The senior setter, who is committed to the University of Houston, has been the heartbeat of the Mustangs, balancing grit, leadership, and high-level skill every time she steps on the court.
What sets Dworaczyk apart is not just her consistency in the stat column but her presence as the team’s undisputed leader. Teammates look to her for energy in big moments and composure when matches get tight. Her ability to elevate the play of those around her makes her one of the most valuable players in the Houston area.
As a setter, she is the engine that drives the Magnolia West offense, creating opportunities for hitters and keeping opponents guessing with her court vision. Defensively, the 1,000 digs highlight her relentless pursuit of the ball and her refusal to let rallies die easily.
For Dworaczyk, volleyball is about more than numbers—it’s about culture. She’s helped shape Magnolia West’s identity as a tough, unified squad that plays with pride and purpose. That competitive fire will serve her well as she transitions to the University of Houston, where Cougar fans will soon see her passion and playmaking on display.
Milestones like 1,000 digs don’t happen overnight—they’re the product of years of dedication and love for the game. Shannon Dworaczyk embodies both, making her a true LOVB Spotlight athlete.
