One of the most legendary high schools in the city of Houston is Jack Yates High — better known as “Third Ward High.”
This year, the school is celebrating its 100th anniversary along with the 40th anniversary of the iconic 1985 State Championship team — a squad many consider one of the greatest in Texas high school football history.
In his first year at the helm, Jason Lewis has the Lions roaring. Yates is 11-0 and headed into the second round of the postseason. The Lions are coming off a dominant 50-24 win over Needville and now square off with Pine Tree High this weekend.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Coach Lewis to talk about the turnaround, the culture shift, and the energy buzzing across campus.

Rounding out the rotation are Courtland Cloud (Jr. G), Kurynn McNeill (Sr. G), and Ijeoma Njeako (Sr. F) — each adding layers of depth and energy to the lineup.
Micheaux’s blueprint for 2026 is simple yet demanding: keep the tempo high, stay disruptive ondefense, and let the Sharks’ identity speak for itself.
