ORANGEFIELD BOBCATS
Traveling from near the Louisiana border in Southeast Texas, Orangefield’s path to the State Final has been nothing short of remarkable. Making their program debut in the UIL championship, head coach Bryan Whitmire and the Bobcats arrive riding the momentum of a 26-game winning streak. Most recently, they outlasted CC London in a 60-57 thriller to improve to 35-3 on the year.
Though this feat has unquestionably been accomplished through a team effort, it’s difficult to deny the comprehensive impact seniors Jaden Scales and Carson Willis have had throughout the winter. At guard, Scales is averaging roughly 21 points, four assists, and two rebounds per game, while Willis is contributing 17 points and six rebounds a night from the post. Factor in the consistent production of junior Rylan Agerton, sophomore Kyran Morrow, and junior Elijah Jones, and it makes complete sense that this Orangefield team is on the precipice of etching its name into the history books.

DALLAS MADISON TROJANS
Summary
While this is a new setting for Orangefield, the Alamodome has seemingly become a home away from home for the “Great” James Madison High. Under head coach Gerald Smith, the Trojans are making their 12th appearance in the title game (13th trip to the Final Four), and their first since the team’s championship run in 2022. On the heels of Tuesday’s 78-71 victory over Brownfield, Madison (25-12) now eyes the chance to secure state banner No. 6 — which would add another impressive chapter to one of the most preeminent programs of the 21st century.
Leading the charge for the Dallas ISD landmark is shooting guard Josiah “Juice” Cobb. Still a junior, the 6-foot-1 Cobb is a constant threat to score 20 or more points on any given night, complementing the steady contributions of seniors Eddie Moss, Darius Hooks, and Jamirion Rice.

2027 Randle five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis has cut down his lists of 70+ offers to a Top 15.
Williams-Callis top 15 schools consists of Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Houston, Indiana, LSU, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio State, Oregon, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA and USC.
“It’s getting to that time where I need to settle down. I had 72 offers and wanted to cut it down to 15,” Williams-Callis said. “All the 15 schools have been showing me a ton of love and most of them came to see me in January. They’ve been calling and texting me since they came down to see me and make me feel like family.”
Though Williams-Callis is down to 15 schools, the talented national recruit has a busy next two months taking spring practice visits and scheduling the rest of his official visits.
“I plan on hitting spring practices for all the schools in my top 15. I’m just trying to figure out the dates right now,” he said. “I already have a few official visits set to LSU April 17th-19th, Indiana April 24th-26th, Texas A&M May 28th-30th, Mizzou June 5th-7th, Oregon June 12th-14th and Texas June 19th-21st.”
The Randle star running back is coming off a big junior season on the gridiron this fall but is excited about a busy offseason which will lead to a commitment before his senior year.
“The offseason has been awesome just putting in work and really finding out which schools are real or fake,” Williams-Callis said. “Looking forward to going on my visits, checking out the campuses and seeing how the coaches coach their player.”
As far as the biggest factors in Williams-Callis recruitment, good coaching, development and culture will play a big factor in him making a decision.
“Good coaching, development, a culture with a family type of vibe and just a school that shows they are all in on me,” he said on his biggest factors. “I want to see what place I can go and be there for four years because I’m not a player that wants to decommit once I make my decision.”
VYPE’s number one player in the 2027 class has a busy offseason ahead, stay tuned for more updates on Landen Williams-Callis.
