It's State Semifinal week and VYPE's Matt Malatesta hit up coaches across the State to talk with them about their big games coming up this weekend!
Coach Warren and the Texans are looking to reach Jerry's world again after making it to the title game last year but falling just short! Check out the Interview below!
Tomball sophomore Daniel Trousdale finishes second individually at the 6A Boys State Tournament
In Class 6A, Westlake reaffirmed its dynasty status, capturing its 15th state championship with a steady +2 (578) performance to edge out The Woodlands. The Chaparrals’ depth proved decisive, placing three golfers inside the top three, including individual medalist Henry Talarico, who fired a 2-under par. Tomball’s Daniel Trousdale followed closely behind at 1-under, while a tightly packed leaderboard underscored the competitiveness of the field.
Meanwhile, Class 5A showcased a razor-thin margin at the top, as Walnut Grove secured back-to-back state titles with a 1-under 575—just one stroke ahead of Highland Park. Powered by a dominant individual showing from Austin Randall (7-under par), the Wildcats held off a deep Scots contingent that placed multiple golfers among the top finishers.
From established powerhouses to emerging contenders, this year’s tournament highlighted both the staying power of elite programs and the growing depth of talent across Texas high school golf.

The Leander Rouse Raiders football got their man.
Mark Hopkins, former offensive coordinator at Katy Tompkins Falcons football, has been named the new athletic director and head football coach at Rouse.
Hopkins played under legendary David Aymond at North Shore Mustangs football and later coached alongside Jon Kay, now the defensive coordinator at Rice Owls football.
During his time at Tompkins, Hopkins played a key role in developing quarterback Jalen Milroe, now an NFL Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks.
Hopkins’ journey through the game has come full circle—and now, it’s his time. This marks his first head coaching opportunity.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Coach Hopkins as he begins building the next chapter of Rouse Raiders football.
