Atascocita, Cypress Park, Deer Park and Stratford had big Class 6A wins last weekend to move up or into the Class 6A Top 20 ranking powered by Kelly Malatesta of First United Bank.

The Eagles knocked off undefeated and Top 10 team CE King in a lopsided match-up, while Cypress Park took down Bridgeland. Deer Park bounced Dobie out of the Top 20, while Stratford went to 7-0 with a big neighborhood win over Memorial.


It's Week 8 in high school football in Houston and the playoff picture is getting clearer by the week.

UNBOTHERED: Lake Creek’s State MVP Sara Wiggins embodies ice-cold resolve

It’s frequently said that heavy hangs the head that wears the crown. Yet Sara Wiggins appears largely impervious to the weight that comes with leading a program so consistently lauded as the gold standard.

An elite shutdown specialist on the mound, the right-handed Wiggins has been a decisive catalyst in Lake Creek’s march to yet another state ring — a presence that coach Candyce Carter describes as bringing an “unbothered” X-factor to the equation.

BETWEEN THE LINES: Tomball Phenom Sampson Owns His Legacy and Acclaim

When it comes to high school baseball in Texas, few players can command attention both on the mound and in the field like CJ Sampson. Making a lasting mark on a reputable brand such as Tomball is no small feat—but for the recent Texas A&M signee, it has become almost second nature.

Best known for his work from the rubber, Sampson went 12-2 with a microscopic 0.93 ERA last spring while also posting a disciplined .330 batting average—a rare combination that earned him first-team all-district and THSBCA All-State First-Team honors. Over the summer, he further showcased his elite pedigree by helping the USA U-18 National Team capture the WBSC World Cup in Okinawa, Japan, solidifying his status as one of the nation’s top prospects.

From Seventh to the Summit: Cy-Creek’s Stunning Rise Sets the Stage for a Playoff Push

Ashley Turrentine
13 Feb, 2026

One year can change everything in high school basketball, and no team embodies that truth more than Cypress Creek.

After finishing last season with just three district wins and a seventh-place standing, Cy-Creek flipped the script in dramatic fashion this year. The Cougars went a perfect 14–0 in district play, capturing the district championship and reestablishing themselves as one of the area’s most dangerous teams heading into the postseason.
