Foster moves to Class 5A No. 1; Hightower trending

Matt Malatesta
Oct 20, 2020

Hightower's Charles Shelling is a beast running the ball

By Bradley Collier

There's a new No. 1 in Class 5A after Manvel fell to Class 6A North Shore over the weekend.

Foster moves up to the top spot, but for how long? The Falcons face No. 6 Hightower, who had a signature win over Class 6A The Woodlands last Friday. Hightower Joseph Sam has the Hurricanes brewing. They are well-coached, athletic and physical. RB Charles Shelling is moving piles and moving the chains, while lefty Jakolby Longino (UTEP-commit) is making great decisions. Converted QB Caleb Douglas is stepping up as a big, rangy WR on the other side of Latrell Neville (Nebraska). Do they have enough to knock off Foster? Yes.


Paetow, FB Marshall, Angleton and Fulshear all remain undefeated. Angleton faces Manvel this week, while No. 10 Fulshear faces No. 8 Lake Creek.

It will be another big week in the Class 5A division.

THE HUNGER WITHIN: Tomball Softball Eyes State in Regional Rematch

13 May, 2026

Few softball teams in Texas are as scorching as Tomball right now. The surge is hardly surprising, especially after last season’s breakthrough run that carried the Cougars four rounds deep into the postseason.

What makes their rise even more notable is how recent it’s been. After years of finishing just outside the playoff picture, the group has transformed into a bona fide contender with Alyssa Thompson now in her third season at the helm.

Whataburger Team of the Week: Katy Surges Toward State After Spectacular Regional Semifinal Victory

Matthew Ogle
11 May, 2026

If there was any lingering doubt that this year’s Katy squad (34-5) is a legitimate title contender, last week’s emphatic series sweep over defending 6A Division II State Champion Kingwood erased it. The Tigers dispatched the reigning champs with a pair of similar victories.

Game 1 remained deadlocked at 1-1 through seven innings Thursday before Katy erupted in extras behind RBI doubles from Nevaeh Phillips (2 RBI), Libby Hroch, and Haley Schmitt (2 RBI). The late offensive surge proved decisive, powering the Tigers to a 6-2 victory in eight innings.
