Koch: Thanks for the Memories

Joshua Koch
Oct 07, 2022

HOUSTON - Standing in the back of the endzone of AT&T Stadium in December of 2018, North Shore's Dematrius Davis hurled a Hail Mary pass into the endzone. Ajani Carter went up and came down with the football with Shadrach Banks draped over his shoulders.

North Shore had just won the Class 6A Division I State Championship on a Hail Mary.

Then, there was Matthew Boling's amazing run to the UIL State Track & Field Meet in May of 2019. Boling smashed records in the long jump, 100-meter dash and ran one of the most historic final legs of the 4x400-meter relay.

Last June, there was Lake Creek softball. To go undefeated in softball is an amazing feat. Ava Brown was untouchable. Lake Creek was unstoppable. Their lineup mimicked that of the Houston Astros. Just strong top to bottom. Watching them complete the undefeated season was unforgettable.

Watching the track dynasty that has been created at Fort Bend Marshall by Lloyd Banks and company. The Buffs boys and girls teams are rolling. So is Summer Creek as back-to-back state champs.

These are the memories that I will cherish and walk away with as my time at VYPE comes to a close after 5 1/2 years. What a pleasure it has been to cover High School sports in the city of Houston.

C.E. King sophomore Dillon Mitchell claims a gold medal in a monumental 100m Dash (9.92)

Matthew Ogle (VYPE)

Last week’s fittingly dramatic close to the track season brought teams and fans from across Texas to Austin, each chasing a share of the state titles.

In 6A, Tompkins set the tone early with gold in the boys’ 4x100 relay before adding a runner-up finish in the 4x200. Paired with Blake Hamilton’s wind-aided 200m — an eye-opening mark that set a new all-conditions high school national record — the Katy ISD program surged to its first-ever state championship, finishing with 47 points. Byron Nelson (27) and Shadow Creek (24) followed close behind.
