ARMANI THEUS HAS LEARNED THE GAME OF BASKETBALL FROM SOME OF THE BEST.
The Thurgood Marshall High School point guard has been coached by arguably the top basketball mind in Texas — Ronnie Courtney. Courtney boasts more than 800 career wins, three state titles, National Coach of the Year honors, and a pipeline of Division I talent that has come through his program.
Theus has also spent his career studying from up close, playing behind two of the best point guards in FBISD history — Jayland Lowe (Kentucky) and Ian Lowe (Lamar).
“It’s been a blessing wearing the Marshall jersey,” Theus said. “The school is a great environment, the program has a great culture... this is just home.”
Now, the 2025–26 Buffalo squad was his.
“When we got home after falling short at state last year, I realized it was time for me to run the show,” he said. “I was ready. I’ve learned so much about the game and about life from Coach and the Lowes.
“They taught me that everything isn’t cakes and rainbows. Nothing is handed to you. It’s what they did behind closed doors that made the difference — their work ethic, what they were doing when no one was watching. That really stuck with me.”
Theus guided Marshall through another undefeated district slate, leaning on those lessons. But the road wasn’t without adversity.
“When I need to get away from the noise, I just get quiet and pray,” he said. “I’m a big believer in God. I’ll say a quick prayer when I’m down. It helps me refocus. I know He has something greater in store for me than whatever I’m worried about in that moment.”
Despite his production, Theus has felt overlooked — fewer accolades, fewer offers, less recognition than some peers.
“I don’t play with a chip on my shoulder,” he said. “It doesn’t get to me. I know recognition will find me at some point. It just motivates me to keep getting better. Even losing state last year — I don’t see it as a failure. I see it as something to learn from.”
In today’s game, Theus is the type of floor general any college coach would want running the show — coachable, adaptable, and battle-tested.
“I’m able to adjust,” he said. “Coach Courtney tells me, ‘In a world full of scorers, find something that sets you apart.’ That’s why I take so much pride in defense — being a dog, playing with high intensity. I’m the motor guy. I can guard one-on-one and set the tone.”
Whether his journey continues strictly as a player or eventually shifts to the sideline, one thing is certain: Armani Theus has been built by the best — and he’s wired to become one himself.

Entering 2025, C.E. King Panthers football was flying under the radar after a 5-5 season and missing the playoffs.
Enter Corey Laxen.
His presence precedes him. He’s got the chops. He sounds like a coach, looks like a coach and commands the room like one.
In Laxen’s first season, the Panthers got their swagger back—and then some—going 13-3 and advancing all the way to the Class 6A Division II State Finals.
Though they fell to DeSoto Eagles football inside AT&T Stadium, one thing is clear:
C.E. King is here to stay.
They’re young. They’re fast. They’re physical and they’re hungry.
So the question becomes—are the Panthers Houston’s next powerhouse?
Laxen has seen the blueprint up close, spending years on staff at perennial state power North Shore Mustangs football.
Now, the pieces are in place.
Texas high school football… consider yourself on notice.
