Dematrius Davis, North Shore

Bradley Collier, VYPE Media

Welcome to the 2020 football season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. There was not a summer camp circuit for player to go showcase their talents at. In-person recruiting came to a screeching halt and the COVID-19 Pandemic has affected everyone.

But VYPE has still done what we have always done when it comes to previewing Texas high school football here in Houston. With that said here are the is the No. 1 North Shore Mustangs.

Shadrach Banks

It is hard to bet against North Shore. The Mustangs return back-to-back State Championship game Offensive MVP in Dematrius Davis. The Auburn-commit, who has played varsity since his freshman season is ready for one last ride. Davis will welcome back big target Shadrach Banks (Texas A&M-commit) after he was injury-plagued in 2019. Another target for Davis will be Charles King at receiver, who earned first-team nods a year ago. Up front, North Shore will be solid again with Jaeden Roberts (Auburn-commit).

Defensively, the Mustangs will have some holes to fill. Gone is Corey Flagg Jr (Miami) and Upton Stout (North Texas), so who will fill their shoes? Time to look to the youth. Denver Harris is a 6-foot-1 cornerback, who has shot up the recruiting ranks this offseason. Others to watch include Alonzo Brown, Broc Leblanc and Aaron Brown. Can North Shore win a third- straight title? We will see.

The Super 60 is complete.

These are the best of the best in Houston. The Can't-Miss kids who every college in the nation is coveting. It's all about positioning, however, as VYPE's Matt Malatesta puts his Top 10 in order.

The Class of 2022 is a special one, who we'll be watching on Saturdays to come. Maybe even beyond.

Carpenter tabbed to lead Klein Oak Football

HOUSTON - Brandon Carpenter is ready to continue developing the KOlture at Klein Oak High School.

The Klein Oak football offensive coordinator was announced on Tuesday as the next head football coach for the Panthers, replacing Jason Glenn, who moved into administration earlier this spring.

"It's an immeasurable sense of gratitude," Carpenter told VYPE via Twitter. "Oak is a special place, I'm surrounded by incredible student-athletes and very special people. I'm blessed to have come in with Coach Glenn in 2017 & help establish our KOlture, it's incumbent upon me to continue developing that vision for our young people."

I'm proud to announce that the new Head Football Coach, and Campus Athletic Coordinator @KLEINOAKFB @KleinOak, Brandon Carpenter! “Carp" has served as the Off. Coord. for the program the past 4 years. He's a great man, father, husband, and educator! @vypehouston @Matt_Stepp817 pic.twitter.com/DmBmVvePdC

For the past four seasons, Carpenter has served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Glenn, who took over the program in 2017.

In that span, Klein Oak went 31-15 overall and made the playoffs every single season. The Panthers registered 10 wins in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns, averaging 31.2 points per game in 2018.

But it's not all about the stats and wins for Glenn when you first mention Carpenter.

"He's a great man first and foremost!," Glenn, the new Klein ISD Director of Student Outreach, said. "And that's what the program has been about since we came together to run Oak! He will continue to put the kids first and will win a lot of games!

"He will teach them that football is great but what type of man/lady will you be without sports! He's my brother, my friend and I'm so happy for him, the school and our community! I love my guy! [Klein Oak Principal] Thomas Hensley made a great hire!"

LETS GOOOOOOOO! So happy and proud of my brotha @Coach_BCarp ! He is the NEW Head Coach /AD for @KLEINOAKFB ! @thomashensley great hire! You guys will be AMAZING at making @KleinOak even more special! Gods plan never fails! @blackstacy94 you can fix that walk now! 😂 #OVERJOYED pic.twitter.com/UOB4D60Oqr
