Watch below as Matt talks with Stratford Head Football Coach Todd Rankin:
The Gators of Dickinson
By Matt Powell
No. 20 — DICKINSON GATORS
Consistency has become the standard at Dickinson under head coach Toya Peterson.
Approaching Year No. 4 at the wheel, Peterson has guided the Gators to an 80-22 record and six consecutive playoff appearances. Last winter’s 26-9 finish, capped by a District 24-6A title, reaffirmed the program’s place among the area’s 6A contenders. This year’s group returns a strong nucleus, anchored by first-team, all-district selection Lindsey Scott, who holds multiple college
offers and remains on an upwards trajectory.
She’ll be joined by veterans Tessa Treat (Jr. G), Kylie Cleveland (Jr. F), and Jaleigh Wilson (Sr. G), as well as freshman post Makinley Peterson — a group that gives Dickinson a reliable senseof chemistry.
For the Gators, the focus remains simple but demanding: “Defend & Dictate.”

The stars of 2025-26 Nimitz Girls Basketball

No. 21 — NIMITZ COUGARS
Nimitz turned heads a year ago, going 13-1 in district play and advancing to the 6A-D1 Regional Semifinals before bowing
out to eventual state finalist Cedar Hill.
The Kendra Venzant-led Cougars closed the year at 26-9, further cementing their place as one of the area’s well-run organizations. As the new season unfolds, Nimitz looks to extend its playoff streak to six straight appearances — a goal made realistic by a sturdy foundation of returning talent.
Junior Tatiyana Cole (6.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.1 bpg), a first-team, all-district honoree, anchors the interior with her physical presence and defensive instincts, while sophomore Alayia Hutchinson (4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 2 apg)— a second-team pick — brings energy to the backcourt.
Also expected to contribute are Jamyla Thomas and Johnielys Clemente Quinones, who round out a roster built on resilience.
Adversity will come, but if there’s one thing the Cougars have proven, it’s that they’re built to handle the grind.

One of the most legendary high schools in the city of Houston is Jack Yates High — better known as “Third Ward High.”
This year, the school is celebrating its 100th anniversary along with the 40th anniversary of the iconic 1985 State Championship team — a squad many consider one of the greatest in Texas high school football history.
In his first year at the helm, Jason Lewis has the Lions roaring. Yates is 11-0 and headed into the second round of the postseason. The Lions are coming off a dominant 50-24 win over Needville and now square off with Pine Tree High this weekend.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Coach Lewis to talk about the turnaround, the culture shift, and the energy buzzing across campus.
