VYPE U: Watching the Mavs

Being a 5A school the Manvel Mavericks knew they were in for a tough ride Friday night with the defending 6A State Champion North Shore Mustangs. Though the game didn't go as planned for the Mavericks, with a 49-14 loss to the Mustangs, the Mavs are going to do great things in Class 5A football this year.

Here are some things you can look forward to watching this season.


Dual Threat Quarterback Gabriel Larry

The new transfer QB Gabriel Larry is a dual-threat guy. He isn't only able to take off with the ball when he needs to, but he also has an amazing arm. He had two passing touchdowns against the Mustangs, and has passed for 562 yards in just three games. Alongside some great wide receivers and running backs, Larry and the Mavs offense are going to make some big plays this season.

Jalen Walthall

With every great QB comes a great wide receiver. Though Walthall didn't have many receptions this week, all those he did have were great. Just this year he is averaging nearly 30 yards per reception. He is quick on his feet, and will give any cornerback covering him a run for their money this season. He is also on the kickoff return team, and had returned a few kicks against North Shore. With Walthall and Larry in the works, you can expect some great highlights this season.

Justin Medlock

The highly recruited junior outside linebacker for the Mavs is averaging 8.1 tackles per game. He is a truly important piece on the defensive side of the ball for the Mavs. On Friday night he recorded ten total tackles, including two sacks. He is a big body, yet is able to cover ground quickly. If he gets loose he is definitely going to make a play.

These certainly aren't the only players that make up the Mavs team. They are full of talent and are a team that will do big things this season. After a little hiccup this week, you can expect the Mavs to come out hard in their upcoming game when they begin District Play against the 3-0 Angleton Wildcats.

"TEAM TIK TOK": Lake Creek having fun on way to historic season

Matt Malatesta

Lake Creek can pitch, hit, run and has a lot of fun

"Team Tik Tok" is 28-0 and VYPE's No. 1 team in the city.

"They are fun to watch," coach Michelle Rochinski said. "We have the bats, the pitching and the energy. The team chemistry is awesome. I honestly have to say I haven't had a team this good, ever.

"And, yes they do a lot of Tik Toks," she laughs.

So, where is Lake Creek – the school with the double-body-of-water-name? In the chill town of Montgomery, near Lake Conroe.

The Lions are "Country Girls" with swag with fully bedazzled face paint and a chant or cheer for every pitch. Don't let the giggles fool you, they are killers on the diamond.

Emiley Kennedy is the ace. When I say ace, I mean she hasn't given up an Earned Run… all season. The 6-foot-1 lefty (9-0), who has signed with Texas A&M, is intimidating on the mound and has a lethal repertoire of pitches.

"Captain Swag" is leadoff hitter and shortstop Maddie McKee, a sophomore with over 133,000 followers on Tik Tok, who can run like the wind. Against Kingwood Park, she went 4-4 with four steals and three runs. She sets the tone. You get the picture.

The "Big Stick" is sophomore Ava Brown who hits at a .615 clip and has 10 home runs. Kennedy has 11 bombs.

The leader of the defense is sophomore catcher Kalee Rochinski (40K Tik Tok followers). The coach's daughter has a tremendous softball IQ and is VOCAL!

Caelee Clark, Jenny Robison, Madelyn Lopez and Shelby Winn are also big-time contributors in the field and at the plate. Brown is a beast on the mound as well with a 10-0 record and Brenna Kelly is also a talented pitcher with a 4-0 record.

Lake Creek has only played three years of varsity softball and has never won a playoff game. Well, that will change this season as the Lions are on a collision course with the likes of Barbers Hill, Santa Fe and Foster for the Regional title and beyond.

This girls are really good, and they know it.
