Jun 16, 2025

Lloyd Banks has been the face of Greater Houston high school track for more than a decade, leading the Fort Bend Marshall boys and girls programs to UIL gold—again and again and again.

But all dynasties evolve, and Banks’ legendary run at Marshall has come to a close—sending shockwaves throughout the Texas high school track community.

VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with the iconic coach at his new home: Jack Yates High School.

This isn’t just a new chapter—it’s a full-circle moment. Banks is a proud Yates alum and previously served as an assistant coach for the Lions.

Now, he's back where it all began.

Because for Lloyd Banks, home is where the heart is.
