McKinney High relying on youth for run to postseason

Dec 20, 2019

Wes Watson has been pacing the sidelines at McKinney High School for 19 years.

He's seen it all and has weathered the ups and downs of coaching. Last year, McKinney didn't make the playoffs and Watson wants to get the Lions back in the conversation.

"It was disappointing," he said. "We missed it by one game. We got some things corrected and are looking forward to district play."

Back in the huddle are a pair of sophomores Alex Anamekwe (Freshman of the Year) and Devin Vincent (all-district), who are the cornerstones of the program. Need leadership? Call on Lucas Palenzuela.

"There are eight playoff-caliber teams in our district, so we have our work cut out for us," he said.

VYPE Recruit Spotlight: Katy Taylor's Trevor Woods

Prior to the 2019 season, it would have been hard to find info on Trevor Woods in the recruiting world.

Woods had a page on 24/7 but it didn't have any info. After the year the Katy Taylor junior had - 156 tackles and four interceptions returned for touchdowns - it is no surprise that since then his name and recruitment has picked up.

His offer came from Rice and since then they have started to stack up including ones from Army, Cornell, Harvard, Penn, Air Force, UTSA, Montana State, HBU, Columbia, Dartmouth, Yale and Pitt.

VYPE Media Managing Editor Joshua Koch caught up with the 2021 prospect, who also plays baseball at Katy Taylor.
