VYPE U: Ament's 2020 Vision

Daniela Quiroga
Oct 16, 2020

Grant Ament, PLL Archers

VYPE U takes a look at Grant Ament, a former Penn State collegiate lacrosse player, and how he has become the most hyped professional lacrosse player. Ament was selected first overall in the 2020 Premier Lacrosse League Draft by Archers. He enters as the player who left Penn State being the schools career leader in points and assists.

Taking a look at game number three of the PLL two week championship series, Archers vs. Atlas, Ament begins by having strong vision and immense power. Starting off, he really left an impression when it comes to the amount of assists he can vision and execute in a short amount of time. In the first quarter Ament starts off at X, also known as "behind the net," staying open while there's a battle for the ground ball.

We've got three Atlas defenders on two Archers attackers trying to win this ground ball. Marcus Holman (Archers) swiftly scoops through the ground and picks up the ball and proceeds to make a pass in, what seemed like, a second to Ament. Ament sees the lane to pass to Sankey. Sankey blasts off with power in his left hand executing a perfect shot and first goal of the game.

This great identification made by Ament may be what made him the number one overall pick in the league. In the same game, Grant becomes this important vision for the team and is able to identify certain pathways and openings to create plays. There's nothing more essential than vision when it comes to lacrosse. Take this play for example, the ball is going back and forth between players, not having any space for movement, the shot clock is running low, they have to get to the cage but then we get a skip pass from Shreiber then a behind the back from Holman to Ament.

Once Ament receives the ball he sees a lane opening while Atlas defenders are moving wider and wider apart trying to enclose other attackers. Ament passes the ball down this lane to Manny and he drives to the cage yielding the perfect goal. Grant Ament definitely made his mark in the world of assists. This game is only one of many where he shined. Ending this two week series with 20 points, 14 assists, 6 goals and a championship win for the Archers.

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
— Thomas Hensley (@thomashensley) April 13, 2021

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
