Tompkins Boys Basketball
No. 3 Katy Tompkins Falcons
Could this year's Tompkins squad be better than the one that reached the State Finals in 2018?
The Falcons will be deadly from the three-point arc with first-teamer BB Knight (Louisiana Tech-commit), second-teamer Luke Coughran and Jason Clark, a Village School transfer, all in the mix. Clark was a second-team, all- state TAPPS selection, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 boards a game. Also returning from Fulshear High is Carmelo Yakubu, who could have a breakout season.
Big 6-foot-8 post Joel Oluokun was a first-teamer a year ago and is rehabbing a weird injury. He didn't injure his ACL; he didn't have one. He had it repaired and will be back in December. Also, watch out for Nick Lancit.
With 11 seniors returning, coach Bobby Sanders will have a mature locker room with a ton of experience. That is a recipe for success.

During the Thanksgiving break, many teams were afforded the opportunity to play in the invite-only HoopFest! Fort Worth O.D. Wyatt and John Paul II basketball went head-to-head on Saturday. The John Paul II Cardinals were able to pull out a big 78-54 victory over the Chaparrals. VYPE DFW was there to catch all of the action!
The Cardinals put up quite the fight as they continued to play hard on the court on Saturday. John Paul II was able to pull away with a strong lead and never look back. Fort Worth's O.D. Wyatt played hard throughout the entire game, but couldn't find the right footing against a strong JPII team. Check out our highlights below!
