Signing Day Update presented by T-Mobile: Lufkin High School

Dec 19, 2019

Early National Signing Day is always a big day for the athlete, families and the school to celebrate the accomplishment of signing to the next level.

On Wednesday, Lufkin High School honored a handful of student-athletes who signed to the next level.

Lufkin wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk made it official with the Red Raiders signing to Matt Wells' 2020 class. Polk finished this season with more than 1,000 yards receiving. The last wide receiver to head from Lufkin to Lubbock was Keke Coutee, who was drafted out of Texas Tech by the Houston Texans.

"I'm hoping to continue that legacy," Polk told KTRE's Caleb Beames on following in Coutee's footsteps.

Polk will be early enrolling at Texas Tech and is set to arrive in January.

Polk wasn't the only Lufkin Panther to put ink to paper on Wednesday.

Safety Jerrin Thompson officially became a future opponent of Polk's signing with the Texas Longhorns. Thompson is a 6-foot, four-star rated safety that in the future will most likely be covering Polk when Texas Tech and Texas collide in Big 12 Conference play.

Thompson was ranked No. 267 in the ESPN 300.

Let's kick it.

The Houston-area soccer season is embarking on district play as the "Run for State" begins now.

The area boys are led by nationally-ranked Elsik, Seven Lakes, Tompkins and Kingwood Park. College Park and Sharpstown reached state a season ago so they will be in the conversation along with Spring Woods, Strake Jesuit, Episcopal and Aldine.

The girls are headlined by Tompkins, St. Agnes, Cypress Woods and Kingwood. Don't sleep on Cinco Ranch, Atascocita, Memorial, Friendswood, Kingwood Park and The Woodlands girls as well.

Some of the top individual girls include Klein Oak's Isobel Herrod (Oregon State), Memorial's Kelsey Hranicky (Texas), Kinkaid's Jordan Guy (Ok State), Kiran Singh, Cy Woods (UTSA), Mayde Creek's Kirsten Baxa, Klein's Micah Beasley and Tompkins' Avery Burchett (Sam Houston) and Skylar Parker (UT-Tyler).

The boys are headlines by Spring Woods Benjamin Davila, Seven Lakes' Juan Pablio Dominguez, Tompkins' Bryce Robisch and Elsik's Andrei Agurrie, Edgar Renteria and Miguel Chavarria.

HOUSTON - It has been all smiles for St. Pius X basketball to start district play.

The Panthers opened district play on Friday at home with a dominating 80-45 victory over Beaumont Kelly and then carried that momentum into Tuesday against St. John XXIII. The Panthers are 2-0 in district play.

In the 35-point win over Kelly, Jason Jefferson (19), Derrick Brown III (15), Jamikah Chevis (13 & 10 reb) led the way for the Panthers. On Tuesday, it was Jalen Wysinger's night scoring 19, grabbing 10 boards and five assists in the win. Jason Johnson scored 15 and Derrick Brown had 10.

VYPE Photographer Bradley Collier was on hand to capture the action in Friday's win over Beaumont Kelly. Check out some of the pics below. For a FULL GALLERY - CLICK HERE
