WHAT-A-TEAM: North Shore flexes over red-hot CE King
The North Shore Mustangs have been the big brand in Greater Houston high school football for more than a decade. But after graduating a massive senior class, there were plenty of questions heading into the 2025 season.
When the Mustangs opened the year with a loss to South Oak Cliff, things got quiet on the #Eastside. Real quiet.
But not for long.
North Shore found its rhythm with wins over Crowley and Westfield, setting the stage for district play. And over the past two weeks, the Mustangs have reminded everyone exactly who runs this city.
They’ve handled business in a big way — taking down Atascocita, 47-28, and then cooling off red-hot CE King, 42-27. Now, a showdown with No. 6 Summer Creek looms large.
Behind QB Kaleb Maryland, WR Jaylen Bocard, and RB Hezekiah Johnson — who’s running behind a massive offensive line — the Mustangs’ offense is rolling. Meanwhile, the defense has rediscovered its bite, propelling North Shore right back into the State Championship conversation.
The message is clear: North Shore never left.
🏆 The North Shore Mustangs are your Whataburger Team of the Week.
Dekaney legend Trey Williams and VYPE's Matt Malatesta

Trey Williams: The Original VYPE Star
Before the explosion of Houston high school football coverage, before social media turned recruits into celebrities, there was Trey Williams — one of the first bona fide stars of the VYPE Media era, which dates back two decades.
The electrifying running back from Spring Dekaney was pure fast-twitch energy — smooth, confident, and surgical in his preparation. Williams didn’t just play the game; he transformed a brand-new school into a state powerhouse.
In 2012, he led the Dekaney Wildcats to a Class 5A State Championship, putting the program on the map and his name in Texas high school football history. Along the way, he amassed over 8,000 rushing yards in one of the state’s toughest districts and finished his prep career as the No. 4-ranked running back in the nation. He was, simply put, that dude.
Williams became a fixture at VYPE — gracing the cover of VYPE Magazine three times, an honor reserved for the elite of the elite.
Now, in a rare sit-down, Williams joins VYPE co-founder Matt Malatesta to reminisce about his legendary career — from his days at Dekaney to his choice to play at Texas A&M, and everything that’s followed since.
This is a can’t-miss conversation with one of Houston’s true Mt. Rushmore athletes of the past 20 years.
