THE RANKINGS: Bishop check-mates The Woodlands; Randle dominates
It was a lighter weekend across the Houston area as several districts enjoyed a bye before opening district play.
The headliner came in Willis’ 42-30 rivalry win over The Woodlands, where Texas Longhorn commit Jermaine Bishop Jr., showed off his full arsenal. Playing quarterback, running back, and even wideout, Bishop was a one-man highlight reel. And that’s before you even mention what he does on defense. The victory puts Willis firmly in the driver’s seat for the district title, with College Park looming in the weeks ahead.
Meanwhile, how about the Waller Bulldogs (3-1)? They stunned Top 10 Cypress Woods in a one-point thriller, a statement win that rockets Waller into the Top 25 rankings.
In Class 5A, the story was Randle’s dominant win over Fort Bend Marshall, sending a clear message to the rest of the state.

ON MY WHISTLE: Who makes the list of the Big Tickets in Houston?
The lights are always bright on Friday nights in Greater Houston, but some players shine even brighter.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta and Jackson DiPasquale have their eyes locked on five of the Bayou City’s most electric talents — athletes who are true “big tickets” this fall.
At the top of the list is Jermaine Bishop Jr. of Willis. The speedy wideout is already a household name across Texas, pairing elite athleticism with game-breaking ability every time he touches the ball.
On the east side, Cardae Mack of Atascocita is a can’t-miss prospect. Physical, explosive, and versatile, Mack is the kind of player who impacts every phase of the game and sets the tone for one of the area’s most consistent programs.
Swinging out west, Landen Williams-Callis of Randle High School is putting surrounding schools on notice. His size and skill make him a mismatch nightmare, and he’s quickly climbing recruiting boards.
Down south, Chris Stewart of Iowa Colony embodies the explosiveness and toughness that has turned the Pioneers into a rising power. Whether he’s breaking off long runs or controlling the pace, Stewart is the type of athlete who fills stands.
And don’t forget the many others across the Greater Houston footprint pushing their way into the spotlight — the city is loaded. These are players you pay to see, the ones who can flip a game with one play.
See who else made the list.
