ON CAMPUS: Shadow Creek's Boyd-Thomas talks culture, expectations, State
Angel Boyd-Thomas coaches hard.
But like the best in the business, she builds relationships with her athletes—allowing them to get the most out of themselves.
The Shadow Creek High School girls track and field team enters the season as the defending Class 6A State Champions, and they have their sights set on doing it again.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Coach Boyd-Thomas to talk expectations, culture and why Shadow Creek feels like home.

THE OFFSEASON: CE King is Houston's next power progam that is here to stay; a must watch
Entering 2025, C.E. King Panthers football was flying under the radar after a 5-5 season and missing the playoffs.
Enter Corey Laxen.
His presence precedes him. He’s got the chops. He sounds like a coach, looks like a coach and commands the room like one.
In Laxen’s first season, the Panthers got their swagger back—and then some—going 13-3 and advancing all the way to the Class 6A Division II State Finals.
Though they fell to DeSoto Eagles football inside AT&T Stadium, one thing is clear:
C.E. King is here to stay.
They’re young. They’re fast. They’re physical and they’re hungry.
So the question becomes—are the Panthers Houston’s next powerhouse?
Laxen has seen the blueprint up close, spending years on staff at perennial state power North Shore Mustangs football.
Now, the pieces are in place.
- The facilities.
- The players.
- The coach.
- The experience on the biggest stage.
Texas high school football… consider yourself on notice.
