VYPE Spotlight powered by Freddy's: Stratford long-snapper, Texas A&M-commit Connor Able
Jan 19, 2021
Connor Able remembers watching the All-American Bowl at his grandparent's house when he was just six-years-old and 12 years later would have the chance to actually play in it.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the game itself would not be played in early January as usual. Despite it not happening the players selected for the team were still honored through video tributes and the gear they would have received in San Antonio sent to them.
<p>"Never in a million years did I ever imagine I'd ever had a chance to be a part of and playing in that game," Able said. "They treated us awesome even though we didn't have the game. They didn't have to honor us at all but they still did and still sent us a ton of stuff." </p><p>Able recently committed to Texas A&M and will fill the role of long-snapper for the Aggies. The senior is also ranked No. 2 overall in his graduating class, was one of six national finalists for the Geico Man of the Year Award and is ranked as the No. 1 long-snapper in Texas. </p><p>Learn more about the future Aggie in this in-depth interview with Able and Stratford football coach Todd Rankin. </p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9787720712654893" data-ad-slot="8738871937" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

Crosby Community sends Cougars off to State
Jan 14, 2021
When a program hasn't played for a state championship in 60 years, there is a reason to be excited.
The Crosby community came out in droves on Thursday to send its football team up to Arlington in style with a sendoff that they will never forget.
Behind a full police and firetruck escort down FM 2100, riding in three charter buses the Cougars' football team watched as hundreds of parents lined the road with signs, bells and pompoms to cheer on their hometown team.
"It means a lot," Raymond Blanchard, a Crosby High School teacher who helped organize the sendoff, said. "You saw everybody happy and this community always comes together. It means a lot to support the students. We have great students here at Crosby. I got a little emotional recording watching everybody.
"There's no place like this. I just love it. It's the perfect place for me. I just love Crosby."
VYPE Media's Joshua Koch was on hand for the sendoff. Check out the video from the event.
