Whataburger Team of the Week: The Langham Creek Resurgence Reaches New Heights
Langham Creek's eight-year playoff drought is nearly history, but the Lobos aren't stopping there.
Todd Thompson’s squad improved to 7-2 overall with an exhilarating 56-51 victory over Cy-Fair last Friday. More importantly, LC’s 5-1 district record has effectively punched the program’s first ticket to the postseason since 2018.
The District 16-6A championship picture, however, is considerably more complex. Langham Creek currently shares first place with Cypress Falls and Cypress Lakes, courtesy of a three-way tie in which each team has defeated one of the others. One week remains to determine who will sit on the district throne, as the Lobos prepare to face Cypress Creek this Saturday.
Senior quarterback Jace Williams has been the catalyst behind LC’s explosive offense, throwing for over 2,000 yards and 19 touchdowns while adding nearly 650 yards and 12 scores on the ground. Junior receivers Camarre Palmer (nearly 700 receiving yards, 14 total TDs) and Ethan Robison (approximately 600 receiving yards, four TDs) provide dynamic options downfield.
Defensively, four-star Miami commit Ezekiel Ayangbile is back in action after missing time, having registered 48 tackles, eight tackles for loss and a team-leading four sacks. Fellow four-star standout and Texas Tech commit Jhadyn Nelson anchors the linebacking corps with nearly 70 tackles.
Langham Creek has already taken a significant step toward restoring its standing in Houston’s Class 6A hierarchy. Now, the Lobos have an opportunity to make that resurgence even more meaningful.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE San Antonio Football Rankings — Week 11 | Brennan, Johnson, Steele Pace 6A
The road to the UIL playoffs is nearly paved, though a few district crowns still hang in the balance
Brennan (8-1) continues to assert its supremacy, extending its winning streak to eight games with a commanding 69-0 shutout of Marshall. However, BFND still has one final hurdle before claiming the District 29-6A title. As fate would have it, Friday’s finale pits the Bears against Harlan — also 8-1 and unbeaten in league play — in a winner-take-all showdown.
Elsewhere in Class 6A, Johnson (8-0) has all but locked up its third consecutive district title, while Steele (7-1-1) has already mathematically clinched its sixth straight crown.
Class 5A boasts similar distinction, with Smithson Valley (9-0) entering the playoffs undefeated and celebrating back-to-back district championships. Boerne (9-0) is on the verge of matching that feat.
Tivy (8-1), meanwhile, slips slightly in the rankings after suffering its first defeat of the season, falling to Canyon Lake, 53-50, in a high-scoring thriller.
Week 11 now offers one final opportunity to settle unfinished business before the postseason takes center stage.
