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.
