NEW VIBE: Kingwood's Cale Melton takes helm at Lake Creek
Cale Melton is on the move.
The former Kingwood High School head football coach has been named the new head coach and athletic coordinator at Lake Creek High School.
Football runs deep in Melton’s roots. His father spent years coaching at Atlanta High School, and Melton carved out his own path as defensive coordinator at Highland Park High School, where he helped capture two state championships before taking over at Kingwood.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Melton as the dust settled on the hire.
Despite a few technical hiccups during the interview, his message came through loud and clear…
There’s a new vibe at Lake Creek.

THE FAMILY OF FOOTBALL: Shadow Creek's LaFell, Addai put their trust in Green; the podcast
Football is about family—especially at Shadow Creek High School.
Head coach Tyrone Green paid his dues as a longtime assistant at Lamar High School. Back in the early 2000s, one of his stars was Brandon LaFell, who went on to shine at LSU Tigers football and carve out a nine-year career in the NFL.
LaFell’s running mate in Baton Rouge—and his ride back to Houston—was Joseph Addai, a Sharpstown legend, first-round draft pick and seven-year NFL veteran.
Together, they captured national titles at LSU in 2003 and 2007, and later hoisted Lombardi Trophies in Super Bowl XLI and Super Bowl XLIX with the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots.
Fast forward 25 years—and the story feels familiar. Green now has another BJ LaFell, a promising freshman, alongside sophomore standout Jaylen Addai.
Big shoes to fill, but the next generation looks ready. VYPE's Matt Malatesta talks family with the Sharks.
