VYPE Austin Central Texas Game of the Week Recap: Austin High dispatches Del Valle

In his first season as head coach, Cory Laxen is quickly making his mark at C.E. King. Since being promoted in January, Laxen has helped guide the Panthers toward fulfilling their championship potential—a trajectory that feels fitting given his coaching pedigree.

Before taking over at King, Laxen spent a decade on the staff at powerhouse North Shore, where he served as the Offensive Line Coach and Strength & Conditioning Coordinator under John Kay (now the defensive coordinator at Rice University). During his time there, the Mustangs captured four state titles, a testament to the winning culture Laxen has now instilled in his own program.
