On Tuesday, the Stony Point Tigers volleyball team took on the Round Rock Dragons in a tough district matchup.
Check out the highlights from the game below!
The Texas high school football season is officially halfway done as we have wrapped up week eight and head into week nine.
While the main focus is leading their teams to Jerry’s World, many players have seen a rise in their recruitments as of late with college programs looking to add to their classes.
VYPE takes a look at the Top 5 recruits who are heating up with offers and with schools starting to make a strong push over the past few weeks.
By Jackson DiPasquale
Jaylen Addai has been a star since he arrived at Shadow Creek and now in his junior season, he is ranked as the number one player in the state of Texas and number one wide receiver in the country. Addai holds 48 total offers to date and has seen his recruitment really heat up as schools are starting to emerge from the pack.
Alabama, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and Notre Dame are all schools heavily in the mix for Addai and will all look to take a top position heading into the offseason.
TK Gaines is the top 2028 quarterback prospect in H-Town and has proven that so far this season leading Waller to a 6-1 record, throwing for 1,999 yards and 24 touchdowns while rushing for 521 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Gaines went into the season holding 23 offers and since August, he has gained 4 more offer from the likes of West Virginia, Missouri, LSU and Florida State. Oregon, Houston and LSU are the teams to watch early on as a commitment could be coming in the near future.
Cash Hines came on to the recruiting scene over the offseason, picking up his first offer in May. He now holds 15 offers and has picked up 5 offers during the season from the likes of Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and SMU to name a few.
Ranked as the No. 2 linebacker in the country according to 247Sports, Hines will be one of the most sought after recruits in the country and should see his offer list only grow more and will be a player to keep an eye on over the next two years.

Nazeree Guy is a player that has quickly emerged as one of the top junior prospects in H-Town as prior to his current junior season, he held 3 offers… That is no longer the case as Guy has gained 14 offers since the start of the season and holds 17 offers overall from Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Nebraska and TCU to name a few.
Is Guy the next big-time star out of Willis high school? That looks to be the case and expect to see more offers roll in for the talented linebacker following a full season of varsity tape.

Karzell Davis saw his recruitment take off this summer as he picked up 20 offers from June to now. Davis holds 24 offers as of today from the likes of Miami, Oregon, LSU, Alabama and Ole Miss and most recently picked up offers from Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M and Arkansas. Davis is emerging as one of the top wide receiver prospects in not only Houston but in the entire state of Texas.
Through the first seven games of his sophomore season, Davis has recorded 695 all purpose yards with 5 touchdowns receiving and his play on the field should only garner more attention from Division One programs. Expect to see his offer list grow over the offseason after an impressive sophomore season.
The annual grudge match between Cedar Park and Vandegrift hasn’t always lived up to the hype – but that wasn’t the case in the most recent installment. The Timberwolves pushed past the Vipers 23-10 in an intense game at Monroe Memorial Stadium last Friday night (10/16) to secure the inside track for the District 24-6A championship in last week’s VYPE Austin Central Texas Game of the Week.
Vandegrift raced out to an early lead behind the tag-team rushing attack of juniors Preston James and Evan Williamson. James (18-103, 5.7 YPC, TD) capped off a brutally efficient opening drive with a 15-yard run to stake the Vipers to an early lead.
But it wouldn’t survive the quarter.
Cedar Park got on the board with the first of three field goals from junior Jack Girdeau, a 45-yarder that made it 7-3. Then a 26-yard touchdown strike from senior David Cooper (14-17, 179 Yds., TD) to senior Brayden Jahns (6-100, 16.7 YPC, TD) put the Timberwolves up 10-7 after the first quarter.
The teams traded second quarter field goals: Viper senior Landon Klein tied the game on a 38-yard kick before Girardeau’s 21-yard chip shot put the Timberwolves back on top. Then came a huge momentum shift.
Late in the second quarter, Vandegrift recovered a muffed punt at the Cedar Park 17-yard line and appeared poised to take a halftime lead -- but couldn’t capitalize. Instead, a missed Viper field goal sent Cedar Park into the locker room with their 13-10 lead intact.
Both defenses dominated in the third quarter. With Vandegrift’s offense hobbled after losing Williamson to injury, Cedar Park’s balanced offense took advantage of a tiring Vandegrift defense. With seniors Lucas Viloria (28-82) and Kysen Pham (14-42, TD) grinding out the clock, Girardeau’s hat trick upped the visitors’ lead to 16-10 before Pham’s 6-yard run capped off the clinching drive.
Cedar Park (4-0, 8-0) has now defeated each of the other three top contenders for the district crown and appears poised to capture the title in their first year as a 6A program. The Timberwolves host East View Friday night (11/23) before closing out the season as the visitors at Gupton against Vista Ridge.
After experiencing a third regular season loss for the first time since 2017, Vandegrift looks to get back on track and solidify their playoff position against Leander Friday night (10/23) at Bible Stadium.
VYPE Live will broadcast all those games.
