VYPE’s Matt Malatesta, Jackson DiPasquale, Matthew Ogle and Alex Hinson are back to review and preview the Houston high school football scene as we roll into the State Semifinal week of the TXHSFB playoffs, and the storylines are already heating up.
The season is coming to an end with the State Championships next week — listen in as Malatesta, DiPasquale, Ogle and Hinson break it all down on On My Whistle.
Few teams were as staggering — or as balanced — as Parish Episcopal this fall. The Panthers’ 12–1 campaign crescendoed in the postseason, culminating in a 14–7 win over Prestonwood Christian that restored their place atop TAPPS-DI.
The victory not only secured another championship, but marked the program’s sixth title in the last seven years — a feat that underscores the dynasty Parish has quietly, yet emphatically, built.
Head coach Daniel Novakov reflects on the team’s pathway back to the crown, its significance, and more.

The stars of 2025-26 Atascocita Basketball
No. 1 -- ATASCOCITA EAGLES
Few teams can match the sheer aura that Atascocita wields through each passing year.
Highlighted by an undefeated District 23-6A championship — marking back-to-back titles— the Eagles capped off their 28-5 campaign last winter with an appearance in the 6A-D1 Regional Semifinals. Though their ambitions of a State run were halted by Seven Lakes in a 53-48 thriller, all signs point toward an emphatic response from coach David Martinez and company in 2026.
Gone is 23-6A MVP Jaylen Fenner, now at Louisiana Tech, but don’t let that fool you — Atascocita is still stacked.
Senior combo guard Adam Boyd (LA Tech-signee) headlines the returners, bringing veteran poise and versatility after earning first-team, all-district honors. He’ll be joined in the backcourt by Jachai Cantave, a New Mexico State-signee who transferred back from SoCal Academy over the offseason. The three-star point guard’s return adds another layer of explosiveness to an already potent lineup.
Senior wing Zayson Salanoa (6-foot-7) -- yet another Eagle to announce his commitment LA Tech -- provides valuable length and scoring touch after a second-team, all-district showing, while fellow senior Cameron Ned and rising junior Royce Shelton round out a deep, battle-tested rotation.
If all goes according to plan, the Eagles’ trademark blend of finesse, athleticism, and experience could guide them back to the State Tournament for the first time since 2022 — and the fourth time in program history.
