The Houston Christian boys host the Mustang Classic
COACH SPEAK: Houston Christian's Crandall talks Mustang Classic, career
One of the best high school basketball tournaments in Texas is once again being hosted by Houston Christian — the storied Mustang Classic.
Now in its 23rd year, the tournament will showcase some of the top teams in Greater Houston and spotlight the No. 1 player in Texas, Second Baptist star Reese Alston.
At the center of it all is longtime Mustang coach Ron Crandall, the architect of the event and one of the most respected voices in the game. Crandall has surpassed 550 career wins, cementing his legacy as one of the state’s elite coaches.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Coach Crandall ahead of the Mustang Classic to talk basketball, his remarkable career, and the 2025 Houston Christian squad.
