Chase Goodwin is emerging as one to watch in Houston for the Class of 2023.
Why?
Well, for starters he's a 6-foot-3, 185-pound prototypical quarterback at the high school level -- big arm, athletic and tremendous size which continues to grow.
What you can't measure is work ethic and football IQ.
The Memorial sophomore stays on the grind in the weight room on the field and in the classroom. Goodwin goes the extra mile, honing his skills with QB coach Mike Quinn outside of school.
In the classroom, he's currently the No. 1 student at Memorial High School.
The VYPE HYPE team had the opportunity to see this up-and-comer and get a feel for what Memorial has to look forward to.
The stars of 2024-25 Tompkins Girls Basketball
The Falcons could be considered a sleeping giant in the Greater Houston Area.
Katy Tompkins returns four starters off a team that went 29-7 overall and 14-2 in 19-6A play. Last season came to an end in the Bi-District round but with the starters back in the huddle for 12th-year coach Tammy Ray (245-103), this team is primed to make a run.
First-team, all-district pick Rihanna DeLeon (UTPB-commit) is a three-point specialist for the Falcons after making 118 a year ago, including draining 15 in a game against Hardin-Jefferson. Other players to watch include Sascha Coughran, Kate Hopkins, Haylie Panter and Kayli Jensen. Staying healthy will be one of the keys to success for the Falcons as they “Play Fast-Be Relentless” this season.

2024-25 Yates Basketball
23 -- YATES LIONS
Yates will be in pursuit of their 20th consecutive playoff appearance this winter, on the heels of going 20-11 and reaching the Regional Quarterfinals a year ago.
That goal should be well within their reach, even though they’re expected to contend with Booker T. Washington, MLCPAYM, and Wheatley for district supremacy on an annual basis.
Fortunately for coach Greg Wise and company, the Lions have the luxury of bringing back four starters from their 2023 roster, beginning with Jordan Andrus (Sr. PF), who’s committed to Rice for football.
He’s joined on the court by Aiden Mohammed (Jr. SF), Calvin Murphy (Sr. G) and Joshua “JD” Wallace (Jr. F).
After being knocked out of the postseason by rival Washington, this season’s mantra will be, “win at any cost”, according to Wise.

2024-25 Pearland Basketball
24 -- PEARLAND OILERS
Despite competing in one of the city’s toughest districts, featuring the likes of Shadow Creek and Dawson, Pearland managed to go 20-15 and claim one of the coveted playoff spots last winter.
They’re definitely on the come-up, which should leave fans feeling optimistic heading into the new year.
Coach Delrick Brown’s culture is finally beginning to cement in his second year with the program, and the talent coming back should see the Oilers continuing to improve.
First-team, all-district honoree Devan Brown (Jr.) is a valuable asset at the guard position, who can stretch the court for the offense.
Senior center Ezenna Ibe provides some physicality for which he was given a second-team nomination.
Other key names to remember in 2024-25 will be Ryan Spears (Sr. PG), Byron Bibbs (Jr. F) and Avin Glover (Jr. C).
