THE ELITE 11: Houston High School Football's Brightest Stars
It's playoff time in the State of Texas and this is when legends are made.
Here are the Elite 11 Houston area stars who could build on their legacies over the next month.
...
THE ELITE 11
Dematrius Davis, North Shore QB, Senior
The best player in the history of Houston High School football. He's a generational guy, who has a football IQ that is unmatched for what he is asked to do. North Shore is the No. 2 team in the COUNTRY… he's why.
…
Conner Weigman, Bridgeland, QB, Junior
The Bears have been to the postseason once in school history… last season and they lost. Weigman will make school history by getting the team's first postseason win and beyond. He's a program-changer, not at the high school level… the college level.
…
Jalen Milroe, Tompkins, QB, Senior
HOT TAKE ALERT: Can Milroe out-duel North Shore and Dematrius Davis in the high school version of the IRON BOWL? Davis is committed to Auburn and Milroe to Alabama. If anyone beats North Shore in the Region, it's going to be Milroe and Tompkins.
…
Joseph Manjack, Tomball Memorial, WR, Senior
Manjack? More like Man-Child. Manjack affects the game like no other from the WR/RB/Wildcat position. You have to see this kid to appreciate him. He's big, fast and is a highlight waiting to happen. He can return kicks also. He's picked up offers from Utah, USC and UH since decommitting from Washington State.
…
Cameron Gray, Dobie, QB, Junior
Dobie is a Top 5 storyline this season. The Longhorns can ball and at the center of their success is QB Cameron Gray. Gray is accurate and can run an offense to perfection. He's also big enough to take off and run for chunk plays. Tough first-round opponent against Atascocita, but he's a great talent and just a junior.
…
Bishop Davenport, Spring, QB, Junior
Ooooh… weeee. Spring is fun to watch. The undefeated Lions' signature win was on a Hail Mary against Westfield. Davenport is big with a great arm. He also has targets to get the ball to. Davenport is that QB who can put Spring into the Regional Rounds.
…
The Davis Brothers (Jalen and Seth), Katy, RB, Senior and Sophomore
Coach Gary Joseph could ride these guys all the way to the Class 6A DII Region III title. They are different backs – Jalen is a bull between the tackles and Seth can bounce it outside with speed. Don't sleep on Jalen's speed, however. The Davis' are the most important pieces at Katy with an inexperienced QB and WRs on the outside.
…
The FB Marshall Defense
The Buffs' defense has to get their respect. They have given up 20 points in nine games. If you are doing the math… that's 2.2 points per game. Staggering. Kenneth Seymour, Joshua Ulmer, Jaylon Williams, Laurence Tillman, Zachary Chapman, Jacobe Chester, Adari Haulcy and Chris Stephens are getting it done.
…
Jaydon Blue, Klein Cain, RB, Junior
Ok, sometimes you forget about someone's ability because they get so much publicity. But… Jaydon Blue had over 1,900 total yards out of the backfield. Don't forget how good this guy is. Remember Trey Williams of Dekankey, who led the Wildcats to a state title? Well, Blue is that kind of guy.
…
Cody Jackson, Foster, WR, Senior
The 6-foot-2 WR is making everyone else look like they are in slow motion. Foster is the big-play guy that has to be accounted for all the time. Even then, he makes plays. The OU-commit shines when the lights are brightest, but does Foster have enough around him to make that run?
…
Mitch Hall, Magnolia, RB, Senior
This guy is the lead Dawg on the Doghouse at Magnolia. He is so underrated as a featured back in the state of Texas. He rushed for over 2,000 yards as a junior. He's led Magnolia to a district title and is riding a wave of momentum into the postseason. He's no dummy either, following the blocks of Matthew Wykoff, who is headed to Texas A&M.
…
THE NEXT 10: LJ Johnson, (RB), Cy-Fair; Brock Bolfing (QB), Montgomery; Ty Harris, (RB) Manvel; Shadrach Banks (WR), North Shore; Damon Bankston (RB), Paetow; Kameron Kincheon (QB), CE King; Kendrick Rhymes (Athlete), Heights; Cameron King (RB,KR, DB), Cy Park; Torrance Burgess (RB), Dawson; Luke Sampson (QB), Clear Springs; Lonnie Madison (Coach), College Park

Jaydon Tutwiler-Drew (@DrewJaydon) - New Caney
Great WIN for New Caney Eagles #UMW #OTA pic.twitter.com/bN8MaWudFY
— Jaydon Tutwiler-Drew (@DrewJaydon) November 11, 2020
In New Caney's 48-40 win over Cleveland last week Jaydon Tutwiler-Drew was a key piece to the victory. The junior signal-caller went 3 of 4 for 70 yards and a touchdown through the air. Then he added 121 yards and a score on just six carries on the ground.
KeKe Davis (@jakenan23) - Baytown Lee
Keke Davis starts off the 3rd qrt with a huge run for his 3rd score of the game to tie it all up 27-27! @baytownleefb @GCCISD #GanderPride pic.twitter.com/nWPLWgpevN
— Baytown Lee High School (@REL_Ganders) November 6, 2020
It was a thrilling 48-44 victory for Baytown Lee last week over Galveston Ball. The Ganders had a big performance from main back Keke Davis in the victory. Davis rushed for 142 yards and three scores on just 19 carries for the Ganders. Baytown Lee continues to play impressive football as they hold second place in district heading into this week's showdown with undefeated Port Arthur Memorial.
Xavier Smallwood (@xavier25zay) - Foster
Pre-Season Highlights ! https://t.co/2pA0p1FvSy
— Xavier Smallwood (@xavier25zay) November 1, 2020
It was a big showdown for Foster last week as they faced off against Katy Paetow. The Falcons ended up winning the meeting 28-10 and a key factor was the running of Xavier Smallwood. The back busted off 117 yards and one score on 16 carries for the Falcons.
Brock Bolfing (@BrockBolfing) - Montgomery
Mid- Season Highlight! 1,512 Passing yards, 16 Passing TD’s, 66% completion. - https://t.co/dRUJJqVipz
— Brock Bolfing (@BrockBolfing) November 10, 2020
There is being efficient and then there is was Brock Bolfing did for Montgomery last week in a 49-22 victory over Bryan Rudder. The junior finished the game 13 of 15 for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Bolfing completed 86% of his passes and had zero turnovers. On the season, Bolfing has passed for 1,512 yards and 16 scores with just three interceptions. He has helped guide the Bears to a 4-2 record through six games.
Roland Harvey (@rh_era1) - Fort Bend Marshall
Had to turn the jets on for the 1 time 👀😁 @MikeWestHTX pic.twitter.com/V0BbW3kYAw
— Roland Harvey (@rh_era1) November 7, 2020
Fort Bend Marshall has it rolling and quarterback Roland Harvey is a big reason why. Against Houston Austin last week in a 63-6 victory, Harvey went 8 of 15 for 197 yards and four scores passing. He added 99 yards rushing and a score on just five carries. Five total touchdowns for Harvey and the Buffs offense look like they haven't missed a beat.
Cardell Williams (@staywokee2) - Westfield
When you mention the top HSFB programs in the state of Texas, you’d be crazy not to bring up those Westfield Mustangs in Houston Tx🐎
— The Corporate Jock 👑 (@MikeWestHTX) November 9, 2020
Huge thanks to the entire WHS family for the amazing hospitality, can’t wait until the next Drip City 💦.
🎥:@TheGameplanU | @BallerTribe pic.twitter.com/1pSsRdQsvy
The Westfield Mustangs are 4-1 on the 2020 season and last week had a big 52-7 win over Nimitz. In that victory, Cardell Williams was on point. He went 13 of 19 for 308 yards and five touchdowns and one interception. Williams has grown into that starting QB role as he is 60 of 107 for 1,039 yards and 12 scores this season. We knew he was good as a sophomore and he's showing his skills again as a junior.
Luke Giron (@luke_giron) - Pasadena Memorial
351 Passing Yards
— Luke Giron (@luke_giron) November 7, 2020
3 Passing TD's
136 Rushing Yards
1 Rushing TD
Won 38-26💯🏈 pic.twitter.com/tqdEY6SOGm
Luke Giron went off last week in a 38-26 win over Channelview. Giron went 24 of 31 for 351 yards, three touchdowns and an interception through the air. On the ground, Giron added 159 yards and a score on 19 carries. He was dynamic late in the game. Pasadena Memorial was down nine with three minutes to go in the third quarter. The Mavericks ended up scoring 21 in the fourth quarter to win the game.
Joshua McMillan (@Duece1324) - Katy Tompkins
TOUCHDOWN @othsfalconfb: Alabama-commit @JalenMilroe throws a laser to Joshua McMillan for his second score of the game. This one from 18 yards out. #txhsfb
— vypehouston (@vypehouston) November 6, 2020
2nd - 1:14@othsfalconfb - 14@Katyfootball - 10
The angle of this is 🔥 (@ColbyHuerter @SimoneEli_TV @KPRC2RandyMc) pic.twitter.com/mkFct7LIVo
You might have heard that Katy Tompkins beat Katy last week. If you didn't, you are probably living under a rock and aren't reading this article anyways. Well they did and that snapped Katy's 75-game district game winning streak. There were a lot of great performances in that game but one that stood out was that of Joshua McMillan at receiver. McMillan finished the game with eight catches for 146 yards and three scores to help beat the Tigers. McMillan isn't the biggest receiver but Katy didn't have an answer for him all night.
Cale Hellums (@calehellums10) - Tomball
Picked the mind of Tomball quarterback @calehellums10 after he scored the game winning touchdown and watched the field goal miss on the sidelines. He also talked about how big of a win this was for the Cougars in district play. @vypehouston | #TXHSFB pic.twitter.com/PnhIWPumKL
— Tommy Yarrish (@tommy_yarrish) November 6, 2020
Tomball won an absolute thriller last week. Tomball defeated Klein Oak 17-16 after the Panthers missed a would-be game-winning field goal. Cale Hellums ended up having the go-ahead touchdown for the Cougars. Hellums finished the game 11 of 20 for 168 yards and one touchdown through the air and then rushed for another 118 yards and a score on 21 carries. So, a total of 286 yards for Hellums in the win.
