Showtime U - November 11, 2026

Showtime U Stats

The New Waverly Bulldogs have never had a season quite like this year. A district championship and tremendous wins over rival programs were fueled by the electric quarterback play of Ryson Nunez. The Bulldogs relied on Nunez during the season closer against Kountze, as he put up 14/21 passing for 231 yards and four touchdowns to go along with four carries for 17 yards and a rushing touchdown. This performance was critical in ending a district championship regular season for New Waverly, along with another Huntsville Item Player of the Week selection for Nunez.

Tavis Coleman has proved time and time again that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the state of Texas, and he solidified that statement with a ruthlessly efficient game against Sam Rayburn. The Shadow Creek quarterback threw 9/10 for a total of 255 yards and four touchdowns. The 90% completion percentage for as many yards as Coleman had was noteworthy for its efficiency and deserved recognition in Shadow Creek's 70-10 win to end the regular season.

Klein Cain fought to the bitter end of the season, as shown in their 66-24 victory over district opponent Klein Forest. Leading the charge on offense for the Hurricanes was senior running back Eyan Johnson, who sliced through the Klein Forest defense to the tune of 16 carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns. The future remains bright for Johnson as he begins to make his steps towards playing at the collegiate level after a sensational high school career.

In the same district as Johnson's Hurricanes, Klein Collins was playing for their lives in a close battle against Klein Oak under the Thursday night lights. Luckily for the Tigers, Tyce Hudson was the definition of efficient in their much-needed 56-28 win, turning just eight touches into 116 total yards of offense and a touchdown. Hudson and the Tigers had everything fall just the way they needed to after their win, landing them a spot in the upcoming Texas UIL 6A playoffs.

The definition of consistent, Magnolia West's Dawson "The Duke" Campbell stamped his name as one of the most prolific defenders in program history with another double-digit tackle performance. In the Mustangs' final game of the season, Campbell secured 11 tackles and a fumble recovery on defense to go with an unconventional rushing touchdown that left everything on the field during his high school sendoff. Campbell now readies for his jump to high school after securing the 12th most tackles in Texas 6A football this season.

Texas District 15-6A dominated the drama, with multiple teams fighting to occupy just four spots going into the postseason. One of the teams pushing during the season closer was Tomball High School, which secured a historic 33-7 win over Magnolia on Friday. Holding things down defensively was Chance Green, the scrappy defensive back who had started to receive looks offensively. Green's split effort saw him secure six tackles and a pass deflection while allowing zero receptions to his assigned receivers on defense and two catches for 31 yards offensively. His split talents, along with a strong defensive game as a whole for Tomball, saw the Cougars secure their first win at Magnolia High School since 1990.

The postseason is in full swing for high schoolers, so be sure to come back here next week to see who made the cut and highlighted the best performances under the lights of the playoffs.
