WILLIS RETURNS TO CONTENTION ON THE GRIDIRON B E T T E R THAN EVER \\ Matthew Ogle

FOOTBALL IS BECOMING A BRAND AT WILLIS HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT COMES FROM THE TOP. The district’s Executive Director of Athletics and Fine Arts Jason Glenn played at Texas A&M and in the NFL. Glenn got his man a year ago in head coach Trent Miller, who previously built Spring High School into a Houston powerhouse. Miller has a face of the program and alpha in the locker room in All American QB DJ Lagway. The dual-threat, Florida commit is a generational talent and could lead the ‘Kats to the postseason and beyond. Lagway is flanked by two first-team WRs in Jalen Mickens and Debraun Hampton, and a one-two punch in the backfield with Terri Lawrence and Daylion Robinson. On defense, look for Jermaine Bishop, Jr. and Imauree Holmes to headline a speedy secondary. Willis also has a strong front seven with first-teamer Josiah Stephens, Zach Lang, and Isacc Stafford (Air Force) in the trenches. Meanwhile, Brock Perry, Christian Hall, and Klein Forest-transfer Carter Jenkins make up a dangerous linebacking corps. Could this be the year that coach Trent Miller and company shock their district rivals?

Stay tuned.
