St. Pius X coach Stephen Hill has turned in his resignation today at the Houston-area power program.

Hill has led the Panthers to back-to-back TAPPS state semi-final runs, but will move on from the proud program, leaving behind the likes of national-recruits Grant Gunnell, McKade Mettauer, Chase Lane and Jalen Curry.

β€œSt. Pius has accepted my resignation,” Hill said. β€œI have several college coaching offers on the table and felt like it was time. My wife and I have talked about this a lot, and I have to do what is best for me and my family.”

Hill came over to St. Pius from Rice University where he was a quality control coach. He also led Kinkaid to an SPC title in 2010 and 2011. Hill was named the 2012 Touchdown Club of Houston Sportsmanship Award recipient and that same year was a finalist for the Touchdown Club of Houston Coach of the Year.

The Texans have struggled to run the ball in recent weeks. Composite Getty Image.

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.

Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.

When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.

With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
