HOUSTON - It was a big night for Houston-area high schools at the 2019 Houston Sports Awards.
It started with the moment everyone saw across the country to end the 2018 Texas high school football season as North Shore's Hail Mary to win the Class 6A Division I State Championship game in December won the award for Moment of the Year.
North Shore coach Jon Kay, who has guided the Mustangs to two state championships in the past three seasons, was on hand to accept the award.
"An absolute shocker," Kay said. "Obviously, that's coming from a guy that won a state championship on a Hail Mary but this was an absolute shocker for this to happen tonight. Just the whole festivities tonight were amazing and I'm at a loss for words."

Stephen A. Smith presses Stroud on Texans' o-line concerns, Mixon loss
Aug 26, 2025, 1:25 pm
The Houston Texans’ season is right around the corner, with their opener set for a week from Sunday. One of the biggest questions of training camp has been the status of running back Joe Mixon.
Mixon hasn’t taken part in practices, and with the regular season fast approaching, his Week 1 availability always seemed doubtful. On Monday, the Texans provided clarity.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “Texans are not activating running back Joe Mixon by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, making him ineligible to play at least the first four games this season due to an ankle injury. Mixon will be moved to Reserve/Non-Football Injury, which automatically rules him out for at least four games.”
With Mixon sidelined, Houston will turn to Nick Chubb, Damien Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale, rookie Woody Marks, and Jawhar Jordan to carry the load.
All signs point to Chubb taking the starting role in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.
