Best of the best: The Chronicle's Houston High School Football Record Book has been updated

Happy Monday!

Sure, it's only February. But let's talk some high school football.

As you may know, I compiled and launched the Chronicle's new Houston High School Football Record Book last summer. It's a visual journey through the greatest passing, rushing and receiving performances the city has ever seen.

And now … it's updated!

The 2025 season brought a lot of change to the record book as players like Randle running back Landen Williams-Callis, Strake Jesuit running back Johnny Hebert and Willis receiver Jermaine Bishop Jr. moved up the career charts.

Take a look at where things stand now.
