@Aocho77 GPHS is a great place to be!!!

We have 2 district champions this year in the Alvarez household. Gracie got 1st in the 2400 10:42 and 1600 7:11, Anthony 1st in the Discuss with throw of 93’8. Great job competing and getting better this track season.

🏈📢🏉📢🏈"REAL TALK" - Here are some estimated benchmarks for D1 football players. If your son doesn’t meet these benchmarks by let’s say SOPHOMORE year or the BEGINNING of his JUNIOR year, the analytics suggest he has LESS THAN A ONE PERCENT chance to play D1 football. Understand, the culture has shifted tremendously. College coaches are under more pressure to WIN NOW with the portal approach! So the pressure to MAKE SURE Little Johnny has what it takes has been dialed up!!!!! This is why I’ve suggested to many when im asked about this, to consider forgoing winter/spring 7v7 tournaments that I see so many going to and instead get with a trainer/track coach now. This isn’t just about scholarships anymore. It’s about CASHING CHECKS! For example, at one prominent university as a “non-starting freshman,” little Johnny has an opportunity to earn $20K. If he’s a “starting freshman”, he can earn $100k at said university. A far cry from when many former D1 scholarship athletes had just $80 left for the month from their scholarship check. This is why, as parents, you must MANAGE EXPECTATIONS for yourself & your son. Make no mistake about it, he must be EXCEPTIONAL to play D1. To keep it in perspective, Division 1- FBS is a step down from the NFL (98.7 % of NFL Draftees come from Division I, FBS + FCS). With that said, ACADEMICS is the truest opportunity. Take your Mom & Dad hat & glasses off, and understand this is not what you perceive it to be. The goal should be a FREE EDUCATION! Period!

Big thank you to our OL/TE parents as well as coach Bo’s wife and my wife @shyan_08 for feeding the guys every week.

GATORS WIN!!!! #CHOMP #EAT

Time sure does fly!!! I came to Galena Park HS 4 yrs ago with this senior class, excited for this football season. Enjoy senior sunrise class of 2026. @GPHS_Athletics @C2number9 @GPHS_GPISD #GoldBlooded #BacktoBack

Shoutout to the HS baseball guys who shut it down for the next several months to strap on the football gear and get after it. You only get a few years to do it. HS football builds character, grit, resilience, discipline, toughness and team first. Scouts love these guys.

Very inspiring and a great dose of medicine right now…

What an absolute stud….gave all the credit to the crew and the kids

Make sure you are signed up for the ACT/SAT….take the test multiple times

@GPHS_Athletics @GPHS_GPISD love the bond The Greatest has brought the coaches closer for sure!! Thank you Mr. Juan Ramirez for allowing us to have coaches outreach! @CoachMo2000 @ronnie_whigham @StevenBotello4 @CoachJonathanJ1 @Coach_Rich32 @C2number9

@SteveInmanUIC If that ain’t Karl Kleinert…..then he is not real

This man will always go down as a Legend.

Immature Athletes: *Work hard when they want *Take everything personally *Don’t respond well to adversity *Know everything *Are too good to do the little things *Blame others (officials, opponent, coaches) and have a victim mentality Mature Athletes: *Are consistent in their effort *Embrace being coached *Care about their teammates *Look in the mirror first *Know their role *See the big picture

Thank you to Deli House in Galena Park for feeding our boys! The breakfast burritos were delicious! @GPHS_GPISD @CityGalenaPark

Great finish for @GPHS_Athletics. The Yellowjackets are 2-0 in district!! Wow! #txhsfb 🏈
