Patrick Mahomes has added another honor to his already illustrious football resume. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback returned to his home state of Texas on Saturday night, where he was officially inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.
The ceremony, held in Waco, recognized Mahomes for his remarkable senior year at Whitehouse High School in Tyler, Texas. A dual-sport standout, Mahomes led the Wildcats to an undefeated season on the gridiron while dazzling fans with his arm and athleticism.

“I never thought I was going to be an NFL football player,” Mahomes said during his induction speech. “My goal growing up was to win a district championship in Whitehouse, Texas and my senior year, we were able to do that.”
He fondly recalled one of the most memorable plays of that championship run.
“And I still remember the play, the quarterback sweep to the right,” Mahomes said of the game-winning touchdown against John Tyler High School. “Those are the moments I’ll forever remember.”
Mahomes also shared that many of the bonds he formed during that time are still strong to this day. The 29-year-old quarterback remains close friends with many of his high school teammates and continues to maintain roots in the Texas community.
His wife, Brittany Mahomes, was also his high school sweetheart. The couple now shares three children and is deeply involved in charitable and youth initiatives.
In a touching gesture during the ceremony, Mahomes took the opportunity to give back to the next generation of athletes. The Texas Tech alumnus announced a new partnership with Adidas aimed at supporting high school football programs across the country.
He revealed that 15 schools-including his alma mater, Whitehouse-will receive custom jerseys designed in collaboration with Adidas. Brittany Mahomes briefly joined him near the stage to unveil one of the custom designs, showcasing their continued commitment to giving back to their roots.
The crowd in Waco responded with enthusiastic applause to both the jersey initiative and Mahomes‘ heartfelt remarks.

Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket, says will always look back at my Test career with a smile
View Comments Mumbai: Virat Kohli, on Monday, announced that he is retiring from Test cricket, ending a memorable 14-year journey in the format. The 36-year-old shared the news on Instagram, just weeks before India’s five-Test series against England starts on 20 June at Headingley in Leeds. "It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life. There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever, " wrote Kohli. "As I step away from this format, it’s not easy — but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me […]

INDYCAR Power Rankings: Will the Indy 500 jumble this list?
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> There’s no question who leads the INDYCAR power rankings, as Alex Palou has now won four of the first five races thanks to his latest win in the Indy Grand Prix.The harder decision on this list is who to leave off. Josef Newgarden opened the season finishing third at St. Petersburg, but since then, he hasn’t finished better than 10th. So the two-time defending Indianapolis 500 winner has dropped from the list.

Após a derrota para o Palmeiras, o ex-atacante Muller reprovou a campanha do Tricolor, mas não acredita na queda para a segunda divisão.
