Randle High School Unveils 5,300-Pound Monument Honoring 2024 State Championship Team in Lamar CISD
For students walking the halls of Dr. Thomas E. Randle High School, the 2024 UIL State Championship season is no longer just a memory — it is now carved in stone.
On February 26, 2026, Randle High School in Richmond unveiled a 5,300-pound monument honoring its 2024 State Championship team, creating a permanent tribute to one of the most historic seasons in Lamar Consolidated Independent School District history. For families across Richmond, Rosenberg, and greater Fort Bend County, the monument represents more than a title — it reflects the standard of excellence that continues to shape the campus and the broader Lamar CISD community.
In a fast-growing district where new neighborhoods, schools, and families continue to arrive each year, moments like this help define identity. The monument ensures that future generations of Randle Lions will understand what was built here — and what they are capable of achieving.
A Historic 2024 UIL State Championship Season
Randle’s 2024 title was not simply a playoff run — it was a statement season.
Etched into the newly unveiled monument is the official designation: 2024 UIL State Champions – 5A Division II, alongside a flawless 16–0 record. The Lions completed the season undefeated, navigating one of the most competitive classifications in Texas high school football and finishing their championship journey without a single loss.
In Texas, where the University Interscholastic League (UIL) governs one of the most demanding high school athletic systems in the country, advancing through the postseason requires winning multiple rounds against elite programs from across the state. Each week intensifies — and each victory narrows the field. For Randle High School, a campus that opened in 2020, reaching the summit so quickly marked a defining chapter in its young history.

The monument itself captures the magnitude of the achievement. Designed in the shape of Texas, it lists every player from the championship roster, permanently honoring the young men who delivered the undefeated season. It also recognizes Head Coach Brian Randle and the coaching staff whose leadership guided the team through the historic run, as well as district leadership including Superintendent Dr. Roosevelt Nivens and campus administrators who helped build the foundation for the program’s success.
For families across Richmond and Rosenberg, the 16–0 record represents more than statistics. It reflects months of early practices, packed Friday night stadiums, long playoff drives, and a community that rallied behind its team week after week.
The monument ensures that when future Lions pause to read the engraved names, they will see more than a championship year — they will see the standard that was set in 2024.
A Monument Built by Community Support
Now permanently installed on campus, the 5,300-pound monument stands as a daily reminder of that achievement. Students pass it on their way to class. Families see it during games and events. Younger athletes from Lamar CISD feeder schools will grow up knowing that a state championship was won here.
The tribute was made possible through the generosity of community sponsors whose names are engraved on the monument itself: Dr. Thomas E. and Mrs. Rubye Randle, Johnson Development, Derrick & Caleb Bratcher, Legacy Ford of Rosenberg, Aji Izakaya Restaurant, the Family of Cameron Hypolite, Prasla’s, the RHS Football Booster Club, Davy Vestal Memorials, and SCR Civil Construction, LLC.
Their support transformed a championship moment into a lasting landmark — one that connects local businesses, families, and supporters directly to Randle’s legacy. It is a visible example of how Richmond and Rosenberg stakeholders continue investing in Lamar CISD students, both on and off the field.
