City of Houston Celebrates NJCP Coach James Moore for Bringing Scholarship Opportunities to Local Athletes

Houston, Texas / CRWE Press Release / February 10, 2026 — The City of Houston proudly recognizes Coach James Moore, Head Coach of the NJCP junior college prep football team, the Clutch City Eagles, for launching a community tryout designed to give local athletes a pathway to college scholarships and life‑changing opportunities.

Coach Moore, a proud graduate of Elkins High School, Class of 2003, grew up in the heart of Missouri City and Fort Bend County. Now, after years of coaching and mentoring young athletes, he is returning to the community that raised him—this time with a mission to open doors for the next generation.

The upcoming NJCP Clutch City Eagles tryout will offer Houston‑area athletes the chance to earn scholarships to play college football, gain national exposure, and receive mentorship from experienced coaches dedicated to their long‑term success.

“This community shaped me,” said Coach Moore. “I walked these same streets, went to these same schools, and had coaches and mentors who believed in me. Now it’s my turn to give that back. Football is the tool—but the real goal is to teach these young men how to be leaders, how to serve their communities, and how to build a future they can be proud of.”

The NJCP program focuses on more than athletic development. Players receive support in academics, leadership training, personal growth, and community engagement. The Clutch City Eagles are committed to ensuring that every athlete leaves the program better prepared for life—on and off the field.

City officials applaud Coach Moore’s dedication to empowering Houston’s youth and strengthening the community through mentorship, discipline, and opportunity.

The tryout is open to athletes across the Greater Houston area on February 21st. Registration details will be on NJCP’s official platforms and through local community partners.
