The stars of 2024-25 Dickinson Basketball
21 -- DICKINSON GATORS
Jason Wilson (230-97 in career) enters his 11th season with the Gators, who most recently went 11-1 in District 24-6A to claim the program’s seventh title over the last decade.
As one of the most traditionally successful teams on the south-side of Houston, it’s unlikely that anything stands to change for Dickinson in 2025.
While some of last year’s stars have since graduated – particularly Qasim Boyd (South Alabama) – there are still a handful of key returners for Wilson to utilize.
Point guard David Chong is back for his senior season, after averaging over 14 points a game, while fellow guard Caleb Lopez adds some depth following an impressive freshman debut.
Defense is going to be crucial for the Gators and others will need to step up to fill in some of the gaps. The standard will remain the same as “Gator Pride” rolls on.

2024-25 Kinkaid Girls Basketball
1 — THE KINKAID SCHOOL FALCONS
Kinkaid reached the SPC 4A Championship game in 2024 after not making the playoffs in the year prior. The Falcons fell just short and look to climb to the top of the mountain again in 2025 in order to claim their first SPC crown since 2019.
Stacey Marshall enters her 21st year at the helm of the program and sits 23 coaching wins away from No. 500.
Four starters return for Marshall’s youthful squad. A group of sophomores will lead the way, headlined by All-SPC selections Lauren Hull and Sydney Marshall.
Last year, Marshall – who currently holds offers from SMU, Wisconsin, Princeton, and Columbia – contributed 12.3 points and nine rebounds per game, while Hull (Old Dominon offer) averaged 11.1 points every contest.
Others to watch include Lyllian Walton (8.1 ppg, 3.1 spg, 2.7 apg) and newcomer Ma'Ryiah Alfred, who comes over from Beaumont Westbrook.
Alfred (UNLV, Southern Alabama, SFA, Lamar, ACU offers) brings another level of offensive firepower, as she most recently earned a first-team, all-district nod and District Offensive Player of the Year honors for her impressive stat-line (20.2 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 spg, 2.7 apg).
Another player to keep an eye on is sophomore guard Kamdyn Flora.
Keys to success for Marshall’s team include having pressure defense, transition and pace, chemistry and teamwork.

The stars of 2024-25 Cypress Lakes Girls Basketball
19 - CYPRESS LAKES SPARTANS
Last season, Cypress Lakes marched all the way to the Regional Semifinals for the first time in program history.
The Spartans finished with an impressive 25-11 overall record, and a fifth-round appearance. It was their second-straight season of winning 20-plus games.
The Spartans will have to replace the production of now-Rice Owl and reigning District MVP Aniah Alexis, who averaged 29 points and 12 boards per game a year ago. Her younger sister Makennah Alexis is the next in line.
Makennah is a two-time first-team, all- district pick and was the District’s Newcomer of the Year her freshman year. Last season, Makennah averaged 14.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.1 steals and 2.7 assists per game.
Others to watch include honorable mention, all-district selections Lauryn Jeffries (3.6 ppg, 4.4 rpg) and Maycee Smith (2.3 ppg, 1.9 rpg).
