2023-24 Ridge Point Basketball
The Panthers had a sub-par season not making the postseason in 2023, but coach Darren Johnson feels like this year’s installment has a chance to flip the script.
It all starts with junior Dorian Hayes, who averaged over 14 points per game last year. He has length and a deft shooting touch. The 6-foot-4 scorer is the son of former Houston Rocket Chuck Hayes.
Kijuan Arnold is a point guard who can score and rebound, and Jaden Jinks can protect the paint. Ayden Mirabi, Sebastian Sanchez and Logan Menefee will also play bigger roles this season.
Andrea Sturdivant & Aminah Dixon of FB Austin GBB
22 -- FORT BEND AUSTIN BULLDOGS
The standard that the FB Austin program has upheld over the past three seasons is nothing short of remarkable.
Most recently, coach LaQueisha Dickerson’s squad cruised to a district title (15-1), before subsequently advancing three rounds deep in the playoffs to end the year 32-3 overall. The only reason we don’t have this team higher in our rankings is the fact that District MVP Shun’teria Anumele (Saint Louis) and first-teamer Crystal Schultz (Prairie View A&M) have since graduated.
However, by no means are we saying the Bulldogs won’t be a formidable force in the city.
The reigning Offensive Player of the Year and TABC All-Region selection Andrea Sturdivant (Sr. PG) is back after scoring well over 500 points and leading the team in assists (194) a year ago.
She will be complemented by the talents of second-team, all-district honoree Pfeiffer Greene (So. G), as well as honorable mentions Aminah Dixon (Sr. G) and Meagan Schultz (So. G). Per the usual, they will have some tough competition to contend with in their district, but Austin should still remain a team worth fearing.
