2024-25 Klein Oak Girls Basketball
21 -- KLEIN OAK PANTHERS
The Panthers of Klein Oak are fresh off a Regional Quarterfinals appearance and return three starters off the team that went 29-8 overall and 11-3 in district play.
Michael Prejean enters year five leading this program (75-51) and is 20 wins from his 200th career coaching victory.
First-team, all-district selections in junior Kiana Vega and sophomore Maci Mote return to the huddle for Klein Oak. Other players to watch include Sophia Mireles, Kaelyn Emery, Ava Murphy and Clarah Obenofunde.
Keys to their success will be a combo of outstanding guard play, solid inside play and getting some key bench play from newcomers up from the JV squad.
As Klein Oak enters this season, they will focus on what is N.E.X.T – New Era of Expectations and Toughness.

2024-25 South Houston Baskteball
25 -- SOUTH HOUSTON TROJANS
After securing their second-straight district title, the Trojans proceeded to make a brief playoff appearance to end the year with an impressive record of 27-8.
Granted, a deeper postseason run would be preferred, which might just be the case for coach Frank Watson and company this time around.
The reigning District 22-6A Offensive MVP Jordan Buckner (Sr. G) is back to lead South Houston’s scoring front, after averaging nearly 17 points a game a year ago. Additionally, 6-foot-5 sophomore forward Xavier Muhammad will be a vital piece in the team’s effort to make a three-peat.
Given that there will be seven players who haven’t had any prior varsity experience, Watson stressed that it will be “important for us to get chemistry early, play consistently to our strengths and approach each game with enthusiasm.”

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.
