Aldine ISD BBB Crew: Brandon McArthur, QA – Mitchell Padgett
As the 2024-25 UIL basketball season tipped off, many across Texas knew that the Judson Rockets, hailing from Converse, TX, would be a formidable contender.
After all, the team is fresh off a remarkable five-year streak of reaching the State Tournament from 2017 to 2021, and they’ve continued to prove themselves as a top-tier program.
Entering the new year, Judson has exceeded even the highest of expectations.
The Rockets have been nothing short of dominant, posting an impressive 26-1 record, with a perfect 5-0 mark in District 29-6A play. They began January with two crucial district victories: a nail-biting 43-40 win over fellow contender Cibolo Steele, followed by a commanding 63-27 triumph over San Marcos.
This hot start was on the heels of a successful showing at the M.T. Rice Tournament to cap off December, where they clinched the championship by defeating (who else?) Cibolo Steele, 56-47.
A large part of Judson’s continued success can be credited to Coach Christina Camacho, who boasts 808 career wins and a wealth of experience.
Under her leadership, the Rockets have thrived, thanks in no small part to standout players like Kayla King and Delaney Arredondo.
King, a senior combo-guard committed to the University of Houston, is a perennial candidate for District MVP honors and has earned TABC All-State recognition. Her leadership on and off the court has been invaluable to the team’s success.
Meanwhile, Arredondo, a nationally-recognized point guard in the Class of 2026, continues to make a name for herself. Recently surpassing the 1,000-point milestone for her career, Arredondo has already attracted offers from multiple collegiate programs, including New Mexico State, UTSA, South Alabama, Tarleton, and Abilene Christian. Her rise in the basketball world shows no signs of slowing down.
While much of the attention revolves around King and Arredondo, the Rockets' success is a result of contributions from across the roster. Juniors like Cora Bennett (offers from Cal, UNT, Wichita State, Rice, etc.), as well as seniors such as Korina Garcia, have played vital roles in the team’s depth.
This well-rounded effort has powered Judson to the top of both the local and state rankings, including a No. 1 spot in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) 6A Girls division.
Judson's journey to this point has not been without setbacks.
Last year, the Rockets experienced an early-round exit in the playoffs against Brandeis, a result that left a sour taste for the team. However, the momentum they’ve built this season, combined with their track record of success, suggests that bigger things may be on the horizon.
Judson has reached the State Tournament five times, with their crowning achievement coming in 2019 when they captured the 6A Girls Basketball State Championship with a 49-46 victory over DeSoto.
As they continue to build on this momentum, one question remains: Will this be the season the Rockets claim their second state title?

THE STATUS: VYPE SATX Updated Girls Basketball Rankings to start off 2025; Judson, Pieper surging
10 Jan, 2025
With January now here, teams across the state are diving into the second wave of pivotal district match-ups, all crucial for securing the ever-important playoff seeding. In a season filled with twists and turns, few regions have experienced as much drama as the San Antonio area.
In the race for the top spot, Converse Judson has claimed the lead, both in our rankings and in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) 6A Girls rankings.
After an unfortunate early exit in the Bi-District round last year, the Rockets have come roaring back in 2025. Their incredible 26-1 record speaks volumes about their dominance, and with their eyes set on a deeper playoff run, they’re poised to make a serious impact come February.
Not far behind, Pieper is having a season to remember. The Warriors, currently 19-5, are unbeaten in district play with a perfect 9-0 record. Their 58-52 victory over fellow 26-5A contender SA Wagner (22-3) has solidified their status as one of the area’s top teams, but the rematch this Friday promises to have major implications for the district title.
Elsewhere, teams like Cibolo Steele, SA Churchill, San Marcos, Sotomayor, and Brennan continue to excel in Class 6A, while McCollum (24-3) and SA Sam Houston (23-4) have made a strong debut in our Top-10 rankings.
As we approach the final stretch of district play, let’s break down how the most enticing squads in San Antonio are shaping up.
