A NEW ERA: Marshall takes over power program No. 3 Summer Creek

3 — SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS

Former Chaparral HC Kiara Marshall enters her first season directing a Summer Creek team that’s coming off an appearance in the UIL-6A State Tournament.

This marked the third time in five years the program had accomplished said feat and finished the winter with a record of 35-4. As per usual, a relentless defense and threatening fast-break will be strong-suits for the Bulldogs in 2025.

Junior guard Kennedy Simpson is back after receiving a TABC All-Region nod and will provide the veteran leadership needed to make it back to San Antonio. Following the graduation of District MVP Zachara Perkins and Mariyah Brown (first-team), there will be some big shoes to fill in the starting rotation.

However, SCHS should still be in capable hands with second-team, all- district selection Taiya Kikunga (Sr. PF/C), Endia Thomas (Sr. PG) and sophomore guard Addison Martin in the fold.

Gold is the goal for the Bulldogs, and they’ll remain one of the city’s top squads before proven otherwise.
