South Grand Prairie Warriors

Head Coach: Brion Raven

District 8-6A

South Grand Prairie advanced all the way to the final game of the 2024 season.

The Warriors defeated Summer Creek out of Houston to advance to the Class 6A Championship game. There, South Grand Prairie fell short to fellow Dallas-area team Duncanville.

The Warriors finished 33-4 and brings back District MVP and TABC All-State selection Taylor Barnes off that squad.

With so few familiar faces returning to the huddle, coach Brion Raven (179-39) says a major key to their success in 2025 is the new players to varsity adapting to the speed of the game.
