No. 15 — GRAND OAKS GRIZZLIES
Grand Oaks will look to build on their successes from last year – going 20-15 overall and reaching the Area Round – to propel the program to a deep playoff run. Shiakiea Carter enters her sixth year of leading this program.
The engine of this Grand Oaks team is senior Abilene Christian University- commit Bree Riley. Last year, Riley averaged 24.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 steals and 2.7 assists per game for the Grizzlies. She also reached the 2,000-career-point mark as well. Her performance earned her the District MVP nod for a third-straight year and a spot on the TGCA 6A All-State team. Riley was also selected as a TGCA All-Star.
Also returning is first-team, all-district pick Avery Campbell who earned that nod as a freshman. Campbell averaged 4.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.7 assists per game. Other players to watch include second-team, all-district picks Hannah Reynolds (4.9 ppg, 2.9 rpg) and Avery Dalton (2.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg). Harris (2.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg) and K’mylii Nettles (2.9 ppg, 1.5 rpg) are returning honorable mentions.
