No. 12 — IOWA COLONY PIONEERS

Iowa Colony, under third-year coach Brandi Justice, has already made some noise. Last year, the Pioneers went an impressive 26-9 overall and 12-0 in district play.

Iowa Colony returns four starters off that team which will seek a third- straight playoff trip in 2025 as they move up to Class 5A. Sophomore Eryn Roberts averaged 12 points and five steals per game as a freshman in 26 games played. Roberts earned District 24-4A Newcomer of the Year. She was also named TABC All-Region and holds one offer from Lamar University.

Junior Payton Watson was named the 26-4A Utility Player of the Year. Others to watch include seniors Aaliiyah Rogers and Kenadie Francis.

The key to success for Justice’s squad is to play “Iowa Colony Basketball” -- trusting each other for 32 minutes.
