THE PRIDE: No. 23 Yates prepared to "Win At Any Cost" in 2025

23 -- YATES LIONS

Yates will be in pursuit of their 20th consecutive playoff appearance this winter, on the heels of going 20-11 and reaching the Regional Quarterfinals a year ago.

That goal should be well within their reach, even though they’re expected to contend with Booker T. Washington, MLCPAYM, and Wheatley for district supremacy on an annual basis.

Fortunately for coach Greg Wise and company, the Lions have the luxury of bringing back four starters from their 2023 roster, beginning with Jordan Andrus (Sr. PF), who’s committed to Rice for football.

He’s joined on the court by Aiden Mohammed (Jr. SF), Calvin Murphy (Sr. G) and Joshua “JD” Wallace (Jr. F).

After being knocked out of the postseason by rival Washington, this season’s mantra will be, “win at any cost”, according to Wise.
