Ivy Oliver of Memorial
No. 17 — MEMORIAL MUSTANGS
The Mustangs are not far removed from reaching the Regional Semifinals in 2023. Memorial went 24-13 overall a year ago and brought home the District 17-6A crown for a third-straight season. Last year, the playoff road ended in the Area Round.
Fifteenth-year coach Jyusef Larry has an experienced squad coming back for 2024-25 with four starters back in the huddle. Key returners include first-team, all-district selections Draden Moss, Ivy Oliver and Lindsey Vlasak, second-teamer Helen Rieke and honorable mention, all-district picks Brooke Kearns and Emily Clanton.
The motto for the Mustangs this year is #AIAOAS – All In, All Out, All Season.”

Some of the stars of 2024-25 Friendswood Basketball

17 -- FRIENDSWOOD MUSTANGS
Danny Russell has flipped the script inside of Friendswood basketball. Coming over from Katy High two years ago,
Russell is a perfect fit for the Mustangs.
With a brand-new facility and several returners back from a 24-11 team, Friendswood is trending.
The ‘Stangs fell 48-46 in a third-round, heart-breaker to State Semifinalist FB Marshall, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of returning stars Dyllan Baker and Chase Richardson. The pair are back in the stable after combining for 26 points per game.
“We are inviting the high expectations,” Russell said. “Our guard play is really solid, and we can get the ball out of the net and run. We like to play fast and it’s a fun style of ball.”
Ronin Passons, Luke Hinchcliffe and Brady Fiesinger will also be big-time contributors as they look for a district title and beyond.

2024-25 Ridge Point Basketball
Alex Hinson (VYPE)
18 -- RIDGE POINT PANTHERS
Although they were expected to contend in a ridiculously talented district in 2023, the Panthers (23-11) managed to secure a playoff spot before unfortunately being eliminated by perennial power Seven Lakes in the opener.
Regardless of last year’s result, coach Darren Johnson will see to it that his guys learn from their successes and defeats moving forward.
Ridge Point does have the luxury of bringing back the reigning District MVP Dorian Hayes (Sr. F/G), who recently committed to UTSA, and should continue to elevate the entire roster.
Second-teamer Logan Menefee (Sr. PF/C) provides considerable height and athleticism in the paint, while honorable mentions Nick Oliveri (Sr. PG), Jordan Hill (Sr. G) and Jaden Jinks (Jr. PF) provide even more veteran leadership to a threatening RPHS rotation.
