NEW COACH – INSTANT IMPACT.
King's Ridge football saw a nice improvement in 2020, going 3-5 overall, finishing fourth in region play, and making the playoffs for the first time. The three wins are the most since 2016 for the program.
The Tigers were led by Defensive Player of the Year Ethan Joseph. Other 6A-Private, All-Region picks included first-teamers Josh Flynn (ATH), Dean Giacobbe (ILB), and Logan Hewlett (K). Second teamers included Fisher Edwards (RB), Quinton Grimes (OLB), and Noah Smith (OL).
The stars of 2024-25 Tompkins Girls Basketball
The Falcons could be considered a sleeping giant in the Greater Houston Area.
Katy Tompkins returns four starters off a team that went 29-7 overall and 14-2 in 19-6A play. Last season came to an end in the Bi-District round but with the starters back in the huddle for 12th-year coach Tammy Ray (245-103), this team is primed to make a run.
First-team, all-district pick Rihanna DeLeon (UTPB-commit) is a three-point specialist for the Falcons after making 118 a year ago, including draining 15 in a game against Hardin-Jefferson. Other players to watch include Sascha Coughran, Kate Hopkins, Haylie Panter and Kayli Jensen. Staying healthy will be one of the keys to success for the Falcons as they “Play Fast-Be Relentless” this season.

2024-25 Yates Basketball
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.
