Uncle!
After several weeks of resisting the urge to move Stony Point to the top of the rankings, deferring to Westwood’s hard-fought undefeated status, we give in. The relentless wave that is the Tigers’ offensive juggernaut finally crashed over the Warriors’ defensive seawall as Stony Point pulled away for a critical 86-59 win. They’ll clash again at Westwood in a few weeks, but for now, the defending 6A state runners-up have moved to the top of our charts.
Westwood only slips to #2 as they also notched a quality win over #5 Round Rock last week but will have to rebound quickly. Surging #7 Vandegrift comes calling on Tuesday to start a pivotal week in District 25-6A that also sees Stony travelling to Round Rock on Tuesday with the Vipers hosting the Dragons on Friday.
Liberty Hill climbs a spot to remain the area’s top-ranked 5A team despite a couple of head-scratching losses earlier in the year, (although keep an eye on Georgetown as the Eagles now lurk just outside the Top10.) Westlake slips a few spots but remains inside the Top 10 after closer-than-expected wins over unranked district foes. Pflugerville Connally, meanwhile, climbs back into the Rankings after a couple weeks outside the charts.
With lots of great matchups coming up this week, we’d like to say things will start to clear up soon, but we know better. Just enjoy watching it all unfold as much as we will!

Although we may be in the Winter season, the third series of our campus-coordinated media days has already begun.
Recently, our team traveled to Incarnate Word Academy for their exclusive Spring Media Day..
We spoke with the first-year captain for IWA Golf, Ailey-Marie Willis, detailing her journey in the sport, what the Falcons sisterhood means to her, and more.
Check out the interview below!
Addie Buck has been a guiding light for the TWCA Girls Basketball team over the past four seasons.
While wins and losses are part of the game, Buck’s focus is on something far greater.
“The reason I play is for my teammates,” the senior explained. “We have so much fun together—whether it’s grabbing food before games or enjoying the bus rides. I love doing something for them, not just for myself.”
She continued, “The away tournaments are a highlight for me. We get to hang out, bond, and comeback from those weekends feeling so much closer as a team.”

This selfless mindset has made Buck the go-to leader for the Warriors this season.
“Her growth as a player and teammate has been incredibly rewarding to witness as a coach,” said head coach Matt Reese. “She’s such an important part of what we want to accomplish as a team.”
An honorable mention selection last year, Buck is also looking ahead to her next chapter off the court: college.
“I would love to go to Auburn to pursue a hospitality or culinary degree,” she shared. “Or I could see myself at Texas A&M studying business. I’ve got to make a decision in the next few months.”

For now, Buck is fully embracing her final season wearing the green and gold.
Reflecting on her journey, she shared some advice for younger players: “The advice I would give to girls coming into high school is to not overthink everything,” she said. “Sometimes you have to go with the flow and not worry about what others think. Make your own path.”
And she certainly has.
