CHECK UP: No. 1 Atascocita is the team to beat in H-Town
Led by coach David Martinez, you know what you are going to get from the Atascocita Eagles – relentless defense and tremendous guard play.
The Eagles fell in the second round of the postseason in 2023 and finished third in the district.
The back-court will be made up of Jerrell Barron Jr. and Jachai Cantave. Barron is committed to Ivy League Brown University.
Jaylen Fenner and Avion Jackson will also provide scoring from the forward position.
Summer Creek and United will challenge in district play, but with Martinez at the helm, Atascocita is the Class 6A Region III favorite.

VYPE Preseason Girl's Basketball: No. 10 Atascocita
Atascocita has been built into a top program in the city. The Eagles have made the Regional Semifinals in two of the last three seasons. Led by coach Veronica Johnson, Atascocita will have some pieces to replace including Texas-signee Elyssa Coleman, who averaged nearly 20 points per game.
The Eagles will be led by a solid junior crew. First-team, all-district pick Blake Matthews returns after averaging 8.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game a year ago.
Also returning are second-team, all-district picks Makaylee Duhon (5.7 ppg, 2.5 rpg) and Kori Fenner (5.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.5 spg). Robin Whitehead will be another player to watch as she heads into her senior year.
