STORM WARNING: Here come the No. 2 Hightower Hurricanes
2 — HIGHTOWER HURRICANES
The Hurricanes are coming off a Regional Finals appearance in 2024 and look to build on that to try and propel the program to a State appearance.
Fort Bend Hightower went 31-4 a year ago and fifth-year coach Jasmine Brewer returns three starters off that squad.
TABC All-Region selection and Loyola University-commit Chandler Preston-Caver (10.7 ppg), Newcomer of the Year Ogechi Okeke (10 ppg, 7 rpg), and second-team, all-district pick Kailee Beaudion-Foliaki (7.1 ppg, 3.1 rpg) – a Northeastern University-commit – are set to return.
Keys to success for the Hurricanes include mental toughness, locking-in defensively and playing with discipline.

Well-balanced play makes No. 17 Memorial a tough opponent
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.”
