Xavier University-commit Isabella Rivera and Emory University-commit Lauren Magid return to the mix this year after earning first-team and second-team, all-district honors, respectively.
Other returners include first-team, all-district pick Alessandra Filis and second-teamers Ava Skow, Sophie Donalson, Sophia Alvarado, and Meaghan Lande.

RED NOTICE: All eyes will be on State-contender, No. 6 Bellaire this Winter
6 -- BELLAIRE CARDINALS
Bruce Glover enters his 23rd season as Bellaire’s coach, which has included 20 consecutive playoff appearances– the most recent of which featured his team going 30-7 and advancing to the Regional Semis.
Star-power will be in ample supply on this year’s roster, beginning with none other than 5-star recruit Shelton Henderson. All eyes are on the Cardinals forward this winter, after committing to Duke.
He won’t be alone on the court, as Glover also brings back Anthony Edwards III (Sr. C), Kohlman Dutton (Sr. PG), Ejypt Gibbs (Sr. G/F), and Jaren Brown (Sr. F).
Given this team’s considerable depth, don’t be surprised if Bellaire has an even more extensive playoff run in the new year.
