BEST IN THE BUSINESS: Cypress Springs has sights on State as VYPE's No. 1
1 — CYPRESS SPRINGS PANTHERS
There is no sugar-coating this: Cypress Springs is a heavy favorite to make it to the Alamodome from H-Town.
The Panthers are led by five-star and No. 20 nationally-ranked prospect Ayla McDowell, who is a two-time District MVP
and All-Region selection.
The South Carolina-commit is the highest-ranked Houston-area prospect for the Class of 2025 in the espnW HoopGurlz rankings.
The next big star rising in the hoop ranks also resides at Cypress Springs in Jemini Mitchell, who is ranked 14th in the espnW Class of 2027 rankings. Mitchell is already a five-star athlete who was the District 16-6A Newcomer of the Year last season.
Other players to watch include Prairie View A&M-commit Margan Allen and first-team, all-district pick Melanie Hodges.
This team went 30-3 a year ago and reached the Regional Semifinals and 11th-year coach Taneisha Rogers is ready for them to make a run to the Dome.

TAKING FLIGHT: No. 11 Cy Falls primed to re-write last year's playoff result
11 -- CYPRESS FALLS EAGLES
The Eagles went 26-5 over the course of their most recent season, and in the process, locked in their third straight district championship.
Their early exit from the playoffs is not indicative of how effective the group can be once they start cooking.
Two starters return for 10th-year head coach Richard Flores, along with a healthy mix of underclassmen who look to play bigger roles.
Senior guard JaVori Washington should continue to be the catalyst for Cy Falls, alongside fellow seniors Hunter Mayers, Brevin Flores and Nash Beard (So. PG).
Coach Flores will be preaching unity and toughness to his guys in 2025, as they prepare to continue on their tradition of maintained excellence.
