Hansely, Williams a dynamic duo for No. 18 Dickinson Gators
18 -- DICKINSON GATORS
From the southside of Houston, the Gators were one of the city’s most formidable teams throughout the 2023-24 regular season.
Having gone 30-4, which included an undefeated (12-0) district championship, it appeared that Dickinson was poised for a lengthy run in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, they ended up suffering a 61-54 heart-breaker at the hands of Alief Taylor in the opening round.
Suffice it to say, coach Toya Peterson and company will be plenty motivated to flip the script this time around.
Peterson will have the luxury of bringing back her two leading scorers, seniors Jazmine Hansley (17.8 ppg, 6 apg, 4.7 spg) and Ciara Williams (17 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.2 spg), who will continue to light up the board.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Scott (Jr. G) and Troi’Sha Frederick (So. G) should expect some more action as they step into larger roles. Another district title could be in the cards for Dickinson, but they’ll have loftier ambitions in mind heading into this winter.

"GATOR PRIDE": The standard remains the same for No. 21 Dickinson
21 -- DICKINSON GATORS
Jason Wilson (230-97 in career) enters his 11th season with the Gators, who most recently went 11-1 in District 24-6A to claim the program’s seventh title over the last decade.
As one of the most traditionally successful teams on the south-side of Houston, it’s unlikely that anything stands to change for Dickinson in 2025.
While some of last year’s stars have since graduated – particularly Qasim Boyd (South Alabama) – there are still a handful of key returners for Wilson to utilize.
Point guard David Chong is back for his senior season, after averaging over 14 points a game, while fellow guard Caleb Lopez adds some depth following an impressive freshman debut.
Defense is going to be crucial for the Gators and others will need to step up to fill in some of the gaps. The standard will remain the same as “Gator Pride” rolls on.
