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.

THE DOGHOUSE: Sturdivant key to No. 22 FB Austin's success
22 -- FORT BEND AUSTIN BULLDOGS
The standard that the FB Austin program has upheld over the past three seasons is nothing short of remarkable.
Most recently, the Bulldogs cruised to a district title (15-1), before subsequently advancing three rounds deep in the playoffs to end the year 32-3 overall. The only reason we don’t have this team higher in our rankings is the fact that District MVP Shun’teria Anumele (Saint Louis) and first-teamer Crystal Schultz (Prairie View A&M) have since graduated.
However, by no means are we saying the Bulldogs won’t be a formidable force in the city as new coach Jasmine Hartman takes over the program.
The reigning Offensive Player of the Year and TABC All-Region selection Andrea Sturdivant (Sr. PG) is back after scoring well over 500 points and leading the team in assists (194) a year ago.
She will be complemented by the talents of second-team, all-district honoree Pfeiffer Greene (So. G), as well as honorable mentions Aminah Dixon (Sr. G) and Meagan Schultz (So. G). Per the usual, they will have some tough competition to contend with in their district, but Austin should still remain a team worth fearing.
