EXPERIENCE PAYS: No. 8 Katy Jordan retains all its stars to propel them to postseason
8 -- KATY JORDAN WARRIORS
With 11 seniors returning off of a Regional Semifinal team a year ago, the Jordan Warriors are in position to make history.
“We did the math,” coach Charlie Jones said. “We return 97-percent of our scoring and 95-percent of our minutes played from last year. We are going to take advantage of our experience. I’ve preached to them to take ownership of this team... I’m just trying to stay out of the way.”
Four-year starter Jaden Holt and three-year starter Elijah Black will lead the way for the Warriors along with Rayan Fakika. Jude and Jacob Oluokun will man the paint along with Landon Kjar.
Thesurprise on this year’s team? Look out from freshman Marwane Fadika, who will help out in the back-court.
After losing 39-38 in the playoffs to Bellaire, Jordan is hungry to go further. With the depth and experience, they should.

BATTLE-READY: No. 11 Katy Jordan primed for another playoff run
Coach Charlie Jones and the Jordan Warriors set the bar high for their program.
The Warriors finished second in District19-6A but made a run to the Regional Semis before falling to super-team Beaumont United.
They made school history in year three of the program. Not bad.
Yes, their top scorer graduated but back are scoring guard Jaden Holt, point guard Elijah Black and post Jude Oluokun, who are all just juniors.
With great floor balance and great coaching, Jordan is on the way to being a power program in Hoopston.
