All Charged Up is Fulshear
Senior Ogbevire is the alpha for No. 10 Fulshear High
10 — FULSHEAR CHARGERS
Fulshear is going to be a team to reckon with in 2024-25 in Class 6A.
The Chargers return four starters off a team that went 25-8 a year ago, including University of Pennsylvania-commit Ruke Ogbevire. The senior averaged 18 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals per game on the way to a first-team, all-district selection. Ogbevire was also the District co-Offensive Player of the Year and named to the TABC All-Region 3 Team.
Augustana College-commit Sophia Semmler averaged 12 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals per game as a junior. Others to watch include Kinzie Searcy (Henderson State-commit, 7 ppg, 2rpg, 1 apg, 1 spg), Campbell Hill (6 ppg, 3 rpg, 1 apg, 1 spg), Pfeiffer Greene, Tyler Swan and Amariah Cunningham.
Keys to success for second-year coach Justin Jones’ squad include connectivity and defense as they look to “Protect The Team” in 2025.

BLEED PURPLE: No. 4 Fulshear expecting another run to State
Fulshear played in one of the last games of the season in 2023. The Chargers ended up falling just short and finished as the Class 5A State Semifinalist with a record of 33-6.
It will be a new era for Fulshear in the 2023-2024 season as their former head coach took a new job at Atascocita. So, enter Justin Jones to take over the program as he moves over from Klein Collins where he was an assistant.
Jones will have some firepower back as Ruke Ogbevire (Jr. G) returns as the team’s leading scorer after averaging 13 points per game a year ago. A trio of juniors will be ones to watch in Sophia Semmler (5.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg), Campbell Hill (5.8 ppg, 2 rpg) and Kinzy Searcy (5.5 ppg, 1.1 rpg).
Watch for the Chargers again to make another run at the Dome.
