A NEW ERA: Marshall takes over power program No. 3 Summer Creek
3 — SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
Former Chaparral HC Kiara Marshall enters her first season directing a Summer Creek team that’s coming off an appearance in the UIL-6A State Tournament.
This marked the third time in five years the program had accomplished said feat and finished the winter with a record of 35-4. As per usual, a relentless defense and threatening fast-break will be strong-suits for the Bulldogs in 2025.
Junior guard Kennedy Simpson is back after receiving a TABC All-Region nod and will provide the veteran leadership needed to make it back to San Antonio. Following the graduation of District MVP Zachara Perkins and Mariyah Brown (first-team), there will be some big shoes to fill in the starting rotation.
However, SCHS should still be in capable hands with second-team, all- district selection Taiya Kikunga (Sr. PF/C), Endia Thomas (Sr. PG) and sophomore guard Addison Martin in the fold.
Gold is the goal for the Bulldogs, and they’ll remain one of the city’s top squads before proven otherwise.

YEAR ONE: Moore steps in to direct traditional talent in No. 15 Summer Creek
15 -- SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs went through somewhat of a slump a year ago, as they finished just outside of the playoff picture, marking the first time since 2018 that they were denied entry.
However, it’s improbable that Summer Creek meets a similar fate this campaign with former Weiss head coach Daniel Moore taking the reins of the program.
He’ll lean on the veteran leadership of Demorae Pritchett and Chazz Duboisto propel SCHS to the playoffs. Pritchett is a 6-foot-5 guard who earned second-team, all-district honors last winter,while senior forward Dubois received an honorable mention.
In the midst of a culture-change and an altered district in the realignment, expect Summer Creek to remind audiences what they’re capable of.
