In 2018, the Mavericks finished 5-5, their first time to finish at least .500 since the 2013 season. Can Morton Ranch sneak into the playoffs in the tough District 19-6A? Their 2019 campaign begins Friday, August 30th as they host Cy-Lakes.
20 -- KLEIN OAK PANTHERS
It was just two short years ago that Klein Oak (21-10 overall, 11-3 in district) ran to the Regionals Finals in Region II under the direction of coach Josh Irvin.
The Panthers have continued to thrive and won their district last season, before going two rounds deep in the playoffs.
So, now what?
“This year, our strength will be our shooting,” Irvin said. “We are going to have solid guard play, tremendous quickness and the ability to make shots. The key to our success, however, will be how we can defend.”
Brennen Webb and Rakin Ali will be the headliners as the Panthers try to hold off the likes of Tomball Memorial and Klein Forest in district play.

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.
