DOWN TO THE WIRE: Previewing a critical UIL VB State Semis matchup -- Bellville vs. Davenport
19 Nov, 2024
Let's just get right into it.
On one of the court, you have the Bellville Brahmas who are enjoying one of the most exemplary seasons they've seen in recent years, from a statistical stand-point -- currently touting a record of 43-5.
Coach Susan Brewer's squad is no stranger to this stage, given that they reached this point in 2022, before falling to eventual State Runner-Up Aubrey.
However, the Brahmanettes have displayed nothing less than sheer dominance throughout this postseason, as they have swept each opponent (FB Willowridge, Burnet, Livingston, and most recently Hargrave) up to this point.
In terms of star-power, take your pick between the likes of Bailey Scheerer (Jr. MB), Sydney McKay (High Point-signee), Rebecca Lucksinger (Jr. MB), Emmy Novicke (Sr. L), and Samantha Marik (Sr. OH).
Bellville is the traditional power in this match-up, having made State appearances in three of the last four years. But, they will have the ambition of claiming the program's first state title since 2005, when they were still in Class 3A.
...
However, the new power has unquestionably been that of Davenport.
The reigning UIL-4A Champions picked up right where they left off last year, ranking among the top teams to come out of the San Antonio-area.
Similar to their opponent, the Wolves have been just as commanding entering the State Semis.
They have toppled Eastside EC (3-0), La Vernia (3-0), Calhoun (3-0), and Floresville (3-1) over the course of the past two weeks to make their way back to the Final-Four, improving their record to 39-8 in 2024.
Coach Taylour Toso's rotation has spread the wealth when it comes to overall stats.
In the offensive department, Emily Williams (311 kills) and McKaleigh Mattson (306 kills) run the table.
But if I were to pick an MVP for the team, it would be Alexis Dahl. As it stands, the junior setter has been all over the place, having registered 725 assists, 442 digs, and 267 kills on the year, making her a jack of all trades for Davenport.
Furthermore, Logan Strong (794 digs, 584 receptions), Dakota Hart (339 digs), and freshman Kylie Dahl (259 assists) round out what could be the most balanced crew in the state.
...
There's no room for error at this stage, and fans should be in for a show when these two power-programs face off Tuesday night (6:00 pm) at the Austin Burger Center in Sunset Valley, TX.

2 — SECOND BAPTIST EAGLES
The Eagles rolled all the way to the TAPPS-5A title game in 2024 – marking the eighth appearance in program history – where they ultimately finished as the State Runner-Up with a final record of 29-10.
In H-Town private school girls hoops, SBS is the gold standard, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. John “CH” Herndon enters year seven leading this program (153-51) and returns one starter to the squad.
Herndon will lean on the leadership of first-team, all-state selection Grace Wehring (14 ppg, 4 rpg, 3.4 spg, 2.7 apg), as well as Eloise Tackett (So. G) and Casey Krueger, to keep the tradition alive.
The Eagles will eye a seventh-straight trip to the postseason in 2025, while placing an emphasis on building the younger players up in the process.

3 — THE VILLAGE SCHOOL VIKINGS
The Village School is coming off yet another solid season, in which they went 27-12 overall and rolled to the TAPPS-6A Final Four. The season came to an end in the State Semifinals and fourth-year head coach Jason Cantwell returns two starters off that squad.
Junior guard Shaniya Williams is back after securing a first-team, all-state selection a year ago for her remarkable efforts (17 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.9 spg). She was also selected to the TAPPS 6A All-State Tournament team.
Williams is joined by Cyra Narahari (So. G), who averaged roughly 8 points and 7 rebounds per contest, resulting in a second-team, all-district selection as well as an all-state honorable mention.
Beyond this duo, Cantwell is looking towards a trio of talented freshmen Toni Ademuwagun, Amanda Rossini and Nyla Singleton to step up big for the program this season. Keys to success according to Cantwell include growing on the fly with the freshmen. “The learning curve will be hard with a tough early schedule that will hopefully pay dividends when we open district play in January,” Cantwell said.
