Some of the stars of 2024-25 Friendswood Basketball
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
17 -- FRIENDSWOOD MUSTANGS
Danny Russell has flipped the script inside of Friendswood basketball. Coming over from Katy High two years ago,
Russell is a perfect fit for the Mustangs.
With a brand-new facility and several returners back from a 24-11 team, Friendswood is trending.
The ‘Stangs fell 48-46 in a third-round, heart-breaker to State Semifinalist FB Marshall, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of returning stars Dyllan Baker and Chase Richardson. The pair are back in the stable after combining for 26 points per game.
“We are inviting the high expectations,” Russell said. “Our guard play is really solid, and we can get the ball out of the net and run. We like to play fast and it’s a fun style of ball.”
Ronin Passons, Luke Hinchcliffe and Brady Fiesinger will also be big-time contributors as they look for a district title and beyond.

2024-25 Ridge Point Basketball
Alex Hinson (VYPE)
18 -- RIDGE POINT PANTHERS
Although they were expected to contend in a ridiculously talented district in 2023, the Panthers (23-11) managed to secure a playoff spot before unfortunately being eliminated by perennial power Seven Lakes in the opener.
Regardless of last year’s result, coach Darren Johnson will see to it that his guys learn from their successes and defeats moving forward.
Ridge Point does have the luxury of bringing back the reigning District MVP Dorian Hayes (Sr. F/G), who recently committed to UTSA, and should continue to elevate the entire roster.
Second-teamer Logan Menefee (Sr. PF/C) provides considerable height and athleticism in the paint, while honorable mentions Nick Oliveri (Sr. PG), Jordan Hill (Sr. G) and Jaden Jinks (Jr. PF) provide even more veteran leadership to a threatening RPHS rotation.
