Week 5 is in the books! Merle has another strong week and maintains his lead. Who do we think is winning this week? See our picks below.
Here are Week 6's Picks:
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.

4 — EPISCOPAL KNIGHTS
Episcopal finally did it.
After waiting 36 years, the Knights accomplished their mission and got to raise another SPC Girls Basketball Championship banner on the walls of their home court. EHS avenged a double-digit regular-season loss to Kinkaid in the 2024 SPC-4A Championship game to win the crown – their first title since 1988.
Gone is McDonald’s All-American Me’Arah O’Neal (Florida), the daughter of Shaquille O’Neal. So, who steps up?
All-SPC selection Rylee Poindexter (So. G) returns after earning that designation in her freshman season. Other names to watch include Ivonna Lloyd, Bella Woodcox, Berklee Lyons, Ella Voss, Claire Murray, Chloe Hollis and Kennedy Greene.
Coach Chelsea Bass will have a big senior class to lean on in 2024-25 as the Knights look to go back-to- back.
