The stars of 2024-25 Dickinson Girls Basketball
Jamey Wright (VYPE)
18 -- DICKINSON GATORS
From the southside of Houston, the Gators were one of the city’s most formidable teams throughout the 2023-24 regular season.
Having gone 30-4, which included an undefeated (12-0) district championship, it appeared that Dickinson was poised for a lengthy run in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, they ended up suffering a 61-54 heart-breaker at the hands of Alief Taylor in the opening round.
Suffice it to say, coach Toya Peterson and company will be plenty motivated to flip the script this time around.
Peterson will have the luxury of bringing back her two leading scorers, seniors Jazmine Hansley (17.8 ppg, 6 apg, 4.7 spg) and Ciara Williams (17 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.2 spg), who will continue to light up the board.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Scott (Jr. G) and Troi’Sha Frederick (So. G) should expect some more action as they step into larger roles. Another district title could be in the cards for Dickinson, but they’ll have loftier ambitions in mind heading into this winter.

2024-25 Stafford Basketball
Jamey Wright (VYPE)
19 -- STAFFORD SPARTANS
The Spartans return to the court on the heels of their fifth-straight postseason appearance, which saw them advance all
the way to the UIL Class 4A State Semifinals and end up with a 35-7 record.
In the seven years he’s been with the program, head coach David Montano and his staff have turned Stafford into a well-oiled machine that churns out victories on a consistent basis. This campaign should be no different.
Four-year letterman Maxwell Frels (Sr. G) is back to lead the group after averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game which earned him first-team, all-district honors, in addition to being named to the 4A All-Region team.
He’ll be complemented by the likes of second-teamers Roosevelt Hawkins (Jr. G) and D’Marion Ware (Sr. G), as well as senior forward Skyler Holt.
