ALMETA CRAWFORD CHARGERS
In just the program’s third season since the school opened its doors in 2023, head coach Chris Iles has guided Almeta Crawford Hoops to the promised land. After an 82-44 blowout victory over Brazosport earlier this week—which extended the team’s record to 31-6 on a 22-game winning streak—the Chargers make their pivotal debut at the Alamodome, seizing the chance to claim the Fort Bend ISD school’s first UIL title before moving up to Class 5A next semester.
Crawford boasts one of the most athletically gifted starting rotations in Texas, and nowhere is that more evident than in dual-sport phenom Alvin Mosley. The District MVP in both basketball and football is a highlight reel waiting to happen, leading the team in scoring with just under 14 points per game, along with four rebounds and three steals during his junior campaign.
Balance, however, is the name of the game for the Chargers. Senior guard Jaylen Singleton (13 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg) has been outstanding, while junior Lakeevis Hunt and sophomores Kevin Green and Dylon Younger round out a squad primed to make history.

KIMBALL KNIGHTS
Shifting from a new face in the arena to a familiar one, Kimball (22-11) makes its return to San Antonio this March. The Knights enter Friday with the ambition of claiming back-to-back state championships in the 4A Division I bracket—a victory that would astonishingly cement the program’s ninth title across 16 Final Four appearances.
Powering head coach Nicke Smith’s quest for a repeat is senior Kayden Gray, an exceptionally versatile combo guard who serves not only as the team’s captain but also as its most potent scoring threat. Standing 6-foot-7, senior power forward Elijah Yarbrough combines length and physicality in the paint, a trait shared by fellow seniors Jaylin Hancock and Kaeden Oliver. Point guard David Coe is also poised to make his presence felt in Kimball’s upcoming clash with Crawford.

ORANGEFIELD BOBCATS
Traveling from near the Louisiana border in Southeast Texas, Orangefield’s path to the State Final has been nothing short of remarkable. Making their program debut in the UIL championship, head coach Bryan Whitmire and the Bobcats arrive riding the momentum of a 26-game winning streak. Most recently, they outlasted CC London in a 60-57 thriller to improve to 35-3 on the year.
Though this feat has unquestionably been accomplished through a team effort, it’s difficult to deny the comprehensive impact seniors Jaden Scales and Carson Willis have had throughout the winter. At guard, Scales is averaging roughly 21 points, four assists, and two rebounds per game, while Willis is contributing 17 points and six rebounds a night from the post. Factor in the consistent production of junior Rylan Agerton, sophomore Kyran Morrow, and junior Elijah Jones, and it makes complete sense that this Orangefield team is on the precipice of etching its name into the history books.

DALLAS MADISON TROJANS
Summary
While this is a new setting for Orangefield, the Alamodome has seemingly become a home away from home for the “Great” James Madison High. Under head coach Gerald Smith, the Trojans are making their 12th appearance in the title game (13th trip to the Final Four), and their first since the team’s championship run in 2022. On the heels of Tuesday’s 78-71 victory over Brownfield, Madison (25-12) now eyes the chance to secure state banner No. 6 — which would add another impressive chapter to one of the most preeminent programs of the 21st century.
Leading the charge for the Dallas ISD landmark is shooting guard Josiah “Juice” Cobb. Still a junior, the 6-foot-1 Cobb is a constant threat to score 20 or more points on any given night, complementing the steady contributions of seniors Eddie Moss, Darius Hooks, and Jamirion Rice.
