No. 3 — Cypress Springs Panthers
To put Cy Springs’ remarkable consistency into perspective, head coach Taneisha Rogers and company have advanced at least four rounds into the playoffs every year since the 2022-23 season. Last winter was no exception, as the Lady Panthers (24-9) captured their fourth consecutive district title before advancing to the Region II Final, where eventual state champion Lancaster brought their postseason exploits to a close.
All eyes are once again on the sensational Makenzie Jackson. Better known as “The Ansah,” she took the basketball world by storm during her freshman season. Averaging nearly 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals per contest, Jackson parlayed her remarkable debut into District MVP and TABC All-State accolades.
Seniors Daija Barrow and Milan Barnes — both first-team all-district selections — further reinforce the Lady Panthers’ collective firepower. Then there’s sophomore Maddison Madkins, another dynamic weapon at the forefront of Cy Springs’ youth movement alongside fellow sophomore Journei Williams, a second-team all-district pick.
The road through Region II won't get any easier, but if all goes according to plan, the Lady Panthers could punch their first ticket to the UIL State Tournament in 2027.

HIGHER ALTITUDE: Fresh Off a State Final Appearance, No. 4 Barbers Hill Takes Flight in Class 6A

No. 4 — Barbers Hill Eagles
Barriers were shattered a season ago, as Barbers Hill not only made its second consecutive trip to the Final Four but advanced to the UIL State Championship for the first time since its 1996-97 title-winning season.
Though the Lady Eagles fell short of hoisting the trophy, losing to Argyle in the 5A Division II Final, their stellar 37-4 record sets a compelling precedent for what lies ahead as coach Bryan Harris and company make the leap to Class 6A this winter.
The transition should be relatively seamless, with combo guard Brooklynn Roberson still serving as the catalyst for Barbers Hill’s prolific attack. Now a senior, Roberson added District 19-5A MVP, TABC All-State and UIL All-Tournament Team honors to her growing list of accolades.
Joining her is fellow TABC All-State selection Jayci Lackey, a 6-foot-2 senior who committed to Arkansas Tech in October. The duo will have plenty of support from juniors Madyson Ladd and Reese Owens, as well as seniors Bailey Burns and Kaelyn Blanchard.
The mission? “Building Champions.” The mentality? As Harris puts it, “One Fly, We All Fly.”

BREAKING THE BARRIER: No. 5 Dawson Seeks to Turn Regional Consistency Into a Shot at State

No. 5 — Dawson Eagles
Mirroring their achievements from the year prior, Dawson went 35-4 overall en route to the Region III Final in 2026, where eventual state champion Summer Creek cut Dawson’s title hopes short.
Heading into Year 2 of the Gary Douglas era, Dawson will have its chance to respond, beginning with a grueling district slate featuring powerhouses Shadow Creek and Manvel.
Howard-bound senior Faith Etienne paces the frontcourt, looking to capitalize on a phenomenal showing last winter that saw her collect District MVP and TABC All-State accolades.
Junior guard Aubriana Howard, a first-team all-district selection, should continue to thrive on both ends of the floor, while honorable mention Chloe Cortez and senior Leila Vorady are on track for breakout years in more prominent roles.
