PEARLAND IS COMING OFF A 40-WIN CAMPAIGN IN 2024 UNDER FIFTH-YEAR COACH JAMIE GILL (143-43; 17TH OVERALL, 473-194).
Gill is in line for career-coaching victory No. 500 this season.The Oilers return three starters off the team that reached the Regional Quarterfinals a year ago.
Leading the crew will be AVCA Phenom watch list selection Aaryn Brown (MB), as well as district first-teamer Britney Solomon (OH), Emma Garza (Vernon College-commit), Emma Dines and Katy Cavanaugh.
Keys to success for Gill’s team will be from the family vibe the girls have created in the offseason and building a culture of trust and carrying that over into season.
Pearland’s team motto for 2025 is clear – “We are not rebuilding-We are reloading”.

THE WOODLANDS IS COMING OFF A 37-WIN SEASON THAT SAW THEM REACH THE REGIONAL FINALS.
Terri Wade enters her 11th season of leading The Woodlands (383-75) and returns five starters from the 2024 squad.
Wade enters this year with 577 career coaching victories to her name.
University of North Florida-commit Sasha Bespaly (Middle Blocker) and Utah State University-commit Ava Claire “AC” Gibs (Libero) will lead the way this year. Both were all-district selections last season.
Also returning is District 13-6A Newcomer of the Year Liz Kath (Middle Blocker), Megan Johnson (Setter), Sophie Mathay (Setter), Sophia Holloway (Middle Blocker), Cate Vickers (Right-Side) and Olivia Hertel (Defensive Specialist).
The Highlanders will try to play with some “TNT” this year, which according to Wade means “Takes No Talent”. Discipline, commitment and communication take no talent and they will be really good at those areas in 2025.
