Wheatley is coming off yet another impressive endeavor, concluding the year 23-3 and advancing two rounds deep into the postseason.
David Burrell steps into Year No. 6 as head coach, focused on keeping the program on a championship trajectory.
The Wildcats bring back the majority of their core lineup, led by District 20-4A MVP Jamie Solomon (Sr. G), who averaged 24 points per game, along with three assists, three rebounds, and four steals. Solomon also reached the 1,000 career point milestone last season, solidifying her status as one of Wheatley’s all-time scorers.
Joining her is Caria Thomas (Jr. PG), last year’s District Newcomer of the Year and first-team, all-district selection, who posted an equally notable statline (17 ppg, 6 rpg, 6 apg, 6 spg). Key contributors also include first-teamer Symone Johnson (Jr. G) and honorable mention Aniya Simmons (Sr. PF).
For Wheatley, success this season will be measured not just in victories, but in the development of its young leaders, the cohesion of its lineup, and the ability to rise to challenges together.

Something made crystal clear this fall was the sheer abundance of talent powering Houston’s most electrifying programs — compelling us to dish out some well-earned recognition.
The city’s heavy-hitters — Dawson, Cy Ranch, Grand Oaks, Tompkins, Stratford, Friendswood, Seven Lakes, Fulshear, and Ridge Point — delivered as expected, and then some. Yet 2025 also brought its share of welcome surprises, with Tomball, Cy Woods, Clear Lake, Montgomery, and Manvel ascending to new heights and positioning themselves as budding contenders.
With that said, it’s officially time to sing some praises.

Over the past several years, the Memorial Mustangs have solidified themselves as one of Houston’s perennial programs.
In 2025, they finished 22-16 and advanced to the Area Round of the playoffs, marking the seventh consecutive postseason appearance under Jyusef Larry, who enters his 16th year as head coach.
Memorial returns much of its central rotation, led by Princeton-commit Draden Moss. The senior — an All-Region selection and 17-6A Offensive Player of theYear — averaged roughly 17 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals per game, giving the Mustangs a proven weapon on both ends of the floor.
Sophomore Sa’Niyah Paulus, last year’s District Newcomer of the Year, comes back after averaging 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds in her debut campaign.
Furthermore, veterans like Allison Moss (Sr. G), Ivy Oliver (Sr. G) — returning from injury after a sophomore season that produced 9.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game — and Brooke Kearns (Sr. G) provide additional depth and stability.
