WESTLAKE CHAPARRALS
Perfection is the only way to describe Westlake’s 2026 run, a fitting description for a team that enters San Antonio with a spotless 40–0 record. It’s been more than two decades since the Chaps last advanced to the State Tournament, a milestone secured on the heels of a 61–38 rout of Judson in the Region IV Final last week. Add Tuesday’s 51–50 nail-biter against Shadow Creek, and head coach Vickie Benson’s squad now makes its first appearance in the UIL title game since winning its third championship in 1996.
When it comes to firepower, center Tamia King has been virtually unguardable all season. The Houston-bound senior stands 6-foot-1 and combines an exceptional finishing ability with rebounding tenacity and distribution skills, making King the ultimate weapon for the Chaparrals. Last year’s District 26-6A Offensive MVP, junior guard Molly Frazer, and junior forward Wynn Thorne — both team captains alongside King — force opposing defenses to pick their poison rather than focusing solely on No. 15.

LANCASTER TIGERS
Riding the momentum of a 12-game winning streak, Lancaster (32–5) secured back-to-back trips to the State Final Four — the second in program history — following last Friday’s 71–62 victory over Cypress Springs. Head coach LaJeanna Howard then watched her squad build on that historic run by punching the team’s first-ever ticket to the Alamodome with a 51–39 win over Braswell.
Anchoring the Tigers’ effort are senior guard Journee Hampton and juniors Arianna Davis, MaKenzie White, and Ava Womack. With history within reach, Lancaster now turns its attention to the final four quarters.

SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
One of the most distinct brands in Texas high school girls hoops, Summer Creek (34–4) followed up its thrilling 45–40 victory against Dawson in last week’s Region III Final with a commanding 60–48 triumph over Brennan on Tuesday night. Fast forward to Saturday’s matchup with Flower Mound, and the Lady Bulldogs are just four quarters away from securing an elusive repeat, while also marking the program’s fifth overall appearance in the UIL State Tournament since 2019.
Summer Creek hasn’t flaunted its prowess or shown any signs of cockiness during the team’s 6A Division I title defense. Simply put, the unit is self-assured that it belongs at the Alamodome, focused on the work and grit that got them there — exactly as head coach Kiara Marshall envisioned.
Reigning State MVP and recent McDonald’s All-American nominee Kennedy Simpson continues to be the engine for SCHS, as the Tulane-bound senior aims to cap her illustrious career with another ring.
If Simpson is the engine, then Addison Martin is the nitrous. Still a junior, Martin has proven to be more than just a scoring threat, consistently creating one-on-one pressure that leads to turnovers and fastbreak points. Fellow juniors Kay’Len Alexander and Erin Newsom provide size and composure, while sophomore Tyasia Young serves as a strong complement to the starting rotation.

FLOWER MOUND JAGUARS
Just when doubters are quick to count them out, the Sherika Nelson–led Jaguars continue to defy the odds. That resilience was on full display in the Region I Final last Friday, when Flower Mound toppled North Crowley 47–39 to secure the team’s first trip to the State Final Four since 2015 (second overall). The Jags then went a step further by defeating last year’s 6A Division I runner-up Cedar Hill 57–45, improving to 29–8 and cementing the program’s debut in the UIL title game.
It goes without saying that none of this could have been possible without the mastery of junior Maci Pringle. Consecutive District 5-6A MVP honors seem all but certain for the versatile guard, who is closing in on a monstrous 800-point campaign. She isn’t alone on the floor, of course. Junior guard Brooklyn Gray provides exceptional long-range shooting, while junior forward Lorelei Ebert adds a commanding presence in the post.

BARBERS HILL EAGLES
Evoking shades of the program’s glory days, Barbers Hill made its second straight trip to the UIL State Tournament on Tuesday, outlasting Cedar Park 34–31. In doing so, the Lady Eagles improved to 37–3 on the year and, more importantly, advanced to the title game for the first time since their championship run in 1997. Seventh-year head coach Bryan Harris and company now set their sights on bringing home state banner No. 4 for The Hill, imbued with their “Chasing Greatness” mantra.
Standout Brooklynn Roberson (Jr. PG) remains the catalyst for the Eagles, orchestrating the offense while doubling as perhaps the squad’s most gifted shooter. Fellow team captains Jayci Lackey (Jr. G) and MacKenzie Thornhill (Sr. SF) provide both infectious composure and a scoring touch, alongside senior small forward Autumn Lecompte.
The will to win is already ingrained in Barbers Hill’s DNA. Now, all that’s left is execution.

ARGYLE EAGLES
From one traditional Texas superpower to another, Argyle (33–5) has reached the State Final Four an impressive 11 times dating back to 2006. The latest run began with a decisive 52–41 victory over Frisco Memorial earlier this week, giving head coach Chance Westmoreland and the Eagles a chance to claim the program’s seventh title — and first since 2019, when Argyle won five consecutive championships in Class 4A.
An unselfish approach to the offense has produced a roster full of players capable of delivering when the stakes are highest. Still, juniors Emma King and Wrigley Green have provided the most consistent scoring punch throughout the winter, with Kensley Vest (Jr. G), Landry Murphy (Jr. F), and senior Blair Mosley rounding out an exceptionally balanced rotation.
