The stars of 2025-26 Klein Collins Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 10 Klein Collins Tigers
No. 10 -- KLEIN COLLINS TIGERS
Klein Collins approaches this winter fresh off a 26-win campaign that saw them reach the second round of the playoffs.
Directed by ninth-year coach Tatiana Lee – who is 20 wins shy of her 200th career victory – the program aims to maintain its competitive momentum.
The Tigers retain three starters, led by District 15-6A MVP A’Niyah Harmon. The standout guard averaged 16.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 2.7 assists per game last season and earned TABC All-Region honors, and is likely to repeat that effort en route to a college commitment in the near future.
Joining her is Hailey Neal (first-team, all-district), who averaged 13.3 points and 5 rebounds per game, while Marvinisha Norman, Alana Fontenot, and Ma’Ryann Jacobs round out a balanced roster.
For Lee, putting the pieces together this season means embracing “W.I.T. (Whatever It Takes) – playing with relentless energy, applying disciplined defensive pressure, executing a sharp transition offense, and staying mentally tough.”
2025-26 La Porte Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 11 La Porte Bulldogs
No. 11 -- LA PORTE BULLDOGS
Riding the high of a 28-11 season, a district title, and a lengthy playoff run that reached the Regional Semifinals, the Lady Bulldogs are set to make their mark in 5A once again.
With 15th-year coach Elisha Thompson back at the helm, the program flexes a wealth of experience to lead the charge.
At the forefront is senior Jakayla Glover, a TABC All-Region selection and first-team, all-district honoree. She’s joined by fellow first-teamer Sophia Rodriguez (Sr. G), along with second-team selection, Kaia Greenawalt (Jr. F). Furthermore, there will be plenty of input from the likes of Celeste Cruz (Sr. G), Skylynn Keever (Sr. F), and sophomore Isabella Rodriguez (So. G).
Though District 20-5A remains highly competitive — particularly with Iowa Colony and Friendswood — La Porte has the experience, talent, and coaching stability to contend at the top.
