South Grand Prairie Warriors
Head Coach: Brion Raven
District 8-6A
South Grand Prairie advanced all the way to the final game of the 2024 season.
The Warriors defeated Summer Creek out of Houston to advance to the Class 6A Championship game. There, South Grand Prairie fell short to fellow Dallas-area team Duncanville.
The Warriors finished 33-4 and brings back District MVP and TABC All-State selection Taylor Barnes off that squad.
With so few familiar faces returning to the huddle, coach Brion Raven (179-39) says a major key to their success in 2025 is the new players to varsity adapting to the speed of the game.

Waxahachie Indians
Head Coach: Corey Johnson
District 11-6A
Waxahachie is coming into the 2024-25 season seeking a deep run in the playoffs after reaching the third round a year ago. The Indians posted a 23-12 overall record and went 12-2 in district play to be crowned district co-champions.
Corey Johnson enters his third season of leading Waxahachie and returns two starters to the huddle.
A pair of 2026 guards will headline the Indians this year as Tray Nunn (11.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.7 apg) and Michael Gatewood (7.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.9 apg) will be the leaders on the court in 24-25. Nunn was a first-team, all-district pick a year ago, while Gatewood earned District Newcomer of the Year honors. Also, watch out for 2027 guard Jonathan Bradley to play a key role.
Keys to success for Johnson’s squad include playing with tempo and a defensive intensity.
