Chomp... chomp.
The Dickinson Gators knocked off Clear Brook 40-36 to remain in second place in District 24-6A play last week. The two face each other this up coming week as the playoff crystal ball comes in clearer focus.

PEARLAND DAWSON WENT 14-2 IN DISTRICT PLAY A YEAR AGO AND REACHED THE AREA ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.
The Eagles are a perennial playoff program, no doubt about it. Over the past 16 seasons, Dawson has been in the dance, and this fall should be no different. Lauren Leth, who got her 400th career coaching victory in 2024, returns six starters to the squad.
Texas A&M-commit Jenna Thedford will lead the way for the Eagles, after being named the District 22-6A Defensive Player of the Year in 2024.
Additionally, the transfer of former Pearland star, Avery Koonsen (SFA-commit), just further bolsters this already stacked squad. Koonsen, a six-rotation outside hitter, earned first-team, all-district honors along with being GHVCA first-team in her most recent campaign.
Also watch out for a pair of GCU-Beach volleyball commits in Taylor Ranney and Sloane Ranney. The duo, a setter and outside hitter, respectively, both earned first-team, all-district honors.
Other key returners include first-teamer Keaton Points (middle hitter) and second-team selection Julia Wright (middle hitter).
For Leth, keys to success boil down to four words – cohesive, experience, dynamic and defensive.
This group will lean on a senior-laden class and a group that has played together since the seventh grade.
With a solid returning backline and an offense that will move and attack in every position, this team is primed for a deep run.

LOUISE CRITE ENTERS HER SECOND SEASON OF LEADING RIDGE POINT AFTER LEADING THE PANTHERS TO A 36-12 MARK AND A REGIONAL SEMIS APPEARANCE IN 2024.
Crite is three wins away from career coaching victory No. 200 entering this season. Crite returns five starters to the mix including University of Nebraska-commit Jayden Robinson and Iowa State-commit Taylor Johnson. Both were first-team, all-district a year ago.
Other players to watch include Ziya Sista, who was the District 21-6A Newcomer of the Year in 2024, and Piper Marquart, who was second-team, all-district. Reese Brunton will help on defense.
Keys to success for Crite’s team include getting consistent play from her returning starters and getting Ridge Point’s middles involved in the offense. The motto for 2025 – “BELIEVE”.
