Here come the Gators into the postseason
Next up is Pearland in the first round of the postseason. The Gators will lean on junior QB John Solomon as the leads with his legs and arm. A stingy defense will help too.
VYPE's Andy Tolbert was on the scene.
2023-24 Fort Bend Austin Girls Basketball
Fort Bend Austin does bring some firepower back including junior Andrea Sturdivant, who led the team with 15.5 points per game. She also turned in 3.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 4.3 steals per game -- an all-around player.
She will be joined by Shun’teria Anumele (St. Louis-commit) who has moved in and is a star in her own right.
Aminah Dixon, averaged 12.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and four assists per game a year ago. Also watch out for Mannal Yusuf, who enters her senior year,after scoring six points per game last season.
Don’t sleep on Crystal Schultz as another talented scorer.
Camille Torrence & Aniya' Foy of Cinco Ranch Girls Basketball
One of those resides at Cinco Ranch High School in Aniya Foy. The junior led Cinco Ranch to a 24-11 mark and a trip to the playoffs, while averaging a team-leading 18.5 points per game and chipped in 7.4 rebounds, 2.3 steals and two assists per game on top of that.
Camille Torrence returns for her junior year after averaging 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game for the Cougars. Others to watch include Jinhwa Jung, Keeana Hickman and Kinsley Harding.
Some of the stars of 2023-24 Friendswood Girls Basketball
The veteran boys hoops coach came home to his alma mater in 2021 to take over the girls' program and has gone 37-30 in his first two seasons, including the squad going 20-15 a year ago while reaching the Area Round.
Four starters return off that team, making Friendswood a favorite to not only get back into the playoff dance but make a deep run as well.
District 18-5A Offensive Player of the Year Helen Byrd averaged 20 points per game a year ago and was named to the All-Region team.
Volleyball star Nadi’ya Shelby and Claire Radtke were first-team, all-district picks a year ago, while Mabry Venables was a second-teamer.
The keys are defense and controlling the tempo through pressing. The motto for Thompson’s squad will be Defense Wins.
