VYPE Preseason Girl's Basketball: No. 13 Spring presented by Athlete Training + Health

Spring Girls Basketball

By Bradley Collier

Spring enters the 2020-2021 season seeking its fifth-straight playoff appearance and hope to improve on their Area-round exit a year ago from the playoffs. Spring will be led by first-year head coach Bryan Cannamore and he has a nice roster coming back.


Coming back from a squad that went 11-3 in district a year ago include District 16-6A Defensive MVP Kierra Merchant. She did that as a freshman. Merchant averaged 15.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. She also chipped in 3.7 steals and 2.5 assists per game for the Lions.

Also back are second-team, all-district picks Kyndal Ayro and Brandi Dunn. The duo averaged 7.7, points and 7.5 points per game, respectively. Ayro also chipped in 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, while Dunn had 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game to add to her line. Watch for Rikeyah Gant on the court as her role has expanded.

Whataburger Team of the Week: La Porte captures statement win over Kingwood; now gears up for PNG

Matthew Ogle
09 Sep, 2025

Two games into the 2025 season, La Porte is already proving it belongs in the conversation among the state’s most competitive programs.

The Bulldogs improved to 2-0 with a 34-28 win over Kingwood last Friday — a victory that speaks volumes. Not only did they knock off a Class 6A opponent, but they did so against a team that made it all the way to the Region III Final a year ago.

THE YOUTH MOVEMENT: The "Fab Four" Freshmen at John Cooper School

Matt Malatesta
09 Sep, 2025

The John Cooper School volleyball program is experiencing a resurgence this fall under the guidance of first-year head coach Rachel Stallman.

With a fresh voice on the sidelines and renewed energy in the gym, the Dragons are quickly becoming a team to watch in the private school ranks. A major reason for the turnaround has been the immediate impact of the “Fab Four” freshmen — Riley Gottsman, Reagan Cooksen, Allanah Maimone, and Dylan Wilson. Despite their youth, the group has shown poise, skill, and confidence well beyond their years, giving Stallman a versatile core to build around for the future. Each has carved out a role on the floor, and together they’ve sparked a new level of competitiveness within the program.
