The stars of 2025-26 Grand Oaks Basketball
No. 5 -- GRAND OAKS GRIZZLIES
Directed by the aptly recognized 13-6A Coach of the Year Anthony Stephens, Grand Oaks (29-9 in 2025) went on to reclaim the district crown en route to the postseason – falling only to eventual state champion Duncanville in the 6A-D1 Regional Semis.
While some may point to the graduation of key seniors — most notably MVP Trae Lewis — as a potential setback, the evidence suggests the Grizzlies are poised to stay firmly in the mix this winter.
Offensively, much of the creativity and pace will stem from junior point guard Trey Pinkard, a High Point University-commit and transfer from TWCA, where he earned first-team, all-state honors in TAPPS-5A. Pinkard’s blend of composure, scoring touch, and court vision should fit seamlessly into Stephens’ system.
Supporting him is a battle-tested cast that includes first-team, all-district senior guard Morgan Luzey, second-teamer Dariyun Cox, and junior forward Ebube Joseph, each capable of providing valuable production on both ends. Senior guard Jonathan Wade adds another layer of leadership to a lineup that’s determined to make another statement.

No. 6 -- SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
In his first year at the helm, head coach Daniel Moore wasted little time making his mark on Summer Creek basketball. The Bulldogs tallied 24 wins, secured a third-place finish in the rugged 23-6A district, and advanced three rounds deep into the postseason — a statement campaign that reasserted SCHS as one of Houston’s premier programs.
At the heart of that resurgence was senior point guard Reggie Rideau, whose poise and two-way command set the tone for the Bulldogs’ identity.
The reigning 23-6A MVP averaged 15 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals per contest — production that speaks to his control of the game’s rhythm as much as his scoring touch. With a growing list of Division I suitors, Rideau enters his final season not just as a standout talent, but as the catalyst for Summer Creek’s continued rise.
A balanced supporting cast — including junior Cameron Martin (all-district honorable mention), senior Patrice Mpouli, and junior Daniel Clark — adds depth and versatility as the Bulldogs look to build on last year’s breakthrough.
