The stars of 2025-26 Klein High Basketball
No. 24 -- KLEIN BEARKATS
The Bearkats didn’t have to look far for their next head coach. Former Klein Forest assistant Darius Gatson steps in following the retirement of tenured director Glenn Arnold. Collectively, Klein (19-15 in 2025) will have a solid foundation to build upon, thanks in large part to the team’s District 15-6A championship and ensuing playoff berth.
Anchoring the team’s vast array of returning talent is senior guard Jaydon Smith, a 6-foot-4 sharpshooter and the defending 15-6A Co-MVP. Supporting him are fellow seniors Nick Schatz – a first-team, all-district guard – and Jaxon Hernandez, who earned second-team, all-district honors.
Furthermore, senior combo guard Daryus Tasby also joins the roster after transferring from Mayde Creek, where he was a second-team, all-district selection.

The stars of 2025-26 Iowa Colony Basketball
No. 25 -- IOWA COLONY PIONEERS
Entering his second season at the helm, former Pasadena Memorial coach Trent Olivier aims to elevate the Pioneers after a respectable 23-12 campaign.
One of the youngest varsity programs on Houston’s southside, Iowa Colony finished second in District 20-5A last winter but suffered an early playoff exit at the hands of Port Arthur Memorial—an outcome the team is determined to reverse, hoping to recapture the same momentum they felt when advancing five rounds deep the year prior.
IC will field a veteran-heavy rotation, led by point guard Chase Wiley and forward Jaylen Brown, both all-district honorable mentions. Meanwhile, Bryson Baxter (Sr. F) and Jermaine Thomas (Sr. G) are poised for expanded roles, adding depth and versatility.

2025-26 Summer Creek Girls Basketball & Head Coach Kiara Marshall
No. 1 -- SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
Summer Creek etched their names into history last winter, erasing an 18-point deficit in the Class 6A-D1 State Championship to stun Cedar Hill, 52–49, and capture the school’s first-ever state title.
In her debut, head coach Kiara Marshall took the Texas basketball world by storm — leading a fearless, fast-paced team that refused to fold when the chips were down.
Now, with nearly every key piece returning, the Bulldogs have their sights set on something even bigger: a repeat.
It all starts with Kennedy Simpson (Tulane-signee), the reigning State MVP, who scored 21 points in the title game and continues to set the tone on both ends of the floor.

Supporting her is a deep and talented cast that includes Addison Martin (Jr. G), Erin Newsom (Jr. F), Kay’Len Alexander (Jr. F), and Ty’Asia Young (So. G) — all proven winners who know what it takes to climb the mountain.
“What I love about this program is that it’s about the work,” said Coach Marshall. “I know it sounds like coach-speak, but we just focus on ourselves and don’t pay attention to the noise. We’re just trying to get better every day — and our kids are bought into that.”
That no-nonsense approach might sound simple, but it’s the formula that built a champion —and could very well deliver them to a repeat.
