As a junior at Katy Morton Ranch High School, Tamyra Mensah-Stock often declared her ambitions to anyone who cared to listen.

"I have a heart of gold!" Mensah-Stock professed, whether it was to her best friend Nicole Benton, Morton Ranch head wrestling coach Mark Balser, or college coaches recruiting her. "I'm going to make it to the Olympics."

That she had barely been wrestling for a year was irrelevant. The considerable weight of her dream was merely a pesky deterrent.

"But the process of getting there was unbeknownst to me," the 28-year-old Mensah-Stock, Morton Ranch Class of 2011, says now. "But I knew it's what I wanted. I was going to do it any way I could."

THE POWER RANKINGS: Vista Ridge clings to top spot; Glenn surges in Austin-area Girls BB

Merle Bertrand
30 Dec, 2024

Trying to compare records in tournament play can always be a little apples-and-oranges-ish. Which is why Vista Ridge remains atop this week’s ranking despite going “just” 3-2 in Duncanville’s Sandra Meadows Classic. Tough competition there and the Lady Rangers held up well

The big story is Glenn. The Lady Grizzlies climbed two spots, following up last week’s buzzer-beater win over powerful Liberty Hill with a 4-0 championship run in their own tournament. (One of those wins was against now-3rd-ranked Vandegrift.) The aforementioned Lady Panthers won the Austin High Lady Maroons Holiday Classic, which was stacked with ranked teams including runner-up Cedar Park, to slip past Round Rock, who went 2-2 in the Glenn Tourney.
