The stars of 2024-25 The Village Girls Basketball
3 — THE VILLAGE SCHOOL VIKINGS
The Village School is coming off yet another solid season, in which they went 27-12 overall and rolled to the TAPPS-6A Final Four. The season came to an end in the State Semifinals and fourth-year head coach Jason Cantwell returns two starters off that squad.
Junior guard Shaniya Williams is back after securing a first-team, all-state selection a year ago for her remarkable efforts (17 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.9 spg). She was also selected to the TAPPS 6A All-State Tournament team.
Williams is joined by Cyra Narahari (So. G), who averaged roughly 8 points and 7 rebounds per contest, resulting in a second-team, all-district selection as well as an all-state honorable mention.
Beyond this duo, Cantwell is looking towards a trio of talented freshmen Toni Ademuwagun, Amanda Rossini and Nyla Singleton to step up big for the program this season. Keys to success according to Cantwell include growing on the fly with the freshmen. “The learning curve will be hard with a tough early schedule that will hopefully pay dividends when we open district play in January,” Cantwell said.

Over the course of this past week, numerous state champions were ultimately decided in the first edition of the UIL Fall tournaments.
...
At the Josh Davis Natatorium in San Antonio, two Houston heavyweights in Brazoswood (26-2) and Foster (30-0) advanced to the 6A Girls Finals, on the heels of defeating Southlake Carroll (Score: 14-8) and Boerne-Champion (Score: 23-4), respectively.
Both faced off this past Saturday, in what was a hard-fought battle that was ultimately decided by an 11-9 overtime victory for Brazoswood.
This marked the first state title for the Buccaneers, who denied the back-to-back champs Foster the opportunity to secure a three-peat.
In terms of accolades, Brazoswood's Mallory Kesler (Sr.) was named the State MVP, with Kinley Niles (Foster), Gigi Lower (Brazoswood), Cassidy Jacks (Foster), Hope Kadlecik (Brazoswood), Cayden VanDyne (Boerne-Champion), and Sydney Rubin (Southlake Carroll) being named to the 2024 All-Tournament team.
On the boys' side, Clear Creek (30-0-1) defeated perennial state contender Foster, by the score of 19-12, while Marcus (22-0) toppled Boerne-Champion (Score: 22-16) in order to move on to the State Final.
By the end of regulation, it would be the Clear Creek Wildcats who dethroned the 2023 state champions Marcus Marauders, in a definitive 14-10 triumph on Saturday afternoon.
Clear Creek senior Jamie De Zwart was named State MVP, while the All-Tournament team included Owen Kroh (Marcus), Ethan Jerla (Clear Creek), Landon Heuer (Marcus), Caden Digby (Clear Creek), Bexon Harrison (Boerne-Champion), and Foster's Ethan Molina.
Regardless of the result, all sides should feel pride in the dominance they've shown since the sport was finally recognized by the UIL in 2021.
...
Meanwhile, at the Baylor University Tennis Center, there was a slew of teams competing for gold this past Thursday.
In the Class 4A bracket, the two squads who climbed all the way to the top were Canyon Randall (33-1) and Willis Point (21-3).
When all was said and done, however, it was Randall who took the title home after winning 10-4, to reclaim their 2022 championship-status.
Abilene Wylie (23-5) and Frisco Centennial (19-2) went head-to-head, representing the 5A classification, with the Centennial Titans emerging victorious (Score: 10-2), marking their second-straight title acquisition.
Last, but not least, in Thursday's proceedings, the UIL-6A Final came down between Round Rock Westwood (19-0) and Seven Lakes (17-3-1).
Despite a valiant effort by Seven Lakes, the, now, back-to-back-to-back State Champs Westwood Warriors were simply too much to handle, having won it all by the score of 10-3, also marking the fifth time in seven years that the program has done so.
