No. 4 -- DAWSON EAGLES
A familiar face now leads the Dawson girls basketball program as Gary Douglas takes over the direction. After two seasons as a varsity assistant, Douglas inherits a team coming off a 34-5 campaign that included an undefeated district title and a trip to the Regional Finals — and he’ll have plenty of talent to keep the momentum going.
Tarleton State-commit Kendall Ford, last year’s District MVP and a McDonald’s Invitational All-Tournament selection, anchors the group once again. Alongside her is Bradley University-commit Journey Lovett, who earned All-District and All-Region honors. The depth doesn’t stop there.
Mia Barre (first-team, all-district) and Aubrianna Howard (second-team) return as reliable contributors, while senior Brooklynn Thomas and newcomer Faith Etienne — the reigning District 16-5A MVP from Ellison — add even more strength to the starting rotation.
For Douglas, success will hinge on the same principles that built Dawson’s recent rise: defensive consistency, rebounding dominance, and durability over along season. The faces may change, but the expectations in Pearland remain sky-high.
