SPC-4A Girls Basketball Championship Preview: Kinkaid vs. Greenhill
Following an interesting set of events throughout this week, the girls basketball sector of the SPC Winter Championships finally reaches its culmination.
The heavy favorite heading into the finale is The Kinkaid School, which has dominated its way to this point. The Falcons (28-10) first delivered a stunning 82-6 victory over Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart, followed by an impressive 83-55 win over 2022-23 champions Houston Christian.
Kinkaid’s journey to the championship has been a tough one, as coach Stacey Marshall ensured her team faced some of the best public schools in Texas, including Boswell, Duncanville, Brennan, Fredericksburg, Hightower, and Summer Creek.
Despite their relative youth, Kinkaid has excelled on the court.
The Falcons’ offensive attack is led by a talented group of sophomores: Ma’Ryiah Alfred, Sydney Marshall, Lauren Hull, and Kamdyn Flora, all of whom have been pivotal in their dominant performances.
Should everything fall into place, Kinkaid is poised to capture its first title since the team’s three-peat from 2017 to 2019.
On the opposite side, Greenhill is looking for its first title since 2020.
The Hornets (23-7) have been formidable throughout the tournament, defeating Hockaday 62-42 and the 2024 champs Episcopal 74-49 to reach the final.
Greenhill’s star player is sophomore guard Diya Jain, who has been outstanding, averaging nearly 18 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists per game.
Jain is supported by fellow sophomores Ava John (13 ppg, 8 rpg, 3 apg, 3 spg) and Inari Huynh (8 ppg, 2 rpg, 2 apg), along with senior leader Vivian Franklin (12 ppg, 6 rpg, 5 apg), who provides experience and stability.
The stage is set for a thrilling championship showdown between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. The SPC Girls Basketball Championship will tip off at Trinity Valley at 12:30 PM, promising an exciting conclusion to the season.
