Having a successful Track and Field program takes balance. Sprints, long-distance, jumps, and throws all must have success and Coach Ray Lian is putting the puzzle together at King's Ridge.

North Crowley (11–1), the defending 6A-D1 State Champions, enters the matchup playing its best football of the year. Since a narrow 37–35 loss to Rockwall in September, head coach Ray Gates’ Panthers have ripped off an undefeated District 3-6A run — a stretch that included Gates’ 50th career win at NCHS — before rolling past Keller (42–20) and Midland Legacy (63–17) in the opening rounds of the postseason.
Despite featuring a relatively new-look roster, North Crowley is still loaded with firepower. Junior running back Kiante Ingram surpassed 1,000 rushing yards during the regular season and continues to be the engine of the offense. Sophomore wideout Damarion Mays, a 6-foot-2 four-star with offers from Oregon, Ohio State, USC, and Texas A&M, adds a vertical dimension few can match. Quarterback Hayes Cloutier has also flourished behind an imposing offensive line anchored by Texas-bound senior John Turntine III.
Defensively, the Panthers remain just as formidable, led by four-star junior defensive back Jerry Outhouse Jr. and Texas Tech commit Aaron Bradshaw, who anchor a secondary built to erase big plays.

Coppell (10–1) arrives riding a seven-game winning streak and an identity centered around balance, explosiveness, and a rising star under center. The Cowboys’ lone loss came to Denton Guyer in September, but since then, Antonio Wiley’s group has dominated, shutting out Plano (38–0) and dispatching Richardson (38–7) to punch its ticket to Round 3.
Sophomore quarterback Carter Zingelmann has been nothing short of transformative. The 6-foot-5 four-star has unlocked Coppell’s offense with 1,736 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, complemented by 733 rushing yards and 13 additional scores. Supporting him is a potent backfield duo: junior Jayden George and senior Dylan McAfee, who have combined for over 1,700 yards and 20 total touchdowns.
Defensively, the Cowboys field a deep, athletic unit featuring senior twins Tyree and Tyrell Roberson, junior playmaker Jaden Bibbs, and sophomore safety Anthony Lewis. In the trenches, junior linebacker Madden Montague (88 tackles) sets the tone, while sophomore Aaron Isbell (8 sacks, 16 TFL) and seniors Braylon Powell and Eduvie Nesiama fortify the front.
With North Crowley’s championship pedigree clashing against Coppell’s meteoric rise, Saturday’s showdown has all the makings of a Region I classic.

The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Springs Girls Basketball & HC Taneisha Rogers
Isaiah Vela (VYPE)
The Panthers lost standout Ayla McDowell to South Carolina and Jemini Mitchell to Legion Prep Academy in Dallas, but the program’s standard under 12th-year head coach Taneisha Rogers remains the same: win and advance.
Only one starter returns from that deep playoff team, yet Cy Springs is far from starting over. Floor general Tamiah Harrison and sharpshooter Nevaeh Smith bring stability to the backcourt, while Madison Madkins, Milan Barnes, and Daija Barrow are primed to carve out larger roles as the Panthers chase a seventh straight postseason berth.
And then there’s Makenzie Jackson — a Class of 2029 phenom whose size, skill, and poise have already made her a name to know in Houston basketball circles. The future isn’t just bright; it’s already walking the halls at Cy Springs.
