Lago Vista Vikings vs. Troy Trojans
7:15 p.m. Pre-game, 7:30 Kickoff
Lago Vista Crew: Eric Holt, BJ Hill, QA – Mitchell Padgett
HOUSTON - In the world of girls basketball in Houston, all the talk usually surrounds Cypress Creek.
Rightfully so as the program played for a state title last year and has a pair of Texas signees running one of the best backcourts in possibly the state.
But don't sleep on Fort Bend Dulles or Nya Threatt.
<p>Almost quietly, the Vikings have rolled to a perfect 20-0 record. They have outscored teams by a remarkable 1,346 to 725. Their season-high in points is 95. The second-most is 84. </p><p>A big factor in the success of the Vikings has been the play of 2022 prospect Nya Threatt, who has also almost quietly averaged 20.4 points per game and registered point No. 1,000 of her career on January 16. </p><p>"The difference from last year to this year to me is I have been more aggressive on offense and defense," Threatt said. "As a junior, I don't have much time left so this season had to be a big season for me to get my name out there to get noticed by college coaches." </p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/Nya_T08?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Nya_T08</a> Scores her 1000 point from half court!!!

</script></p><p>Outside of the obvious uptick in scoring, which has increased by eight points per game since her sophomore campaign, she has also improved in other parts of her game that don't involve on-the-court athletic skill. </p><p>"I have improved on my leadership and being more vocal as an upperclassman," Threatt said. </p><p>As far as the unblemished record? </p><p>"As a team, we recognize being 20-0 is a big accomplishment but we try not to focus on that too much," she added. "We just continue to put in hard work to get better." </p><p>Outside of playing basketball, Threatt enjoys spending time with family and friends and hopes to one day attend LSU. But just like her favorite hype song, the season is not over for Threatt yet and she still has "Sum 2 Prove". </p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Congratulations ♥️ <a href="https://twitter.com/Nya_T08?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Nya_T08</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/1000pts?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#1000pts</a> <a href="https://t.co/FG0d5cOLvg">pic.twitter.com/FG0d5cOLvg</a><br>— Nariah🧸 (@nariahx) <a href="https://twitter.com/nariahx/status/1350553599076691975?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 16, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div>

Fort Worth Christian basketball at the VYPE DFW WhataSNAP photoshoot.
The 2019-2020 basketball season ended with no crowned victors, but as it currently stands, the 2020-2021 season may not see the same fate. With only two games left in district play, the Fort Worth Christian Cardinals are fighting for a highly coveted playoff spot.
<p>Having not seen the state title game since 1998 where Fort Worth Christian was the state runner-up for the second season in a row, the Cardinals are determined to make a name for themselves as they inch towards playoffs. </p><p>"Our main goal is winning a 5A state championship," said junior Nathan Bledsoe in an interview earlier this season. "We've got the right pieces, we've got the right work ethic. I think that's what we can do."</p><p>The Cardinals have posted a 15-9 record overall this season with a 4-1 district record and currently sit at the No. 2 position in TAPPS 5A District 1. They will face TAPPS 5A District 1 No. 1 Grapevine Faith Christian (15-7, 4-1) on Tuesday, January 26 with tip-off set for 7:30 pm.</p>
