OFF THE DRIBBLE: The All-VYPE preseason girls basketball teams
OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS, IT’S BECOME CLEAR THAT GIRLS BASKETBALL STANDS AMONG THE GRITTIEST ARENAS IN HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.
LAST MARCH’S STATE TITLE THRILLER — CAPPED BY SUMMER CREEK’S COMEBACK VICTORY — ONLY REINFORCED THAT TRUTH.
BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD, THOUGH, THE SPORT CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED BY THE PERSONALITIES DRIVING IT FORWARD — ATHLETES WHO REPRESENT NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT SHAPED THEM.
AS ANOTHER CAMPAIGN APPROACHES, WE SPOTLIGHT THE NAMES AND PROGRAMS SETTING THE STANDARD IN H-TOWN HOOPS.
HERE ARE THE CAN'T MISS KIDS IN H-TOWN.

PRE-ORDER THE MAG
Klein Collins the queens on the north?
No. 16 Klein Collins in reboot-mode
No. 16 — KLEIN COLLINS TIGERS
Klein Colins dominated all of last year, especially among their district counterparts, resulting in a second-straight undefeated (14-0) district championship – and their fourth title in five years. From there, the Tigers defeated Cy Falls (63-49) and Spring (68-29), before falling to perennial power Cy Springs in the UIL-6A Regional Quarterfinals, ending their season 31-4.
Nothing stands to change with Coach of the Year Tatiana Lee back at the helm, and a plethora of stars returning to the court. While Collins does say goodbye to District MVP Christin Callens (St. Mary’s University), sophomore point guard A’Niyah Harmon will ensure that the team doesn’t skip a beat. Harmon was named the 15-6A Offensive Player of the Year for her considerable efforts (15.3 ppg, 4.6 apg, 5 spg) in 2024, and should continue to be a dynamic force.
Joining her on the floor will be second- team, all-district selection Christen Campbell (Sr. PF) and honorable mentions Jeani’ Arthur (Sr. SG), Alana Fontenot (Jr. G) and freshman Hailey Neal.
District gold will always be the standard for Klein Collins. Now, can they turn that into another deep run in the playoffs?
