STANDING TALL: No. 16 Grand Oaks could be legit contenders out of Conroe ISD
16 -- GRAND OAKS GRIZZLIES
Grand Oaks and coach Anthony Stephens return three experienced starters off of a 23-17 team that reached the third round of the postseason. The newest Conroe ISD school will have a legit shot at a district title this season and a historic run in the playoffs.
The Grizzlies’ back-court of Trae Lewis, Mike Rosario and Kevin Waddell are their “big three” and are interchangeable.
“We had a good run last year and the guys are hungry to get back there,” Stephens said. “We want to make a run to San Antonio and make our own footprint in this district.”
Jadyn Murray and Ben Garett will be key factors in their ultimate success.
“They are the bigs, who are the ‘X-factors’ to our season,” Stephens said. “They give us length and the ability to defend the paint. We really need them to play big.”

INSIDE THE PROGRAM: Big Mac finding the footing with Eaton; freshmen
It's been a tough start for coach Al Reynolds at MacArthur, but his squad is somewhat young.
The lead General is senior Joshua Eaton, an Oklahoma-commit for football who is averaging over 10 points per game.
Freshman Gary Rebolledo also contributes 11 points per game, and is joined by ninth-graders Anthony Stephens and Justin Williams who will be the future on the program.
