The Village School did last year what a lot of Houston-area school teams have been trying to do for a long time – win the TAPPS 6A State Championship.
<p>With a 75-48 victory over Prestonwood Christian, the Vikings claimed that title. This comes after falling in the title game the season prior in 2019. Led by Doug Brotherton, The Village School is a sure-fire favorite to get back to the state title game for a third-straight time in 2021. </p><p>Led by TAPPS 6A first-team, all-state selections Texas A&M-signee <a href="https://www.vype.com/recruiting-texas-am-felt-like-home-for-village-schools-jada-malone" target="_blank">Jada Malone</a>, SMU-signee Tymberlin Criswell and Sydney Ward, this team is loaded. Malone enters this season ranked as the 91st-best prospect in the nation by ESPN. Other key returners for the Vikings include all-state, honorable-mention picks Aiken Semones and RyLee Grays, who earned that nod as a freshman last year. Also be on the lookout for Anastacia Yefimenko, who earned honorable-mention, all-district honors in 2020. </p><p>This team is primed for a repeat, now can they do it? </p>

Lutheran High North reached the TAPPS 4A State Semis in Waco a year ago, after playing for the title in 2019. It was there that the Lions saw their season come to an end, falling 56-43 to the Texas School for the Deaf, finishing the year 18-12 overall.
<p><span style=""></span></p><p><span style=""></span></p><p>As the Lions look towards 2021, there's a lot to be excited about for John Slomcheck (204-97 at LHN) and company. With all five starters returning, Lutheran High North should be considered a favorite to reach the TAPPS Final Four again. </p><p>Led by second-team, all-state pick Kinsie Kim (10 ppg, 6 apg) and first team all-district picks Andrea Ramirez (12 ppg, 10rpg) and Victoria Noack (9 ppg, 5 rpg), the Lions have a lot of scoring potential. Also, watch out for Kaitlyn Alexander. </p><p>This team has all the pieces to get back to Waco and if they execute Slomcheck's keys to success for this year – pushing the tempo and pressing on defense – they could get there. </p>
