THE LAYUP LINE: No. 18 Cy Creek on a Revenge Tour in this campaign
No. 18 -- CYPRESS CREEK COUGARS
Following a 12-20 season plagued by injuries, Cypress Creek enters 2026 with plenty of motivation to return to the brackets. Coach Shay Arnick, entering her second year at the helm, will rely on a core of returning starters to help the Cougars respond and reestablish their competitive edge.
The catalyst of the roster is Georgia State-commit Aubrey Hampton, who averaged 15 points and 13 rebounds per game last season, earning All-Region honors.

Joining her are District 16-6A Co-Offensive Player of the Year Mariyah Dickson, who put up 20 points per game, and Newcomer of the Year Kaycie Hanks, contributing 10 points per contest. Mariella Beechum (honorable mention) adds versatility and depth to a lineup built on both experience and talent.
Arnick will be stressing health and longevity, as the team seeks to uphold its motto: “Redeem & Revenge.”
Once a perennial State contender — most recently reaching the Final Four in 2021 — Cypress Creek hopes to recapture that level of success. If the Cougars can play to their potential, this roster could be the one to spark a playoff run reminiscent of their glory days.

Cypress Creek Cougars
The Cypress Creek Cougars were the volleyball standard in the city of Houston decades ago. The Cougars won state in 1989, 1993 and 1997 at the highest level of Texas high school volleyball. To put that in perspective, Houston has won only won three volleyball titles at the highest classification since then – The Woodlands (twice) and Cy Falls. Cy Creek is looking to get back to their consistent winning ways. Creek reached the playoffs in 2019 but fell in the first round to Bellaire. The Cougars return three stars who have hopes of advancing further. Lindsey Kriendler (222 kills, 54 blocks) is a first-team middle, while Kiara Thomas (240 kills) was a second-team hitter. Hallie Shepherd (393 digs) will run the defense as an honorable-mention recipient.
