The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Falls Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 12 Cy Falls Eagles
No. 12 -- CYPRESS FALLS GOLDEN EAGLES
After a 12-year District Championship drought, Cy Falls made a statement in 2025, going 28-6 overall and 13-1 in district play.
Coach Larissa Leal – now in Year No. 4 – guided the team to the Regional Semifinals and now looks to carry that winning mentality into this year’s outing.
Once again, the Golden Eagles will be headlined by TGCA All-State selection and 17-6A Co-MVP Dazlyn McClenon, who averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals per contest last season. Giselle Jackson – also a TGCA All-State pick and first-team, all-district honoree – piles onto the production, after posting some exceptional stats (14 ppg, 3 apg, 3 spg).
Andrea Vital (second-team) is another player to consider, as the roster prepares to maintain its competitive edge.
“Keys to this season are establishing leadership early, using preseason and early games to develop depth quickly, and playing to our strengths,” Leal said.
With returning talent and a championship mindset, Cypress Falls is ready to go “All In” in 25-26, aiming to defend its district crown and expand on their postseason success.
2025-26 Cypress Ranch Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: Steele an undisputed Alpha for No. 14 Cy Ranch
No. 14 -- CYPRESS RANCH MUSTANGS
Competing with the perennial dominance of Cy Springs is never an easy task, but Cypress Ranch has continuously remained in the upper tier of District 16-6A.
That trend continued a year ago, when coach Megan Daniel guided the team to a 25-9 record and a second-place district finish before a narrow Area Round loss to Nimitz.
At the heart of the Mustangs’ firepower is senior Averie Steele, a towering presence in each phase of the game. Steele led Cypress Ranch in scoring (14.8 ppg), surpassed the 1,000-point career milestone, and set school records for blocks — single game, single season (66), and career totals. Her all-around prowess earned her 16-6A Defensive Player of the Year honors and makes her a clear future Division I prospect.
Supporting Steele are seasoned leaders Audriana Kobina (second-team, all-district) and Ireland Wright (honorable mention). Rounding out the returning senior class will be Saniyya Harden (Sr. F), Carlea Broom (Sr. G), and Essence Winston (Sr. G).
With the quality of assets this team has, it’s entirely possible that the Mustangs surpass their 2025-mark and then some.
