Dickinson's Snelson talks dream season; North Shore
The Dickinson Gators are having a historic season, and head coach/AD John Snelson believes there’s something special about this group. The Gators have been a consistent playoff program under his leadership, but this year they’ve taken it to another level — advancing to the Class 6A DI Region III Final against powerhouse North Shore.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta sat down with Coach Snelson ahead of the biggest game in program history. Dickinson enters the matchup as arguably Houston’s No. 1 team, having taken down giants such as C.E. King, Katy, Atascocita, and Pearland.
Can the Gators do it one more time this weekend?

18 -- DICKINSON GATORS
From the southside of Houston, the Gators were one of the city’s most formidable teams throughout the 2023-24 regular season.
Having gone 30-4, which included an undefeated (12-0) district championship, it appeared that Dickinson was poised for a lengthy run in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, they ended up suffering a 61-54 heart-breaker at the hands of Alief Taylor in the opening round.
Suffice it to say, coach Toya Peterson and company will be plenty motivated to flip the script this time around.
Peterson will have the luxury of bringing back her two leading scorers, seniors Jazmine Hansley (17.8 ppg, 6 apg, 4.7 spg) and Ciara Williams (17 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.2 spg), who will continue to light up the board.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Scott (Jr. G) and Troi’Sha Frederick (So. G) should expect some more action as they step into larger roles. Another district title could be in the cards for Dickinson, but they’ll have loftier ambitions in mind heading into this winter.
