The Fort Bend Marshall Buffs
THE STAMPEDE: No. 13 Fort Bend Marshall has secret sauce in legendary Courtney
No. 13 — FORT BEND MARSHALL BUFFALOS
Two words — Ronnie Courtney.
The legendary coach, with a handful of State Championship rings, led the Fort Bend Marshall Buffs to the State Finals a year ago.
While stars Eian Lowe and Kevin Sargent have moved on, Coach Courtney doesn’t rebuild — he reloads.
The Buffs finished 37–3 last season, continuing their tradition of dominance, and the expectations haven’t changed. The standard is still the standard at Marshall.
This year’s squad will be led by Jayden Jones, a versatile 6-foot-6 forward, along with dynamic guards Armani Theus and Braydon Hughes.
Down low, Christian Chambers and Harvey Baker bring size and toughness to the paint.
Courtney could win the district blind folded, but how far the Buffs go in the postseason will depend on how quickly these new stars emerge under the bright lights.
One thing’s for sure—never count out a Ronnie Courtney team.
