The Gators of Dickinson
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 20 Dickinson queens of District 24-6A
No. 20 — DICKINSON GATORS
Consistency has become the standard at Dickinson under head coach Toya Peterson.
Approaching Year No. 4 at the wheel, Peterson has guided the Gators to an 80-22 record and six consecutive playoff appearances. Last winter’s 26-9 finish, capped by a District 24-6A title, reaffirmed the program’s place among the area’s 6A contenders. This year’s group returns a strong nucleus, anchored by first-team, all-district selection Lindsey Scott, who holds multiple college
offers and remains on an upwards trajectory.
She’ll be joined by veterans Tessa Treat (Jr. G), Kylie Cleveland (Jr. F), and Jaleigh Wilson (Sr. G), as well as freshman post Makinley Peterson — a group that gives Dickinson a reliable senseof chemistry.
For the Gators, the focus remains simple but demanding: “Defend & Dictate.”

The stars of 2025-26 Nimitz Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: Venzant has No. 21 Nimitz rolling
No. 21 — NIMITZ COUGARS
Nimitz turned heads a year ago, going 13-1 in district play and advancing to the 6A-D1 Regional Semifinals before bowing
out to eventual state finalist Cedar Hill.
The Kendra Venzant-led Cougars closed the year at 26-9, further cementing their place as one of the area’s well-run organizations. As the new season unfolds, Nimitz looks to extend its playoff streak to six straight appearances — a goal made realistic by a sturdy foundation of returning talent.
Junior Tatiyana Cole (6.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.1 bpg), a first-team, all-district honoree, anchors the interior with her physical presence and defensive instincts, while sophomore Alayia Hutchinson (4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 2 apg)— a second-team pick — brings energy to the backcourt.
Also expected to contribute are Jamyla Thomas and Johnielys Clemente Quinones, who round out a roster built on resilience.
Adversity will come, but if there’s one thing the Cougars have proven, it’s that they’re built to handle the grind.
