Whataburger Team of the Week: Memorial VB claims undefeated district title ahead of ensuing playoffs
The victory capped a dominant regular season that’s seen the Mustangs blend balance, composure, and energy at every turn — all hallmarks of a team built for the postseason.
Under head coach Kaddie Platt, Memorial has thrived behind one of the area’s most complete lineups.
Junior Mary Margaret Schwieder has been a driving force on both ends, leading the team in kills (237) and serve receptions (604) while contributing nearly 400 digs. Fellow junior Tesa Solis has complemented her on the attack, approaching the 200-kill mark as another key piece in the Mustangs’ offense.

Setting the tone for that offensive rhythm has been senior Ella Ross, who’s tallied more than 450 assists while giving her hitters opportunities to capitalize in transition. On the defensive end, senior libero Kassia Tan has been the anchor, registering 483 digs and consistently stabilizing the back row.
Perhaps the biggest X-factor, though, has been sophomore Taylor Harting, whose versatility has made her indispensable. Moving fluidly between setter and right-side hitter, Harting has filled multiple roles with poise — racking up 388 assists, 229 digs, and 157 kills in the process.
Collectively, Memorial has found its stride at the perfect time.
With a district crown in hand and a confident rotation clicking on both sides of the net, the Mustangs now turn their focus toward a playoff run that promises to be as competitive as any in Class 6A — and they look every bit the part of a team ready to make noise when it matters most
The Memorial Mustangs Boys Golf team takes third at the UIL State Tournament
THE RECAP: Results of the UIL State Boys Golf Tourney; The Woodlands, Memorial excel
However, the Highlanders do still hold the distinction of having individual state champ -- Cooper Paull -- among their ranks, after he shot for an astounding 138 over the two-day competition.
Houston Memorial was right behind them in the No. 3 spot (576), and featured four competitors who finished within the top-25.
In Class 5A, the Lake Creek Lions would be the top H-Town finisher, ending up fourth overall -- just one stroke shy of third -- with each of their golfers ending up in the top twenty spots, including Brody Knowlton who tied for third place, individually.
Additionally, Bellville and Livingston featured a slew of top competitors in Class 4A.
With all that being said, here is the full list of H-Town golfers who climbed the charts on the state-wide golf course.
