2025-26 Shadow Creek Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 22 Shadow Creek is more than capable of walking the walk
No. 22 — SHADOW CREEK SHARKS
Shadow Creek might boast one of the sharpest looks in Texas high school basketball — but as always, substance outweighs style.
Fortunately, the Sharks have the game to match the aesthetic.
Coming off a 26-10 campaign and another playoff appearance, tenth-year coach LaToya Micheaux guides a roster loaded with balance and efficiency. Junior guard Aliyah Woodard, last season’s leading scorer, poured in nearly 400 points en route to first-team, all-district honors. She’ll once again headline the attack alongside Da’Niyah Lewis (Sr. PG), a fellow first-team selection who contributed over 300 points and dished more than 100 assists.
Following a breakout season, sophomore Shona Gilbert (first-team) also returns primed for a bigger role.
Rounding out the rotation are St. Pius X-transfer Courtland Cloud (Jr. G), Kurynn McNeill (Sr. G), and Ijeoma Njeako (Sr. F) — each adding layers of depth and energy to the lineup.
Micheaux’s blueprint for 2026 is simple yet demanding: keep the tempo high, stay disruptive ondefense, and let the Sharks’ identity speak for itself.

Randle had magical season in 2024
The No. 5 Randle Lions are here to stay
No. 5 — RANDLE LIONS
The 2023-24 season was one for the history books for Randle.
In just its second year of playing varsity basketball, the Lady Lions roared their way to the Class 5A State Tournament in San Antonio under the guidance of Christy Westbrooks.
The Lady Lions went 30-9 and rolled through the likes of Crosby, Foster, Pflugerville Hendrickson and Barbers Hill to get to the Alamodome.
District 20-5A MVP Alaysia Cook is back to lead the offensive charge. Cook averaged a team-leading 14.3 points per game. She also racked up 5.7 rebounds, 4.8 steals and 3.8 assists per game, and received an All-State and All-Region selection. She was named to the THSCA Class 4A Super Elite Team as well.
Junior Kurynn McNeill was a second-team, all-district pick as a 5-foot-7 combo guard for the Lady Lions. McNeill averaged 9.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and four steals per game in her sophomore campaign. Finally, Gabby Ellis, who was a district honorable mention, rounds out the returners for the Lady Lions.
