Whataburger Team of the Week: Shadow Creek GBB wills its way to first UIL State Final Four
There’s a new regime emerging in the high school girls basketball landscape, as Shadow Creek put the state on notice with its victory over perennial powerhouse Hightower last Friday.
Facing their toughest test of the season with the stakes at their highest, the Lady Sharks endured a razor-thin battle in the Region III Final. Yet when the moment demanded it, head coach LaToya Micheaux-Giles and her squad steadied themselves, creating just enough separation to secure the program’s first-ever trip to the UIL State Final Four.

Junior guard Courtland Cloud captured the feeling shortly after the Lady Sharks’ 55-50 victory at Pasadena ISD’s Weldon “Stoney” Phillips Fieldhouse: “What they gotta say now?” The sentiment mirrors Shadow Creek’s season-long edge—a team that has embraced being overlooked and turned doubt into fuel.
Now, the Lady Sharks enter the 6A Division II State Semifinals with a sterling 33-4 record and something still to prove.
Cloud has been instrumental throughout the run, averaging roughly 15 points and seven rebounds per game. Seniors Kurynn McNeill and Da’Niyah Lewis, along with junior Aliyah Woodard and sophomore Shona Gilbert, have been equally vital, each delivering in key moments.
What separates Shadow Creek—beyond its poise—is a relentless defensive pressure paired with an unselfish offensive approach. That identity will be tested Tuesday at 6 p.m., when the Alvin ISD representatives take on 39-0 Westlake at Brenham High School.
