2025-26 Stratford Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 15 Stratford embracing the test of District and beyond
No. 15 -- STRATFORD SPARTANS
After a season full of milestones, Stratford enters 2025–26 riding momentum from a 21-10 overall record and a 12-2 district mark, including a landmark win over Memorial — a program they hadn’t beaten in a decade.
From there, the Spartans advanced past Heights 47-40 in the Bi-District round before their playoff run ended in the Area Round against Fulshear.
Now in her third year as head coach, Audrisa Harrison (40-24) brings back a healthy mix of juniors and sophomores ready to take the reins this season.

At the center is 17-6A Co-MVP Tess Stephenson, who averaged 17 points and 5 rebounds per game as a sophomore and earned TGCA All-State and TABC All-Region honors. Harrison notes Stephenson’s ability to score at all levels, paired with court vision and two-way impact, makes her the team’s cornerstone.
Other returning players include Riley O’Connor (Jr. G) and Ava Gibson (So. G), both honorable mention all-district selections. Watch also for Camille Warren, whose relentless motor can shift momentum, and Sophia Prejean, a versatile post/stretch player with high upside.
By all measures, the team’s motto — “Accept the Challenge” —perfectly embodies Stratford’s approach this winter.

OFF THE DRIBBLE: The All-VYPE preseason girls basketball teams
OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS, IT’S BECOME CLEAR THAT GIRLS BASKETBALL STANDS AMONG THE GRITTIEST ARENAS IN HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.
LAST MARCH’S STATE TITLE THRILLER — CAPPED BY SUMMER CREEK’S COMEBACK VICTORY — ONLY REINFORCED THAT TRUTH.
BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD, THOUGH, THE SPORT CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED BY THE PERSONALITIES DRIVING IT FORWARD — ATHLETES WHO REPRESENT NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT SHAPED THEM.
AS ANOTHER CAMPAIGN APPROACHES, WE SPOTLIGHT THE NAMES AND PROGRAMS SETTING THE STANDARD IN H-TOWN HOOPS.
