LOW-KEY LETHAL: The Bowers tenure begins as No. 11 Summer Creek reloads
No. 11 -- Summer Creek Bulldogs
Legendary Ragin’ Cajuns catcher Lana Bowers takes the reins of the Bulldogs, aiming to capitalize on the program’s status as a perennial challenger in Houston. Summer Creek shared the District 23-6A title with Kingwood last season, finishing 25-6, but ran into a tough postseason draw and fell in the opening round to eventual 6A Division I State Finalist Clear Springs.
But don’t sleep on SCHS — they have talent to spare and should be more motivated than ever.
Pitching duties will likely continue to be split between the one-two punch of juniors Torie Turner (Maryland commit) and Alyssa Flores (Trinity Valley), both first-team all-district selections who are equally dangerous at the plate.

Meanwhile, shortstop Elaina Bonuelos (South Carolina Upstate) and catcher Olivia Maciel (Trinity Valley) — both first-teamers — will look to cap off their senior seasons on a high note, while second-team infielder Bella Melchor should build on a spring in which she led the team with 28 RBIs and eight home runs.

ON THE RISE: Regionals were only the beginning for No. 6 Summer Creek
No. 6 -- SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
In his first year at the helm, head coach Daniel Moore wasted little time making his mark on Summer Creek basketball. The Bulldogs tallied 24 wins, secured a third-place finish in the rugged 23-6A district, and advanced three rounds deep into the postseason — a statement campaign that reasserted SCHS as one of Houston’s premier programs.
At the heart of that resurgence was senior point guard Reggie Rideau, whose poise and two-way command set the tone for the Bulldogs’ identity.
The reigning 23-6A MVP averaged 15 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals per contest — production that speaks to his control of the game’s rhythm as much as his scoring touch. With a growing list of Division I suitors, Rideau enters his final season not just as a standout talent, but as the catalyst for Summer Creek’s continued rise.
A balanced supporting cast — including junior Cameron Martin (all-district honorable mention), senior Patrice Mpouli, and junior Daniel Clark — adds depth and versatility as the Bulldogs look to build on last year’s breakthrough.
