2025-26 La Porte Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 11 La Porte Bulldogs
No. 11 -- LA PORTE BULLDOGS
Riding the high of a 28-11 season, a district title, and a lengthy playoff run that reached the Regional Semifinals, the Lady Bulldogs are set to make their mark in 5A once again.
With 15th-year coach Elisha Thompson back at the helm, the program flexes a wealth of experience to lead the charge.
At the forefront is senior Jakayla Glover, a TABC All-Region selection and first-team, all-district honoree. She’s joined by fellow first-teamer Sophia Rodriguez (Sr. G), along with second-team selection, Kaia Greenawalt (Jr. F). Furthermore, there will be plenty of input from the likes of Celeste Cruz (Sr. G), Skylynn Keever (Sr. F), and sophomore Isabella Rodriguez (So. G).
Though District 20-5A remains highly competitive — particularly with Iowa Colony and Friendswood — La Porte has the experience, talent, and coaching stability to contend at the top.
The stars of 2025-26 Cypress Falls Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 12 Cy Falls Eagles
No. 12 -- CYPRESS FALLS GOLDEN EAGLES
After a 12-year District Championship drought, Cy Falls made a statement in 2025, going 28-6 overall and 13-1 in district play.
Coach Larissa Leal – now in Year No. 4 – guided the team to the Regional Semifinals and now looks to carry that winning mentality into this year’s outing.
Once again, the Golden Eagles will be headlined by TGCA All-State selection and 17-6A Co-MVP Dazlyn McClenon, who averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals per contest last season. Giselle Jackson – also a TGCA All-State pick and first-team, all-district honoree – piles onto the production, after posting some exceptional stats (14 ppg, 3 apg, 3 spg).
Andrea Vital (second-team) is another player to consider, as the roster prepares to maintain its competitive edge.
“Keys to this season are establishing leadership early, using preseason and early games to develop depth quickly, and playing to our strengths,” Leal said.
With returning talent and a championship mindset, Cypress Falls is ready to go “All In” in 25-26, aiming to defend its district crown and expand on their postseason success.
