Over the past several years, the Memorial Mustangs have solidified themselves as one of Houston’s perennial programs.
In 2025, they finished 22-16 and advanced to the Area Round of the playoffs, marking the seventh consecutive postseason appearance under Jyusef Larry, who enters his 16th year as head coach.
Memorial returns much of its central rotation, led by Princeton-commit Draden Moss. The senior — an All-Region selection and 17-6A Offensive Player of theYear — averaged roughly 17 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals per game, giving the Mustangs a proven weapon on both ends of the floor.
Sophomore Sa’Niyah Paulus, last year’s District Newcomer of the Year, comes back after averaging 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds in her debut campaign.
Furthermore, veterans like Allison Moss (Sr. G), Ivy Oliver (Sr. G) — returning from injury after a sophomore season that produced 9.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game — and Brooke Kearns (Sr. G) provide additional depth and stability.

No. 9 -- GRAND OAKS GRIZZLIES
Led by Shiakiea Carter (7th year; 134-58), the Grizzlies roared to 31 wins last season, advancing to the 6A-D2 Regional Semifinals in the process.
While last year’s leading scorer, Bree Riley, has moved on to Abilene Christian University, plenty of firepower returns to the mix. Junior Hannah Reynolds — a first-team, all-district selection — averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals per game last season and is expected to anchor the Grizzlies’ backcourt.
Fellow first-teamer Avery Campbell (Jr. SF) is poised to thrive in an expanded role, while senior Jordan Daigle (Prairie View A&M-commit) strengthens the frontcourt after transferring from Oak Ridge. Other players to watch include K’Mylii Nettles, Zoe Harris, and Danielle Roland, each contributing in their own way.
For Carter, replicating last year’s energy will require focus on fundamentals and cohesion. “We need to continue respecting the game of basketball, pressuring defensively, keeping an up-tempo style, meeting my athletes where they are, and rising together,” she said.
