2025-26 Cypress Ranch Girls Basketball

No. 14 -- CYPRESS RANCH MUSTANGS
Competing with the perennial dominance of Cy Springs is never an easy task, but Cypress Ranch has continuously remained in the upper tier of District 16-6A.
That trend continued a year ago, when coach Megan Daniel guided the team to a 25-9 record and a second-place district finish before a narrow Area Round loss to Nimitz.
At the heart of the Mustangs’ firepower is senior Averie Steele, a towering presence in each phase of the game. Steele led Cypress Ranch in scoring (14.8 ppg), surpassed the 1,000-point career milestone, and set school records for blocks — single game, single season (66), and career totals. Her all-around prowess earned her 16-6A Defensive Player of the Year honors and makes her a clear future Division I prospect.
Supporting Steele are seasoned leaders Audriana Kobina (second-team, all-district) and Ireland Wright (honorable mention). Rounding out the returning senior class will be Saniyya Harden (Sr. F), Carlea Broom (Sr. G), and Essence Winston (Sr. G).
With the quality of assets this team has, it’s entirely possible that the Mustangs surpass their 2025-mark and then some.

THE NEXT BIG THING: Friendswood phenom Richardson the latest in a long line of exceptional athletes
21 Nov, 2025
Friendswood's Chase Richardson (Jr. G)
Matt Powell (VYPE)
Friendswood junior guard Chase Richardson averaged 14 points per game for the Mustangs, who won their district title before falling to Barbers Hill in the opening round of the postseason. But that's just part of the story.
The 6-foot-2 standout has become one of the most coveted 2027 recruits in Texas, boasting over 30 Division I offers from household-name programs across the country.
So, what makes him special?
Richardson plays with a chip on his shoulder — always has. He’s never been the best player on his AAU team, and that fuels him.I t pushes him to outwork, outthink, and outcompete everyone in the gym.
He lives in the gym, training under the tutelage of TJ Ford, the former Houston high school basketball legend from Willowridge who went on to star at Texas and play 10 seasons in the NBA.

But there’s more to the Richardson story.
His father, Chad Richardson, was the starting quarterback for Rice University in the 1990s. His mother, Anne, was an All-American hurdler at the University of Wyoming. And his sister, Charlotte, plays soccer at the University of Houston. Get the picture?
Athleticism runs deep in the Richardson bloodline— and Chase is the baby of the bunch. He actually began his athletic career as a left-handed pitcher, which explains his ability to fire pinpoint, full-court passes and throw down thunderous left-handed dunks.
The twist? He shoots right-handed.
“I loved baseball,” he laughed. “But the energy of basketball took over my life. The pace, the crowd, the creativity, the explosiveness —it’s what I love about the game.
“As I got bigger and stronger, I started to get more confident and it began to grow. I’ve always been a leader, and as I become an upperclassman, I will continue to develop that quality even more. It’s great seeing all of this hard work paying off.”
Richardson’s recruiting process is heating up. He’s taken official visits to Notre Dame, SMU, and Iowa, with many more to come. Over the next 18 months, he’ll have his pick of elite programs. As for his on-court inspiration?
“I love Jason Williams,” he said. “The confidence he played with was crazy. He was fearless and broke all the stereotypes. I love the style and flair he played with.”
As Richardson continues to carve out his journey on the hardwood, his blend of work ethic, family lineage, and natural talent make him a can’t-miss prospect — one who’s just getting started.

2025-26 Stratford Girls Basketball
Matt Powell (VYPE)
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.
