ORANGEFIELD BOBCATS
Traveling from near the Louisiana border in Southeast Texas, Orangefield’s path to the State Final has been nothing short of remarkable. Making their program debut in the UIL championship, head coach Bryan Whitmire and the Bobcats arrive riding the momentum of a 26-game winning streak. Most recently, they outlasted CC London in a 60-57 thriller to improve to 35-3 on the year.
Though this feat has unquestionably been accomplished through a team effort, it’s difficult to deny the comprehensive impact seniors Jaden Scales and Carson Willis have had throughout the winter. At guard, Scales is averaging roughly 21 points, four assists, and two rebounds per game, while Willis is contributing 17 points and six rebounds a night from the post. Factor in the consistent production of junior Rylan Agerton, sophomore Kyran Morrow, and junior Elijah Jones, and it makes complete sense that this Orangefield team is on the precipice of etching its name into the history books.

DALLAS MADISON TROJANS
Summary
While this is a new setting for Orangefield, the Alamodome has seemingly become a home away from home for the “Great” James Madison High. Under head coach Gerald Smith, the Trojans are making their 12th appearance in the title game (13th trip to the Final Four), and their first since the team’s championship run in 2022. On the heels of Tuesday’s 78-71 victory over Brownfield, Madison (25-12) now eyes the chance to secure state banner No. 6 — which would add another impressive chapter to one of the most preeminent programs of the 21st century.
Leading the charge for the Dallas ISD landmark is shooting guard Josiah “Juice” Cobb. Still a junior, the 6-foot-1 Cobb is a constant threat to score 20 or more points on any given night, complementing the steady contributions of seniors Eddie Moss, Darius Hooks, and Jamirion Rice.
