LOVB Spotlight: Grand Oaks' Thompson departs international flight to drive Grizzlies to win
22 Aug, 2025
Hours after getting off an international flight from Indonesia, where she played for USA Volleyball, Grand Oaks’ Halle Thompson was back at it for the back-to-back State Champ Grizzlies.
The 9-4 Grand Oaks Grizzlies went across I-45 to face VYPE-ranked The Woodlands at home.
Game time was at 5:30 and the Wisconsin-commit did not look jet-lagged at all.
The Grizzles (1-0 in district) swept the Highlanders with Thompson dominating in all facets of the game.
“I just love volleyball, what can I say?” Thompson smiled. “It was a long day but there is no other place I’d rather be than helping my team. I can sleep later.”
The game was somewhat tight in the first two games, when the Highlander fans started in on the “Overrated” chants.
Bad idea.

Whataburger Team of the Week: Cy Ranch VB opens 2025 with stifling momentum, Tournament-glory
21 Aug, 2025
With a spotless record, tournament hardware, and a roster stacked with seasoned talent, Cypress Ranch is beginning to turn heads across Texas.
The Mustangs have emerged as one of the most consistent forces early in the 2025 season—flexing an early momentum in a way that few programs can match.
Led by head coach Dr. Collea McKinney—who took over in 2023 following Chrissy Woodward’s tenure—Cy Ranch has continued to assert itself as one of Texas’ perennial powerhouses.
They recently rolled through the Cy-Fair ISD/Katy ISD Tournament with an unblemished 8-0 run, claiming the championship for a second straight year. That title-clinching effort was capped off with a thrilling reverse sweep, showcasing both grit and poise.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the state by MaxPreps and No. 4 in Texas Volleyball Insiders’ Class 6A poll, the Mustangs’ depth and experience have been instrumental in their early-season success.

Senior Madyson Carr led the way in the tournament, earning MVP honors, while fellow seniors Kennedy White (All-Tournament Blocker), Rice-commit Zora Bello (All-Tournament Setter), and Kinsley Hooper (All-Tournament Libero) provided key contributions on both ends of the court.
Other notable standouts, thus far, include Memphis-commit Kaylee Parker (Sr. OH), Southwestern-bound Caroline Srubar (Sr. S), Saniya Reynolds (Jr. MB), and sophomore outside hitter Sade Bello—Zora’s younger sister—who continues to shine in her second varsity season.
The road ahead features several key matchups, including a marquee non-district contest against Tompkins this Friday. The Mustangs are also set to compete in the Leader ISD Volleypalooza and Clear Creek ISD Tournaments, where they’ll look to keep up the pace against a high level of competition.
Ultimately, Cypress Ranch will have its eyes on securing the outright District 16-6A title—after splitting it with Bridgeland last season—and making a more extensive postseason run following last year’s early playoff exit in the Area Round to The Woodlands.
If how they have performed up to this point is any indication, this could be the year that CRHS breaks through the barrier.
