In its third consecutive trip to the TAPPS 6A State Final, Parish Episcopal delivered a composed, commanding performance, pulling away from TMI Episcopal for a 62-48 victory Saturday in Waco. The triumph marked a second title in three seasons for head coach Ahmad Ajami, as the Panthers capped the winter at 21-7 overall.
Senior forward Hudson Lucas and guards Antoine Almuttar and Armon Almuttar each earned State All-Tournament honors, underscoring the balanced firepower and poise that fueled Parish’s championship run.
TAPPS 6A GIRLS -- The Village School dethrones Prestonwood Christian

Under head coach Jason Cantwell, The Village School Lady Vikings (30-6) powered through the TAPPS 6A bracket, eliminating St. Michael’s, Savio, and Antonian before sealing their run with a commanding 70-56 victory over defending champion Prestonwood Christian Academy to claim the state crown.
Moments after the final buzzer, senior guard Shaniya Williams and sophomores Nyla Singleton and Candice Tsiang earned All-Tournament selections, reflecting the team’s balance and composure on the biggest stage. Sophomore point guard Toni Ademuwagun also proved instrumental, pacing the Vikings at nearly 13 points per game and providing a steady offensive presence throughout the winter.

SBS fulfilled its repeat ambitions, cementing the Eagles’ status as one of the state’s premier programs — and a dominant force within the private school ranks. The 31-4 squad rolled past Grace Prep 79-56 on Saturday, securing back-to-back TAPPS 5A state championships and marking the program’s fifth all-time crown.
It’s no secret who fueled head coach Taylor Land’s Second Baptist engine. Junior guard Reese Alston continued to light up the scoreboard all season, averaging 23 points per game, while Navy-bound senior Shia Francis provided the thunder to Alston’s lightning. Both earned All-Tournament honors, joined by sophomore big man Kaiden Smith, a genuine star on the rise. Junior wing Will Goolsby also deserves recognition for his steady scoring presence throughout 2026.
TAPPS 5A GIRLS -- Southwest Christian edges St. Mary's Hall for consecutive state crown

In one of the most electric finales of the weekend, Southwest Christian erased a 10-point deficit against St. Mary’s Hall with fewer than four minutes remaining in the TAPPS 5A championship, ultimately flipping the script for a 46-43 victory. The Eagles (32-8), led by Fred Jones, captured their second consecutive title and brought the team’s fourth state banner back to Fort Worth.
When all was said and done, All-Tournament honors were presented to junior combo guard Maley Campbell, senior Serenity Massey, and freshman Makay Campbell.
TAPPS 4A BOYS -- McKinney Christian completes historic run against Westbury Christian

Wrapping up the season on a 22-game winning streak, McKinney Christian Academy completed a flawless run to the TAPPS 4A title. The championship game ended in a decisive 49-31 victory over Westbury Christian, marking head coach Fonzo Martinez’s latest triumph and capping an impressive 39-1 campaign for the Mustangs.
The Mustangs’ dominance was reflected in the All-Tournament honors, with seniors Jaydan Vicknair and Manny Weaver, along with junior forward Diego Landin, earning recognition for their pivotal roles. Westbury Christian also placed players on the list, including Dan Mangala Jr., Jayvien Cummings, and freshman Carter Guillory.

Torie and Trevyn Turner of Summer Creek
At Summer Creek High School, the Turner name carries some weight.
Torie and Trevyn Turner may have different personalities, but they share the same competitive fire — and an unbreakable bond. Torie is the life of the party.
Her voice can be heard from the parking lot, her laugh is infectious, and her presence is undeniable. A dynamic force in the circle, she’s the Bulldogs’ ace with power at the plate to match. The junior is committed to University of Maryland, where she’ll continue her softball career on the big stage.
Her brother Trevyn brings a different vibe. Laser-focused on his future and grounded in his faith, the 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher lights up the radar gun in the 90s. He’s committed to Texas State University, poised to take his power arm to the next level.
While their personalities contrast — Torie’s big energy and Trevyn’s calm intensity — their connection is constant.
They push each other. Support each other. Protect each other. Different styles. Same last name. Same loyalty.
Meet Torie and Trevyn Turner — a brother-sister duo proving that talent runs in the family, but so does love.
