LA MARQUE COUGARS
La Marque delivered a measure of poetic justice on Tuesday, flipping the script on Wheatley—a team that eliminated them in last year’s State Semifinals—in what amounted to a must-see 68-67 slugfest at Missouri City’s Hopson Field House. In doing so, head coach Kevin Wilcox and the Cougars punched their ticket to the UIL title game for the first time since 2011 (second overall), while extending La Marque’s record to 41-1 during its fifth trip to the State Tournament.
Spearheading the effort to capture the team’s first championship is a roster defined by collective firepower. Senior Je’Caryous Oliver leads the Cougars in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 14 points and nine boards per night. He’s complemented by junior Malcolm McNair (14 ppg, 3 rpg), along with seniors Brendan Harris (10 ppg, 7 rpg), Brandon Harris (8 ppg, 9 rpg), and Dylan Lindsey (10 ppg, 3 rpg), forming a dangerous rotation that forces opponents to pick their poison.
CARTER COWBOYS
Riding a 24-game winning streak, the Lyndon Love-led Cowboys have stormed through the postseason, most recently toppling Brock 52-44 after upsetting the defending 4A Division 2 champions, Kennedale, in last week’s Region II Final. Now, all that stands between Carter (30-6)—making its third appearance in the State Final and fourth all-time in the Tournament —and the program’s inaugural UIL title is La Marque.
Point guard Amarion Hunter is the undeniable engine behind the Carter machine. The junior and three-star collegiate prospect (247Sports) is averaging nearly 24 points, six assists, and four rebounds per game. Towering at 6-foot-10, sophomore post Terrell Jackson has enjoyed a breakout season, putting up 14 points and 11 rebounds on average. Meanwhile, junior guard Landen “Fats” Higgs (12 ppg, 6 apg, 4 rpg) rounds out the monster trio of the Dallas ISD powerhouse.

ALMETA CRAWFORD CHARGERS
In just the program’s third season since the school opened its doors in 2023, head coach Chris Iles has guided Almeta Crawford Hoops to the promised land. After an 82-44 blowout victory over Brazosport earlier this week—which extended the team’s record to 31-6 on a 22-game winning streak—the Chargers make their pivotal debut at the Alamodome, seizing the chance to claim the Fort Bend ISD school’s first UIL title before moving up to Class 5A next semester.
Crawford boasts one of the most athletically gifted starting rotations in Texas, and nowhere is that more evident than in dual-sport phenom Alvin Mosley. The District MVP in both basketball and football is a highlight reel waiting to happen, leading the team in scoring with just under 14 points per game, along with four rebounds and three steals during his junior campaign.
Balance, however, is the name of the game for the Chargers. Senior guard Jaylen Singleton (13 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg) has been outstanding, while junior Lakeevis Hunt and sophomores Kevin Green and Dylon Younger round out a squad primed to make history.

KIMBALL KNIGHTS
Shifting from a new face in the arena to a familiar one, Kimball (22-11) makes its return to San Antonio this March. The Knights enter Friday with the ambition of claiming back-to-back state championships in the 4A Division I bracket—a victory that would astonishingly cement the program’s ninth title across 16 Final Four appearances.
Powering head coach Nicke Smith’s quest for a repeat is senior Kayden Gray, an exceptionally versatile combo guard who serves not only as the team’s captain but also as its most potent scoring threat. Standing 6-foot-7, senior power forward Elijah Yarbrough combines length and physicality in the paint, a trait shared by fellow seniors Jaylin Hancock and Kaeden Oliver. Point guard David Coe is also poised to make his presence felt in Kimball’s upcoming clash with Crawford.
