Jade Castille did all she could last season as she placed Manvel on her back and led them to their first Final 4 in school history. They now find themselves as not only the favorite to win the Region 3-4A, but to be one of the top teams in the area with the addition of Brianna Turner and Jordan Hosey
Foster lost a thriller to Manvel (36-35) in the Elite 8 last season. Much of their success came from the hands of one of GPR's Top 2013 players, Lexi Featheree who can and did do it all. This season, the arrival of freshman Khayla Mitchell and how quickly she adjusts to the high school game could place Foster in a very good position
St. Pius lost two D1 players to graduation, Jasmine Hunt and Danielle Parks however they have a couple of players ready to fill the void in Micarah Malone, Daryon Fields and Jewel Angelo, all transfers and all from the Class of 2013. Parks was a scoring machine as she put up numbers while Hunt was the shot blocking, athletic post that set the defensive tone. Angelo may not be Parks but she can score, Fields may not be Hunt but her presence in the paint will be felt and Malone will definitely give St Pius a boost on both ends.
St Agnes caused a stir last season with 6'4 Amber Cooper and 6'2 Michelle Nwokedi, one of GPR's Top 2014 players. Coopers departure leaves the weight of the team on Nwokedi's shoulders however she is capable as she can score from anywhere on the court, not to mention one of the best shot blockers this city has ever seen
Word up as as Westbury Christian's State Champion sharpshooter Sylvana Okde fashions the "bling"! Does anyone still say word up? Here's the problem, well a few
- Amber Orrange-GONE
- Caitlyn Diaz-GONE
- Carissa Diaz-GONE
- Brianna Turner-GONE
No worries, Okde who will be heading to Louisiana Lafayette after her senior season, will team up with another D1 guard, Tiffany Davis and that alone should keep WC competitive
Barbers Hill is going as far as Shannon Evans and Kendall Shaw take them. A (47-43) loss to Region 3- 4A representative Beaumont Ozen in the Elite 8 tells them they were close, very close to getting out of here. This season, the challenge may be a little tougher as Manvel is the team to beat but one thing Evans and Vanderbilt commit have never run from is a challenge
