Sydney Thomas is all smiles these days however the once shy young star from Cinco Ranch was sort of like rising star star Taylor McCowin from Cy Fair. Somewhat bashful off the court, Thomas has evolved and McCowin is evolving into leaders of their teams which were not so long ago teams you needed to go through in order to reach the area finals.
Although both teams have taken losses early, so have many that were ranked on several preseason lists including the more credible Girlz Prep Report and as the two teams get ready for the first MAJOR event in the area, they will go head to head on Tuesday night at Cinco Ranch, you guessed it, that's where I'll be.

| Taylor McCowin |
Thomas (2014) is coming off a monster game against Manvel where she scored a high school career high of 24 points against the top team in the area and by this time next week they could be the best team in the state after the Texas Invitational. What's even more impressive about the 24 points is she did it while fouling out and playing less than 24 minutes and what's that saying," it's not what you do, it's who you do it against"
McCowin (2015) was the leading scorer in their season opening loss against College Park and overtime victory over Hightower, she scored 21, however the even better news is that the nucleus of the team is young and filled with talented players eager to not only showcase their skills but to show they are ready for prime time. Both Cinco and Cy Fair will also appear in the Texas Invitational starting Thursday and I'll be at that event both Thursday and Friday and then at Wheeler all day Saturday for the FBISD Tournament
