Blessed to announce I am now Head Girls Basketball coach at Sam Houston High School. I am excited about this opportunity to lead and empower these amazing young women. Thank you to everyone who has helped me with my journey. We are going up!🧡💚

🏀 2026–27 WCBA POWER RANKINGS 🔥 WNBA stars, national team standouts and blockbuster transfers! Here are my TOP 8 heading into the new season. 👇 🥇 1. SHANXI 🌍 Queen Egbo, Cotie McMahon, Liz Cambage Last season's finalists add Li Yueru, Wang Siyu and Wang Jiaqi. An absolutely STACKED roster and my championship favorite! 🏆 🥈 2. SHANDONG 🌍 Kiana Williams, Amy Okonkwo, Alaina Coates 7'5" Zhang Ziyu teams up with Wang Lili and three quality imports. Elite size, shooting and serious championship upside. 👀 🥉 3. SICHUAN 🌍 Chennedy Carter, Kalani Brown, Sara Blicavs Arguably the BEST import trio in WCBA! Carter's explosive scoring and Brown's interior dominance make Sichuan a nightmare matchup. 🔥 4️⃣ JIANGSU 🌍 Imports TBD National team trio Luo Xinyu, Zhang Manman and Sun Yu, alongside standout center Xu Chenyan. One of the league's strongest domestic cores, with chemistry and continuity to challenge the favorites! 💪 5️⃣ XINJIANG 🌍 Cierra Johnson, Amira Collins, Cassandra Brown Last season's third-place finishers retain their backcourt duo of Wu Tongtong and Zhang Qifang. Three new imports bring added firepower, but replacing Wang Xuemeng won't be easy. 6️⃣ HENAN 🌍 Kalia Hillsman, Kaela Davis, Shatori Walker Major upgrades! National team forward Zhang Ru joins Dong Ke'er, a three-time WCBA regular-season three-point leader who scored 40+ in consecutive games last season. Add Hillsman's 17.7 PPG and Davis's 22.1 PPG, and Henan could be a serious breakout team! 🚀 7️⃣ GUANGDONG 🌍 Dunja Buzadzin Veterans Yang Liwei and Huang Sijing lead a talented young core. Losing Yang Shuyu hurts, but Guangdong still has the experience to compete with the best. 8️⃣ SHANGHAI 🌍 Tiffany Mitchell, Natasha Mack Mitchell's perimeter scoring, Mack's rim protection and Liu Yutong's interior presence give Shanghai intriguing upside. Health and chemistry will be crucial. 🔥 MY HOT TAKES 🏆 Championship favorite: SHANXI 👀 Highest ceiling: SHANDONG 💣 Best import trio: SICHUAN 💪 Best domestic core: JIANGSU 🚀 Biggest sleeper: HENAN 👇 WHO'S TOO HIGH? WHO'S TOO LOW? Can anyone stop Shanxi? Will Sichuan repeat? Drop your TOP 3! 🏀 #WCBA #WomensBasketball #WNBA

Congrats Jakiyah, Faira and Laniya for being a few players to watch from the city.

“We want it all”

Sam Houston has gotten the job done the past two regular seasons. But the Hurricanes are hungry for playoff success, and they think they have the team to make a run. More on @GbbSam and the Hurricanes' "Big Three' from @hinojosa_david 👇 expressnews.com/sports/high-…
