Summer Creek Ends Area Drought For State Title

I’m talking about UIL, the toughest conference in girl’s basketball, although the shift is apparently changing with numerous options including Prep and Charter on this side of the game. 10 years ago, Cy Woods won the 6A title and they were led by Erica Ogwumike, who was MVP, and 6’9 Nancy Mulkey who made All-Tournament

Summer Creek has always been a team that captured my attention, initially because we have the same initials, yes it’s always about me, but then again, it’s not because it has and always will be about the kids. I write over and over that I’m the first person to cover girls on a national level and I may not be in a class by myself but peep this, it doesn’t long to call role, stole that from “Bum Philips” RIP

Someone else who has always been about the kids is Coach Dominique with the Houston Lady Nets and I was teasing her earlier about the first time she hit me up to tell me about her squad and said, here’s my schedule, you show up and I will be there, and I did but even more importantly, so did the players

With a total of 7 former and current Lady Nets on varsity for Summer Creek, many of which I have ranked on Prep Girls Hoops so watching them overcome a double-digit lead IN THE FINAL QUARTER to bring it home

Seniors Sierra Portis, Trinty Powell, Sydney Barras, Taiya Kikunga, and Madison Mayes along with junior Kennedy Simpson and freshman Ty’Asia Young have all played for HLN, Simpson was also named MVP of the tournament

After coming back from an injury and seeing her return, I made one of those bold prophetic statements I am known for, use the search bar, I don’t fabricate my receipts are there so my exact words were something like “You go from good to great when you make those around her better and the return of Simpson has Summer Creek ready for a VERY deep run” oh yeah #ThereIsNoMe
