Arizona five-star basketball signee Cate Reese not only made history on Friday, but also had a fitting performance to go with it. The Cy Woods’ senior girls basketball player recorded 30 points and 23 rebounds in the 70-51 district loss at Cypress Falls, and became the program’s all-time scorer with 2,234 points. It was her seventh game with at least 30 points this season.
“We never discussed the record that day,” said current girls basketball coach Laqueisha Dickerson. “Our focus was winning the district matchup. We fell short, but in true Cate Reese fashion, she carried our team, and played every possession with a purpose.”
Reese took the title of scoring queen with her first two points of the fourth quarter. It was a memorable milestone because she passed former teammate, current Rice hooper and the youngest sibling of the “First Family of Cy-Fair ISD Girls Basketball”, Erica Ogwumike.
“Cate is a special player in the way she tackles obstacles, and works tirelessly to improve,” said former Cy Woods’ girls basketball coach and current assistant principal Virginia Flores. “That tenacity is what earmarks her for a lifetime of personal achievement.”
The record puts Reese in the upper echelon of athletes to come out of Cy Woods, but more damage can be done in her final nine district games. It will wrap up a high school career that also included a multi-year varsity basketball and volleyball career, and the 2014-2015 state basketball title.
“Her success carries over to all of our sports,” said Cy Woods’ athletic coordinator Trenton Faith. “She exemplifies what the 212° Spirit is about at Cy Woods.”

Astros get just enough but lose a key contributor late

NFL analyst Albert Breer isn’t buying the quiet offseason surrounding the Houston Texans. In his view, the buzz — or lack of it — isn’t reflective of what this team actually is: a legitimate AFC contender that should be taken seriously in 2025.
Much of the skepticism, Breer believes, comes from surface-level narratives. The Texans went 10-7 in the regular season last year, a step back from the lofty expectations set after C.J. Stroud’s electric rookie year and Houston’s dramatic playoff push. And while the offense didn’t maintain its early-season explosion under Bobby Slowik, people seem to be overlooking how that same Texans team ended the year: as one of the last four teams standing in the AFC — alongside the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens.
In Breer’s eyes, Houston belongs in that group. The defense is championship-caliber, with rising stars and playmakers at every level. And offensively, the switch to Nick Caley as offensive coordinator could be just what the unit needs. Caley brings a fresh voice and perspective, and paired with a fully settled-in Stroud, the Texans are well-positioned to take another leap forward.
One moment Breer points to as underrated: Houston’s Divisional Round game against Kansas City at Arrowhead. While most remember the Texans bowing out of the playoffs there, many forget they were trailing by just one point going into the fourth quarter — toe-to-toe with the defending Super Bowl champs in one of the toughest environments in football.
The Texans’ current win total is set at 9.5 by oddsmakers — a line Breer believes is too low. His expectation? Twelve wins and another deep playoff run. To him, the narrative that Houston is being “slept on” will disappear soon enough — likely around the time the Texans remind everyone why they’re still a problem in the AFC.
