THE EYE OF THE STORM HIGHTOWER HURRICANES Fort Bend Hightower boasted one of the most dominant rosters in Texas high school girls’ basketball this season. Under the leadership of three-time District Coach of the Year Jasmine Brewer, the Hurricanes made an electrifying run to the UIL 6A-DII State Final—their first state tournament appearance since 2019 and first championship game berth since 2010. Though they fell short against Boswell (51-42), the impact of standout players like Chandler Preston-Caver (TABC All-State), Kailee Beaudion-Foliaki (21-6A Defensive Player of the Year), and Ogechi Okeke (first-team, all-district) will not be forgotten, as the team ended up with a 34-6 record. While the boys’ team didn’t reach the same heights, key performances from first-team, all-district selections Jarek Sasser (Sr. PG) and Chase Garcia (Sr. G) kept them competitive. Both Hightower soccer teams faced challenges this season, and the swim team also hit a rough patch, but there were still moments of promise throughout. On the diamond, the Hurricanes’ softball team is off to one of its best starts in years. With standout contributions from Baylee Bonner (Jr. SS), Diana Rivas (Fr. P/IF), and Kourtney Jones-Caldwell (Jr. C), Hightower is positioning itself as a potential district title contender. Meanwhile, the golf program looks to make strides, and the track & field squad is set for a strong finish, led by Peyton Kirkpatrick, Jazmine White, Isaiah Gamble, and Jocelyn Higgins.
