Entering her second year at the helm of St. Pius X, DeMya Wheatfall has a team that could make some noise in 2022 after reaching the third round of the TAPPS 6A playoffs a year ago as four starters return.

The group is led by first-team, all-state selection Zachara Perkins — Wheatfall's daughter — who averaged 19.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals a year ago. Perkins also finished second in the District MVP voting. She is joined by University of Incarnate Word-commit Breelyn Sanborn, who averaged 15.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, which earned her an all-state honorable-mention nod.

Also returning is second-team, all-district pick Farren Donald- Wright, who averaged 7.6 points per game. Other names to remember include Shun'teria Anumele, Mila Rossini and Erica D'Souza.
