TIME TO SHINE: H-Town well-represented in State Final Four
With teams such as Grand Oaks, Cinco Ranch, and Fulshear making their way to Garland, TX this weekend, the potential for a championship is within their grasp. Inevitably, the climax to this year should be nothing less than a spectacle to witness.
THE LIST: Grand Oaks; Fulshear lead VYPE Volleyball rankings
Greater Houston is led by super-power Grand Oaks in Class 6A, and Fulshear and Barbers Hill in Class 5A. After that, itโs up for grabs. New Cypress Ranch coach Collea McKinney has continued the Mustangsโ success and Cinco Ranch looks formidable in the tough District 19-6A. Foster looks like another contender in Class 5A.
POWER SURGE: Warren leads the charge for No. 5 Fulshear
As Sydney Zimmerman (247-81) enters her seventh season of leading the Chargers, she brings back a veteran team considering all her starters a year ago were just sophomores. That group led Fulshear to a 32-10 overall record, an undefeated District Championship, and to the Regional Semifinals.
Legionella outbreak reported at Fulshear facility; lawsuit filed after womanโs death

'THAT'S FULSHEAR FOOTBALL:' Chargers use run game to thwart FBCA
ROSENBERG โ If last week's frustrating loss to Manor was a wake-up call for Fulshear's football team, as coach Nick Codutti attested it would be, then Friday's 38-28 win against state-ranked TAPPS Fort Bend Christian Academy at Traylor Stadium provided a definitive answer.
Foster rallies big to snap Fulshear's three-year district win streak
RICHMOND โ Before Tuesday's district showdown against Fulshear, Foster volleyball coach Morgan Hunter reminded her players they are better than they think they are. All they had to do was "put it all together," an essential intangible that had eluded the Falcons to that point.
2 Fulshear officers injured in small plane crash in New Mexico

One Win Away: Fulshear sweeps Dripping Springs; showdown with Lovejoy set for 5A crown
"It's awesome, it's something we talked about all year," Fulshear coach Sydney Gotcher said. "I think at the end of the year last year people were saying Lovejoy and Fulshear. Lovejoy is a brand in the volleyball - much like North Shore in football - and they have won a lot. In fact, Lovejoy enters Saturday seeking back-to-back titles for its program and the eighth overall but Fulshear is ready to claim its second-straight crown. "They are just the ultimate volleyball team when you think of 5A volleyball.

We proved our point that we could compete with any type of competition," Fulshear junior Alexis Dacosta, who is verbally committed to Baylor, said. Fulshear awaits to see who it will face in the UIL State Semifinals early next week, which will be hosted at a neutral site before the UIL State Championships are held in Garland on Saturday, December 12. "I think we're the kind of team if we're underestimated, we use that fire to come back," Fulshear senior and LSU-signee Ellie Echter said.
