This week’s athlete of the week goes to Ridge Point wide receiver, Dane Jones. The senior standout was one of the Panther’s top weapons. Jones helped lead Ridge Point on another playoff run.

CONGRATULATIONS, KENNEDI ROGERS!! She has helped lead the Ridge Point Panthers to an undefeated 14-0 record in district play, and another strong season at 36-11.

Ridge Point remains the bullies of Fort Bend ISD as the Panthers beat Hightower is a tight game. Willis blew out Conroe, while Dickinson took down Klein Oak in a 37-8 romp.

Over the past week, not much has changed in terms of who the top teams are. Grand Oaks and Cinco Ranch are still battling for the top spot in Class 6A, while Fulshear and Barbers Hill maintain their exemplary standing in Class 5A.

Lauryn Bailey enters year five of leading Ridge Point and holds a 138-32 overall record in that span. Bailey brings back six starters off last year’s team, led by Lauren Battle and Kennedi Rogers.

Cy-Fair followed up the regular season success and reached the Area Round before falling in five sets to Ridge Point. As the Bobcats turn the page to 2023, they will have to find some stat-stuffers on offense but will lean on Karina Smith (166 kills) to lead the attack early on.

Ridge Point point guard T.J. Ford, Jr., the son of 2001 Willowridge McDonald’s All-American and 2003 Texas Longhorns 1st Team All-American T.J. Ford, committed to play basketball at the University of the Incarnate Word this past weekend.

IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT RIDGE POINT IS THE CREAM OF THE CLASS 6A CROP WHEN IT COMES TO GREATER HOUSTON VOLLEYBALL THESE DAYS.

Ridge Point is the familiar name, having firmly established itself as a premier brand in the Greater Houston area.

Ridge Point has become one of the power programs in Houston. Over the past four seasons, the Panthers advanced to the UIL State Tournament in three of those (2021, 2019, 2018).

Welcome to the 2022 Texas high school volleyball season!

The 2022 season has been a consistent upward trend for Ridge Point junior first baseman Travis Vlasek.

Pitching will be a prominent force in this week’s much-anticipated Region III-6A final that features the last two regional champions.

KATY—Ridge Point wanted Tompkins.

Most Tuesday and Friday evenings, and many Saturdays, over the last five months, Chris Canetti turns in his splendid suit and tie for a gray Ridge Point soccer shirt and purple Panthers cap.

DEER PARK—Ridge Point girls soccer coach Evelyn Torres did not mince words after her team’s 2-0 overtime win over Stratford in the Region III-6A final Saturday at Abshier Stadium.

Strike or get struck.

To get her team where she wanted it, Evelyn Torres did something she’s never done in eight seasons as head coach of Ridge Point girls soccer.

To get her team where she wanted it, Evelyn Torres did something she’s never done in eight seasons as head coach of Ridge Point girls soccer.

The 2022 high school football season will be the third for Rick LaFavers as head coach of Ridge Point. His goal is to get to AT&T Stadium, site of the state championships. He feels his Panthers are ready for that next level in getting there.

As the last of the Class of 2022 sign their Letters of Intent, you know what time it is?

KATY—Ridge Point girls soccer coach Evelyn Torres has a team with a lot to prove. So far, she likes what she sees, but she also knows the end game remains a long way.

HOUSTON – With his helmet still on, swaying back and forth with his teammates while the Atascocita High school song bellowed loud from the stands of TDECU Stadium, Kam Dewberry held the newest gold football trophy in his left hand.

HOUSTON - The 2021 volleyball season has come and gone.

HOUSTON - It was a night full of big scores and some thrilling finishes to close out the Area Round action on Friday night, leaving just a pair of Saturday games to close out the week.

KATY—As potent and prolific as Ridge Point is offensively, perhaps the truly remarkable thing about these Panthers is they are just as impressive defensively.

Depth and a semblance of disrespect have fueled Ridge Point’s third trip to the state volleyball tournament in four years.

KATY—As talented as Ridge Point is, and the talent is indeed substantial, it was the Panthers’ heart and depth that stole the show in a 3-0 sweep of Tompkins in their Region III-6A quarterfinal Monday evening at the Merrell Center.

KATY—The hashtag on social media is “#DefyTheOdds.” It personifies Ridge Point volleyball.

HOUSTON - The Willis Wildkats went on the road on Friday night and knocked off No. 5 A&M Consolidated, 24-17, giving them a signature win heading into district play.

Coming off back-to-back trips to the state tournament in 2018 and 2019, Ridge Point volleyball players were bothered, annoyed and downright insulted last season by something they hadn't heard in a while.

Not long into Ridge Point's postgame huddle following its scrimmage against Katy Taylor on Thursday evening, recruiting coordinator Kevin Scholz announced to the team that the University of Colorado was offering a scholarship to junior running back Ezell Jolly.

HOUSTON - Louisiana Tech just got a big, literally big, addition to their 2022 recruiting class on Friday as Ridge Point offensive lineman Calvin Harvey announced his commitment to the Bulldogs via VYPE Media.

HOUSTON - It has been a year since Rick LaFavers took over the reins of the Ridge Point football program.

HOUSTON - The Ridge Point Panthers motto is "Unfinished business" and the Panthers are taking care of business. After winning the 20-6A District Title, Ridge Point is still undefeated and rolling into the playoffs. Congrats to the Ridge Point Girls Soccer Team on being named the team of the week.

Lindsey Gage enters year two at Ridge Point, but hopefully, this will be her first full season after last year was cut short. Shortstop Jade Uresti had a big freshman season leading the team in hits, stolen bases, doubles, and runs scored. Catcher and third baseman Alexa Semeyn (Colorado School of Mines) led the team in RBIs last year and is solid defensively, while Malyn Simmons (Mary-Hardin Baylor) brings quickness and consistency. Also, watch out for Blane Simmons (Mary-Hardin Baylor) and Rylie Shipp (LeTourneau University).

One of the bigger early games was Cypress Creek facing Fort Bend Travis at the Merrell Center.

Is Ridge Point getting slept on? The Panthers finished second in district a year ago but did fall in the first round to a scrappy Tompkins squad. The backcourt will be run by Caleb Hill and Reggie Prudhomme Jr., while Matthew Lewis is a sweet shooter from the outside. It will be a battle with Travis, Bush and Elkins for the district title, but that's nothing new. To purchase VYPE's 2020-21 BASKETBALL PREVIEW, CLICK HERE.

Ridge Point made a bit of history last year, reaching the Regional Semifinals for the first time in program history. Bringing back District 20-6A MVP and Texas State-signee Raven Adams and Newcomer of the Year Ashley Howard is a nice start. Adams averaged 10.6 points, 6.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. Last season, Fontenot averaged 19.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, while Allen had 10.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Ridge Point has its top three producing players back and when a coach has 39 points and 14 rebounds per game coming back, it's a nice feeling.
