The Class of 2026 athletes have left their mark on their programs, our school and will now take their talents to the Collegiate level. Thirty of those athletes were recognized on the April 15th signing day.

This issue will spotlight our Volleyball and Girls Basketball signees.
Volleyball
The volleyball trio of Ranye Peavy, Amerie Bullock and Jayla Malone talents shined all season.
“All the girls played major roles on our team this season. They were all starters and received accolades,” Head Coach Adams said.
Peavy was the team Captain and team leader in Kills and Blocks this season. She earned 1st Team All-District Accolades, THSCA All-Academic Team, 16-6A All -District Academic Team and was selected to play in the 2025 GHVCA Volleyball All Star Game. She signed to play for Virginia State University.
Her favorite volleyball memory was when they went to Chili’s as a team and later went to the Nike outlet. She looks forward to playing with a new team, making new friends, winning more games, and just having fun in college. In 10 years, she plans to start her own real estate business while pursuing a mechanical engineering career.
Bullock played a pivotal role as the Lady Panther’s setter. She earned 2nd team All-District accolades as well as THSCA All-State Academic and 16-6A All-District Academic selection. She will play for Tuskegee University in Alabama. Her favorite volleyball memory at Springs was the 2024 CFISD/Katy tournament, where the team earned 2nd place.
In college, she looks forward to playing volleyball at a higher level with equally dedicated players. In 10 years, she sees herself as a veterinarian for small animals while coaching volleyball on the side.
While Malone was one of the most outstanding hitters this season to earn Honorable Mention All District selection and 16-6A All Academic selection. Malone will play at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania.
“My favorite memory is when we got second place in a close match against Humble my sophomore year,” Malone said.” What I am most looking forward to is improving my skills, becoming the top player at my position, and fully enjoying the college experience.”
In ten years, she sees herself working as a digital marketer, promoting athletic wear for well-known athletes and becoming the go-to person for sports promotions.
Girls Basketball
Girls basketball posted an undefeated run through district, reaching Regional Finals again this season and signees Tamiah Harrison and Deliyah El Amin were a huge part of the success.
“Both signed. Both earned it. Both made this a memorable season. The standard is the standard because players like them do whatever it takes,” Coach Rodgers said.” I’m going to miss both tremendously.”
Harrison will showcase her talents at Trinity Valley Community College in Athen, Texas.
According to Rodgers, Tamiah “Vegas” is one of the best defensive guards she ever coached. “This year, she added an offensive bag that took her game to another level earning Defensive Player of the Year in our district, and Greater Houston Area -All Star Team.”
Harrison accomplished many milestones during her senior season including reaching 1,000 career points and the school record for 15 steals in a game. She was the team leader in steals and in the top three of every offensive category.
Her favorite Springs memory is going to New York for a basketball trip.
In college, she looks forward to meeting new people and learning how to become an adult and being on her own. In ten years, she sees herself having a successful clothing brand and just being happy in life.
El Amin will play at Labette Community College in Parsons, Kansas. She left it all on the floor this season being named First Team All-District and Coach Rodgers said, “It was definitely earned. Not given.”
She explains Deliyah came in with one goal: to get better and earn an opportunity to play in college. “She worked for everything and when the opportunity came, she was ready. Her game elevated because of her work ethic.”
El Amin’s stats this season include being second in rebounds and third in points, steals and blocks to aid her team’s path back to Regionals.
“My favorite basketball memory was going to basketball practice in our Halloween costumes,” she said.” I cannot wait to meet my college team and play at the next level.”
In ten years, she sees herself working her dream job as a CRNA.
