John Curtis Dominates in a Defining 1st District Victory

District play is where teams start to show who they really are, and John Curtis wasted no time making their identity clear. From the opening tip, the energy, effort, and togetherness were impossible to miss. The Patriots jumped out early, fed off their defense, and never let up, cruising to a 74–20 district win over Warren Easton. This game felt less like a single night performance and more like a preview of what John Curtis can be when everyone is locked in, playing for each other, and enjoying the moment.    Bailey played with the kind of edge that changes the tone of a game. Every loose ball, every pass in the air, every one-on-one matchup—Bailey wanted it all. Her defensive effort wasn't just about steals; it was about pride. She hounded ball handlers, jumped passing lanes, and turned effort plays into momentum-shifting moments. What stood out most was how quickly she turned defense into offense; finishing plays she created herself. Bailey's 13 points, 8 steals, and 5 rebounds reflect her impact, but her hustle and intensity were felt on every possession and lifted the energy of the entire team.     Ke'Sonja brought calm and confidence to the floor, playing with the poise of someone who fully understands the moment. She didn't force anything—she simply made the right play over and over again. Ke'Sonja saw the floor beautifully, delivering passes right on time and exactly where her teammates needed them. When the game sped up, she slowed it down. When it was time to attack, she led the charge. Finishing with 11 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds, her biggest contribution was leadership—keeping everyone connected and making sure the offense ran smoothly from start to finish.     Jayla was in her zone all night, and it was obvious early on. She played with confidence, patience, and a scorer's mentality, getting to her spots and making tough shots look routine. No matter what Warren Easton tried, Jayla had an answer. She attacked off the dribble, finished through contact, and stayed aggressive without forcing the issue. Beyond the points, her defensive effort and rebounding showed her all-around commitment to the game. Jayla poured in 24 points, added 5 rebounds and 4 steals, and played with a joy and freedom that made her performance even more fun to watch.     Janiyah brought nonstop energy and was always one step ahead in transition. She sprinted the floor, filled lanes, and consistently turned defensive stops into easy buckets. What made her night special was her awareness—sometimes she was the finisher, other times she was the one making the perfect pass to a teammate streaking down the court. Janiyah played selflessly, letting the game come to her while still making a major impact. Her 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists showcased her versatility and willingness to do whatever the team needed to win.     Raven was the backbone of the defense, doing the hard work that often goes unnoticed. She battled in the paint, pulled down tough rebounds, and made sure Warren Easton had to work for everything they got. Raven's physicality and presence gave her teammates confidence to pressure the ball, knowing she was holding things down inside. She may not have filled up the stat sheet, but her effort, toughness, and consistency were crucial in holding Warren Easton to just 20 points. Raven's impact was felt in the way the Patriots controlled the game from start to finish.
