"If you are in the Houston area and have daughters that are playing, reach out to the coaches on staff at the schools in Houston because we want as many people at our games that we can. The same goes for Rice, UH, and TSU. The best way to learn and know what's expected at that level is to go and see it. Go and watch games. Ask to come watch some practices. See what those schools are expecting from their players.
"We have so many talented kids in the Houston area; and, it would be great to see them in our gyms watching our games and supporting. I know our staff is very open to that; and, we'd love to hear from people that want to come watch practice and games. We'd be very welcome with that."
