HOUSTON, TX – March 20, 2025
– The hardwood battles have concluded, and the district champions for the 2024-2025 CFISD (Cypress-Fairbanks Autonomous School District) middle school basketball season have been officially announced. From nail-biting finishes to dominant performances, the season showcased the rising talent within the Houston area. The season officially ended February 20th,with champions named based on regular season performance.

CFISD’s middle school basketball structure is divided into four zones: North, South, East, and West. These zones are further broken down into two conferences, northwest and Southeast, ensuring competitive balance and regional rivalries. Each grade level, seventh and eighth, features both ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams, creating four distinct divisions for both boys’ and girls’ basketball.This structure mirrors the organization seen in many high school athletic programs across Texas, providing a solid foundation for future athletes.
