After three days of play last week, Wheatley’s varsity dominated a field of 29 teams to win the 30th Annual HISD Varsity Girls Basketball Tournament.

Wheatley High School’s squad was crowned champion in the 30th Annual HISD Varsity Girls Basketball Tournament, and Wheatley’s Arie Taylor was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

HISD teams notched three out of the top four places in the three-day tournament last week, with 29 teams in all competing. Westside High School took third, with Yates coming in fourth. Cy-Lake High School from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD notched the second-place spot.
