"We had a very impressive middle school boys team this year, with lots of talent and athleticism. When everyone was playing together, this team was capable of competing with anyone. The boys played with their hearts and grew so much this season. I can't wait to see what they can accomplish next year." Coach Rosales
"The JV girls had an incredible, history making season this year. They won 6 of their 8 regular season games, playing multiple games with only 5 players. The girls showed their toughness and willingness to show up all season long. This is the first time this school has had a girls basketball team, and they made everyone extremely proud by dominating their division and making it to the second round of playoffs! We are very excited to see what this team can do in the future." Coach Rosales
"The Harmony Varsity Boy's Basketball Team continued to show marked progress throughout the 2021-2022 season as the Tigers finished their season with a fight. Overall, the 2021-2022 team had one of the best statistical seasons in recent history in terms of points allowed. Harmony of Excellence surrendered fewer than 70 points per contest overall with a 67.4 points per game allowed average in our league contests. The last time a Harmony of Excellence basketball team had better numbers was in the 2011-12 season. The team blocked 74 shots during the season on defense, marking the most blocked shots for a Tigers squad since 2013-2014. Additionally, the Tigers hit 103 three-pointers on the season, marking just the second time in the last few years and fifth time ever the team has connected on over 100 shots from behind the arc. Several individual student-athletes posted new career-highs in both individual games and total season statistical categories. Noe Arias Lopez, Carlos Xavier Medina, Roman Trevino, and Adulliah, each set new single-game highs for either points, rebounds, assists, or a combination of categories in 2021-2022. Harmony of Excellence say goodbye to 2 of their Seniors Givanny Honorato and Adulliah. We wish them the best of luck on their endeavors." Coach Milton
Hamony Science Academy Pflugerville
"HSAPf Esports had a great 1st semester season! We competed in Rocket League, Overwatch, League of Legends, Valorant and Apex Legends during the fall 2021 Esports season! Our HSAPf Varsity Rocket League team finished #16 in the nation, but was eliminated in the first round of the HSEL 2021 Fall Major playoffs. Hugo Hernandez (team captain), Christian Nambo-Reyes, Raul Parra, Ethan Coronado, and Emre Soybas did an excellent job and deserve an enormous amount of recognition and congratulations! Way to go! Our HSAPf Varsity League of Legends team finished the season ranked #32 in Texas and had a wonderful season. Emin Koroglu, Kamil Yildirim, Emin Giray Saltik, John Vu, Sergio Sanchez-Sarellano, and Zayd Madero-Fajardo came together and showed a great amount of persistence and dedication throughout the season. This wraps up the 2021 fall season, but we will be back this spring with some awesome teams and exciting matches!" Coach Demarest
"The 2021-2022 MS basketball season was a thrilling and exciting season with many close games coming down to the final minutes of play! Despite many of our players not participating in team sports for over a year, we were able to build team chemistry and quickly learn basketball concepts, plays, and fundamentals. I'm especially proud that our players persevered through adversity and displayed exceptional sportsmanship throughout the season! Go Tigers!" Coach Menefee
"This year our HSAPF JV Girls Basketball worked extremely hard and made advancements in their skillset. Before the season started, the team was not confident in their skillset because they had never all played an organized game of basketball. I told them if they listen to me this year, they will be surprised at the underlying talent they have. To summarize the season, it was a winning season to remember. Our girls went 4-4 this year which is a winning season. We didn’t make the playoffs because we finished 4th, but we beat every team in our division except for one. We played with a few 7th and 8th graders which has me excited for the future as well. One word to describe our team is resilient. We had covid issues and injuries throughout the season, but we maintained our composure and kept fighting. Our girls were happy to represent Harmony by coming out and playing with a chip on their shoulder." Coach Norman
"The HSAPF Tigers JV Boys Basketball team showed tremendous growth as we wrapped up our rebuilding year. Under the guidance of juniors, Luis Zamora and Diego Ramos, our squad filled with freshman and sophomores demonstrated resilience as they built chemistry each game. Some of our notable rising stars include Javon Pierre-Paul, Fati Kara, and Michael Alvarado. We’re excited to see the team continue to develop over the next several years." Coach Mike and Soltero
Harmony School of Endeavor
"The Endeavor Hawks MS Boys Basketball Team had a great season; our final record was 4-4 with several close games. For many of our players this was the first year they were able to play with a full team. Each of our players grew both in their basketball knowledge and teamwork. We started the seasons still learning how to play together and perform under pressure. By the end of the season each player was confident in themselves and their teammates which showed on the court." Coach Powell
"This year the Endeavor MS Girl's Basketball Team started off with a strong team of open and willing young ladies to learn the sport and grow in sportsmanship, skills and overall team comradery. Even though we weren't the most experienced team out there, the girls came ready each practice and even wanted more practices to become better and grow. They built loving and lasting friendships to help with on and off the court chemistry. I would say that I am super proud of our team overall from growing from where we began to where we ended. We achieved second place in our division and made it through 2 rounds of playoffs before taking a loss due to factors out of our control. Every time the girls stepped on the court they gave it their all, looking to achieve greatness and overall growth in self and team skills that I hope they take with them through their lives. We will come back stronger and bigger next year with their continued efforts and success." Coach Wright
"The Endeavor Lady Hawks J.V. Basketball team had a great winning season. They worked very hard, and it paid off making it in top 2 to advance to the playoffs. This young group of girls work so hard. In the playoffs, we won the first game and advanced again to the next level. They had a good run this year. The Lady Hawks Basketball Team made sure to leave it all on court each game. GO Hawks!!!" Coach Jones
"The Harmony Endeavor JV boys had a strong season this year. While we had our ups and downs during the regular season, the boys more than made up for it in the final four games. It took beating Idea Bluff Springs in our last game of the regular season to squeak into the playoffs. From there, the boys handled their first two play off rounds with exceptional offense and disciplined defense. In our second playoff game, the Endeavor JV Boys team scored a whopping seventy one points in four, eight minute quarters against the Copperas Cove Eagles. Although the team ended up falling short in our final playoff game, they went home with a second place trophy. All in all, it was a winning season and the boys showed real guts and determination in every game." Coach Fullen
