Fort Worth-area girls basketball awards: Boswell earns several top honors, more from area
It’s basketball awards week at the Star-Telegram, and we’re releasing individual awards before the reveal of the Fort Worth All-Area Super Team on Wednesday, March 26.
The boys basketball individual awards were released on Monday, March 24.
Here are the individual award winners for the 2024-25 girls’ basketball season.
Player of the Year: Camille Williams, Fort Worth Boswell
Boswell senior Camille Williams entered her senior season with sky-high championship expectations.
In a tough Class 6A Division 2 bracket, Williams and the Pioneers delivered with Boswell’s first state championship. She averaged 16.2 points, 8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3 steals en route to district MVP honors.
Williams, a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches All-Region and All-State selection, is the No. 36 ranked senior in the ESPN 100 senior rankings and a Miami commit. In the state title game, she had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
She led a talented, youthful and well-rounded Pioneer squad. Although her averages were still high, Williams sacrificed individual statistics for Boswell’s championship success.
Boswell, ranked No. 2 in the TABC’s 6A rankings, defeated No. 9 Fort Bend Hightower, No. 4 Lancaster, No. 13 Frenship, No. 6 Braswell and more on the way to its state title. Williams and the Pioneers finished the season on a 15-game win streak.
Williams has earned consecutive Star-Telegram Player of the Year awards.

Haleigh Jackson, the District 3-6A Defensive Player of the Year, was an absolute force for Boswell as a senior. She averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals to help lead the Pioneers to a state title.
She earned TABC All-Region and All-State honors and was a driving force in a stellar team defense that allowed 39.17 points per game. Against ranked playoff opponents, the Pioneers allowed 37 points per game.
Jackson is committed to playing collegiate basketball at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith.

Under John Reese’s leadership, Boswell reached the top of the Texas high school basketball mountain.
He coached the Pioneers, a well-rounded team that thrived on unity, selflessness and a dominating team defense, to the Class 6A Division 2 state championship. It was Eagle Mountain-Saginaw’s first girls’ basketball state title and also the city of Fort Worth’s first in 18 years.
