A generational talent and one of the most gifted players to ever take a court in the Austin area, Brown saved his most successful season for his last. The 6-foot-8 forward, a four-year starter for the Vipers and the first four-time all-Centex selection in the Statesman's history, averaged 26 points, 13.2 rebounds and 3.4 blocks while leading Vandegrift to a program-best 33-3 record and its first district championship. The Gatorade Texas player of the year, the all-state selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches also earned a spot in the prestigious McDonald's All-American boys basketball game. 'He's just an absolute pleasure to coach,' Vandegrift coach Cliff Ellis told the Statesman earlier this year. 'It's so refreshing. He's always dancing, always moving. He's just a Bambi now, but he's going to be a monster. Now he's just a normal teenager who eventually will be in the NBA.'

[Stephen Spillman/for Statesman]Coach Christopher Thomas has quietly built a formidable program at the Northeast Austin school formerly known as Reagan ― the Raiders have won three playoff games over the past two years, more than any other Class 5A team in the Austin school district. Martin, a 6-2 wing who can play guard or forward, typifies a Northeast player; he's a bit undersized but excels defensively and does a little bit of everything for his team. This past season, he averaged 11 points and 2.6 assists per game along with five rebounds and 1.7 steals.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Brad Hastings, Westwood
It's not always easy playing for Hastings, a 1995 Liberty Hill graduate who just completed his 14th season at Westwood. He demands defensive intensity on every possession, and individual accolades matter little compared to team success. Yet his players buy in, and they consistently win. Westwood ― which isn't on the beaten path for most Division I scouts ― has averaged more than 20 wins a season over the past eight years, including this past year when the Warriors went 24-12 and rolled to their first regional tournament in 22 years. Along the way, Westwood and its relentless man-to-man scheme orchestrated by Hastings pulled off several playoff upsets, including a thriller over District 13-6A rival Vandegrift in the third round.
