Kinkaid girls hoops finding success in 'one team' mantra

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Kinkaid girls' basketball team is off to a phenomenal season.

At 19-2, the team is one of the best in the state.

The team has their sights set on a state championship, with a motto that is easy to remember.

"We have a team theme. One. One heart," said head coach Stacey Marshall.

"There is not one definition, but a general term. One team, one play, one Kinkaid. It's a unity thing," senior guard Jasmine Smith adds.

Kinkaid has been ranked one or two all season, and a big reason is their star player Smith.

The Rice commit gets high praise from her coaches and teammates.

"Jasmine is a once in a lifetime player," Marshall praised of Smith. "She is our hardest worker. She makes us go. She is selfless. Everything else goes from her."
