Westside has battled Madison and Bellaire for first place in district for almost 10 seasons, winning it twice and finishing second 6 times, which is somewhat impressive. Coach Troy Gillespie took over the job during my daughters junior year and with those back to back 30 plus wins, he joined an elite crew of coaches who won over 100 games their first four seasons. This was a rebuilding year, especially since losing Tiffany Davis (South Carolina) to Westbury Christian where she is averaging almost half of the teams points. This has placed a big dent in the scoring for the Wolves however Jasmine King has been on tear recently and in the Sandra Meadows Classic, she was teams leading scorer. This hard as nails, never complaining junior has had it rough her first two seasons, only playing sparingly due to injuries. Not knowing if she wanted to even continue playing ball, she has been one of the bright spots for the team and is leading or among the top in several categories. Westside became the first school from the area, well from this part of the state, to win Sandra Meadows back in 2007, Bellaire and Hightower have since followed.
