16-6A Defensive Player of the Year: Ife Bolaji Ife Bolaji 6'7" Cypress Springs | 2026 TX , out of Cy Springs High School, is a center that just knows how to make himself a target around the basket for easy layups and dunks. In a few possessions against Grand Oaks, he found holes within the defense to capitalize on his teammates finding him below the basket as a lob threat. He continues to be a strong contributor throughout the UIL Playoffs as he is anchoring the strong defense Cypress Springs High School has overall. I expect Ife to keep the momentum going, playing well on both sides of the court throughout this deep playoff run against Little Elm High School.
