Westside Boys Basketball 2025 Season Recap: Youth, Talent, and a Promising Future
The 2025 basketball season for the Westside High School Varsity Boys team was marked by youthful talent, steady leadership, and a foundation for something truly special in the years ahead. Under the guidance of Head Coach Nick Agnello, the Rams closed out the year with a 19-8 record and their sixth consecutive playoff appearance, a testament to the consistency and competitiveness the program has come to be known for.
Despite a roster that leaned heavily on underclassmen—including three sophomores and a freshman in the starting lineup—Westside not only held its own but also showed flashes of brilliance that have fans and coaches alike optimistic for what’s coming next.
Kmajay Jenkins: A Star on the Rise
At the heart of Westside’s success this season was Kmajay Jenkins, a sophomore phenom from the Class of 2027 who has already drawn national attention. Ranked among the top 50 players in the country, Jenkins is receiving offers from Clemson and Oklahoma State, and he earned All-State honors this season.
Jenkins averaged an impressive 17 points and 8 rebounds per game, playing well beyond his years. His athleticism, court vision, and ability to impact the game on both ends made him a cornerstone of the Rams' lineup. While his skill set speaks for itself, it's his poise and work ethic that truly set him apart, especially for a sophomore.
His trajectory places him not just as a leader for Westside, but as one of the premier high school talents in the nation.
Emerging Talent: The Class of 2027 Steps Up
While Jenkins grabbed headlines, he wasn’t alone in making waves for Westside. Two other members of the Class of 2027—Jayden Heggins and Dee Davis—rose to the occasion as the season progressed.
“These guys really stepped up at the end of the year for us,” said Coach Agnello, praising the young duo for their growth under pressure. Whether it was handling the ball in tight situations or hitting big shots in key moments, Heggins and Davis gave fans a preview of what this team could look like when it hits its full stride.
Having multiple underclassmen log significant minutes—and produce at a high level—is a rare and valuable asset. It not only boosts the current roster but also provides experience and depth moving forward.
Senior Leadership: Keemaj Clinkscales Leads the Way
Every young team needs steady leadership, and senior Keemaj Clinkscales provided just that. Named to the All-Region team, Clinkscales brought maturity, hustle, and a team-first mindset that helped guide the Rams through the highs and lows of a long season.
Clinkscales’ ability to set the tone for practice, compete at a high level during games, and mentor younger players will leave a lasting impact on the program. His presence gave the young core a strong example to follow and added stability to a team still finding its identity.
Season Overview: Battling Through Growth
Westside’s 19-8 record might not tell the full story, but it captures the balance of success and growth the team experienced throughout the 2025 season. Making the playoffs for a sixth straight year is no small feat, especially while rebuilding around a core of sophomores and a freshman.
The Rams faced their share of challenges, including adjusting lineups, learning on the fly, and developing chemistry with such a young squad. Still, the team showed resilience, composure, and flashes of dominance that bode well for their future.

Looking Ahead: One of the Most Talented Teams in 4A
Coach Agnello is already looking toward the future—and he likes what he sees.
“On paper, we will be one of the most talented teams in 4A,” he noted. And with the foundation in place, there’s plenty of reason to believe that Westside will not only continue its playoff streak but push further into postseason success.
With Jenkins returning as one of the top players in the country, and with Heggins, Davis, and other rising underclassmen getting stronger and more confident, Westside is poised to become a 4A powerhouse in the seasons to come.
The Importance of the Offseason
The offseason will play a critical role in the team’s development. Coach Agnello emphasized how crucial the coming months will be, both for individual improvement and team chemistry.
“This offseason will be huge for us. We’ve been working hard so far and are looking to have a great summer,” he said.
Expect to see Westside fine-tuning its offensive sets, increasing its defensive intensity, and building on the athleticism and raw potential already present across the roster. Whether it's weight room work, skill development, or playing together in summer leagues, this is the time for the Rams to level up.

With a rare blend of elite talent, depth, and experience earned through meaningful minutes on the court, the Rams are a team no one in 4A will want to face.
From Kmajay Jenkins’ national-level rise, to the development of a young core and the leadership of seasoned veterans like Keemaj Clinkscales, this was a season of both reflection and anticipation.
Coach Agnello and his staff have every reason to be excited. And if this summer goes as planned, don’t be surprised if Westside is one of the most talked-about teams in Texas high school basketball when the 2026 season tips off.
The future is bright. The foundation is strong. And Westside is just getting started.
