The 2025-26 high school girls basketball season tips off with an exciting Nashville matchup as the Hillsboro Burros (0-0) host the Whites Creek Cobras (0-0) in a non-conference game on Thursday, November 13, at 6 p.m. at Hillsboro High School. This early-season clash between two Metro Nashville Public Schools rivals could set the tone for the season.

Last Season Recap

Hillsboro had a solid 2024-25 run, finishing 15-10 overall with a strong 6-2 mark in District 4A-11 play. The Burros showed grit, advancing to regional playoffs before falling 53-59 to Whitehaven in March. They boasted wins like an 84-24 blowout over Hunters Lane and a narrow 51-52 loss to district champ Cane Ridge, highlighting their competitive edge.

Whites Creek, meanwhile, wrapped up 9-8 overall and 3-2 in District 4A-7, improving down the stretch with victories like a 69-26 rout of Stratford in February. The Cobras reached the District 7AA championship but fell 24-41 to East Nashville and later lost 38-59 to Pearl Cohn in regionals.

What To Expect

Hillsboro enters as the slight favorite with their stronger record and home-court advantage, but Whites Creek’s scrappy play could make this a close one. Expect a fast paced game focused on transition scoring and rebounding battles. A win here would provide early momentum for either squad in a tough TSSAA schedule.
