District 24-5A

CLEAR BROOK VS CLEAR SPRINGS




If you had a chance to watch the game on Comcast last night, you already know it was exciting. After a seesaw battle the whole first half, which was tied at 29, Springs pulled out in the third period,



Paced by freshman JoAnn Lira (13) and Morgan Kilgore (18), Springs never looked back and won 63-55. Kiara Rednon was a "BEAST" for Clear Brook, scoring (22) while Adelyn Ezeh added 13.





Lira, Kaylin Roher and Tiffany Terry are three freshmen on Clear Springs varsity which is on pace to equal an abundance of talent in the 2012 class. Houston's future is looking good!









Aaliyah Brown is another one of those guards from a loaded 2012 class.





Mileka Loydrake's return next season will make Springs an early favorite next season. Spring is losing five players, but their future is bright. Coach Crawford built Brook into a powerhouse, looks like it's happening again.




Freshman Sharpshooter Chelsea Ngo will give Clear Brook an offensive boost for the next three years, one of the best shooters in the area.


Lira was outstanding, hitting back to back threes, assisting on another and driving to the lane for an and one opportunity. After the game, I congratulated her on scoring, her response, "Thanks Coach but the points don't matter" Right attitude, smart kid!


2013

Clear Springs and Clear Brook have some talented freshmen coming up through the ranks. Courtney Mickens who is out with knee injury and Jerilyn James, I missed her game because the varsity was on Comcast and JV switched game time with the freshmen, are two of the up and comers.






Alexia Sandoval and Kelly Quinorez are two of the talented freshmen guards for Springs.



Along with the guards, Alysse Dowdy, Tyasia Thomas,Ryshanique Ball and Madison Harris, this is on one of the best freshmen squads I've seen in a long time.
