Two of the more impressive 2013 squads I have seen happened to wind up playing each other for the Ponchatrain Championship. SME Black and Georgia Pearls have a little bit of everything on their squads and they both headed to the finals in dramatic fashion. SME's Bretta Hart (2013) is long, lean and athletic and at 6'2 , she also alters plenty of shots. They also have a quintet of 2014 players that show a lot of promise and the backcourt of Johanna Hughes and Nicole Chatman lead the attack as they appear to be everywhere on the court on defense while also being able to score from just about anywhere
Christa Reed is a shade under 6'0 but she fits the next level big guard profile because she too can score from anywhere on the floor and when you can defend plus have speed, that forms a recipe for success
Kayla Gordon was just a dominant force that did whatever she wanted whenever she wanted . Guard moves in a 6'1 college body not to mention one of the best finishers I saw in the whole tournament, she elevated herself to "BEAST" status after I saw her touch the ball the first two times down the floor.
College coaches love height and the wall was packed to see 6'3 Aundrea Pipkins from the Fort Bend Stars do battle against the Georgia Pearls 6'4 Safiya Martin however they left seeing other talented players from both teams
The Pearls are loaded with a group of athletic players that kept bringing the heat no matter how cold the gym was. If you want to see a shooting exhibition, watch Brianna Benson and Kayla Potts light em up with ease
Even more impressive is the fact that Potts is from the Class of 2014
Don't take your eye off of Keyondra Jenkins, whether you're a fan,opposing player or teammate. She does a great job of seeing the floor and setting you up and loves throwing no looks that are on the money. Throw in her midrange game and handles and you've got someone to deal with every play
