Basketball On The Bayou-What A Premier!



I always say that the game starts with the one and watching Brooke McCarty and AJ Alix grow up before my eyes has been something special. This game, DFW T Jack vs Cy Fair Premier was supposed to happen back in March or April. It was billed as Nike vs Adidas, Houston vs Dallas, but it fell through back then so it's ironic that it happened where the levee failed through and during the rain, well maybe it isn't but it was one of the most exciting games I've seen this summer. These two young ladies have been so valuable to whatever club or school team they've played on and like Moriah Jefferson who is sandwiched between them, I have seen them completely take over games











Courtney Latham and Aaliyah Brown are two very gifted players that team up with McCarty at Clear Springs and I've already placed the monkey on their backs as the team to beat in Region 3



Jazmyn Johnson and the Gilbert twins truly stepped their games up this summer, I already mentioned how the twins stock has taken a tremendous leap over the past few months


Underrated and under appreciated, Caitlyn Diaz and Bianca Winslow jumped ship to join the Premier for the last month which raised a lot of eyebrows and should help with some of the lunacy associated with spin. Diaz also plans on going out with a bang back at Tomball High School and teaming with her sister, Carissa, a promising 2014 player herself who also has the biggest smile of the front page. She was a key player for Westbury Christian this season who will be going through a rebuilding stage with the loss of Amber Orrange and Brianna Turner


Winslow hopes to go out with a bang as well as her and Alix team with with bombs away Raven Burns to try and get Bellaire to Austin. The Premier stayed with T Jack for most of the game, Tyler Gilbert wouldn't be denied in the paint, Moriah just would not be denied from anywhere and it was awesome to watch. One more story from the Bayou coming up and that's the stars of DFW!
