The biggest problem for Cy Ranch will be replacing Kiki Devane. Enter the Sydney Coleman era as she is probably one of the best players you may not have heard of however this 2014 GPR Watch List player will be known far and wide by the team she graduates. Playing JV last year due to transfer rules, she is ready for center stage at Cy Ranch where she will team up with a player you probably have heard of, Cienna Rivera, not to mention Kristen Kech and Ashlyn Wieman.
Brettney Branch and Taylor Longley have their backpacks loaded and are ready to go as the once fabulous freshmen duo enter their junior season at Clear Creek along with Amber Harris. Playing Hightower and Clear Springs down to the wire last season, this team could go deep in the playoffs.
As the country played catch-up to what I've been saying for three seasons, GPR's #1 2013 player, Christen Inman, is a legitimate player, well that's an understatement. I expected Seven Lakes to make a run last season however injuries hampered them along the way. Do they have enough to challenge Katy Taylor, Memorial and Cinco Ranch for the top spot in District 19? Inman, Jade Johnson and Sydney Buchel think they do!
District 19 was so entertaining last season as several teams exceeded expectations. Memorial started off with a bang a looked as if they might even when the District however they too had a rash of injuries that slowed them down. Ellen Anderson is a legitimate scorer, while teammates Madison Miller and Kelly Wilson provide a great supporting cast, not to mention instant offense off the bench in Laurel Carrell
NOTE:
Pre-season picks or rankings mean absolutely nothing, it's what you do on the court that counts. As you see with the stock market, things change and just imagine what the odds were on Elsik going to state last season. The best thing to do is prove me wrong on the court, other than that.......................
