Younger Ogwumikes Hope To Lead Cy Out Of Woods




Cy Woods was 7 points away from making the Region 3 Final 4 last season losing to eventual  R3 representative Elsik 60-54. They might have surprised a few people, their second round victory over Bellaire
caught most off guard however we all know that in playoffs anything can happen. Gone is sharpshooter Jennifer Nash who is suiting up for Nichols State but Woods has an outstanding cast of athletes ready to make a charge. Among those players are the upunger Ogwumike sisters,Olivia and Erica who follow the greatest sister act women's basketball has seen and in case you don't know, both are on the GPR Watch List for their respective classes


Sophomore Olivia suffered through growing pains early in her freshman season but finished strong and with hands that remind me of a young Nneka, look for her to clean up the boards and make her presence felt in the paint. Although Erica is entering her freshman season, she may wind up being a 6'2 point guard. With growth spurts throughout the summer, I believe she's close to 5'9 right now but you never know.
