Over the years, Fort Bend Bush always had players however they are relatively unknown on the GBB side primarily because they play in the toughest area district from the previous decade. They hold the distinct honor of having three D1 players over 6'0 at one time, Jasmine Blakemore, Ashley Ezeh and Carolyn Davis, who happens to be on the 2011 Preseason Wade Watch List. The problem is they never seemed to have the right pieces for every position at the same time and this season may be the same but that's okay. In keeping with traditions and sayings, well at least mine, "the game still starts at the one"! Victoria Papion, pictured above with sister Samanda, was one of the best point guards I ever saw play in middle school. Blessed with speed and handles, along with the ability to get to wherever she needed to on the court en route to scoring at will, I told her back then "by the time you get to high school, Victoria won't be a secret"
Freshman Cierra Palmer is blessed with size however her best years are ahead of her and at 6'1, she could wind up being one of the top posts in the area. Expect numbers from Danesha Richardson and Trachel Phillips who return from last seasons squad and even though they lost scoring machine Brittany Smith to Dillard, her younger almost identical sister Brooke is ready to put in the work. Speaking of putting in the work, Samanda Papion's growth between the first time I saw her and now shows she has been doing just that.
