DFW Fall Finish-San Antonio's Guards Are Second To None


Desiree Caldwell is only in the 6th grade and although I won't put pressure on her, yet, I do some things that show me she will be someone to keep an eye on. First of all, her sister is one of the top guards in the country and more times than not, the younger ones are around the game so much at an earlier age, they get to observe things many kids that are young as they are don't. The first thing I noticed about Desiree was her handles and she brought the house down as she exploded to the basket for a floater between to defenders. No, it didn't go in but it will! The main thing about what she did was the fact that she's playing on an 8th grade team that was playing against older players.


Amber Ramirez could start on many high school teams right now and when you see her vision, her court sense and of course, her flair for the game as she sometimes looks like a magician with the ball, you'll know your watching the kid develop into a prime time player right before your eyes. These guards are from around the San Antonio area and they are only a few. I've talked about several of the kids over the summer, the Rohawks, Hoyas and Xpress, all have shown that next level talent is out there from the area, you just have to know where to look and my next story on the Sophia Young team is a perfect example.
