Jersey Village vs Westfield Rivalry Continues

BRYNAE THOMPSON

Brynae Thompson is an athletic yet raw freshman whose best basketball is ahead of her. She and 2013 Bianca Serna lead a group of ladies that want to carry the tradition of the great Jersey Village players before them, like MDAA Nina Norman and Coco Reed who both went on to star at Texas. Tracey Ray who played her first two seasons at JV before transferring to Cy Fair is among that super 2005 class, she played her college ball at Charlotte. Then there's the Isom sisters, Brittanae and Tasha, both played at Northwestern, Tasha is another 2005 grad.

GEVENIA "NAY" CARTER
Westfield has so much history behind them, countless district titles and trips to Regional Final Fours, plus it is one of only a few area schools that played in the State Tournament multiple times. Nichelle Roberts (Kansas, Houston), Mercedes Williams (Texas), Tye Jackson (Houston) and Takia Starks (Texas A&M), another 2005 grad, were all Top 100 players. Nay Carter is a young lady I watched grow up from a toddler and later coached her before she made it to Central Florida where she is now a junior. She is the last Top 100 player for either school and the first thing most people would say after watching her play was "she has a jumper like a boy"
KYLAH JONES & BIANCA SERNA

Kylah Jones is Westfield's offensive weapon and whether she's attacking the basket or letting it fly, she's a hard nose player that will give it her all. Serna is a smooth and skilled scorer that knows and understands the game and both of these juniors will be key factors in their teams quest to reach the playoffs.

K Myers & Natasha Smith

Westfield won today's match-up going away but the important thing was that I saw growth in both teams since my first look at them in the Conroe Tournament. High scorers were Jones (22) and Smith (14) for Westfield while Thompson (12) led Jersey Village
