It's no surprise that Manvel and Clear Springs are among the top teams in the area. After all both teams made it to the Region 3 Final Fours last season, Manvel in 4-A and Clear Springs in 5-A, and after their performances over the weekend, it shouldn't be a surprise to see both teams not only repeat the feat but have a legitimate chance at going to Austin for the State Championship Final 4. Manvel added Brianna Turner, the #1 player in the Class of 2014 to the mix along with Jordan Hosey who is going to make a legitimate run at Top 10 for the Class of 2015. Turner brings so much to the table as she is now playing all five positions in high school and her mid-range game has arrived.
McCarty has been on my radar since she was in elementary school, her presence on the court takes her team to another level because what she does is make everyone around her better and can drop 20 in the flow of the game while keeping others involved. Not only are these two of the top five players in the state, their teams are two of the top five in the area and both will make a legitimate run at Player Of The Year.
