One of the definitions of an EMPRESS is "the woman ruler of an empire". Since Duncanville brings so much history to the table in Texas Girl's Basketball, I guess they could be considered an empire. I also imagine after the performance Empress Davenport (Texas) put on this weekend, she can definitely be considered a ruler. Duncanville was clicking on all cylinders at the Texas Invitational and Davenport was a big reason why. She is only one of many weapons however her versatility was the deciding factor and I was EMPRESSED to say the least
Kiara Perry also played huge over the weekend, doing things that normally don't come up in the box score but prove to be valuable once it is all said and done. This was the best game I have seen all season, hands down and the type of game our area needs to generate more fan interest. Here's a link to more on the Panthers on the Girlz Prep Report website.
I wouldn't be surprised to see both of these teams in Austin but it's early and to be honest, you never know what's going to happen in February. More on the teams and individual players from the Texas Invitational along with my first looks at Elsik, Hightower, Manvel and Dekaney, along with why a couple of sensational sophomores are turning out to be the best area players this season.
