Elkins Has Outside Shot

DYNAY JOHN

Latoya Micheaux inherited a team that had lost over half of it's offense with the graduation of Donnielle Breaux and Breanna Barnett however she did have returnees that could be major factors like high scoring Dynay John, speedy Kaylan Sanders, steady Jasmine Howard and raw but explosive K'vonna Johnson who impressed many after an outstanding freshman season. Making the playoffs would be hard yet doable however an ACL injury to Howard created some doubt

Johnson has continued her improvement and has steadily moved up the list of super sophomores in the area and standing at 6'0, she brings so much to the table. She is also the younger sister of former Elkins star Chelsea Johnson who at times played post against players taller than her sister and more than held her own which also made her more versatile as she also shot it very well and made it to the next level

Speaking of a next level players, Micheaux was a former star at Hightower and helped #canenation go to state not too long after the school opened. She went on to star at Texas A&M where she helped turn a .500 team into a Top 10 program that made it to the "Big Dance" all four years during her playing days, including an Elite 8 finish. She is also the daughter of former Houston Cougar great Larry who was an original member of Phi Slamma Jamma, you may also remember the name "Mr. Mean". Elkins faces district leader Bush tonight and is one game behind Clements and Austin for that final playoff spot. Ironically Bush has to also play Clements and Austin so they have a bulls eye on their back as those three teams are scrambling for positioning while Bush is trying to stay undefeated and win it's first district title.
