Mansfield Rotary-Bowie Outlasts Cabot for 5th place

TAYLOR HENDERSON

Watching Taylor Washington perform for DFW Elite over the past summers gave me a prelude of what to expect her to be doing for Arlington Bowie. This energetic Henderson State signee is one of those kids that's always active and comes up big at the right time. She and Khala Riley helped the Lady Vols escape a  nail-biter in their opening round win against Marcus 48-46 and their lone loss was to runner-up Mansfield Timberview in the Mansfield Rotary Tournament for a 5th place finish

MELISSA WOLFF

Cabot is one of the best teams in Arkansas and they represented their state well, knocking off Mansfield Summit, one of the top teams in the tournament along the way before running into an exciting Amarillo team in the third round for a loss yet rebounding against another top team in the tournament, Cedar Hill. Melissa Wolff caught my eye off the top as a 6 footer who was graceful attacking the hole while also able to knock down the long ball. It was no surprise she had signed with Arkansas and she, along with Bowie's Riley were named to the all tournament team.
