Sandra Meadows-Atascocita's Big Three Bringing The Heat

RACHEL ARTHUR

Atascocita went a respectable 2-2 during the Sandra Meadows Classic, losing their first game to Kennedale and their last to Garland and along the way they received solid numbers from three players that led their team to the R3 Elite 8 as sophomores and a run at a trip to Austin last season.During the tournament this is what they averaged, Rachel Arthur  (15.5),  Curtyce Knox (13.5) and Lauren Price (8.0)

LAUREN PRICE

Price has shared the offensive load with Arthur throughout the season prior to Knox coming back from an ACL injury, Knox returned around a month ago, so her numbers have gone down a little yet she still is averaging close to a double-double. Several moves around the basket along with steady outside shooting had several college coaches buzzing during the tournament

Arthur had been forced to run the point prior to the return of Knox however that wasn't a bad thing because it showed naysayers she could actually do just that. It's also elevated her stock as a combo guard and she has continued her torrid scoring rampage putting up 19 against Lufkin last night. The ironic part is she's been battling a cold since right before the Sandra Meadows Classic and still has one, so even though she has a cold, she been hot!!!!

CURTYCE KNOX

For obvious reasons, I'm not a fan of players coming back too soon from ACL injuries and I was wondering how Knox would handle it and to be honest she has done quite well. I saw the future Texas A&M Aggie go down hard a couple of times and I cringed just as I did when I used to watch my daughter after her return. Even though Knox is only around 75%, she's still one of the top players in the area and at the end of this Max Preps video, she says her goal is to help her teammates, Arthur and Price, receive scholarships, that shows you how close these young ladies are
