Sandra Meadows-Bellaire Hopes To Be Healthy For Run

BIANCA WINSLOW

Since 2005 Bellaire has seen a lot of their former players move on to the next level, in fact they have more next level players than any other school in the area during that span. With 3 signed seniors on their roster this year, along with one of the top point guards in the country, it would be safe to assume they have the nucleus to get out of Region 3

LULU MCKINNEY

Here's the problem, this season has had the Cardinals looking like a MASH unit at times since at least four key players have been hurt at one time or another. Bianca Winslow (Houston) and Lulu McKinney both got hurt during the Texas Invitaional, while Brianne Jolivet was walking around in a boot during the Sandra Meadows Classic

All Tournament selection AJ Alix has had a boot on as well, first during the fall season and at various times throughout the year however when healthy, few are as gifted and remember this is the same kid who as a freshman scored over 100 points in the Elite 8 along with the two games in the Regional Final 4, including 40 in the regional fianls

Raven Burns (Texas State) and Regina Harris (Concordia) have escaped the injury bug for the most part. Burns, already one of the primary offensive threats, relished in the opportunity to take up the scoring slack while the others were out. After losing their first game, former Sandra Meadows Champion Bellaire caught fire and won the consolation round and if they stay healthy, don't count the Cardiac Kids out
