When I give a player a nickname before they hit high school, rest assured they can play. When I give them one before middle school, my crystal ball has said it all and the first time I saw Courtney Williams, it was a no brainer based on her size and strengths at a very young age. Now she's trying to do something that has eluded her and that's make it to state. Sure, she's a legitimate Top 10 player and was just named to both the McDonald's and WBCA All Star teams but this year was going to be the one she and Mo Bedford would ride out into the sunset, aka state, after all they started playing together almost simultaneously and it would have been a fitting end. Problem is last season was the one in which they had the best chance to get out and even though strange things have happened as far as who makes it , even stranger ones seem to happen at the wrong time and with Bedford tearing her ACL back in December, that just about wrapped it up. North Shore opens the playoffs against Dobie on Monday and will have their hands full against the Clear Lake/ Fort Bend Austin winner. Williams has the ability to simply dominate on both ends of the floor, problem is she sometimes is a bit too unselfish which can be a double edged sword. Nevertheless however the season ends, I gave her the nickname and I was right, that's what's important :)
