Sophus Leading Wildcat Charge

When I think about the Wheatley Wildcats, several things are synonymous such as 1960's, integration, uptempo, fans and most important championships because on the boy's side, they have been on both ends of the spectrum so many times however the ladies teams have produced it's share of next level players while still keeping the purple rolling past opponents. In fact their support system over the years had so much purple flowing in the stands I had flashbacks of his royal badness "Purple Rain" tours from the 80's.


Moving forward to the new millennium for my fan base, the players are still, well playing and Dimonisha Sophus is an unsigned D1 guard that can do, just about anything you need. When you hear the phrase "don't let the smooth taste fool you", it fit's D, because she has shown she can go off against anyone, anywhere and is one of the leading scorers in the country at 28 ppg, while also dishing out 8 apg, that number will go up a bit after her 39 point performance on Friday against Kashmere. No need to figure it out, that's 44 points she's a part of each game but like most high school teams in the area with top 2012 players, Wheatley will slack off after she graduates. NOT!!!!!


Ariel Taylor, above , 14 ppg, 8 rpg and Meashel Crosby, below, 9 ppg, 5 apg are two sophomores ready to take charge once Dimonisha graduates and I saw these two while still in middle school and I was impressed to say the least about their abilities. They take on Booker T Washington on Monday, a win gives them the district championship outright and off to the playoffs for the Wildcats
