DFW Elite Talent Pool Stays Full

Jasmine Glee, Coach Butler , Charisma Matlock and Christina Propes

Coach Irving Butler was right there with Marques Jackson when the DFW Elite program was started. I remember my first look at the team was when they played Houston Elite back in 2004 for the Adidas National Championship or whatever it was called back then. Some of the top players from the 2005 class played on both teams like JB Samuels, Takia Starks, Latoya Micheaux and Carla Cortigo


Nothing has changed and the talent keeps coming as some of the most talented players from the state have played for DFW and over the weekend Coach Butler brought a mixture of players from different DFW teams to the Tyrone Johnson Showcase and left there with 2nd place in the Rosewood division. Glee, Matlock and Propes were his "Big Three" however Propes was the catalyst as she did just about everything on both ends and what's even more  impressive is she is from the 2015 class.
