Elkins Stars Land On Their Feet

Taylor Williams and Kaylan Sanders

Two of the most athletic and energetic players, not to mention the type of players coaches dream of, those who never take a play off, have decided where they will play at the next level. Elkins stars Taylor Williams and Kaylan Sanders decided Hill College would be the next stop in their journey.

After helping Elkins make a playoff run in one of, if not the toughest districts in Region 3, District 23, these young ladies have continued to battle all club season with LMBA (Larry Micheaux Basketball Academy) under the guidance of Coach Julius Jackson, one of the best young coaches in the area who happens to be married to another one of the best young coaches, former Hightower and Texas A&M star Latoya Micheaux who was their head coach at Elkins.

Although underrated throughout their careers, Williams and Sanders have overcome meaningless obstacles to achieve their dream and they are a prime example of players who never complained and continued to fight.

Their signings push the area 2012 class to over 85 players who are heading to the next level and although I knew this was a monster class, I never dreamed the number would be this high.
