| Eryka Sidney |
So many times I've heard parents saying that their
daughter needs to be playing up however I've usually responded if you're having
trouble at your age then that makes absolutely no sense. Two more players from
the 2016 class grew up a lot over the past weekend at the Tyrone Johnson
Showcase that I decided to give them both a separate shout-out
Eryka Sidney had to step in and run the most important
position on the court, the one, due to one player being at camp and another
being injured. Not only did she do an adequate job, she excelled averaging over
15 ppg for the four games and leading her team to a three way tie for first in
the Rosewood Division (Pool A) while finishing third for the tournament. She
continues to rise and is one of the top five players in her class from the area

Deja Sonnier showed me she could shoot the wide open
three for the Houston Lady Phenoms back in the Houston Insiders Basketball
Classic but she showed me she could do a lot more than that over the weekend. After dropping
five bombs while being heavily guarded in a game against the Insiders, I watched her continue to handle all sorts of pressure
against a very talented DFW Marques Jackson squad and drop an assortment of threes, some of them off balance,some with a hand in her face, whatever, the kid stayed in a zone all tournament, while making opponents come out of them
