Lanaska Porter (Waltrip) and Amber Ross (Australia) |
I love seeing HS teams from other countries and when I found out a team from Australia would be playing through this weekend at The Village School in the Tip Off Classic, I know I had to try and see as much of them as possible since I won't be making any trips down under, well not in the foreseeable future. The Jats played against Houston Waltrip and proved to be an entertaining game as LanaJha Porter and Amber Ross both put on quite a show finishing with 13 and 15 respectively as the Jats won the opener
In game two St Johns defeated Redemption Christian behind the scoring of Amanda Leavell and Lauren Lockett who combined for 27 points, RC was led by Lucci's 13. St Johns went up big, RC came back to close the gap only to see the Mavericks pull away again
Tiffany Valentine led Lutheran North in the exhibition game against St Johns with 20 pts and 8 rebounds while Jae Branch flirted with a triple double scoring 17 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, she actually had one in the nightcap, and Tiffany Ariola added 10. Leavell and Lockett were the leading scorers again for St Johns as they scored 21 and 15 respectively in their 61-59 victory
