The Pearland Hawks have one of the up and coming programs in
the city and they will be returning to the Insider Basketball Classic May
18-19. I’ll get another close look at the 14U team which has several bright
stars on the team Reagan Merkle played
with Jade LeBlanc Earnest on the CHSA homeschool team this school year and when
she’s hot; she’s hot and shows signs of being a solid three-point shooter. She
is new to competitive ball but has shown signs of improvement. Speaking of
getting better, LeBlanc Earnest seems to being doing just that and the
transformation I’ve seen since the Space City Impact earlier in the year shows
she’s been working. Jada Rogers is young in her game; she’s only been playing a
couple of years but has a passion for basketball and is learning her position. Alexis
Peraza was previously on 7th grade team, but was moved up to 8th grade squad so
she can have more opportunity to learn the point guard position and from what I’ve
seen and know about Alex, all I can say is be ready because she certainly will.
Several new faces will be getting a
fresh look from me including Kameron “Kammi” Ishimura and 5’10 Morgan Ehrlich
to name a few but I know all the Hawks will be ready to fly
