Taylor helps lead Sports Vision to #HSHT title
Joanne Taylor is making a name for herself week after week as an aggressive young player that knows how to get to hole and finish. Over the past weekend at the Prime Time Qualifier held in Porter, she let a new group know that she will be a name to be reckoned with in the city. The same can be said for several players on this talented team which is primarily made up of 7th graders, two 6th graders and two 8th graders are on the team as well, and so far the team has had success playing up
One of those 6th graders is Elecia Lartigue, not as aggressive as Taylor but she plays well beyond her years and since she's not only starting but playing major minutes her upside is truly unlimited as she does better than hold her own against the older players
Lisette Whiteside, Mariah Thomas and Tia Tolbert were among several others that made big plays en route to helping their team win the 8th Grade Grand Championship. This was my first time actually seeing Tolbert who is coming off an injury and once she's 100%, this team is going to make some noise down the stretch run
Make no bones about it, Taylor makes the team go and she's one of those players that runs off solar power because she only knows how to play one way and that's hard and I'm talking both ends. It's always refreshing seeing talented players at an early age however just by observing what she does on the court tells me she has some kind of work ethic which will take her a very long way. She has a drew minor flaws that will be tweaked with age but then who doesn't.. She's an offensive machine that I predict will be able to score from just about any way imaginable before it's done, and that's a TIP!
