Westside's scrappiness will keep opponents on toes


One thing that's always consistent with Westside's GBB program is that they will always play hard from baseline to baseline from the opening tip until the final buzzer and a perfect example would be their one point victory against Katy Taylor in the opening round of the playoffs last season to their two point defeat in OT against Cy Woods in the second round, Woods lost to eventual R3 runner-up Seven Lakes in OT in the E-8 match-up.

Sentreal Gregory's improvement continues to grow as she has established herself as a legitimate D1 prospect. She's gotten stronger and her ability to make her teammates better showed at the Greater Houston Invitational. Gabby Castillo and Janae Smith also have elevated their games and this is good news for the the Wolves who competed without several players that are participating in volleyball

6'0 sophomore Tajh Gellespi was out with a minor injury however 6'2 junior Alexis Adams proved more than serviceable in the paint. Adams is raw in some areas however her athleticism and effort will give Westside a boost they haven't had in the past. The Wolves shot an abundance of three's which came from multiple players so you never know once the one and done playoff series begin
