Klein Forest is picked by many as well as me to make a run this season and I know what Eisenhower is capable of doing so with proximity, this was a no brainier. Like most opening day games, this one wasn't pretty,easy shots missed, turnovers and fouls dominated most of the first game and a combined 13 points in the third sort of gives you an idea however one thing I know is that both teams are better than they played and come February is truly all that matters
Jonisha Jacks was virtually unstoppable in the first half as she scored 10 points and probably had close to 10 rebounds for Ike who jumped out to a 10 -7 lead midway through the opening quarter, Ekiya Gray with six of those seven points. Jalea Preston's three tied the game at 12 and another gave a 15-14 lead after one. One thing about KF is that they have firepower from everywhere and Regina Scott took over in the second quarter. Scott and Johnson happen to be two of the best 5-9 posts in the city and both mad their presence felt throughout the opening half
Scott injured her finger and didn't return in the second half and after appeared KF was going to run off with it, Sonerka White and Shaqueria Debose caught fire for Ike. White is a smooth scorer that can shoot the long ball and get to the hole while Debose simply got wherever she wanted to on the floor whenever she wanted . Destiny Vincent and Tiara Marbley showed a lot of improvement and more importantly confidence as there energy throughout the game made things happen
