Many 8th graders had a chance to mix it up with the HS girls at the Cy Fair Evaluation Camp and to say many held their own would be an understatement. Eliecia Lartigue showed me fire and desire back in the third grade and like the song, I was pretty sure she'd be a hit as well and she's on course. Cydney Rivera isn't just Cienna's little sister anymore, nor will Stephanie Gregory be labeled as Sentreal's or Mikayla Schenck being Madison's. I heard about Macy Ray and Tia Tolbert was injured when I tried to catch her, okay I liked what I saw and you're on the radar, as well as Carlen Diaz, Angel Flipp, Catherine Reese and Alyce Fields.
Jasmine Smith made the Full Court Tip sheet, so did Charli Collier who still has my head spinning on that crossover but one thing I like from all is improvement from the ones I've seen over and over and over. Sophia Ramos and Katlyn Ghavidel were just in New Orleans lighting up Alario playing in their age group, nothing changed here as they were confident and ready to mix it in with the older players
I can't emphasize how much I enjoy watching young, talented ball players who listen, comprehend and absorb what's being taught. This will take them a long way, trust me
