Sophomore bigs shine #TXEEVAL

Kennedi Lofton turned a corner this season for Port Arthur Memorial and so did Natalya Chatman so as the list of 2017 posts from the area continue to make me smile, there were others. Olivia Noah is not really a post but the 5'11 star created some issues for defenders during the school season with Cy Fair. Noah can step out and hit the midrange as well as put it on the floor but good hands and footwork gave her easy baskets for the Bobcats. I've always liked Lofton and Chatman, both are physical and have a tremendous amount of upside, Chatman offensive game jumped through the roof this season

Amaya Martin definitely impressed me as she grabbed a rebound and went coast to coast for a layup passing several guards en route. She has an unlimited amount of potential and desire and by the end of summer I'm thinking big things will be in store. Martin and Ilya Babineaux are two of the states most poised posts on both ends, Babineaux is sometimes simply unstoppable with her array of moves and ability to finish with two or three players hanging on her

Big ups to the upside I saw in Sydney Cole a couple of years ago, she's grown even more, she's 6'2 and her confidence has also blossomed and when you're that size with that type of strength and work ethic, big things will be in store for this group of, well bigs
