Acadiana Stars shine bright winning #IBC Varsity Division

Okay I'm checking out the roster and the picture and it appears someone missed the photo-shoot however that's about all the Acadiana Stars missed as they came to Houston and definitely put a smile on my face because the only thing I love more than watching new talent is watching young new talent and trust me, this team is loaded with college prospects.prospects. Janaziha Cormier is the lobe 2019 on this talented 2018 squad and with her size, she's around that magic number of 6'0, strength and physicality, she'll have have more than her share of colleges interested because this young lady has some stuff for you in the paint


Cormier has some help in the paint with Jeanie Champ and Amari Collins. Champ has the right last name because she backs down from no one, she too can be physical on both ends and defend and with that being said, Collins has the right initials because whatever heat you bring to AC, she's ready to cool you off. She's smooth on the inside, she can go hard or use finesse but her body control and midrange game certainly impressed me



The guards are just full of energy and when you have an abundance of players that can bring it so you that have much of a let down, that's a huge plus. Jakatlyn Matthews and Ava Jones are almost the same type of players, they press, play the passing lanes and see the floor extremely well but with their speed, you better be able to have your own AC cause that pressure is smothering. I haven't seen many back-courts that brought type of energy as well as acrobatics and athleticism as good as this one, keep in mind they're only freshmen and both have upside


When you talk about the glue, Chrissy Brown just keeps things together because she can score outside or off the dribble and she can defend but whenever I was around and a big play was needed, she came through either offensively or defensively and speaking of defense whether it was Bethany Lazard or Ashley Prejean filling in someone's spot or Isha Rasheed or Brittney Smith, they simply got the job done as a team
