| ASHLYN MASON |
I've mentioned that the Houstonians are one of the oldest and most respected clubs in the area and was around before I even started and their alumni reads like a Who's Who of players like Nina Norman (Texas), the first McDonald's All American from the area who played in the first girl's game and Lindsey Harding (Duke) who starred in the WNBA for years and they are only a tip of the iceberg and I won't waste a lot of time typing information because the sad part is what I'm seeing now is that parents and players are buying into useless BS and erroneous information but what do I know? Well I know talent and talent is definitely everywhere and my first trip to HTX Gym for the Houstonians event let me catch up with some I had already seen and observe their progression as well as a good look at some new up and comers but here are a few I caught on Championship Sunday

| MIKAYLA GREEN & TAMILA SINGLETON |
Ashlyn Mason (Friendswood) powerful body, runs the floor and is effective scoring on the inside. Nice hands and footwork, rebounded well on both ends
Georgia Smith (Cy Fair Premier Gray) one of several guards on squad that attacked well, she created in traffic and knocked down the midrange
Mikayla Green (Texas Elite Stars Burroughs) strong body, attacks hard and can finish after contact, also can shoot the long ball and that's catch and shoot
Tamila Singleton (Houston Lady Dominators) one of those "never takes a play off" types of player, tons of energy, attacks from everywhere and defends baseline to baseline
Niyah Johnson (HTX Fire 2022) long and athletic, shows me something new every time I see her, battles for everything off the glass and finishes
Jailyn Brackens (DFW Jeff) one of many athletic players on squad, she attacks strong from the wing and finishes strong after contact. Plays hard defense

| GWENDLYN MCGREW |
Gwendlyn McGew (B4D1) strong body, size, doesn't mind physicality, either giving or taking, very active on the court, rebounds and has good upside
Alynna Garcia (Houstonians) creates shot and that's either the mid or long range, athletic, handles ball in traffic, plays defense well
Arkysia Garrett (Houston Elite Black) shows signs of explosiveness, nice first step and get not only get to the basket with ease, she also defends
Kendal Valois(BDA 15U) heady guard that makes plays, creates for herself and teammates, nice mid to long range shooter, handles ball under pressure
Keeley Cummings (Skyrise Mike) don't know who has the Tip Sheet record but the way KC is playing, the Sunshine is definitely bright and many probably didn't catch the play on words but Cummings play on the court sometimes leaves me at a loss for words as her upside is pretty high. She understands the game and can score in bunches if needed
