Pin Oak Tournament 7th grade standouts

One thing about Pershing is they have had plenty of talented players this century and one of the winningest programs in HISD. Jasmine Hartman (Oklahoma) Tammara Marion (SFA) Ryan Bradley (Houston) and the list goes on and on but seeing a new group led by Jasmine Timmons and Sarah Gregory definitely brought back memories.

Jasmine Timmons-P (Pershing) good size,  finishes strong and rebounds on both ends and that old saying"you can't teach size" works when you can play

Sarah Gregory-G (Pershing) as much as I liked her in The South a few months ago, she left me speechless at times because of her energy, creating her shot and range. She attacks from everywhere and guess what plays the passing lane

Vincent (Beaumont) had several players on both teams but one guard stood out and I apologize but I forgot her name, so I'll correct Charlese Jones later if I get it. One thing is for certain, she definitely gets it with high octane pressure and can score

Anna Sophia's brother has got to be her biggest fan and the #sizedontmatter guard stood out early for Tanglewood. Her ball-handling is very good at this stage, she zig-zags through traffic effortlessly and sees the floor well but when you can attack and make the pass, at this stage....

 Chloe Williams and Breyonna Davis stood out on Plummer's 7th grade for numerous reasons as they're ahead of the game in this era. Williams has a "scorers mentality" and she mixes it up nicely from outside or attacking the basket but that floater, wow. Davis, cousin Asia plays on 8th grade and was one of the PGH standouts from the event from the 2024 group also showed she could score. The midrange was nice, but creating her shot off the dribble and  powering in was pretty good as well
