Lady Natives- 5th/6th Grade Battle On The Plainz II



The Lady Natives were competitive and fought hard, this is one of the things I look for when evaluating younger players. I'm a REAL EVALUATOR, no sleight of hand tricks and I know what I see and that's plenty of potential as well as upside for this squad, here ya go

2029

Reyana Robinson-5'1 (Bogue Chitto Elementary) plays within herself and did a good job defending and seeing the floor

La Taysia Hickman-5'1 (Standing Pine Elementary) handled the ball under pressure and scored off the dribble plus her court vision was nice and she played the passing lane 

Chyler Thomas- 5'3 (Conehatta Elementary) handled the ball well in the open court, she even showed a nice crossover going full speed

2030

Kaidence Thompson-5'4 (Tucker Elementary) understands positioning and not only rebounded on both ends but ran the floor. She also defended well

Kazelyn Farmer-5'1 (Pearl River Elementary) plays within herself, understands how and when to switch, and did a good job defending "on the ball" 

Greatone Ben-4'4 (Tucker Elementary) handled the ball well under pressure and also saw the floor under pressure. Also did a good job of staying with her man

Kaylianna McMillan-5'5 (Tucker Elementary) did a good job creating her shot both in the set as well as in transition. She handled the ball in the open court and saw the floor

Tiana Robinson-5'7 (Bogue Chitto Elementary) is tall and her doing things instinctively, like going after the ball off the rim as well as using her body in the paint was nicer 

2031

Zeta Ben-5'3 (Tucker Elementary) her "getting after it" had me smiling. She understands how to "man-up" and she also dove on the floor for loose balls
