Kempner makes strong showing at #CyFairFallClassic

Kempner's Coach Erica Routt has to be beaming with joy not only because she'll have a chance to coach her already committed to Texas freshman daughter Shae but the pressure I saw fro the backcourt along with the level of intensity coming throughout the whole game was something opponents need to take notice of. Tiara Matthews is one of the top 2016 players in the state, saw her in 8th grade and simply knew she was going to be a force to be reckoned with and like always, when I call it young it happens. Matthews and Routt are going to create some issues in the paint as they're going to be able to do plenty of damage on both ends and even though both can use their size down low, both have continued to work on their games to be able to face the basket and score

Routt isn't the only freshmen that will provide another ingredient to the Cougar's recipe as Tianna Clark will crate some issues on the court. Clark is another young lady I've been watching for what seems like forever and her energy level trickles over to her teammates and I already consider her one of the top defensive guards in her class but over the summer that offense has come around and these two will definitely be key to what Kempner not only does this season but the future as well. Yeah Shae, you told me so, I know, I know

#CyFairFallClassic makes weekend #AutoAwesome

Where do I start is usually the question I pose after observing an event and usually I come up with various innovative ideas. I know one story on the main site will be about the talented players that came down on three San Antonio Finest teams and a couple of guards simply blew me away. Clear Springs, Atascocita and Dekaney will still create problems, while Kempner, Langham Creek and George Ranch are going to pull off some surprises. Manvel is better than I expected, so are St. Pius and Austin Westlake, not to forget my daughter's old school Westside who should win district outright for the first tie since she graduated

I missed one show on Saturday when Chasity Patterson went 9/9 from long range, I told you so, I told you so, I TOLD YOU SO and her North Shore squad, along with the Cy Woods/ Cy Ranch mixed tape action was definitely on point not to mention "Tip Sheet" Charli Collier (Barbers Hill) looking, how did I say it last time, #HookEm ready right now. Even though I missed Patterson's show on Saturday, I caught her and Lashaan Higgs putting on one that was one of the best I've seen in a long time when players simply took games over and let me also add that Cedar Ridge, you know what, all of the mentioned teams will be broken down this week, including the star studded group of youngsters on the Cy Fair Shock that, well SHOCKED quite a few so stay tuned

Plenty of everything at #CyFairFallClassic including

Me saying Kayla Owens, Laura Daulton and Deauzya Richards have all showed signs of dominating for Langham Creek, St. Pius and Cy Ranch respectively wouldn't be true because no signs were needed as they "Just Did It" in their freshmen seasons. The super sophomores were among the bright spots and guess what else, they will definitely be among the many Tip Sheets and or mini stories I have coming at you from the Cy Fair Fall Classic over the next few days so stay tuned

#CyFairFallClassic changes preseason view

Title made you look huh? Actually it hasn't changed that much and remember I always say my predictions are based on teams staying healthy so with that being said I Had a chance to get at least a glimpse of all 15 teams I have listed with the exception of Kingwood and I'll try and touch on each

Also not that this is not what I do, I don't really care who the best teams are, who makes all district or whatever else awards, where any other service or person has someone ranked or what someone else thinks. The only thing I care about is identifying players that can play at the next level, that's it and if those other things are more important to you, blogs are absolutely free so go for it and always remember for those who are unappreciative, "I don't seek your approval"

Heavy stuff coming at you fro the Cy Fair Fall Classic so be ready and check out the new 15

College coaches already on the '17 BANwagon #TheLastRun

How about that for a teaser title but I am more than ready to see 2017 Under The Radar Marissa Banfield (Westbury Christian) do her thing. Banfield is already a household name with many college coaches, plus she  has offers on the table and rightfully so because no matter what you hear and believe me I listen to people saying saying stupid things over and over, the game starts at the one and this young lady definitely is one of the top points in her class throughout the state

Can she score? Yes but she also makes her teammates better and even I can't sing or dance, I know she controls the tempo. More on Banfield later as the countdown to #TheLastRun starts NOW

Clark flying with Pearland Hawks at #TheLastRun

College coaches love big guards that can score, well '15 Tess Clark (John Cooper) happens to be one of those young ladies. Clark put on a shooting exhibition last night and she's ready for some action with the Pearland Hawks today

SCHEDULE

#TheLastRun Camp sets today's tone

I didn't do a head count but I would imagine around 150 players were on hand for Friday the night camp to, how can I put it, get the ball off and running as The Last Run event starts today. Established seniors Chelsea Lott, Jayla Calhoun and Bernisha Coleman, all over the magic number as well as well as Martina Rawls who plays like she is were among the top available players who haven't committed but are legitimate D1 players listed on my Texas Top 100, if you didn't who they were.......

'17 Mya Hollingshed was one of many that showed a tremendous amount of improvement as well as '18 Ariana Taylor, yeah they're both over the magic number as well but the magic really poured in when those Virginia girls popped off and folks the more I watched Shannen Atkinson and Kalla Ballard, both a couple of 2016 players who will join Megan Walker today on Boo Williams, the more I wonder why i didn't get enough sleep because today will be long but it won't be my Last Run, stay tuned and look for the tweets

She, along with 2018 Texas commits Shae Routt (Kempner) and Tip Sheet Charli Collier (Barbers Hill) are just some of the younger players I've gone on and on and on about and since they're only freshmen, well I'll be doing it even more but all three will be on hand at the Cy Fair Fall Classic
