Ogwumike ready to lead #CyFairFallClassic



#AutoAwesoe is so cool it has Erica Ogwumike switching jerseys from Cy Woods to Cy Ranch, man that technology is something else but so is EO. Here's the deal, I've been watching this kid run around in gyms since she was 5 or 6 and I just knew big things were in store and she has a shot, wait, a very good shot at doing something her older sisters Nneka and Chiney did, close out her career in Austin, well San Antonio but at the state championship

North Shore ready for deep run #CyFairFallClassic

 One thing about me is I don't mind if people don't agree with me and as far as the best teams always getting out of here, well several things have to fit into place. One thing you can always count on and that's whether I'm evaluating a team or player, I will use some logic on why I'm saying it, not just because I like a teams colors or mascots

With that being said, breakdown #1

Coming up tomorrow, North Shore hopes to get out of the Woods #CyFairFallClassic


Don't know if Kayla Mack is making reservations for San Antonio but it probably will go down to Cy Woods and North Shore as the R3 representative so tomorrow, then again......

I'll break each of those teams down as the front page of girlzprepreport.com changes along with bringing you the Cy Fair Fall Classic Tip Sheet and whatever else pops into my head as we move on

This is why I take so many pics, every picture tells a story or helps me make up one

St Pius showing promise #CyFairFallClassic

I don't really get to see a lot of private school teams during the school year simply because with limited time, it just doesn't fit however I've watched several of St. Pius players over the years in club ball including some on this years team. Laura Daulton continues to show why D1 colleges are on her and at 6'4 along with having a college ready body now, her continuous skill set improvement and physicality she shows in the paint, well not to mention her facing the basket and scoring will keep her on many short lists. Scarlett Rodriguez and Jade Ball bring a lot of energy and intensity at the guard spots, Rodriguez has been dropping the long ball forever while Ball's speed as she attacks had me feeling the breeze as she blew by for countless baskets. Rechaundra Dunigan also got by players easily, that first step is deceptively quick and her athleticism along with Madison Lancelot's show that they will be among the key ingredients for the season

Under The Radar Tip Sheet #CyFairFallClassic #TheLastRun

REAGAN HEUN

I had a chance to catch up with some of the Girlz Prep Report Under The Radar players over the past weekend and one thing I have always been about and always will be about is progression and this group definitely continue to show just that

2015

Torrie Thompson -5'8 guard- Clear Lake HS (Pearland Hawks) Thompson is a scoring machine, she's hard on both ends and she showed e another plus as she played on a severely sprained ankle. That doesn't matter, she averaged double digits for the event including a 25 point outburst

Tess Clark-5'10 guard-John Cooper HS (Pearland Hawks) Left hander that can score with either along with her size is one plus while her physicality on both ends is another. Played hard on both ends and made some things happen

2016

Brittany Panetti -6'3 post-Tomkins HS (Pearland Hawks) Panetti's versatility continues to be one of her biggest assets as she not only can score in the paint but stretch the defense by facing the basket and score mid to long range. Can she play the 4, yes she can, no if ands or butts

2017

Marissa Banfield- 5'6 point guard-Westbury Christian HS-Simply a gets the job done player that has an IQ worthy of Basketball Mensa status. She handled the pressure with ease and her ability to see the floor, thread the needle for easy baskets, along with being able to take over offensively, almost made me want to go back and pay

Jade Le-Blanc Ernest-5'7 guard- CHSA (Pearland Hawks)-Leblanc's steady improvement on both ends continue to amaze e and although she too wasn't 100%, you would never know. Played great defense and came up with big baskets during crunch time


KHATLYN GHAVIDEL


2018

Khatlyn Ghavidel-5'7 guard-Boerne Champion HS ( SA Finest Diamond)- I always say you have to be able to do more than shoot the three and Ghavidel continues to elevate her game in other areas. She found ways to not only get to the line but showed more aggressiveness on both ends but her ability to knock the long ones down are already among the top players in the state

Reagan Heun-5'9 guard-New Braunfuels HS (SA Finest Red)- Big guards that can shoot are a hot commodity for the next level yet Huen also has added some muscle to her game and fro what I saw she will be overpowering many guards offensively over the years. She's also showing several intangibles that don't come up in the box score which is always a plus

Dekaney will make noise again #CyFairFallClassic


Evidently there's a lot of smarter people than me, actually it isn't, however Jaelyn Richard-Harris is one of the most underrated point guards in the 2016 class and before you ask why, let me simply break it down to you. She makes everyone around her better, she's fast without the ball and just as fast dribbling baseline to baseline pushing the ball while igniting the break, she sees the floor extremely well and she knows who to get the ball to and when not to mention she's overly unselfish and she is best defenders in the state. That is one of the main reasons why Dekaney will be a threat even though she and Keishawna Scott weren't available this past weekend


Another reason is the versatile Lauren Grigsby who is smooth as silk on both of the court and scores in droves and I don't she drove to the hole over and over, she can knock it down from outside. Steady improvement from both Masheeda Collins and Roshanda Lewis on the inside along with the athleticism from Jasmine Smith, who has turned a corner and Casey Belt will keep the pressure going along with Kalia Thomas and Kaleah Brooks

Solid Westlake full of surprises at #CyFairFallClassic


I hadn't seen Austin Westlake before but I knew some of the faces and sort of had an idea on what to expect however my expectations were exceeded. This is a talented group of young ladies that not only know their roles but excel at executing what they are told. Lexi Cunningham was one of the offensive surprises, while the Holle twins, Brooke and Bailey, simply kept coming at whomever on both ends


George Ranch turns corner #CyFairFallClassic


With only one senior on the squad, expect George Ranch to knock on many doors this season before on them next and who knows, with the young stars coming up, old Bum's saying prophetic words may cone through. Alexis White brought a lot of energy as she is one of five sophomores on the squad. Sharpshooter Julia Schwanke was playing with her club team in another event and as she now hovers around the 6'0 mark, well you're looking at plenty of offense. Kendall Bess showed a lot of promise and her being 6'1 doesn't hurt and when you add White, Chinwe Eke, Cerinethe Adam, all 5'10 along with Schwanke, well that's a good start. Also plenty of high energy guards including Haley Johnson who also made a turn this past summer
