Klein Oak's new look to be unveiled in Conroe Tournament

Sasha Cedeno

So many teams will have a different look this season and as many try and figure out the right nucleus on the court in order to make the playoffs, certain things need to take place. Klein Oak happens to be one of those teams and this will be a make or break year for Sasha Cedeno. At 6'0, Cedeno can play all five positions and after watching her numerous times, I really don't believe she realizes how good she can be. Already one of the top 2014 players in the area, Cedeno has the potential to be a dominating force on the floor.

Klein Oak gives Cedeno help at #FBISDTournament

Sasha Cedeno is simply smooth as silk and watching her, I be like "WOW." I don't know "I be like" means but I hear it a lot and I think it works but nevertheless, she can play. She hurt her foot in the Fort Bend Tournament and didn't finish but I chance to see some of their other players. Randi Blackburn and Brienna Thurman seemed to pick up a lot of the slack while Cedeno was out and I'll check them down road when I be like looking fr a game

Lutheran North faces test against Klein Oaks in Aldine Tournament

Klein Oaks Shannon Hines and Sasha Cedeno

Jae Branch (2016) and Tiffany Valentine (2015) are averaging more than 60% of Lutheran North's points over the season so far and although their record is 5-2, they will have to face a tough Klein Oaks squad in the opening round of the Aldine Tournament. I wrote about the new additions at Lutheran North a couple of weeks ago and so far dividends are being paid, read more

Cedeno #AutoAwesome at #JohnLucas40/40

I kept hearing about this six foot sophomore running the one at Klein Oak and when I had a chance to see Sasha Cedeno, well read more

Over the years, she has continued to work and although she hasn't committed, one of the states top 2014 players is in very good shape according to reliable sources. She was also one of the standouts at the John Lucas 40/40 Camp and with that being said, she made the GPR Tip Sheet

Klein Oaks Grounds Eagles

I wrote earlier today that the four losses Klein Forest had on the season had come against teams ranked ahead of them. That has changed as Klein Oak beats them 55-37 at KF. This was one of the games that was loaded with bad shooting and turnovers from both teams however Oak took advantage of the boards and their role players stepped up big.

 Ekiyah Gray was the Eagles primary offensive threat as she finished with 20 points, this includes four threes in the first half. Dejanai Vallier and Sasha Cedeno got the Panthers going early and through the first half while Ana Dominguez came on strong the second half.

Big baskets by Alicia Scott and Nicolette Erkman shot daggers through any mini-run the Eagles attempted to start as they scored only 11 points in the second half, 4 in the final period. Vallier and Dominguez led Oak with 13 each

Chidomere Leads Upgraded 2014 Group

In a week where so far maybe the best games haven't been played, several sophomores have caught me eye. Crystal Chidomere from Bush is one of those players as the first thing you notice is her flying down the court with hair flowing through the wind as she blows by opponents. As you continue watching, you catch a glimpse of a bona fide offensive star in the making. My first real look at point guard Gabby Odom left me feeling the same way as she has the tools to develop into something special at Lamar. Speaking of point guards, how about 6'0 Sasha Cedeno who may be in for a breakout season at Klein Oak. If it's heart and desire you need, check out Ali Doughtery at Cypress Creek because her presence will be needed almost immediately. If you are recruiting the area or need more information on these and other players, look no further! As promised, I will keep adding and updating info on players throughout the season and their careers

Alodia Fall League-Klein Oak

On a night when two of the top players in the area were going head to head at Dobie, I did an about face and went to the opposite end of the spectrum to try and see some players I may not see again this season since there were  JV and private school teams playing as well. One team I do plan on seeing again is Klein Oak who was on the verge of making the playoffs last season as they tied Klein for fourth place but lost whatever tiebreaker their district uses.

Leading scorer and the Panthers star player, Ana Dominguez, is a gifted 6'1 post who can score in and outside of the paint. She and guard Brionna Chatman accounted for almost half the teams points last season

Another 6'0 post, Dejani Vallier ,will have to make her presence felt on the inside if the team is to make another playoff run, just as she did last season when she led her team in rebounds, blocked shots and steals. Alicia Scott, who was absent due to volleyball, was also a key contributor as sixth man last season and may see her role change a little bit this season

Sophomore Sasha Cedeno will have a lot of club coaches drooling and promising as several intangibles are packaged in her close to 6'0 frame. She has the ability to be a next level player right now even though there is plenty of upside that appears to be untapped. These players will play a major part in Oaks chances of making an appearance in the playoffs as the first three spots are probably secured in what might be the toughest district in the area.
