I did a preview on where I’ll be most of the day today, the Sandra Meadows Classic, on yesterday but tomorrow I’m at the Mansfield Spring Creek BBQ event which features several teams including USA Top 25 Ranked South Grand Prairie who recently upset USA #1 ranked Desoto so they’re definitely one of my must-see squads and they feature Kamryn Arrington and Kendall McGruder.
Elyssa ColemanThe top half of the bracket has several teams that are ranked in various classes with TABC including Atascocita led by Texas signee Elyssa Coleman and one of the top guards from the area Dede Davis. Cypress Ranch has 3 D1 signees, Rianne Burton (Cincinnati), Shadiya Thomas (Air Force) and Shira Patton (Northern Arizona). I haven’t seen The Colony, if TABC is correct, I’ll catch them against Ranch and I haven’t seen Amarillo but they’re ranked #1 in 5A and they’re back to back state champions. One of the states top freshmen, Zeryhia Lee-Aokuso as well as one of the top seniors, Zayla Tanner
Maliyah JohnsonOn the bottom half, you have the last two representatives from R3 in the 6A classification, Summer Creek with Maliyah Johnson (Texas A&M) and Mailyn Wilkerson along with Cypress Creek with one of the country’s top backcourts, Kyndall Hunter and Rori Harmon. I haven’t seen Harker Heights, Mansfield Timberview, Irving Macarthur or Denton Guyer, well I actually saw Guyer at the Texas A&M Camp and added senior Jade Thompson to the PGH Top 100 as well as shoot the lights out junior Isabella Earle. Desiree Wooten is one of the stars for Timberview and although Sarah Andrews (Baylor) is out for Macarthur, Hannah Gusters (Baylor) and Jordyn Newsome are still a dynamic duo of talent. I have seen Shadow Creek, R’Mani Taylor and Bre’Yon White are definitely a couple of reasons why they’re ranked
