Pre-Season Show Off Camp 2009 Report II

The 2012 class was dominated by explosive combo guards. Because of her height, Alexis Hardaway (H.W. Byers (MS), 6'0, G/F) can play multiple positions. She can post down low, lead a fast break and defend on the perimeter. Bianca Cage (Southwind, 5'8, G) can knock down 3s but it was her active defensive skills that stood out. She picked up full court, deflected passes, anticipated passes and stole them. Cornelia Fondren (Overton, 5'9, PG) knows only one level of energy and speed: HIGH. This young lady is going to leave it all on the floor; defending, dishing, rebounding and knocking down the trey. Erika Sisk (Oxford (MS), 5'3, PG) is small in statue but plays big. She is fast up the court either in speed or advancing the ball. She can knock down the threes and has great vision in setting up teammates. LeMetria Dunn (Whitehaven, 5'4, PG) missed all of last season but has not loss a step. She is still explosive at getting up the court and to the rack. Other 2012 notables: Arkela Ware-Jones (Overton, 5'4, G), Jasmine Stafford Overton, 5'9, G), Kathryn Allen (Germantown, 5'8, G), Logan Hammonds (Arlington, 6'0, G/F).

The 2013 class featured scorers. Kiandria Patterson (Columbus (MS), 5'8, PG) is a lefty with long range and a nice stroke. Madison Luckett (St. Benedict, 6'1, F) can not be left open because she is automatic from short range. Teresa Mays (Wooddale, 5'6, G) is smooth. She has the ability to go left or right, get to the basket and hit the long range shots.

Amber Holmes (Southwind, 5'2, PG) was not shy at displaying her quickness, getting shots, distributing the ball and showing her NBA range. Khadejah Stevens (Craigmont, 5'10, F) showed in her second game that she can dominate the board pulling down 11 rebounds. Shandricka Sessom (Galena (MS), 5'7, PG) is long and athletic. She goes left and right and has good anticipation skills. Tia Wooten (Snowden, 5'9, G/F) is Miss Coast to Coast.

Breion Douglas (Germantown, 5'7, G) came alive in her second game scoring a camp high 17 points. She showed her range hitting 3 three pointers and hustled her way to 7 rebounds and several stick backs. Desiree Phillips (Manassas, 5'11, G/F) is full of power. She loves to shoot the 3 but does not mind penetrating and rebounding. Erica Ousley (Fairley, 5'6, G) is an aggressive guard.
