Continue ReadingI usually do an outline of how I’ll put stories together for an event however Las Vegas Aces Dearica Hamby’s three pointer at the buzzer, right past half court, gave the Aces now only the win but moved into the second round of the playoffs and this also happens to be the team my daughter plays on so it fits. I saw several players that shot the long ball at the event, Aiken Semones (The Village) impressed me as a 3rd grader while Jade Miller (Belaire) also showed she could knock the long ball down in elementary school as well as R’Mani Taylor (Shadow Creek) also in elementary school,has NBA range but three players simply went completely off from bta and under pressure at that and let me say this, the just before high noon game between Cy Springs and Heights had Sydney Rollins and Gracelynn Alvarez drop pressure long balls galore as they battled back in forth like the old days

Sydney Rollins-PG-Cy Springs-I asked her if her name was spelled with an I or Y and she responded Y and my comeback was because I asked you. She immediately caught it, some of you won’t but she catching is key because I’m elevating her to the Texas Top 100 after her long ball “catch and shoot” performance in that before high noon game. She’s always been solid however not only showing up in the clutch and wanting it is only superseded by her ability to do all day

Gracelyn Alvarez-PG-Heights- I’ve been watching her do some amazing things over the years, her first Tip Sheet was when she was when she was in the 6th grade but she had range even then. She’s worked to not only extend but mix it up and watching her drop consecutive shots from deep over and over in the just before high noon game was something to see, She creates off the dribble so well that she keeps defenders guessing and incorporating the step back with the three is priceless
Makayla GreenMakayla Green-G-Manvel- I’ve watched this young lady drop the long ball for years, the exact time escapes me but there’s nothing like seeing her get going. Stop and pop from long range is special and she does it well, plus she’s powerful enough to take the lick shooting the long ball, seen her with several four point opportunities over the years, but that mental toughness is definitely a gift. She mixes it up nicely and sometimes it seems as if she’s playing around the world in games.
