George Ranch @ High School Showcase

The Longhorns made a good run last season before falling to Summer Creek in a game that would have taken them to the area regional finals and although Summer Creek jumped up, George Ranch kept fighting back before losing 56-45 in a game that was closer than the score indicates. Gone from that team is the explosive guard, Jaedyn Dunn (Fisk) but they have several key components back that could help them make a run, well if there’s a race 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="136336" first="Amillion" last="Fowler"]-5’8 SG/SF Fowler is one of the areas best open court players, she’s long and athletic, can handle the ball baseline to baseline and has the ability to hit the stop and pop or attack the rim and not only finish with contact but acrobatically as she falls into that "highlight waiting to happen" category so with that being said, she’s hard to contain in that situation but she has a nice pull-up jumper, she can shoot the three and create her shot in the halfcourt but she defends, rebounds and yes, plays the passing lane Jada Howard-5’10 PF Howard was always a serviceable player that filled in many gaps, got hers in the flow, and played within herself yet she showed a different side at the Showcase as she transformed into a terror around the basket, on both ends be it scoring on one end or rebounding and blocking shots on the other, she was active and just applying pressure everywhere Gabby Owens-5’10 PF Owens will be on the next update, she has just amazed me all club and now preseason as she added the "catch and shoot" long ball at the showcase. I always know she’s going to overpower players inside and finish strong, after the lick, she’s been doing that since she reminded me of when I first saw her, I need to repost that picture but over the years, she has shown no one will outwork her, she plays smart and even makes good passes but that rebounding on both ends against taller players is overly impressive 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="135394" first="Savannah" last="Velazquez"]-5’3 PG Velasquez can run Madonna or Beyonce with the best of em yet her biggest attribute is she makes those around her better because if you keep moving, she can thread the needle if you run the floor with her, she can make that pinpoint pass and if you run the set correctly, she can set you up for baskets but on the flip, her speed and agility enable her to take defenders off the dribble and finish plus she has range, mid to long so one more time and let me hashtag it #sizedontmatter because she can play [player_tooltip player_id="158680" first="Rachel" last="Okoye"]-5’5 CG Okoye left me somewhat speechless at last seasons playoff game against Summer Creek as I was scratching my head and wondering "how did I miss her" yet it didn’t take me long and I haven’t missed anything yet. She’s fast, her first step is one of the best, she’s athletic and has good body control plus she can create her shot for the pull-up jumper or just attack the rim and with her body control, she makes hard shots look easy. On the other end, baseline to baseline be ready because her pressure can be overwhelming
