George Ranch
Savannah Velazquez Savannah Velazquez 5'5" | PG George Ranch | 2022 State TX -5’3 PG junior
Velazquez is an explosive guard that falls into the “size don’t matter” hashtag I drop a lot because she can play and whether she’s blazing past defenders, with the ball and under control, and throwing blistering passes in traffic, in transition included, I love her passion on both ends, she applies constant heat on the defensive side and caused many turnovers both directly and directly to help her squad make several runs
Rachel Okoye Rachel Okoye 5'6" | CG George Ranch | 2022 State TX -5’5 SG junior
Okoye is smooth under pressure, I love seeing her set the defender up with a deceptive first step in the half-court set and she did it numerous times to show that picture-perfect pull-up jumper from midrange or attack the rim and finish acrobatically. Her body control has always been good, she appears to defy gravity at times and also can make shots off-balance, with either hand
Leslie Forun-5’10 SF sophomore
Forun was a pleasant surprise for me, she’s long and athletic and scored numerous times from the midrange but seeing her create her shot, under pressure, was nice especially when she dropped the fadeaway down the stretch. On top of that, she rebounded on both ends of the floor as well as ran the floor, and as far as that long and athletic base I continuously talk about, twins Jada Howard and Jasmine Howard fit that profile, as well as the seniors, are right around the magic number of 6’0
Seven Lakes
Cailyn Tucker-5’6 PG junior
Tucker did a good job of not only controlling the tempo but her entry passes to Justice Carlton Justice Carlton 6'1" | PF Seven Lakes | 2024 State TX were smooth and helped get the ball rolling early for the Spartans. It helped that she not only saw the floor well as well as handled it under pressure, but she also did a good job art breaking the defender down and attacking the basket, especially when she went coast to coast and scored
Sarah Narum-5’8 SG senior
Narum is smooth and understands how to get hers in the flow and her ability to create her shot under pressure as well as knock it down consistently has always been fun to watch. She elevates on her jumper and her release is smooth, she showed it several times but she also showed she could take the defender from the left or right for layups
Ximena Diez-5’6 G senior
Diez provided fire off the bench and her energy on both ends helped keep the momentum going or change it watching her attack the basket numerous times and score as well as defend gave the Spartans a big boost. She also plays within herself, that’s another lost art and she found ways to help her team that might not appear on a score or stat sheet
