Top Performers Duncanville vs Summer Creek

I had a chance to catch a doubleheader yesterday as<a href="https://tabchoops.org/2019/12/uil-girls-rankings/"> top-ranked</a> Duncanville opened it up against #19 Summer Creek, keep in mind the Pantherettes were coming off of a loss to #4 Desoto and the second game featured #2 Cy Creek against #11 Shadow Creek but let me drop the standouts from the opening game first <strong>Duncanville</strong> <strong>Kaila Kelley-5’7 CG senior</strong> Kelley had me scratching my head on "how did I miss her" but after doing something I constantly tell others to do, I used the search bar on my <a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/2017-prime-time-elite-hoops-showcase/">website</a> and it all came back. She scored multiple ways, the pull-up was smooth after she created her shot, she attacked from everywhere and finished strongly after contact and her defense was smoking, this includes not only on the trap, on the ball but what I always love to see, she played the passing lane very well <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="97647" first="Zaria" last="Rufus"]-6’0 SF senior</strong> Rufus didn’t need Chaka Khan, but let me tell you something good, she just brings so much to the table other than scoring, which she can do effortlessly, in the flow or under pressure, and with her size as well as ballhandling ability, she created numerous problems all game by finishing after the offensive rebound, attacking the rim or facing the basket for buckets. She plays defense well, reads plays before they happen, and she understands the simple things that become great <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135381" first="Kiersten" last="Johnson"]-6’3 PF, P junior</strong> Johnson is "long and athletic" well very long and very athletic and her 75 inches played a huge part as she made her presence felt off the top with a huge block and that sort of set the tone as she showed she could score around the basket, with her back to it or facing it, but her timing definitely was a huge factor as she blocked, deflected or altered shots while also making offensive players aware she was there. She also stepped out on defense, she played the passing lane and showed she could handle the ball in the open  court <strong>Summer Creek</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="136329" first="Adaora" last="Nwokeji"]-5’8 CG senior</strong> Nwokeji has always been one of those " you know what’s coming" types of players because first of all, she never takes a play off, she plays the same no matter the score is and she makes things happen on both ends of the floor. I also have caught numerous highlights, yesterday was different as she defied gravity and finished after contact for an " and one" but seeing her create her shot for the mid to long-range, attack the rim and bring the heat on defense has been a pleasure before she heads to the Ivy League with Princeton <strong>Kaitlyn Duhon-5’11 PF junior</strong> Duhon has been creating a lot of buzz on social media, which comes as no surprise because she is "LONG AND ATHLETIC" and she can play, so that fits the majority of the over 1400 college and universities profiles, and when you combine that she’s a shade under "the magic number’ which is 6’0, either you know or you don’t but she has definitely been working on her game, she scored multiple ways, did a good job on defense and showed a lot of energy
