Alabama High School June Play Day Highlights – Lee Huntsville

I watched this team grind out of 20-8 halftime score to be within one point of gaining the lead in their state championship game in March of 2022.  This team was fighting for their lives, as they took their Number 1 ranking into this game, however they ended up losing by 3 points to Guntersville.  When talking to the Coach Silas, that is now one of their goals for this upcoming season is to return to the state championship game in 2023 and win this time around. Lee Huntsville is having to replace 4 seniors and they have players that are seasoned and tested for this endeavor.  I first want to let you know about [player_tooltip player_id="441956" first="Limaya" last="Batimba"], a 21-22 All-State player; she is very active with and without the ball.  She can create her own shot, and get the basket when necessary.  Limaya is also a proficient defender work singhard to disrupt and cause chaos.  She is one of rising juniors that is working hard to step up in that leadership role due to lost of those 4 seniors. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Jayla-Harris-scaled-crop-1920x1261-1655958530.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-449860" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Jayla-Harris-scaled-crop-1920x1261-1655958530-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="213" height="140" /></a> Coach is expecting [player_tooltip player_id="381464" first="Jayla" last="Turner"], another DNA player in the state, mom was a member of one of the best high school girls’ team in the 90’s; Butler High School, holding 3 point shooting records and was a former Florida Lady Gator; Nikki Tibbs.  Yes, Jayla will make you pay with her three point shooting if you don’t defend her and is also very scrappy on defense.  Then another junior; Morgan Pride is a member of the Alabama Basketball Pride family, and shows that DNA basketball traits too.  She is good defender and very active on offense. Some of the younger players to watch are 2025 [player_tooltip player_id="329263" first="London" last="Harris"], which is a well-rounded player that has been working very hard during the off-season and then 2026 Kelis Silas, yes she is Coach Silas’ daughter, and plays well above her age. Coach Silas is two wins away from this 200th career win as a head coach in his upcoming 11th year in this position,
