<p>The west side of the state was on and poppin Tuesday night. Our ladies took the court against district opponents (not all, but some), looking to get a foothold in the standings kicking off in week 4. Competition was fierce, yet the strong prevailed. Through execution, poise, patience, and grinding it out, PGH Tennessee wanted to give out some props to some young ladies who had an excellent performance.</p>

She was a thorn in her opponent's side. Knocking down 3 balls, hitting open js, getting to the rim, crashing the boards. She was all over the court. This young lady plays the game with energy. Special talent for the business school.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='290727' first='Anna' last='Lee Avery'] (6'0/G/Jr./ Houston)</strong>- This ballplayer was a finisher all game long Tuesday night. Dropped 28 points in a spectacular effort. She was a beast from all levels of the floor last night. She had the hot hand, and boy was she on it. Anna Lee is growing as a ball player. Every time she steps on the floor, her confidence continues to grow. Look for her to be a big piece of the Houston attack moving forward this season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496304' first='Daejah' last='Richmond'] (5'9/CG/Sr./ FACS)</strong>- This combo guard was tough Tuesday night. Dropping 25 against St. George's. Her game was flawless, as she got the rim and hit the open jumper continuously. SEMO got a steal in this young lady as she is a two way player who prides herself not only on offense, but on the defensive end as well. Super talent who is getting it down early on in the season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485997' first='Aaliyah' last='Converse'] (5'7/CG/Jr./ St. George's)</strong>- Dropped 37 points for the Gryphons in a losing effort on Tuesday night. Aaliyah was the fireball for her squad, playing with energy and effort on both ends of the floor. Knocking down shots from all over, she was the go-getter for her club as they battled it out. Though the ending wasn't what they hoped, this program has a true star in Ms. Converse.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='399926' first='Emmie' last='Moore'] (5'9/F/Sr./Fayette Academy)</strong>- Energetic player who plays through multiple efforts. She was a beast in the paint, knocking down 37 points on Tuesday night. A finisher who has nice moves around the block, she anticipates will as she creates 2nd and 3rd chance shots for her club. Does the little things right, her scrappiness allows her to always be in attack mode on the offensive end. Defensively, she's a great rebounder, communicator , and isn't afraid to get after loose balls. Great talent who is poised to have a tremendous senior season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490590' first='Sydnei' last='Marshall'] (5'8/G/ Sr./ Fayette-Ware)</strong>- Major talent who got after it last night. Dropped 21 as she led her club to victory. Not only was she finishing by putting the ball in the net, she grabbed 4 boards and 4 steals in route towards her club's victory. Keep Sydnei in mind as she continues to display why she is a big deal on the west side of the state. A multi-level scoring threat who's gonna battle it out every time she steps on the floor.<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='399909' first='Shun' last='Bobo'] (6'1/G/Sr./ Trezevant)</strong>- Was on it last night as she led her club with 23 points. Great inside out player whose presence around the rim is tough to deal with. Athletic with size, she finished possessions for her club multiple times in clutch situations. Her ability to handle pressure and play with poise, allowed her club to grab a victory from Millington early on in the season. Shun and her sister transferred to Trezevant earlier this year. Look for her and her sis to bring a 1-2 punch to a talented squad.</p>
