Lady Aces Cross State Line at Super 64

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since my daughter, Sydney Colson, plays for the Lady Aces, I figured this would be a perfect way to close the Super 64 before jumping into the Neville Jones Invitational but I'm not sure if I'm closing it out because I have a lot of notes on a lot of players but since I promised I'd drop this, here you go as these are several players from this Louisiana squad caught my eye as I checked them out for close to a half</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Taylor Lee-5'10 (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lee made a <strong><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/2022-houston-summer-slam-hs-open-tip-sheet/">Tip Sheet</a></strong> with another team last season and had a great conversation with her dad so I was happy to see her progression on the court, which tells me she's been working. The first step was already there yet her body control and finishing stronger after contact was nice, and so was her range as she was dropping the jumper with ease</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ava Raymond-5'9 (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Raymond gave me an eyeful, well both eyes as she has UPS, and watching her defy gravity to finish was very nice. There's something about players that can hang in the air and finish that always grabs my attention, especially when they finish after contact but she also scored attacking the basket, with either hand and showed she could finish with either. Her rebounding, on both ends, was equally impressive, and so was her timing </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Morgan Crain-5'7 (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crain does a good job creating her shot under pressure and her deceptive first step enables her to get the defender off balance for her to attack the basket, she finished strongly, yet that same creativity helped her to get her shot off while being defended and she showed she could drop the mid to long-range jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489565' first='Stella' last='Allison']-5'10 (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allison also creates her shot under pressure and her first step was nice, so were her finishes, some off balance and some after the lick. She also shot the ball well, in the set as well as in transition and that stop and pop had me smiling several times. Another thing she did that stood out was her ability to "catch and shoot" with accuracy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kylan Ceballos-Rivera-5'6 (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ceballos-Rivera is an athletic guard that uses her athleticism on both ends of the court. She played solid defense yet she also plays taller than her listed height as she rebounded and scored on the inside over taller players and that gets her the #THRO[program_tooltip program_id='715726' first='[program_tooltip program_id='715726' first='WBA' last='']' last='']CK hashtag for understanding positioning. She also scored from outside, pull-up was dropped with a hand in her face</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anniah White-5'7 (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White was another athletic guard that brought it on both ends. Her defensive pressure baseline to baseline helped create turnovers but she also did a good job of handling the ball under pressure to score off the dribble, as well as dish while attacking the basket. Her court vision was also nice in transition, as well as in the set</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
