Perhaps the hardes thing to do in basketball is score 15-20 points in EVERY game when the defense knows exactly what’s coming. Askins has hit this level. She’s a big time D1 prospect for a reason, and part of it is that she simply can’t be stopped at the high school level. She’s good enough to make this Jackson Southside team a threat to beat anyone.

Has had a brilliant tournament so far, and came out ultra aggresive in this contest vs Jackson. She scored the first seven Cocke County points. She has a beautiful stroke, and this Cocke County team tends to rise and fall with her offensive production. When she’s on…and this Cocke County team is on…they are tough (as proven by the upset of the tourney thus far with an upset over Upperman).

Niethammer was relentless in her attacking of the paint and proved she could finish through contact. Nice combination of skill and strength. At her best getting downhill….simply really hard to stay in front of.
Akira Lacy
Akira Lacy
Showed she’s a three level scorer in this game. Both reliable from the three point line and finishing in the paint. Really fundamentally sound, and an important weapon for this team. Lacy had a quick seven points in this game. All tournament long she’s proven to be a valuable two-way wing that both defends and plays offense at a really high level. Great role player.
Kitchen has proven to be a lights out shooter in this tourney. She knocked down two threes in the first game, three in the second win, and came out hitting again early versus Jackson Southside. When Kitchen gets going this Cocke County team is really tough.
Highlights
Had the float game going in this one! The Curry/Haskins duo is tough to stop when they get rolling like they did versus Cocke County. Currie is a legit 3 level scorer, and gives this Jackson Southside team huge upside. When she got rolling in the second quarter ( in the 2nd quarter vs Cocke Co she scored 11 points with three made threes), the Jackson Southside came alive offensively. Hit five threes, and 18 points, in the first half alone! Led all scorers.

The freshman showed out as one of the few ’27s that can hold their own on the Andrew Johnson Bank Ladies Classic court. All tournament long she’s been a big time contributor across the board, but had a hard time finding her rhythm against the Jackson Southside 1-1-3 zone.
