When you look at the poise from<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='486445' first='Salena' last='Carrasco'] </strong>and <strong>Camille</strong> <strong>Williams</strong> who are always ready for this type of action, I saw them going deep after getting a courtside view at the <strong>Sandra Meadows Classic</strong>. With a supporting cast of<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='858962' first='Sydney' last='Durrah']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='880958' first='Haleigh' last='Jackson']</strong>, and<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1059414' first='Seleste' last='Massey']</strong>, their starting 5 is one of the best in Texas and I said if they stayed healthy, they could win it all</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lancaster </strong>pulled off a huge victory against<strong> Cy Springs</strong> and since it was my first time seeing them play, I was overly impressed with the squad and move in [player_tooltip player_id='1202200' first='Natalei' last='Munoz'] showed she could run her squad and I always say the game starts at the 1 yet<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='802570' first='Makenzie' last='White']</strong> scoring however she wanted as well as pressure from<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='890449' first='Monique' last='Phoenix'] </strong>were among the reasons they got here, <strong>KaMoriya Davis</strong> and<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='510474' first='Arianna' last='Davis']</strong> are others </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hightower</strong> hasn't lost since December and most of their wins since then have been by double digits yet when you have role players like<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='899468' first='Kimora' last='Denkins'] </strong>drop 4 or 5 from deep in the<strong> Regional Finals </strong>as well as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1200766' first='Kailee' last='Beaudion'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876418' first='Breonna' last='Shelby'] </strong>being the GLUE in so many ways, they compliment <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='385707' first='Chandler' last='Caver']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='842785' first='Sydney' last='Thomas']</strong> who have been scoring multiple ways all season.
