Lewisville’s size and athleticism opened a hole that not a single soul could close. But cream rises to the top in any situation and that’s exactly what the young ladies listed below did.
via LHS Girls Basketball TwitterLaila Lawrence, the most capable of any player on the court had a relatively quiet game. The 5-11 forward combined her physical tools and defensive discipline to produce solid plays. On the offensive end, she flexed her footwork abusing defenders with drop steps and a nifty up and under. Lawrence even showed off a passing acumen throwing a few skip passes that hit teammates right in their hands.
Deucee Reed applied defensive pressure to the eagles every minute she was on the floor. The sophomore finished the game with 5 steals, three from reading passing lanes and 2 from picking her matchup’s pocket. She finished through contact and displayed calm leadership.
Jessica Clemons is a Swiss Army knife with enough size to guard 4 positions. Clemons length and motor allow her to patrol the court like a free safety being in just the right place when needed. She had a trio of steals to tack on to the Farmers’ strong defensive performance.
Haley Allen is a ball of energy on the floor. As a combo guard, she can live behind the arc knocking down open three or create opportunities for teammates. Following the trend of long athletic players has the frame and quickness to be a solid defender.
Sydney Savage is a long athlete that plays with a lot of hustle. She finished well around the rim absorbing contact. She showed some leadership skills when breaking up an altercation.
Alivia Wilson stands out on the court thanks to her size. Hovering around six feet tall Wilson is strong and physical. She uses those traits to make an impact on defense and offense. Still a bit raw but she shows fundamentals when scoring around the rim.
Nyah Morgan of Faith Family is the walking definition of upside. The freshman is listed at 5-7 with a slight build she’s moves well on the defensive end of the court. Morgan provides help-side rim protection and contained quick guards. The post also showed some shooting potential hitting a short corner jumper from about 18 feet.
