<p>Two teams with a lot of talent, replacing an immense amount of talent from a year ago, matched up in Lawrenceville early I the season on Tuesday night. Hebron looks to be a little bit further along in their rebuild from last season with new coach Christy Thomas at the helm. [player_tooltip player_id='1238106' first='Taryn' last='Dixon'] was the Player of the Game, but the play of their four seniors together was equally impressive. Hebron also got contributions from several players off the bench. Although Hebron dominated this game, there were so bright spots for the Lady Tigers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Physically, Taryn has to be an imposing figure for opposing defenders when they step out on the court. At 6' tall Dixon is cut physically, you can see the muscle definition in her arms especially after a few And-1 conversions during the game, Dixon flexed in celebration while she let out a yell. Taryn was dominant on the block, no matter who was guarding her. She was excellent sealing the defender while utilizing a drop step to score at the rim. She used her strength to hold defenders off while receiving the basketball and powered through the contact when finishing. Dixon's effort and hustle got her another 6-8 points as she sprinted and beat everybody (including the guards) from one end of the court to the other for uncontested layups. A couple of her lay ups were contested, but Taryn elevated over the defender and scored with no problem. One thing I was recently made aware of was how exceptional of a student Taryn is in the classroom. I was told she is like an "Ivy League student" by someone else's parents. Huge stock riser in the state of Georgia and she is nowhere close to being done.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Robbins has the versatility and athleticism to play multiple positions for Hebron and the next four years at Jacksonville State. Robbins has as an impressive a vertical leap as anyone in the state making her one of the very best rebounders from the backcourt in Georgia. Mike ran the point guard position for Hebron a good part of the night and did an excellent job pushing the ball in transition and finding multiple different open teammates. Her biggest strength is finishing around the basket on offense (she did plenty of that in the game) and being a disruptor on the defensive end. Robbins can lock up opposing teams' best players on the ball while also being very effective jumping into the passing lanes and creating steals and deflections. Her ability to turn offense into defense should serve Hebron well throughout the season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Craig looked in mid-season form for Hebron, whether she was knocking down three-point shots from the corner or wing or using her dribble at times to get to the midrange and pull up. Craig is one of the most underappreciated players in Georgia, whose quiet demeanor is very misleading. Alyssa is an intense competitor and is willing to do whatever it takes to help her team win. Having to sit behind very talented players for the last three seasons looks like it created a lot of motivation in the offseason, as Craig has been consistently putting in standout performances with Hebron and travel ball. I think she could be the difference-maker in close games down the stretch for Hebron, especially in the playoffs.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Huckaby has put together a very impressive career at Hebron. In the first game of her senior season, Mia showed parts of all of her game versus Archer and made meaningful contributions in multiple areas throughout the contest. Huckaby made multiple threes, scored from inside, helped to initiate and facilitate the offense, and also stepped in and took an impressive charge on defense. Offensively, Huckaby is very skilled handling the basketball and her poise and maturity were on display when Hebron's offense got stagnant. Huckaby pulled the ball out to the half court line and got her team into a set more than once when they seemed to not be on the same page in there first real game together. I think Mia's versatility will allow her to have a big season statistically as a senior. She is going to be a very good player for whatever college program lands her.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Williams looked as good as I have seen her since middle school on Tuesday. She was quick to react to loose balls, including one play in particular where she dove on the ground, tied the ball up with an opposing player, and got an extra possession for Hebron. She knocked down a three-point shot early in the first half, between the wing and elbow, and showed a quick release and no hesitation while doing so. After dealing with a very serious injury early in her career, Jada looks like she is getting more and more confident and comfortable back on the court. I expect her to continue to play well at the four position throughout her sophomore season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nkenna was saddled with two early fouls on two quick whistles I didn't agree with in real time or when I went back and watched the clips I recorded on my phone. She had the toughest assignment on either team trying to contain [player_tooltip player_id='1238106' first='Taryn' last='Dixon'] in the post. She was not the only Archer defender who guarded Taryn, but she did as good a job as anyone when matched up one-on-one. Offensively, Nwokoro showed flashes of what is to come for the very talented 2030 prospect. On two plays, back-to-back, she elevated high above the crowd and finished smoothly at the rim. One on a tough fadeaway jumper and the other a quick score off the glass, where she got off the ground before the defenders could react. She is a work in progress, but her ceiling is very, very high. The light at the end of the tunnel for her isn't just there, it's blinding and she is getting closer and closer to it. Big-time prospect who is only going to continue to get better.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brown had an impressive night scoring the basketball for Archer and showing a very high level of athleticism while doing so. She scored on turn-around, fadeaway jump shots, sprinting out in transition and getting uncontested layups on the break, and showing a very nice finishing package after slashing to the rim on offense. Brown didn't back down from the competition even when her team was down big and the game was essentially over. She spent a lot of the game in the post out of necessity, but looked like she had solid fundamentals when it comes to guard skills. On a tough night for her team, Brown was a bright spot.</p>
