WASHINGTON, D.C. - This was the first time that Gthing attended the She Got Game Classic, but let me go on the record first and say this definitely won't be the last. It was fun to take part in the Seventh Annual She Got Game event, they provided four gym's, six overall for all 93 teams that were there, but to tell you the truth, the Woodrow Wilson site was so loaded with talent I never left accept for a lunch break across the street and a meter break every 2 hours until after 6:30 pm so I wouldn't get a ticket in the Nation's Capital.
There were some big time schools in this tournament, along with some big time players, with the likes of Honesty Scott - Grayson, Rellah Boothe, Kaila Charles, Danielle Patterson etc, the competition was fierce and the match-ups of different schools was impeccable, there were also some major college programs in attendance from the ACC, SEC, CAA, Big East, Pac-12, Big 10, you had to be there to take this all in.
Amira Collins keeps on showing why she was elected to try out for the 16 Under USA Team this past summer, she is a work horse with a very high motor on offense and defense, her physical game and 6'3 frame allows for her to do somethings that most girl's her age can't do. That's draw two tech a game, just kidding but true, plays the forward position but also can play in the post because she strong enough to play down low and fast enough to recover if she gets beat.
Honesty Scott - Grayson keeps on showing why she is the top point guard in the 2018 class, Grayson was getting to the rack with ease despite her hampering back injury. She captured a MVP award in the second game that Blair Academy played in, a combo guard who is a great rebounder, should be able to bounce back to play a lot better.
Morgan Towells the crafty point guard was playing like she was in a showcase event, running the break throwing up lop plays to her teammate. She is getting major offers from big time schools Seton Hall is one of them recruiting her in they were in the building watching what they might get there hands on. True point who can consistently hit a ten or twelve foot jump shot, loves to attack in keep the defenders on there heels.
LeeAysia Williamson was on all cylinders during this tournament, winning one and losing one she was able to keep the same momentum in game two like she did in game one, where her team took down Blair Academy HS, NJ, if her defender played off her she made them pay with hitting a little mid-range jump shot, Williamson showed her attacking ability when going to the rack playing undersized does not seem to bother the 5'5 guard who has great basketball IQ.
Lauren Park - Lane A lot of people came to see how one of (Delaware's) 2019 top point guards would handle the pressure in one of the country top event's on the east coast. Other then a few mistake the young baller held her own, she was able to get to the rim a few time with ease to kick and dish it to her teammates on the wing, very fast but must put on some weight to deal with some major contact.
Jaala Henry has showed some improvement after the transfer to National Christian Academy (Maryland), she was very assertive when entering the game against St.Anthony's (NY). The 6'4 post is starting to really show some flashes of some good potential, playing with her back to the basket and calling for the ball in the post and setting screen.
Que Morrison got off to a slow start Saturday but pick it up as the game went on against Paul VI, the 5'10 slasher showed her speed and explosiveness to get through two defenders at the same time that was guarding her. One of the top wing's in the state of Georgia Que knows how to turn it on and off and sometimes she waits a little to long.
Raven James the very unselfish (Villanova) signee was pushing in passing all weekend, taking on some stiff competition in both games James held her own when it came down to that. She was able to hit the right person on a fast break in transition every time she was leading it. Superior basketball IQ which go's along with some other good intangibles.
