2022 Karinna Ortiz leaves a lasting impression

One of my good friends in girls’ basketball told me about this young lady who was going to be playing for his San Antonio Islanders team from Crystal City, TX and his exact words were “Simmie you have to see her” and due to the craziness we’ve had this season, I didn’t get a chance to catch her playing club basketball so I filled up the tank and ventured out for a getaway to man was I glad I did

Ortiz can run the 1 very well, she sees the floor, she handles the ball under pressure , she knows who to give the ball to and when plus she’s so smart on the floor, not to mention she’s a “vocal” team leader that makes those around her better but she also shoots the ball well enough to play the 2 , in fact she’s a legitimate next level combo guard that can take defenders off the dribble, hit the midrange or shoot the long range

Her poise on the court carried over to off the court as well as she definitely made the 5-hour one-way drive worth it so I’m certain that as much as I saw from her, as well as her talented teammates, I’ll be seeing them again, in fact, I’m doing a story on Crystal City’s game against Somerset for PGH that I’ll drop tomorrow, 11/09/20
