Area Youth Handle The Pressure

In another case of calling it before it happens, 2016 Faith Cook’s Basketball On The Bayou debut on center stage was memorable to say the least and I mean that in a good way. Becoming the primary ball handler after an injury to Chastity Patterson, Cook’s line read like this 13 points, 7 assists, 7 steals and the most important stat was she showed she could play with the big girls. It doesn’t get an easier today as they open play today against Austin Elite RFW and their all-star cast

Houston Hoops-Jolivette’s Alexis Morris was another young player that showed she belonged and when you realize what this kid can do right now as a 2017, forget the potential, you know you’re watching a special player. Anytime you can think the game at this level at any age, you’re ahead of the game. When you’re doing it against players from two to four years older, just remember the name.
