Haven’t seen Lara Somfai yet, not sure if she’s playing

She’s been on the bench in sweats for both games. No visible sign of injury but who knows.

 

[HuskyNan]

KK and Kelis are going to make opposing point guards cry. The Huskies will be the team with a quick PG that’s a problem to guard

 

[HuskyNan]

Kelis has 20 points (7-16) and 5 rebounds as #3 IMG upsets #2 and previously undefeated Grayson (GA) for the win

IMG goes to the national championship game vs the winner of rival Montverde/LuHi

Do we know when the championship game is being played...and on what channel?

 

[HuskyNan]

IMG will play Montverde, a 79-78 winner over LuHi at 10:00 on ESPN.

 

[Alydar]

Isn't LuHi the team with three MCDAA's?

 

[Alydar]

So it looks like Strong's announcement will be the halftime show? Game is at 10am, announcement at 11am

Kelis showed up huge in the championship ~ although IMG lost to Monteverde, the junior was the best player on the floor for her team, contributing a team high 24 points. Physical, athletic, and fearless going to the rim. She’s powerful, quick, and uses her frame to create space. Uber competitive. She will definitely be climbing in the rankings after this tournament.

She is going to be a really good one.
I like the spacing of her coming in '25 to join/ learn from a seasoned KK...
I'm hoping the same happens with '27 Kaleena Smith (Special K)!

I just feel like Geno is constantly looking for his next Renee Montgomery and Kelis fits in that club perfectly.

Fisher had an amazing recovery block on a player a foot taller. Showed great instincts, toughness, strength, hands, and quickness this week. Very skilled and athletic. Only took a few outside shots which looked good mechanically.

Other video of her has been kinda hit-or-miss but I am really encouraged after these three games.

 

[NW-MW]

Kelis seems like she has really developed in the past year. I cant wait to see what she brings in her senior season and to UCONN.

How crazy and impossible does it seem that Montverde won the Boys National Championship and the Girls are playing for the title too? There are thousands of high schools in this country.

It is certainly somewhat impressive, but there are not thousands of schools who could possibly be in the running for a so-called national championship. Montverde aggressively recruits players from all over the country, who usually are given full rides. Add in their location near Orlando, Florida, and they are able to attract a significant number of the top prospects in the country.

I was impressed by Kelis... seeing her inaction. Incredible her block on
the bigger Monterde girl... also, with those quick drives to the basket.
A VERY DETERMINED young woman! Go Huskies. Go Kelis, recruit Lara!!

Some high schools, including Montverde and IMG, recruit nationally for the best talent, or even internationally as Lara Somfai (IMG) is from Australia . Both schools are in Florida - Kelis is from Baltimore, Jaloni Cambridge is from Nashville, etc. They win, so they attract the talent
