All still true, took in tonights game and I think she when for 38/12.
Made several long 3s and has a nice mid range game too.
Had a slow start, 2 pts after 1 but caught fire.
Sat with family, really nice folks and introduced to Lexi after the game. She's got a super nice personality and attitude.
She can't wait to get to Storrs.
She'll be at the O$U game.
Fyi, keep an eye on her sister, only a freshman.

Don't think it's blood but she's playing through a sore knee. Needs some rest, has 8 days off before next game. Took a hard crash early in the game, left for a few minutes. Like most kids, the knee appeared to hurt more on the defensive side of the game.

Monacan steamrolled its first opponent in the Crescom Invitational (12/17).

Megan Walker got a lot done in just 13 minutes of playing time:

19 points (6-11 FG, 6-7 FT), 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks

.

Wesleyan (Coombs) and Winder-Barrow (Nelson-Ododa) play games on Monday.

I can personally vouch for these cookies. They weren't around during my days at UConn, but they did help me get through law school at a different university a few years later. Always great when you find yourself up late and hungry…although I'm a little surprised—all this time I thought the real closer was the chocolate cake at Geno's! :D

On a serious note, I want to thank everyone responsible for providing all the information that makes up this thread. It's a really valuable service for the rest of us fans who don't closely follow the high school game. I, for one, am very appreciative of all your efforts.
 
Nothing but good news! Megan is perhaps a shade under the advertised 6-1, but plays all 5 positions and rebounds well. She is high scorer without hogging the ball or forcing shots. In fact, she looks to pass first, and is especially quick to spot a teammate ahead of the pack. She is a relentless offensive rebounder and gets to the line. She sat out a minute plus a time out in the first half and rested most of the second half in this lopsided victory. Monacan plays a difficult foe with Norcross, Georgia as their next opponent.

Thanks for the post. I saw that her team was up by 50 at halftime and she is a tireless worker. I cannot wait until she gets to Connecticut. The athleticism she has to combine with Gabby, Pheesa and Azuré will be something to watch.

Thanks! I watched the scrimmage against Paul VI, and Meg didn't force any shots at all.
 
62-12 at the half and 77-30 final.

From the box score:

19 points, 6-11 on FGAs, 1-3 from the arc, 5-8 inside the arc, 6-7 on FTAs, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 0 TOs.
 
Ill be at the game against Norcross to see Walker in action for the 4th time. Norcross is the team that gave us Diamond DeShields and Shayla Cooper so it'll be an interesting matchup.

Did Brianna Banks go to Norcross , too?

Monday's action from the Crescom Classic:

Mikalya Coombs scored 22 points and added 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block in Wesleyan's win.

Olivia Nelson-Ododa had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 3 steals in just 18 minutes due to foul trouble. Winder-Barrow won anyway, and that sets up a matchup with Wesleyan.
