I'm down with this kid. Constantly calculating and reading the defense plus she can really stick it. 39th ranked? Very amusing.

I don't think she was ranked last year so she's shot up a ton and still rising.

LOL. If they're splitting hairs on #5 and #25 as sophomores, where were the gurus on McDonald. She didn't get this good in a couple months or so. Those skills have been there for a good while.

She plays for Long Island Lutheran and was known til recently? Was she injured last year?

Tessa Johnson was ranked in the 40s in her last Summer circuit but “ shot up” to 25 by the final ranking- after winning. mcDonalds 3 point contest. I know Dawn likes this gal
