Aaliya’s teammate Latasha Lattimore. She is taller than Aaliya, and strong. Aaliya is stronger and heavier, and faster than Archbishop Wood’s guards...

I take it you're there?

Yes. Crestwood is winning, so they’ll play at a time I won’t be able to make it tomorrow. Should be able to get to a game between Olivia Miles’ and Kamila Cadoso’s teams Friday. And Lauren Betts is playing in the same group as Edwards/Lattimore, so hopefully I can catch one of her games this weekend.

Edwards just got into it with an Archbishop Wood player - refs had to break it up. Aaliya got the better of it. They just called a double foul, but the Crestwood coach got T’d up.

Lattimore shooting...

#10 is the player Edwards got into it with. Now it just happened again - think they’re trying to bait her. Big fuss with the refs & coaches now...
 
Brandon Clay at the recent She Got Game Classic:


UConn landed a post prospect with a world of potential in Class of 2020 prospect Piath Gabriel of Bradbury Christian Academy (Mass.). Gabriel has the size and length on the interior to be a consistent factor in due time as her skill set keeps leveling up.

Sophomore sensation Kiki Rice of Sidwell Friends (Md.) is a dynamic scoring guard who played her with great pace. Whether in transition or in the half court, she got her paint touches off the bounce time and again. She’s a player with the talent to make difficult shots and as the 2022 learns to pick her spots her game will only become more lethal.


 
Blue Star's Mark Lewis was also at the She Got Game Classic:


Piath Gabriel – 2020 – 6-5 – Post – Bradford Christian Academy – UConn signee…All the size, strength and agility…Playing with more confidence…Effort is getting her in the middle of action more and more often…Active posting…Understands angles…Can finish efficiently…Has tools to work further from the rim…High post drive is impressive and covers a lot of ground…Impact defender who can change both shots and passes


Janiah Barker – 2022 – 6-1 – Forward – Tampa Bay Tech – One of the most versatile on the high school level…Tools allow her to excel inside and out…Size is there to handle the interior game but agility lets her work the perimeter as well…Ballskills make her a threat virtually anywhere on the catch…She can push the break, drive from the perimeter or pull up for the midrange…Always looking to improve her options…Increased focus is making her production more and more consistent


KiKi Rice – 2022 – 6-0 – Point Guard – Sidwell Friends – Mixing scoring and distributing more and more effectively…Knows when she needs to call her own number but also getting a good grip on when to set up teammates to keep defenders honest…Pushing the ball and exploiting slow and unaware transition defenses…Reading on the weakside defensively much better

Seems like people who are seeing Piath play are not only noticing improvement, but also still that she has lots of potential. I wonder how high her ceiling is? Will she be more Jess Moore or Heather Buck at UCONN?

By all accounts she's a very hard worker, and has size and agility on her side already.

Lmao...Her roof is the ceiling! Go Huskies!

I didn’t realize the caption wasn’t showing. She made 268 threes in 18 minutes. I think that’s :oops: worthy. Perhaps even :eek: worthy, but I can’t really say I’m shocked.
All humor aside, this is what happens when you get a player of such a high level who is also highly motivated, and then becomes injured. With time on their hands they then hone what was already their incredible skills. Now knee injuries generally take 8 months to a year for the player to really get back to their former level in re-acclimating atrophied muscles and trusting their knee. So for that I'm glad she still has another year in HS. But I too am really not surprised at this demonstration. She's going to look good in Husky blue.

Next, she does it blind folded. ;)
