Rick Bolus’ High Potential® 15^th Annual Girl’s Basketball Showcase Mini-Camp

 

I have included some of my personal observations from the camp.

 

Kasey Young – 5-11 Sr. (Danville, KY) I have watched Young play since the 6^th grade and have always liked her potential.  She could always shoot the ball and had excellent range on her jump shot.  She took her game to the next level with the ability to take the ball to the basket.

Serena Sandusky – 5-8 Sr. (Bryan Station Lexington, KY) Steady and talented, Sandusky always gives a consistent effort.

Kierra Muhammad – 5-4 Sr. (Paul Dunbar Lexington, KY) This quick, athletic guard makes it happen on both ends of the floor.

DaiJia Ruffin – 5-9 Jr. (Sacred Heart Louisville, KY) Ruffin is strong and athletic with the ability to score in a variety of ways.

Jessica Brown – 6-1 Jr. (Collierville, TN) Knows how to play the game, good size, and can shoot the ball.

Kelsey Adwell – 5-8 Sr. (Pleasure Ridge Park Louisville, KY) Sound and solid player has enjoyed a stellar high school career.

Alisha Durbin – 6-2 Sr. (LaRue County Hodgenville, KY) Overshadowed at times by her high profile underclassmen teammates Ivy Brown and Alexis Brewer, but make no mistake this tall, talented player has game.

Dee Dee Sliter – 5-8 Sr. (Assumption Louisville, KY) This versatile guard missed last season with an injury which probably cost her team 5-7 victories.  Her return this season could be the missing piece of the puzzle for Assumption.

Mikkah Hignite – 5-8 Sr. (Gallatin County Warsaw, KY) Good skills and understands the game.

Christessica Priddy – 6-0 Soph. (Hart County Munfordville, KY) Steadily improving, good size, takes the ball to the basket.

Lauren McBryar – 5-6 Fr. (Mooresville, IN) Very impressive showing this week on a high school division team that went 5-0.

Aareon Smith – 5-10 Sr. (Butler Louisville, KY) Steady and consistent performer game after game against stellar competition.

Katie Moore – 5-8 Soph. (Leslie County Hyden, KY) Sharp shooter should enjoy excellent season.

Katie Pippen – 5-9 Sr. (Tates Creek Lexington, KY) – My “crystal ball” shows good senior season for this versatile player.

Falon Baker – 5-8 Jr. (Beech Hendersonville, TN) Has excellent range on jump shot.

 

There were several other players junior and senior division both from Kentucky and other states that impressed this week.

Rick Bolus’ High Potential® 15^th Annual Girl’s Basketball Showcase Mini-Camp

 

There are always players at camp that may not receive all-camp honors or may feel they have not been noticed or appreciated.  However, a player’s effort rarely goes unnoticed.  I observed several players this weekend that impressed me and I  believe they will have very good careers on the hardwood.  I will mention a few now and probably more later.

 

Kaylee Cotton – 5-8 Fr. McCreary Central Stearns KY – Kaylee is very sound fundamentally and a very  good rebounder for her size.  Can hit the outside shot and will battle effectively in the paint.  She has already logged significant varsity time and is poised for an excellent season.

 

Heidi Huffman – 5-6 Soph. Mercer County Harrodsburg KY – Heidi can score in a variety of ways from the three point range and penetration to the basket.  Heidi is capable of putting up points in a hurry.

 

Kaci Currens – 5-7 Fr. Anderson County Lawrenceburg KY – Anderson County has a history of young players making an early impact at the varsity level and Kaci is ready to break out after playing against some of the top young talent every day in practice. Used to playing against good competition.

 

Justus Martin – 6-0 Fr. Shelby County Shelbyville KY – Justus is extremely effective inside and has a very promising future.

 

Morgan Chestnut – 5-11 Sr. Clay County Manchester KY – Another in a long line of Clay County players who can score in the paint and hit the boards.  Morgan teams up with Cheyenne Madden to give the Lady Tigers an excellent 1-2 punch in the paint.

 

Kiara Pankins – 5-8 8^th Grade Jessie Clark Lexington KY – Played “up” in the senior division and is expected to be very productive for Lafayette in the future.

 

Mallie Cornett – 5-11 8^th Grade Model Lab Richmond KY – Mallie also excels in track & field and has all the tools to make a big impact at the varsity level this season.  Runs the floor, rebounds, and defends.  With added strength as she matures could make her a future star.
