Estill County  vs.  Model Laboratory (Girls)

Model Laboratory School

Richmond, KY

November 26, 2012

 

What do you do when you are approaching your season opener with your two most experienced players out with injuries?  That is what Model coach Ronald Preece faced with 5-8 Jr. Darrian Botts and 5-8 Jr. Madison Keene out with injuries.  However it worked out well with the old cliché “Youth must be served” the kiddie corps or the baby brigade however you want to say it started the game with four eighth graders and a sophomore and handed Estill County a 57-37 defeat.

The veteran of the group 5-7 So. Hayley Hunt settled the team down and got the younger players comfortable and after the score was tied at 18-18  Model began to take control of the game.  The Lady Patriots led 32-21 at halftime and pulled away in the third quarter to settle the issue.  6-0 8th grader Mallie Cornett was a terror on both ends of the court for Model with 22 points, 19 rebounds, 13 blocks, four steals, and two assists.  She calmly connected on eight of eight free throws and the remarkable stat for me was only two personal fouls considering how active she was on both ends of the court.

5-6 8th grader Kasi Schneid and 5-7 So. Hayley Hunt added 15 and 14 points respectively.  5-4 So. Kennedy Flynn led Estill County with 23 points.

11th Annual Bullitt East/High Potential Hooparama Showcase
Topic: Basketball

2012BEHPSP

 

 

11th Annual Bullitt East/High Potential Hooparama Showcase

 

This event was held at Bullitt East High School on November 16-17, 2012 and displayed some of the best teams and players in the state.  I was unable to attend Friday night so I was unable to see Glasgow and Bullitt East.  I will mention some of the players I saw on Saturday.  This is not a form of ranking but just some comments on players who impressed me today.

 

Rebecca Greenwell (Owensboro Catholic) – Greenwell is a 6-1 Sr. who missed last season with an ACL injury.  She averaged 32.6 ppg and 12 rpg as a sophomore.  Greenwell is a versatile performer who can score from anywhere on the floor and looked like her recovery is going well as she scored 40 points  in today’s scrimmage.

 

Makayla Epps (Marion County) – Epps is a 5-11 Sr. who is a true point guard and can get to the basket at will.  She has three point range and scored 28 points today including four three point baskets.

 

Kyvin Goodin-Rogers (Marion County) – Goodin-Rogers is a 6-0 Sr. who is an excellent rebounder and a versatile scorer with three point range.  She had an excellent game today with 26 points including three three point baskets and was very active on defense and on the boards.

 

Cheyenne Madden (Clay County) – Madden is a 5-11 Sr. who averaged 18.4 ppg last season and appears to be quicker with the ability to move out on the floor at times.  She is extremely hard to guard in the paint and is almost automatic when she gets the ball down low.  Madden had 23 points, seven rebounds, and five steals today.

 

Raven Merriweather (Sacred Heart Academy) – Merriweather is a 5-6 Jr. who can score off the dribble as well as having good range on her jump shot.  She has good all around skills and is poised for an excellent season.  Merriweather scored 23 points today and pulled down six rebounds.

 

Dai Jia Ruffin (Sacred Heart Academy) – Ruffin is a 5-9 Jr. and has the ability to post on about anyone and is athletic with the ability to score off the dribble.  Ruffin recorded 20 points and 11 rebounds today and also had five steals.

 

Cierra Drake (Nelson County) – Drake is a 6-3 Sr. who has the potential to be a force in the middle.  She recorded 16 points today, rebounded well, and either blocked or altered several shots.

 

Kelsey Adwell (Pleasure Ridge Park) – Adwell is a 5-8 Sr. who averaged 18 ppg and 8.9 rpg last season and is a versatile scorer.  Adwell had 19 points today.

 

Paige Murphy (Pleasure Ridge Park) – Murphy is a 5-9 Jr. who impressed today with 20 points all in the second half.  She displayed a versatile scoring touch including two three point baskets.

 

Alexis Brewer (LaRue County) – Brewer is a 5-10 So. guard who averaged 14.2 ppg and has an excellent skill set .  Brewer is a very athletic, strong performer who gets to the free throw line.  She scored 23 points today against Mercy Academy.

 

Ivy Brown (LaRue County) – Brown is a 6-0 Jr. guard/forward who averaged 19.4 ppg and 9.6 rpg last season.  Brown got off to a slow start early but came back with a strong second half scoring 12 points after the intermission and frequently getting to the free throw line.

 

Whitney Hartlage (Mercy Academy) – Hartlage is a 5-8 Sr. who is a “silent assassin” and one of the best catch-and-shoot players in the state.  Hartlage must be accounted for defensively on every play as she is absolutely deadly if open on the wing behind the arc.  She scored 20 points today including five three point baskets.

 

These are just a few of players that impressed today and does not include some of the fine talent on display Friday night.

Bullitt East (Region 6) – Coach Chris Stallings’ Lady Chargers finished 15-17 last season and should be very competitive this season with the added experience.  5-4 Jr. PG Emily Fryman has started the last two seasons and is a very capable floor leader.  5-8 8th grader Lindsey Duvall is the leading returning scorer and 5-10 So. Kylee Willis started last season and is the second leading returning scorer.  5-9 Jr. Courtney Pfister had a solid summer and fall and is expected to be a solid contributor.

Ajaycia Cotton will be the point guard and provides speed and quickness.  5-8 Fr. TaLaura Mathis (7.5 ppg) is coming off knee surgery and is an excellent perimeter shooter.  Other key players include 5-5 Jr. Briana Smith, 5-9 Fr. Kelli Roberts, and 5-8 So. Leslie Roberts.

 

Sacred Heart Academy (Region 7) – Coach Donna Moir’s Valkyries finished 19-13 last season and should be very competitive again this season.  They will be led by 5-9 Jr. Dai Jia Ruffin (12.6 ppg, 7.3 rpg) and 5-6 Jr. Raven Merriweather (12.5 ppg) who provides an excellent inside-outside scoring punch.  5-7 Sr. Kristin Matula is another returning starter who has great quickness.

 

Nelson County (Region 5) – Coach Kelly Wood’s Lady Cardinals finished 24-7 last season.  Nelson County will have good size but graduated four seniors.  6-3 Sr. Cierra Drake (13 ppg, 9 rpg, and 4 bpg) will be a force in the middle and 5-10 Sr. A.J. Lewis (8 ppg, 6 rpg, 5apg) is a versatile performer who can do a little bit of everything on the floor.  Other players expected to contribute include 6-2 Sr. Allysa Johnston, 5-8 So. Caitlin Hagan, and 5-10 Jr. Brianna Harman.

 

Pleasure Ridge Park (Region 6) – Coach David Meadows Lady Panthers finished 17-14 last season and should be very competitive this season.  They will be led by 5-8 Sr. Kelsey Adwell (18 ppg, 8.9 rpg) who is a very versatile scorer.  5-11 Jr. Rayvean Shead averaged 10.5 ppg and 7.7 rpg.  5-9 Jr. guard Paige Murphy is also one of the top players in the region.  Transfers 6-0 So.

Mercy Academy (Region 6) – Coach Mark Evan’s Jaguars finished 27-6 last season and will challenge for the regional title this season.  Mercy graduated the Roush twins (Courtney and Christine) but returns a lot of talent and their trademark suffocating defense.  5-8 Sr. Whitney Hartlage is a deadly outside shooter and 5-7 Sr. PG Kayla Richardson is a versatile scorer who should have a great season.  Other key players include 6-0 So. Malerie Martin and 5-9 Sr. Victoria Dircksen.

Conclusion

 

This was an excellent two days of basketball with a lot of talent on display this weekend.  Marion County looked very good this weekend, athletic, talented, and determined.  Three of the ladies considered to be among the top contenders for Miss Basketball (Makayla Epps, Kyvin Goodin-Rogers, and Rebecca Greenwell) were as good as advertised .  Whitney Hartlage (Mercy Academy) is deadly from the three point line.  Cheyenne Madden (Clay County) is quicker this season and difficult to defend in the paint.  Bullitt East has one of the top eighth graders in the state in Lindsey Duvall and Glasgow’s Fr. Breanna Glover is poised for stardom.  Sacred Heart has two excellent scorers in Raven Merriweather and Dai Jia Ruffin.  Nelson County’s Cierra Drake either blocked or altered a ton of shots today.  Pleasure Ridge Park has three capable scorers in Paige Murphy, Kelsey Adwell, and Rayven Shead.  LaRue county has a high scoring combination in Ivy Brown and Alexis Brewer.  Kelsey Greer is an excellent floor leader for Glasgow.
