Article on Leshann Higgs and 2018 (?) 6-7 frosh Sedona Prince, Marble Falls Faith, is the newcomer of the year in Central Texas. She is a Texas verbal.

Neither Higgs nor Hosey had very good games, but these are pretty meaningless exercises. I've seen players who did not shine turn out to be great, and others who looked fantastic have mediocre careers. Brooke didn't get in long last year and was not impressive, but look at her now.

Higgs started which is something. Both she and Jordan rebounded well for the short time they were in. Looking forward to seeing them at summer camp along with Christina.

Meant to post my assessment earlier. Neither Lashann nor Jordan got a lot of scoring opportunities. There was one play in the second half where Lashann started at top of the key and just blew by her defender toward the basket; unfortunately, her layup attempt hit the bottom of the rim; she was visibly frustrated that she couldn't convert.

Physically, they are what I expected. Both are long and lean and can run the court all day. But, compared to the other guards on the court, Lashann "looked" very thin ; but, the reality is that the majority of the guards in that game were very solidly built to point where I would say "thick".

As for Jordan, she is going to look undersized when playing Power Forward in college next season, and I thin that's where we will need her help the most. But, perhaps here speed and perimeter skills will create mismatches in our favor.

Both players will be very important to the team.Lashann gives us a guard in the back court with size, speed, and explosiveness. She's also a player that we can give the ball to and she can break her defender down off the dribble consistently, which is what we really need. Jordan is very important because she allows us to match up with the majority of teams in the conf that play a 4 guard offense. I'm looking forward to watching them play for the team.
