Classic in the Country Recaps

Central was mentioned in more recaps of the Classic in the Country in Ohio by Blue Star Media and Full Court.

Blue Star Media Day 2 Recap:

It’s not often that you can shoot virtually even with your opponent, out rebound them by 9, see them shoot just 3 of 12 from the line…and still lose 72 to 47.  Unfortunately for Memphis Central they caught Reynoldsburg on one of those days where everything and everyone is clicking.  The Raiders utilized a blistering 7 of 15 first half three point performance to take a commanding 41 to 26 halftime lead.  Things went further downhill for the Warriors in the third as Reynoldsburg held them to just seven points while posting 21 of their own.  A 14 – 10 fourth period was moot for Central as the writing was on the wall with a 25 point final deficit.  Senior guard Yamonie Jenkins, an Ohio University signee, led the way with 15, all coming from her 5 for 9 deep shooting.  Ever improving junior guard Nicole Orr added 14 going 6 of 12 from the floor while another OU signee, Destini Cooper contributed 13.  Morehead commit Shiloh Murphy was the last in double figures for Reynoldsburg with 10.  Baylor bound senior Nina Davis led Central once again this time posting 25 points on 11 of 21 shooting and adding 10 boards as well in the loss.  Junior forward Tia Wooten was the only other Warrior in double digits finishing with 14 while going 6 for 9 from the floor.

This is what Mark Lewis of Blue Star Media had to say about Nina Davis in her two game performance.

Nina Davis – Memphis Central – Headed to Baylor next year, the 5’11 forward may define the word “productive”.  Shooting a two game total of 24 for 42, she produced 54 points and 24 rebounds as the Warriors went one and one on the weekend.

Bob Corwin of Full Court wrote this about Nina Davis.

Nina Davis, 5-11 power forward, Memphis Central TN
During her most recent club basketball season, Davis got multiple mentions on Full Court playing for Tennessee Flight Silver. The most impressive thing about her game continues to be that she never takes a possession off regardless of how things are going for her team, which split two games while at the Classic (winning 63-56 versus short-handed Princeton of Cincinnati and losing 72-47 to Reynoldsburg). Davis went for 29 points and 14 boards in the first contest and 25 points and 10 rebounds versus Reynoldsburg.  Most encouraging for this Baylor signee was that she showed more range, hitting a few from midkey rather than just scoring at the rim.
