The Blue Star Fall Showcase was held at the University of Memphis Recreation Center. There were several college coaches in the house from Memphis, Southern Mississippi, Tennessee State University, Christian Brothers University, etc. The college coaches should not have been disappointed because the gym was full of talent.
Several 8th graders came out to show that they can compete with the high school players including Ebony Hayes, Nina Davis, Amber Holmes, and Shunice Herron.
The big girls did not disappoint either. Danielle Ballard (Central) showed that she has defensive and anticipation skills stealing the ball left and right. Jasmine Trotter (Marion, AR) displayed that at 6'4 she can run the floor. Erica Burgess (Central) demonstrated her quickness. Kaitlyn Butler-Morris (Lausanne) is looking more and more like herself slashing and penetrating to the basket. Charnera Macklin (East) blocked shots, grabbed rebounds, and showed that she can shoot off the dribble. Ashley Tate (Ridgeway) continued to show that she comes to play every time she steps on the court. She hustled, dished the ball, and penetrated to the basket. Daria Hester (Booker T. Washington) started out a little rusty but picked it up using her body and power in the post and displaying her range. Arkela Jones (Overton) showed her point guard abilities and court awareness. Cristyn Hopper (Arlington) and Candis Clear (East) showed their 3 point range. Jasmine Taylor (Central) was all over the court rebounding, passing from the post position, and shooting the 3. Katya Lloyd (Craigmont) showed how powerful and explosive she is at the point position.
Some of the more nationally known and already committed players where in the house.
Sarah Watkins (Houston), Lauren Avant (Lausanne), and Ashley Robinson (Millington). Jasmine James (Bartlett) came out to show her support.
