Cortrice Golden impresses at Boo Williams-Ron Curry Holiday Classic

ESPN HoopGurlz's Lisa Bodine liked what she saw out of "Big Baby" over the holiday break. Check out what she had to say.

Cortrice Golden, Overton (Memphis, Tenn.): You can add Cortrice Golden to the list of next generation of post players that can operate outside of the paint. At the Boo Williams\Ron Curry Holiday Classic, she had fans drawing comparisons to Texas A&M star forward Danielle Adams with her combination of size, basketball skills and toughness. As a team Overton does an excellent job spacing the floor, which gives her plenty of room to operate offensively. Golden's ability to make plays away from the basket created all sorts of match up problems for the opponents post players, especially since she can penetrate off the dribble. She is deceptively athletic and very active defensively; she was able to keep the Bishop McNamara's (Forestville, Md.) interior players from getting comfortable position on the block. With Golden's versatility and inspired play, Overton should be a tough matchup for the rest of its season.
