Rodrea Echols (Overton) Career High 11 points



Read Oklahoma State story

Ariel Williams, Alexus Williams, Jasmine Carson shine in BallN Power Prep Event

During the holiday break, Whitehaven hit the road to Alabama to participate in the BallN Powher Prep Invite.

Here are the evals of Unsigned Seniors Ariel Williams and Alexus Williams and Junior Jasmine Carson from the event:


’17 G Ariel Williams (Whitehaven High School) - Another long and Athletic unsigned Sr. that can defend the perimeter well, and she can handle the basketball. I liked how she didn’t force much but took what was given to her. She played a perfect role. Continue to take notice of her and you will see the jewel she is.

’17 F Alexus Williams (Whitehaven High School)- As I sit and watched her she continued to do the little things that lead to a lot of big things for a her team A real active post that can set some mean screens. She will crash the boards. . A real tough player that also played a perfect roll.

’18 G Jasmine Carson (Whitehaven High School, TN) - Jasmine is a decent Guard that can handle the basketball with either hand. She makes passes good passes and if you leave her open she can knock down the open shoot. She can also play good on the ball defense.

Read entire recap


Evaluation from BlueStar Media

Jasmine Carson- 2018- Guard- Whitehaven (Tennessee)- Pushes the ball in transition…Good vision and makes unselfish passes…Athletic player with a solid stroke
