Basketball just keeps rolling in Texas as we move into the Super 64 event also put on by Premier Basketball Report. Since all three teams that were at the Heart of Texas event are staying we're only going to highlight the players that will be new.... check out the previous article as those players will also be at this event. The Pumas is the only new team but they bring three teams and talent from each high school classification. I'm excited to see them in action for the first time this summer as well as see if the Baton Rouge Lady Tigers, Louisiana Lady Hoopers and Lake City Pride can build off some momentum after finishing strong down the stretch. Not playing basketball for four months it's hard to simulate a game so knocking that rust off has been a big challenge for all the Louisiana teams early on. I'm just happy a lot of OUR girls will be able to get some games in and put together some film, especially these 2021's and 22's. Good luck ladies and represent for Louisiana!

Who To Watch: 2021's
Skyler Christmas - ULL Commitment
5'6 Point Guard / Ranked #17 /
Lady Pumas Black
She's a walking bucket... Look for her to make A LOT of plays on the offensive end with enough wiggle to make someone fall. One of the best one on one players in the state and if I'm being honest she's probably ranked a little to low looking back at it. She's a gamer and she'll bring it in this setting. Close game....just give her the ball and get out the way!
Jardee Muse
5'10 Forward / Not Ranked (Yet) /
Lady Pumas Black
She missed some of her high school season last year and feel off the radar but this versatile forward can create a lot of mismatches. She has the ability to stretch the floor and has guard like skills from the forward position. Look for her and Skyler to feed off of each other.
Who To Watch: 2022's
Tierra Sylvas
5'7 Guard / Ranked #8 /
Lady Pumas United
Athletic guard that really excels in transition. Has a quick first that makes her hard to stay in front of at times. Look for her to lead this Pumas United team this week and keep an eye on her high school (Northshore) team they could be a dark horse to win the state title!
Who To Watch: 2023's
Myan Barthelemy
5'7 Point Guard / Ranked #8
Lady Pumas Select
This Pumas Select team is going to count on her to do a lot of what she does and that's score the basketball. She's got a bigger frame for a guard and uses her body well to create separation on finishes as well as shield off defenders on the perimeter. She added some strength after being in high school for a year and I think that will help her a lot this weekend.
Kyra Bradley
5'5 Point Guard / Ranked #18
Lady Pumas Select
She has a natural feel for the game which leads to great vision and with this team she's got a lot of options to pass to.... Athletic guard that can play both ends of the floor... guards win games and she's a good one to have.
Ambria Langley
6'0 Forward / Ranked #19
Lady Pumas Select
Natural slasher which happens to go well with her teammate Kyra's ability to pass and find her on those slashes look for those to connect all tournament long. It'll be my first time seeing her on this stage and I'm excited to see her match up with a court full of college prospects... I think she'll still stand out as an athletic forward.
Bailey Johnson
5'8 Guard / Ranked #21
Lady Pumas Select
When she walks on the court you automatically identify her as a shooter and she's one of the best shooters in the class. Her handles have been improving with a nice change of pace. Stepping it up again this year in competition it'll be fun to watch her game continue to evolve as well.
Alissa O'Dell
5'10 Power Forward / Ranked #22
Lady Pumas Select
Physical back to the basket style post player.... might be undersized to some but she makes up for it with her strength. Not sure you'll find many post players her age as physical as her this weekend. She'll be the anchor on both ends of the floor this week.
Jerzie Douglas
5'5 Guard / Ranked #24
Lady Pumas Select
In the NBA you'll find a role on any team if you can play defense and knock down the 3-ball. We call them a 3 and D player.... Jerzie fits that role for sure and she'll be the teams lock down defender this week if someone needs to be stopped but don't be surprised by her offensive skill set and ability to get out in transition for easy buckets.
