Shooter and defender show the grace and athleticism of basketball. Middletown's Morgan Taylor lets one fly over Caravel's Dara Taylor.
The undisputed Greatest All-Around Female Athlete that Delaware ever produced,
Kristin (Mills) Caldwell. Here, Caldwell imparts some wisdom onto her players. The Lady Bucs would lose this game between two in-state heavyweights, 48 - 36.
The two best inbounders in the State are St. Mark's Jessica Cook (not in this tournament) and Caravel's Ellee Rollins, pictured above, doing her thing.
Tip-off of the Ursuline/St. John the Baptist game on Thursday.
In the 28 games that this tournament sported, only three iPOW winners emerged. One of them was Kayla Miller, an incredible athlete who combines speed, agility, and sheer strength like few others. She also has the ability to turn up her game a notch when the rest of her team goes stale. In Delaware, everyone and their brother knows Ursuline has a superstar on their team. With Kayla Miller, I would submit that they actually have two.
...And here's the other one.
Concord's Neasa King and Charter's Chelsea Cox.
Concord High's senior, Samantha Ross.
The Wilmington Charter defense comes up on Concord guard, Bria Graham.
Up in the stands, Glasgow's Telisha Turner looks on from a prone position.
*** The purpose of this page, like the rest of this site, is to promote girls basketball in the State of Delaware. This is hard to do if individual players cannot be singled out.
However, I will honor all requests by players or parents to remove their/their daughters' names and/or images from this review. I will also gladly correct any misspelled names, or add names where now I list only a player uniform number. Just email me. *** DelGirlsHoops@aol.comJim Charles
