This mini-camp was held July17-18,2009 at Georgetown College in Georgetown KY.  This was an excellent camp and the talent level was high from the senior class on down to the underclassmen.

The Camp MVP was 6-2 Sr. Antonita Slaughter (Christian Academy of Louisville KY) who impressed  with her all-around game and long range shooting.  5-10 Sr. Chassidy Fussell (Obion County Central Troy TN) has excellent all-around skills and is a playmaker with excellent court vision.  5-7 So. April Wilson (Manual Louisville KY) was named top underclassman and is a definite star even at this young age.  Watch out for 5-8 Fr. China Dow (Christian Academy of Louisville KY)-she will be a good one.

5-8 Jr. Kristen Stainback (Scott County Georgetown KY) displays a lot of heart and unlimited range on her jump shot.  When she gets in a "zone" she makes the game look easy.  5-10 Sr. Kayla Thacker (Bullitt East Mt. Washington KY) is an excellent overall player who understands the game. Look out for 6-2 So. Tia Nicholson (Clarksville TN) and 5-7 So. Jessy Ward (Clarksville TN) both young and talented.

5-9 Jr. Megan Cureton (Butler Louisville KY) and 5-6 Jr. Heather Wheat (Butler Louisville KY) play together in high school and were on the same team in camp.  Both are very solid players and have a good understanding of the game.  There were numerous players who impressed here during the two days and I will have other blogs as well as a complete write-up on the event within 2-3 weeks.

I was also impressed with some of the younger players who competed this week.  They, at times would be overwhelmed in the first game especially if they were playing against an upperclassman but it was amazing to me how fast their confidence grew and you could actually see them improve each game.  The future would appear bright for the girls' game in the state of Kentucky. Two young players in the state of Kentucky to look for in the future are 5-6 7th grader Alexis Brewer (LaRue County Hodgenville KY) and 5-9 8th grader Ivy Brown (LaRue County Hodgenville KY).
