Pre-Season Show Off Camp 2010 Report I - 2011 Class
Amber Haggie (Yazoo City (MS), 6'0, G) Registered for the event as a guard but played mostly in the post. When she hit the court, you knew she was there. Very active, always moving, setting screens aggressive rebounder. A very composed player and coordinated. Brianna Taylor(East Jefferson (LA), 5'10, F) Long, shot blocker that does not mind putting the ball on the floor in open court situations. Chasity Richardson (Hillcrest, 5'8, G) A combo guard with extensive point guard experience but probably more confortable behind the arch shooting 3 pointers. Great at reading defenses and hitting teammates for open shots. Erica Bougard (Byhalia (MS), 5'7, G) probably the most athletic in this years event. If the ball is passed in her area, she is going to get it because of her speed and anticipation skills. She can also distribute the ball and score in a variety of ways. Kanesha Jackson (Overton, 5'2, PG) A legit floor general who can shoot the 3. She has a eye for finding teammates and kmows how to advance the ball in transition. Kamellya Hurst (St. Helena Central (LA), 5'2, PG) She is small in statue but her speed makes up for it. Her feet is always active and moving while playing on the ball defense.

2nd Annual Pre-Season Show Off Camp 2010 Highlights Part 1
This senior combo guard, Chasity Richardson (Hillcrest, 2011) moves very well without the basketball and has a mean stroke on her shot. She knocked down 5 three pointers in her first game at the Show Off Camp. She also has extensive experience at the point position. Several times during the camp, she was wide open for a shot however made great decisions to pass the ball to a teammate for a higher percentage shot.
At 6'4, senior post, Misha Jones (Millington 2011) will probably be the first player you notice in the gym. Misha hasn't played basketball for an extended period of time. However, she has had tremendous growth on the court. When you have the size that she has, the defensive attention is automatically on you and she can handle it. She doesn't panic when double or triple teamed. She finds the open player. She can also shoot over players. I don't know if she is left or right handed because it seems so natural for her to shoot with both hands on the block.

Inaugural End of Summer Shoot Out 2010 Highlights Part 2
This senior point guard, Adrienne McKay (Briarcrest Christian 2011) is tough. Her body build makes her look strong and from the look of her performance and difficult shots made, she is strong. She can go left and right and the penetration into a pull up jump shot is her thing. She loves the behind the back move and has an up and under fake move (not shown in video). Oh--and she can feed the ball to teammates.
The first thing you notice about this young lady is length. Jasmine Joyner (Memphis Lady Disciples/ 2013) is listed at 6'2 but her wing span is astronomical.. She gets down the floor extremely well and often times is the first player back in defensive transition. Her strengths are shot blocking and rebounding. Her footwork is great in reacting on defense. She is a sophomore at Southaven High (MS) and according to MaxPreps.com she averaged 5.3 points, 4.5 blocks and 6.9 rebounds as a freshman.

Inaugural End of Summer Shoot Out 2010 Highlights Part 1
The End of Summer Shoot Out tournament was full of young talent and left-handed players. To kick off the highlights from the NCAA certified event are two left-handed 2014 prospects, Kiara Golden and Kahdejah Stephens.
Kiara Golden, from Team Memphis Elite - Holmes. She is so smooth, always moving on offense and can knock down open shots. Kiara is a freshman at Center Hill High School in Olive Branch, MS.
Kahdejah Stevens, from Team Idlewild Fury, game has grown since I last watched her play at last year's Pre-Season Show Off Camp. She has expanded her game from primarily a rebounder to more of an offensive threat. She can score on the post, has a nice jumper from short corner extended and knows how to penetrate to the basket. I wouldn't be surprised if she can knock down threes. I must also mention her shot blocking abilities. Kahdejah is a freshman at Trezevant High School.
