Chelsea cannot get her fast enough for me. She has the potential to be a great guard at OU for 4 years.
When is the earliest that Dungee can sign a LOI?
I hate knee injuries:
Everything changed 16 seconds into the third quarter.
The Grandview Prep girls basketball team lost star center Vionese Pierre-Louis when she landed wrong hurting her right knee. Even without one star, another stepped up.
Point guard Neydja Petithomme scored 20 points, along with eight rebounds, eight steals and five assists, helping Grandview win its first Class 2A state title with a 45-32 win over Sarasota Christian (23-8) on Thursday.
"Losing Vi-Vi is a big deal for us, a major loss for us," said Grandview coach Gary Downing, whose team had lost in the state semifinals the past two years. "But at the same time we've preached about being a team all year."
Losing Pierre-Louis, a 6-foot-4 Oklahoma signee, gave the initial appearance Grandview (25-2) would struggle inside. Downing moved sophomores Nadiah Isaac and Summer Burgess into the post supplementing Pierre-Louis's absence.
The move paid off with Isaac scoring 11 points and nine rebounds while the tireless Burgess scored eight points and 10 rebounds.
Still, the game and state tournament belonged to Petithomme. Petithomme, an Auburn commit, came up big in Grandview's 41-39 semifinal win over Tallahassee FAMU on Tuesday forcing two turnovers, setting up the go-ahead basket and hitting a free throw all in the last two minutes.
Petithomme turned it on by getting to the lane with ease working through double and triple teams to either score or set someone up.
When the final buzzer sounded, all of Grandview's players hugged and celebrated the victory. Pierre-Louis, who had four points, five rebounds and three blocks in eight minutes, was helped to center court by her teammates for the trophy presentation.
Pierre-Louis said she didn't know the extent of her injury.
"I remember looking down," she recalled, "and my knee was in two different directions and then I started screaming from there."
Has there been any updates on the knee injury to Pierre-Louis? Anyone know anything since her injury?
She had an MRI yesterday, and will have the results on Monday. I just called the school.
