My esteemed colleague from The Bench, MPG, pointed out that Koval hit a clutch three-pointer in the 4th quarter in this game. Beating Sidwell Friends is no small deal.

He also points out that the Swords sisters: Syla and Savvy, could be on both the All Name and All Alliteration watch lists!

Nice article on Qadence Samuels in the Washington Post.

She went from pandemic pickup games with family to U-Conn. hoops commit

Bishop McNamara’s Qadence Samuels was a bit of a latecomer to basketball but worked her way into a top recruit.

Two different players. I think this kid is more athletic and more physical than Kitts at a much younger age. I'd like to see her expand her game outside the paint area. She's got a lot of upside.

Agreed. This kids bangs much more than I’ve seen in my limited viewing of Kitts. Watching Kitts with team USA, she seemed a tad soft.

Koval did not impress me in the game tonight against La Jolla.

Koval did not impress me in the game tonight against La Jolla.

Haven't seen her play other than this game last night. Curious as to who she's faced in the past in the post because she had her challenges with Cunningham. The announcers sounded like they were giving her a pass with the "not facing someone her size" excuse to justify it, especially when she was on the bench for a breather.

They mentioned she played AAU this past summer. Was she on the EYBL/UAA circuit this summer?

Was impressed by Heckel who was outstanding in the final of the TOC. Good handles, good shooter from mid-range, great going to the basket and a fantastic free throws shooter oh and her favorite player is Sue Bird. Was way more impressed by her then Koval who was named player of the game. Koval is a big body with nice moves around the basket but against a big with similar size (B. Cunnigham) she struggled and fouled a lot. B. Cunnigham was finishing very well around the basket but is not so good few feet away from the basket.

She played for NYC Exodus, which were the runner-ups at Nike Nationals. I’d have to go back and look at the stats, but IIRC she was solid/okay, but not great.

She’s a big body with solid mobility, showed some nice footwork in the post a couple times, but she didn’t seem to be at the level of Cunningham.

@Sluconn Husky
