After 1 qtr. Lou has 12 points.
mater dei up 22 to 12

 

[ochoopsfan]

At half Lou has 24 points. Two three pointers. She has 10 free throws (10 for 10). lous first 7 points were free throws. She has 7 rebounds.
mater dei up 42 to 24 at half.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou has a habit of scoring as many points as the opposition, like Kaleena in the second half of the California title game. She's a shooter AND a scorer.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lou with 31 points after 3.
11 rebounds.
mater dei up 61 to 30.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lou finished with 33. I had 12 rebounds.
mater dei won 77 to 50.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Thanks for the updates.

By the way Lou's first 7 points in the game were from the FT line. She was fouled(hacked) twice on lay ups and then fouled on a three point shot. Made them all(pity the fool that fouls her)
She made 12 of 13 from the FT line, hit the first 12 in a row.

Unofficial I heard that Geno wants to see her play again. Lous next game is at home Friday night. Geno would have to take a Friday night red eye back to NYC then the drive to Storrs for game vs Memphis at 2pm. If Lous team wins on Friday the championship game would be the following Friday or Saturday(yet to be determined) He could take the same red eye back to NYC if it was a Friday game to make the first AAC tournament game on Sat afternoon March 7th.

If Lou's team wins he could make it for the State playoffs(Mater Dei is currently in the Southern Section playoffs) which would be the off week between the AAC and the NCAA tournament. If I hear anything I will let ya know.

Samuelson netted 24 points in the first half, going 10-for-10 from the charity stripe.


“Katie Lou is the real deal,” Ladycats coach Jeff Sink said. “That’s why she’s going to UConn and is going to be the next Diana Taurasi. Next to Diana, she’s the best kid I’ve seen.”

Um, I think that's a pretty good compliment.

Napheesa shoots such a ridiculous percentage! Plus 18 boards and 9 clocks. Yikes!

Some pictures from the OC Register of Mater Dei's game.

I will be at Fridays game and will try and send more updates.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Um, I think that's a pretty good compliment.

The coach of Brea, Jeff Sink, coached his team against KML's MD team, I think 3 times.
He also was the coach of one of the teams in the WBCA HS All Star game in 2010 in San Antonio, which had a lot of talented players too.

He just wants to make sure she's the real thing before she shows up in
Storrs and he's past the point of no return...

Six-minute highlight package of Kyla Irwin:

 

[sawxfan23]

First time I have seen tape on Irwin and I love her midrange to 3pt range game. That will be a big tool for her next year when she faces bigger players in the post.

 

[NewCorn]

Kyla Irwin is not listed in ESPN'S Top 100. She could be the next Morgan Tuck. A Geno Coup waiting to happen?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Kyla Irwin is not listed in ESPN'S Top 100.

She probably will be at some point over the next year. She was recently slotted at #66 on Blue Star's list.

 

[Farney]

This kid looks like my favorite kind of player: the blue collar one. Bring the lunch pale and just go to work. I already know she's going to be a favorite the first day she steps on campus.

 

[cohenzone]

I dunno. She's obviously shooting 100%. Due for a drop off any year now.
But seriously, she's comfortable with the ball and has a reasonably quick release.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Napheesa Collier's last regular season game and her senior night were Wednesday (2/25).

23 points (11-16 fg), 12 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists

Incarnate Word has won 22 in a row and enter their playoffs next week.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Saw this tweet about the game Mater dei played the other night. Apparently some of the student body for Brea(the loser) were calling out to KLS
OC Sidelines @OCSidelines · 24h24 hours ago
"@coachVargas31 Great crowd Brea v MD Brea usually pretty wild with their comments first time I've heard "Katie marry me" LOL" @33katielou

Of course if they had said "Lou" marry me they might have got a response.

One other note from the game. I got to the game about 45 minutes early. Both teams were on the court for their early stretches and warm ups. Except Lou. She was sitting on the bench, by herself and seemed in a "zone". I dont know if she does this all the time as I normally dont get o the games that early. I will try and find out if this was just for the game the other night, Big game vs other top rival OC team, or she does it for all games. I wish I took a picture.

 

[HuskiesU]

Should be in ESPN top 50 right now. Her game does resemble Morgan Tucks. She is going to be a solid player I'm impressed. She improved a lot from her sophomore year to her Jr.
Way to go Kyla

2/26

Blackman cruised to the finals of their regional and will play in the championship tomorrow. They've already qualified for the sectional round next week.

Crystal Dangerfield had 9 points and 4 assists in about half the game.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Unfortunately, Kyla Irwin's season came to an end with a tough loss Thursday night. State College had the lead until a basket with less than 6 seconds to go put them behind by a point. Irwin missed a last second three.

She finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.
