Samantha McColgan 2012 Platinum Profile

Samantha McColgan 5'7 2012 - "Sam" as most of her teammates and fans call her is a "Defensive Guru".  She is likely to be one of the best defenders in the Memphis Metro Area.  McColgan is a very hard worker and she can be arsenal behind the the three point line offensively.  Sam is a very intelligent player, a true student of the game. She is definitely a sponge of the game.  She will be a very successful player on the next level.  She is the sleeper that everyone will look over and one of your conference opponents will pick her up and she will make you say. "Where did she come from? How did I sleep on her."
McColgan attends Briarcrest Christian School.  She has been a big asset to the Briarcrest's Team.  Last season the Lady Saints finished second in the State.  Taylor Pugh a former Bobcat also attended Briarcrest.

Jammieca Hudson 2012 Platinum Profile

Jammieca Hudson 5'9 (G) Class of 2012 - Hudson is an explosive player that have all of the right moves on the court.  She has master the dribble drive to the fullest.  She has the natural instinct of getting to the rack.  Hudson is a former player of the 601 Bobcats from early last Summer and was moved up to the Bobcats Red Team.  This Summer she moved to the Lady Bobcats Top Platinum Team under Coach Tony Wilson. With Hudson as the competition grew she grew in the game.  She became more explosive than ever.  She is quick to the left and quick to the right and "Oh My God" can she jump out of the Gym.
Jammieca  attends Callaway High School in Jackson, Mississippi.  Callaway has produced some great talent in the past years.  Hudson is gearing up for her season and preparing for visits.  Hudson is a great Student Athlete and will be successful on the next level.

Keirra Adams 6'1, Class of 2012 - Adams has a strong post presence and can bang in the paint, she is a great rebounder and averaged 9 rebounds per game this Summer and averaged 13.9 points per game. This Summer Adams drew the attention of many coaches with her agressive style of play.  It will be exciting to see where she will play her college career in the hoop game.  She is a true team player that will be an asset to any college program that she commits to.   Adams has interest from several college programs and intends on taking all of her visits this fall.
Adams, attends West Memphis High School in West Memphis, Arkansas.  She also participates on the varsity volleyball team for her school as well.

Where did the top 8th Graders of 2011 end up on the first day of school.

Monday the Middle School Class of 2011 G7 Hoopz Top 25 entered a new high school for the first time.  Now the Student Athlete concept becomes reality.  The GPA starts calculating, ACT Prep sessions will come in handy, the workouts get tougher, the mental aspect is about to blindside them like Hiroshima.  The Game is about to take a turn for the average middle school player entering high school.  If you played in the post in middle school, the likeliness now is you are a guard and you have not been working on your guard skills, "Bad Choice".  If you took off for the Summer, "Bad choice."
With all of the Freshman talent entering into high school this year it is disappointing that the MIAA will not host a freshman season, due to this year's MCS Budget Cuts.  I expect to see a lot of freshman playing varsity basketball this year.  White Station and Ridgeway look to reap the benefits from this years freshman class.  See the Top 25 below and leave comments in our comment section below, on your take on this years upcoming basketball season. November is just around the corner.

A Game - is Bringing her A-Game...

Most website fans remember Adrienne Pratcher from the herhoops.com 2 Minute Drill Video segment that was a weekly feature on the website, now which is G7hoopz.com. She was the East High School player coaches was calling Director Rod Echols, who knows how to market his players. "Who is this kid that has mad game and passes on the site Rod?" coaches would ask.  Pratcher started Playing with The Memphis Lady Bobcats in the 9th Grade under Coach Mary James on the Bobcats Silver Team. Adrienne had the A-Game to the "T".  She was a wiz kid in the classroom aswell.  she would graduate at the top of her class. Her sophomore year she and Silver Team, teammate Jessica Brown moved up to the Gold Team which was the Bobcats Top Team on the National Circuit.  At that time Freshman Phenom Guard Jasmine " Tootie Robinson had took the circuit by surprise as an 8th Grader.  Robinson and Pratcher was a 1-2 punch at the Guard Position for the Bobcats at that time coached by Fred Echols.  Program Director Rod Echols came up with a brilliant idea that this team would be better than Gold and changed the name to the Memphis Lady Bobcats Platinum.  It was a cinch, because then Rod Echols' theme was now he had to make sure his teams be in the right events no matter who the coaches were and he had to promote his kids in the right way and make sure that they got in feature games to showcase his kids talent and he still remain to do that today.  Now the Bobcats has blossomed from 2 teams to a 6 high school teams and 1 middle school "super team".  The A-Game has moved on with her great ability to showcase herself and signed with the Texas A&M Aggies and now is a National Champion.  Adrienne has a bright future ahead of her and is a roll model student athlete at the university and she has set a milestone goal for herself and the Bobcats program as the first player of the program to play on a National Championship Team.  Program Director Rod Echols prays that she won't be the last.  The next goal is who will be the first Bobcat to sign in the WNBA.
