Mississippi Bobcats Girls Perform Well This Season

Taylor Beverly of Northwest Rankin High School in Brandon, Mississippi has blossomed this season and helped her high school advance to the state tournament for the first time in schools history.  Beverly has averaged 19.2 ppg this season.  Beverly scored a season high 36 against Columbus High School in the Mississippi North Half Semi- Final Game.  Beverly with her 6'0 frame and athletic build will definetly make a fine college prospect in the recruiting process for the late signing period. Beverly is truly a late sleeper that will be a program enhancer with her jumping capability.  She can really jump with her 24" vertical. She don't mind getting down in the paint doing the dirty work, a real "Katy the cleaning Lady."  Beverly can also shoot the 3 with consistancy.  Beverly played with the Lady Bobcats this past Summer and had the time of a lifetime.  This was her first year to ever experience exposure basketball.  Most of the Mississippi athletes get missed just because of this.  Bobcats Director Roderick Echols makes it his point to get into Mississippi and find these athletes and put them on the National Circuit.  He is behind a host of kids getting recruited out of the Mississippi Area.  He will go from North to South and East to West in the state to find these awesome players.  Believe it or not if there is a diamond in the rough around he already know about them.   This is why he surrounds hisself some of the best coaches today in the Tri-State Area.   Some coaches have left to persue their on teams, but Echols has the relationship with a lot of college coaches in all conferences from the ACC to the BIG 12.

Kalisha Washington of Jackson Murrah is 5'1 bolt of lightning that will strike you with her defensive efforts.  Washington averages 18.6 ppg on the offensive side of the ball.  This young burst of energy will be another late signing treasure for Division 1 ranks.   Washington came back this season after being bench last season as she suffered an early season ACL injury.  She would come back in the nick of time for the Memphis Lady Bobcats to discover her talent in the early spring of 2010.  She would go on to play that Summer and would raise coaches eyebrows of what such a small package could carry.  Her recruiting is going to be a cinch because she is open to travel as most coaches from a far worry about kids that want to stay close to home.  After Traveling with the Lady Bobcats  players get the feel and see some college campuses that  the players just fall in love with, no matter how far it is.  The Lady Bobcats in the past 4 years have travelled from  Duke to UNLV.  The Bobcats have travelled to many states and will continue to expose  kids on the national  circuit this coming up season.  The Bobcats  program  is continuing to grow on the national circuit as the get coverage from many major scouting services  such as ESPN Hoopgurlz,  All-Star  Girls Report,  The Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, Full Court Press, The Roundball report and many other services and tournament directors.
