In the first three games of the tournament, Tech signee Alesha Robertson scored 91 points and grabbed 44 rebounds (30.3 ppg, 14.7 rpg) in the wins over Holmes, Riverdale and Germantown. Robertson was noticeably hobbled in the second half of the Germantown game as tendinitis flared in her ankle.

in the semi-finals, No.1 Lynwood defeated Plainview 79-41 (without injured Robertson -- she scored 2 pts and grabbed 5 boards before leaving the game in the first quarter) and No.12 Duncanville defeated Dallas Lincoln 73-62

Lynwood defeated Duncanville 69-46 for the title, while holding Texas signee Tiffany Jackson to 5 points.

Plainview beat Dallas Lincoln 66-60 to take 3rd place in the tourney (without Robertson)

averages so far for the top two signees in Texas:
Alesha Robertson: 27.3 ppg for 12-1 Plainview
Tiffany Jackson: 17.8 ppg for 13-1 Duncanville

news on other signees:

"Canyon used the all-around play of (Tech signee) Brooke Baughman to defeat Lubbock 71-52 in the Gene Messer Tournament of Champions," according to the Amarillo Globe-News.
"senior Baughman showed her most valuable player stuff" by canning five of seven three-point attempts and scoring 25 points.
All eight of the teams in the girls bracket had reached at least the third round of the state playoffs last year.

Baughman also scored 18 pts against Brock in the semi-final

big 12 signees to make the all-tournament team:
MVP - Brooke Baughman, Canyon (Tech)
Kalee Carey, Canyon (Texas)
Darrice Griffin, Seagraves (Tech)

not sure how much any of these recruits are averaging

It's too bad Alesha didn't get to play against #1 Lynwood for more than a few minutes. I would have liked to have seen how she would have performed in that game, as well as how Plainview would have competed with an almost intact lineup.

On the other hand, I'm glad neither she nor the coach pushed her to play too much. Can't afford to have that become a chronic injury.
