Ring chaser: Frye hungry to win Southland; get Privateers to NCAAs
January 10, 2017(AREA GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAMS; BOYS’ LIST NEXT WEEK)
1. HOUMA CHRISTIAN: OK, I’ll quit doubting Houma Christian now. After a second victory over South Lafourche this season, I’m ready to admit that the Christian Warriors are the best girls’ basketball team in our area. Kudos to Coach Tammy Martin and staff on a job well done.
2. SOUTH LAFOURCHE: The Lady Tarpons are still awfully good, too. South Lafourche rolled through their weekend tournament until the Finals, including a huge victory over Helen Cox in the semifinals. They’re one heck of a team.
3. ELLENDER: The Lady Patriots are super young. Because of that, they sometimes look rough in patches. But they have athleticism that just can’t be taught and that makes them a matchup problem every single time they take the court.
4. E.D. WHITE: The Lady Cardinals keep on rolling, owning one of the best records in Louisiana. It’s a crying shame they’re No. 4 on our list. The depth of talent in the area is absurd.
5. THIBODAUX: I want to shout out my good friend Ashley Adams for doing a good job with the Thibodaux girls’ basketball team. It’s not easy to take over a team just a few days before the start of the season. But that’s what Adams has done, and she’s pretty much pulled it off in stride.
