Alesia Barrett
Alesia Barrett
Barrett did a good job helping to manage Guard duties by bringing quite a bit of athleticism and competitiveness. Her decision making at times led her into some dubious situations, but the raw skills that she is able to bring to the table is a appealing. Speed, leaping ability and strength are definite pluses in her corner, and at a decent 5’8”, universities may want to take note to see how things turn out.
Meaghan Chin
The ‘Welcome Sight For Sore Eyes Award’ goes to Meaghan Chin, who has been off the court since February 2014 due to an ACL tear. Chin had many of her basketball instincts put to the test this weekend and it shows that playing again for her is like riding a bike. Of course it will take some time for her to get her explosion back to where it was, and to be able to change directions and cut with or without the ball, but what was shown was encouraging. There was a bit of a collective sigh in the gym when she went knee on knee with an opponent while Chin was setting a screen, but she emerged seemingly unscathed, returning to the level of play that she was at, and not missing a shift for the remainder of the game. Look for Meaghan to return and excel from her current Top 20 ranking in the Class of 2016 as she returns to full form.
Caroline Task
Task was asked to cover much more of the Vanier PG workload, due to an injury to teammate Mariane St. Laurent, their premiere Point Guard at the end of their first game of this showcase. Although short in stature, Task has quite a motor that helped to create favorable situations for her squad. When the time was right, Task proved that she could help to stretch the defence by nailing at least two 3-pointers in each of their games and upped her scoring contribution in St. Laurent’s absence by scoring 12 against Ottawa and 17 against North Toronto. Should St. Laurent be away for an extended period of time, Task will likely factor in quite a bit to the execution of their half court sets.
