Danville Christian vs. Sacred Heart at 7:00 tonight. Would'nt it be great if Mbugua would get the better of the girl who spurned us.
UL commit Grace Mbugua vs. Za'Kiyah Johnson tonight in Girls LIT !
- Thread starter Birdie King
- Start date
They don’t guard each other because they play separate positions one a guard and the other a forward. I wish I was in town I would like to watch that game. Sacred Heart has a really good team so Johnson has a supporting cast that would take the pressure off of her. I don’t have any knowledge on Danville I would love to see Mbugua have a really good game though. As far as I am concerned Johnson is nonexistent to me. I hope if things don’t work out for her in Baton Rouge I hope CJW doesn’t give her the opportunity to come home.
Sacred Heart won going away. Grace had about 16 points and started throwing up 3's after being triple teamed inside. Legitimate 6-5 and has a nice touch. Thought she could have blocked / alerted more shots inside. Johnson had about 18 and didn't play most of the 4thQ.
Mbugua needs to get a lot stronger (she was injured earlier this year) and get better coaching. She is a project but has potential - hope she is still growing
I saw her walk in to Church along side CJW, and she is as BK stated “legitimate 6’5” tall. I know that weight of women basketball players is a touchy subject, that most avoid. I believe that some of the heavier women who are tall struggle with their lateral mobility. Mbugua looks to have the sort of frame that is conducive to athleticism; in other words I believe she has the potential to use her height effectively inside.
