Introducing
The Commits from the Capital City Stars Top Junior Team
Day 8 - Commit
This is one of the most exciting times of the year as girls throughout the country have narrow down their choices to where they want to play basketball for the next 4 years in college. For the student athlete and their parents it has been a wonderful roller coaster ride of highs & lows. However for the Capital City Star Top Team (Class of 2015 and a few 2016) the journey has come to an exhilarating end. The Decision have been closed down to (1) singular school of choice. They have verbally committed and are now anxious to sign on the dotted line for that long awaited dream to be fulfilled. Each day, We'll add info concerning the decision from one of our proud Capital City Stars. The hard-work, dedication, determination, prayers and the beliefs have been realized. Today is the first of many more to be recognized in this series on the Capital City Stars playing at the Next Level. So today, we proudly would like to announce the decision of the following Capital City Star:
Lauren Ruth
Once a one-dimensional shooter, the 5'10" Ruth
has transformed her game and is a threat anywhere on the offensive side of the
court. She has a nice shooting stroke but also has the ability to drive and
finish in the lane. Her strong build and explosive moves to the basket keep her
defender guessing on what she will do with the ball. You have to respect her
jump shot, but as soon as you try to body her up, she will not hesitate to go
around you for a quick pull-up or layup. Lauren was explosive getting to the rim and
hit the three-ball as well as we've come to expect from her this past AAU Season. Also, when given a
marquee matchup defensively, she elevated her game on that end too. Maybe more than anything, the
kid is just a winner. Not the biggest or most athletic guard/wing you will find, but
certainly one of the most effective. Has a great feel for the game and a motor
that doesn't quit. Is a leader on the floor and when her team needs her she
finds a way to make a big play. We have no doubt, she will leave a legacy behind at the University she has chosen to represent....... I'm proud to announce Ms. Lauren Ruth has verbally pledged to take her talents to .................................................................................................................................
St. Joseph's College (Indiana)!
Congratulations Lauren....... remember to always let your game SHINE!
