Introducing
The Commits from the Capital City Stars Top Junior Team
Day 10 - 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:
Taylor Johnson
There aren't enough adjectives to describe Taylor Johnson. Taylor herself stated when playing she expends so much energy on the
court that she doesn't use many words describing her own abilities other than
110% Hustle. The
5-foot-9 junior made her name the past two seasons playing guard/wing, but she has
blossom into an elite Point Guard during this past AAU Season. She garnered
loads of attention from many D1 & D2 universities. Her height makes her one of the tallest player
on her high school team which made them play her at times in the Post. Taylor is one
of our stronger guards and she's been fortunate to get smaller defenders
guarding her, so we could put her down in the post at time too. She has a knack for long-range shooting but she
won't shy away from contact driving it thru the paint. A game manager with an extra gear,
explosiveness; a decision-maker in both up-tempo and in a half-court set, outstanding
in extended pressure, reads passing lanes, great anticipator; a complete-package lead
guard. Taylor's first step is explosive
and the confidence she has is impressive. She's willing to use a change of
speed and direction to create her own looks as well as some for her teammates. She does everything in the framework of the
offense & whatever her team needs to succeed. A flat out LEADER! We have no doubt, she will leave a legacy behind at the University she has chosen to represent....... I'm proud to announce Ms. Taylor Johnson has verbally pledged to take her talents to .................................................................................................................................
Belmont Abbey College!
Congratulations Taylor....... remember to always let your game SHINE!
