Team effort puts Barbers Hill girls past Willis
By Dave Rogers

NEW CANEY — Some New Caney citizens out to watch Friday’s Class 4A area round playoff game and saw Barbers Hill’s 6-foot-4 center, Kendall Shaw scoring almost at will and wrecking the opponents’ offense, were amazed to learn she is just a sophomore.

But it was the opposing Willis Ladykats who made the big discovery – that the Lady Eagles are hardly a one-woman team.

Guard Carli Manchaca bombed in three 3-pointers and scored 15 points in support of Shaw’s 18 markers and the Lady Eagles “little people” had a big night in the 67-55 Barbers Hill win.

“One reason the lob to Kendall is so effective,” winning coach John Chancellor said, “if if you try to take away our inside game, we’ve got guards on the outside that can shoot the basketball.”

Guards Jordan Cobb and Paris Carter also hit 3-pointers as the Lady Eagles jumped out to a 35-22 halftime lead and were up by as many as 22 points before the Ladykats got as close as 10 points four times in the final three minutes.

Jill (Coon) and Jordan got some big rebounds for us,” Chancellor said. “And Jazz (Jasmine Carter) and Jenna (Silva) did a good job of guarding their two quickets players, and Morgan (Anderson) did a good job of ball-handling and settling us down.”

Barbers Hill, now 28-5, advances to play Del Valle next week in a Region III quarterfinal game. The site, date and time of the game still had to be worked out with officials from Del Valle, which eliminated the Livingston team of former BH coach Pennee Hall.

Post player Renata Marquez led Willis with 18 points. Long-range bomber Kirsten Hinds scored 17 and lightning-fast point guard Mesh Martin had 13 for the Ladykats, the District 18-4A co-champs who bowed out of the playoffs at 27-9.

Martin picked up her third foul six minutes into the game and had to sit on the bench the rest of the first half.

“When she got into foul trouble, that allowed us to match up better and we were able to slow them down,” Chancellor said.

Barbers Hill was ahead 10-8 when Martin went to the bench and Marquez tied the game at 11-all with a hook shot-and-one with 1:32 left in the half. Emily Storm’s basket for Barbers Hill allowed the Lady Eagles to lead 13-12 after one period.

In the second quarter, Chancellor’s girls outscored the Ladykats 22-10 with Silva, Manchaca and Paris Carter lobbing the ball over the Willis defenders to Shaw, who scored 10 second-quarter points.

Like Martin, Paris Carter also had early foul trouble and both players ultimately fouled out. Anderson took her regular turn at point guard and then some in place of Carter.

When Manchaca hit the last of her five buckets on a driving layup midway through the third quarter, Barbers Hill had upped its lead to 19 points, 46-27. Cobb followed up her own miss with 2:26 left in the third and BH led by 21 at 46-27.

It was 53-35 entering the final period, but Shaw scored the first four points of the fourth to give Barbers Hill a 22-point edge at 57-35 with 6:37 remaining.

After that, the Ladykats used full-court pressure to slow Barbers Hill and put together a 12-0 run to get within 57-47.

But Coon went deep for a bomb to beat Willis’ inbounds pressure and converted her layup into three points after being fouled.

Willis’ ploy to foul the Lady Eagles failed when BH responded by going 8 of 9 in the final period, including a pair of freebies by Jasmine Carter, who finished with 13 points.

The Ladykats could never cut Barbers Hill’s lead to single digits.
