YAIAA girls’ basketball power rankings, Feb. 11

Posted on February 11, 2012 by John Clayton

Crazy opening night to the YAIAA boys’ tournament. We had one overtime game, one double-overtime game and one more game decided by one point. Hard to ask for much more than that.

Will the girls’ tournament, which kicks off Saturday, have similar drama in store? We’ll see. For now, here’s one more edition of our girls’ basketball power rankings.

Last week’s rankings here.

Delone’s Sierra Moore named McDonald’s All-American

Posted on February 9, 2012 by John Clayton

Sierra Moore will play in the McDonald's All-America game in Chicago on March 28.

As far as individual honors go in high school basketball, it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

Delone Catholic star Sierra Moore was named to the McDonald’s All-American team on Thursday. She was one of 24 girls’ players from across the country selected to play in the prestigious event, which will take place at Chicago’s United Center at 6:30 p.m. on March 28 and be broadcast live on ESPNU.

The Duke recruit has rewritten the YAIAA record books throughout her four-year career with the Squirettes. She became the league’s all-time leading girls’ scorer during a senior-night win over Fairfield on Jan. 31, when she passed surpassed former Northeastern standout Autumn Lau’s record of 2,304 points.

Zach Smart has more on Moore’s honor here.

Posted on February 9, 2012 by John Clayton

Here are some highlights and stream-of-conscious thoughts on District 3′s unofficial final boys’ basketball power rankings, which were released Wednesday night.

Note: While these are unofficial, I wouldn’t expect them to change much, if at all, when the rankings are finalized (hopefully Thursday). I’ll post links to brackets as soon as they’re released. Play-in games are scheduled for next Friday, while the tournament gets going in earnest two weeks from now.

The unofficial final girls’ rankings are set to come out to tomorrow, and I’ll put up a similar post then.

Triple-jump standout Posey lands at Penn State

Posted on February 9, 2012 by John Clayton

 

William Penn Jarred Posey signed his LOI to attend Penn State next year.

One of the YAIAA’s top track and field athletes will be heading to Penn State next fall.

William Penn triple-jump specialist Jarred Posey signed his letter of intent Tuesday to compete for the Nittany Lions track team. Posey received a partial scholarship.

Bearcats track coach Tony Jones said Posey was quick-learner from the moment he joined the team as a freshman.

“He picked it up real quick, naturally,” Jones said. “His technique is probably better than anybody around this area.”

Jones recalled a scene at the New Balance High School Championships this past June at North Carolina A&T University. A group of college coaches had gathered to watch Posey jump.

“They were just amazed by that his technique,” Jones said.
