SES staff was on hand to watch James Keenan at East Dublin Saturday night in Beulaville, NC.  Dezarae Phillips (5’8” Sr. combo guard played a near superb game.  She played point and ran the show for most of the, but was also unstoppable on the post.  Dez was aggressive on both ends of the floor and when she got her hands on a rebound; no one was going to get to it. I was most impressed with her passing ability as she was directing her teammates into scoring position.  She still needs a bit of work on her ball handling and particularly her left hand, but well worth the look.  I failed to mention that she’s has a nice shooting touch, form and excellent free throw shooter.  Coaches, a Division II prospect for sure and won’t be available once she’s seen. 

Tenae McKenzie (5’5”) Jr.  point guard at East Duplin had a solid games with 8pts, 4 assist and 7 steals, but wasn’t enough to hold off James Keenan. Tenae is a finisher and excellent at drawing fouls and getting to the line.   Looking forward to watching her play this summer on the travel circuit with the DC Shock.   Her freshman teammate Jonisha McKoy lead the way with 11 pts. And 8 rebounds.  Jonisha is going to be a force on the post and has nice ball handling ability. Another player to look for this summer with the championship squad with Team Carolina.
