Wishing a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Athletic Director/Head Coach
@Ani_Umana
! We appreciate everything you have done for TACA Storm Basketball & hope that you enjoy your day!! 🎉🥳🎂
Pangos All-South Fr/So Camp Notes: Son of former NBA star with same name. 6-4 2025 Jermaine O'Neal Jr. (Accomodated Learning Academy/TX) is starting to blossom into a D1 player in his own right. Ultra-bouncy guard was active off bounce & is just scratching surface of potential
Good opening 98-48 win
@Tabchoops
vs Houston Christian. We had 5 players in double figures as ‘23 Bralyn Smith led the way with 25pts 9rbs & 2asts, Kalen White with 16pts 5rbs & Cole Franklin with 11pts 6rebs & 5stls. Phone is blowing up right now!

TACA Player highlight: 6’9 senior Kevin Paul continues to see his stock rise with his performances this fall. Plays with a mean streak, mobile and has the ability to score inside and out.

@JrThirdkill

Jason Thirdkill Jr. ('22) is a prospect to watch. The 6'7 Wing had a strong season for us averaging 16pts, 8rebs, and 2 blocks - he's a versatile player that gets a lot done!! 🔥🔥
Really impressed with Braelen Jordan (
@TACA_Basketball
) at the PG spot.. Has some length, really good feel. Scored 15 and had 5 assists tonight in a big win vs PSAT
Write-ups from this past weekend from 2 of our premier 2024 guards in Chase Nelson

Scouting Notebook📓⏩
#TABCShowcase2022
‘23 Bralyn Smith stood out as a super athletic wing who can also stretch the floor (he had 4 3PM in a big win over Lancaster), displaying repeatable mechanics. Has a 4.0 GPA & should see his recruitment take a big jump after this weekend.
Great weekend for both are Varsity Teams. Our Varsity Black collects 1st place at the Princeton Tournament and are 6-4 on the season. Our Varsity gold wins the Newman International Tournament and enter this week at 6-2. Great job guys!

Big time team effort as we move to 4-1 on the season. Want to highlight some of our guys that have been excelling in their role.
Backcourt of Soph Davien Taylor and Jr Razi Taylor have been impactful on defensive end and creating for others offensively.
Congratulations
@Thatstj__
Outstanding job!! So incredibly grateful to witness the growth that has taken place both on and off of the court. We’re looking toward to seeing all that God will accomplish through you!
We handled business today at The First Look with double digit wins vs Uplift Academy and Bartlett HS. Really good bump for our guys. We just work to get better

Our Varsity Gold finished the weekend 2-0 in St. Louis with a 84-66 win vs Tenn. Prep. 4 players were in double figures and 3 players had 5 or more assists.
K.Paul - 13pts 6rebs 7blks
B.Jordan - 13pts
C.Cox - 15pts 5rebs
T.Burch - 15pts 8asts 3stls
T. Cox - 8pts 9rebs 5stls
TJ Burch with what will likely be the biggest score of the contest. His transition push and attack off the dribble hand off In The halfcourt have really hurt the opponents
Great spin move
@Texasimpact413
Great two games for our boys. We needed the run. One of the best Unsign seniors in the state
@DarkaunKing
avg a double double. For ones that say
@Thatstj__
doesn’t pass, he averaged 6 assists today. Additions of Judah Pena & Perrico Smith adds depth and production in a big way
If today taught me anything, it’s that Texas Tech commit Robert Jennings is severely underrated. He’s a top 100 guy in my opinion. Put on a show today against some of the best competition in the nation. Texas Tech got a gem.
