INSIDE THE HUDDLE - Lipan vs Wall at LCU Team Camp

Lipan Lady Indians LCU Team Camp Red Division Champions ~ Parker Liles for Sideline Sports

LCU Team Camp featured 3 days of basketball across 13 courts, but one matchup stood above the rest for me and if you weren't keeping an eagle eye on the schedule you might have missed it!

Tucked away in Rip North was a showdown between 2 defending State Champions and 2 State Tournament MVPs as Lipan's Sydni Gaylor and Wall's Jewels Johnson went head-to-head.

Gaylor and the Lady Indians pulled away late for a convincing win, showing why Lipan enters the season as the heavy favorite to lift the trophy again in the Alamo Dome. The defending 2A State Champions looked every bit the part, eventually rolling to the Red Division Championship. With Gaylor, Kynzi Callaway, Skylar Harrison, and Jacy Bolton all returning after playing every minute of last year's State Championship win over Martins Mill, this group already looks to be in midseason form.

Wall may have graduated 60% of its starting lineup from its State Championship team, but the future is bright. Even in June, you can see the potential surrounding Jewels Johnson and McKenzie Lopez as the Lady Hawks begin writing their next chapter.

If LCU Team Camp handed out an MVP award, my vote would go to Gaylor.

She's relentless on both ends of the floor, impacts every possession, and plays with a motor that never seems to stop.

The scary part?

She's only an incoming sophomore.
