Kell girls improved to 8-0 after a strong win over Hillgrove at the Wood Elite Classic, and once again their backcourt set the tone from start to finish. This group plays fast, plays connected, and plays with the confidence of a team that knows exactly what the end goal is.
Junior guards Asiah Thompson and Maliyah Gilbert were in full attack mode all night. Thompson scored 14 points and consistently slashed through the defense, putting pressure on Hillgrove every trip down the floor. Gilbert added 10 points and matched that same intensity, getting downhill, finishing plays, and keeping Hillgrove's defense on its heels.
Kell's energy, pace, and willingness to stay on the attack are what separate them. They look like a group with real belief, real chemistry, and real hunger. With the way they are playing on both ends, it is clear they have their eyes locked on a state title.
