2. 2010 CG 6'3" Donald Dallas of Austin LBJ
I'm here in Houston at Rick Nelson's Reebok Texas Classic for the game between Houston 2nd Baptist and AUstin LBJ. I'm looking forward to seeing 2012 PG 6'1" L.J. Rose who was part of that great backcourt with the Texas D-1 Ambassadors where he was paired with fellow Phenom J. Mychal Reese.1st Quarter Houston 2nd Baptist 20 Austin LBJ 8
Right out of the gate, 2012 Phenom L.J. Rose knocks down a triple to open the scoring, followed by and and one layup ...missed Ft...2nd Baptist up 8-0. LBJ has tossed up a couple of perimeter shots with nothing falling. Timeout LBJ, with 2nd Baptist. They'll be at the line. Lee goes to the bench with 3 fouls for the Jags.
Darryl Roberts breaks the goose egg for LBJ. Nice floater by Rose and it's 13-2 for 2nd Baptist. The Jags are missing 2009 6'7" Tim Dailey who is nursing a high ankle sprain. As a result the Jags are getting outmuscled inside. 2011 Robert Lee is now on the line for LBJ...Miss, Miss. Pow! LJ Rose with his 3rd triple of the quarter. Darryl Roberts has hit LBJ's first 3 of the day. 2nd Baptist 16 LBJ 8
Nice dish inside by Rose. The youngster now has 4 dimes to go along with his 8 points. Donald Dallas has three fouls for the Jags.
2nd Quarter Houston 2nd Baptist 41 Austin LBJ 27
A quick timoeout by 2nd Baptist as LBJ has scored a couple of buckets in a row. 23-12 is the score. The jags are starting to swarm, but LJ Rose has beaten the press impressively and fired a bullet pass to the rim for an easy layup. 2nd Baptist by 14. At the moment Robert Lee is the only Jag who seems to be competing at the top of his game. A lot of the guys are still in "football shape". Lookk for veteran Coach Freddie Roland to have his Jags in top form in the next several weeks. I love Donald Dallas' length. The 2010 6'3" combo guard has been hampered by fouls so we haven't seen much of him yet. He's a good student, and a nice prospect though. With Rose on the bench, LBJ is trying to chip away.
