Houston Roundball Review Archive: July 2007 - Cedrick LaFleur: Exposure for girls basketball

Monday, July 9, 2007

CY-FAIR, TX (Cy-Fair High School) -- This past weekend, I watched girls high school / AAU / grassroots basketball at Cy Fair HS, Cy Falls, and Cinco Ranch HS.

Two tournaments took place in H-town (that I knew about); and, I did my best to see as much as action as possible.

I talked with college coaches and watched talented young girls play basketball practically all day Saturday and Sunday.

After this weekend, I have the desire and the passion to promote girls' / women's basketball more and more.

I spoke with a lot of people who share that same desire; and, one of those people is Mr. Cedrick LaFleur -- owner and director of the CyFair Texans program.

Cedrick organized the 2007 adidas CyFair Classic which featured 98 girls AAU teams participating and numerous college coaches in attendance.

Jerry Woodley and I interviewed Cedrick Sunday afternoon.

Here is the interview: "...exposure for high school girls basketball..."

Jerry and I are part of the six-member "Prep Talk" team which is webcast each Saturday morning on

HoustonSports.com> from 9am to 12:15pm.
