Waltia Rolle

Any news out of Texas on Waltia Rolle. What type of talent is she. I hear alot about Bone, Griner, Reed ect. Has she played against any of these players? Did she attend the Nike regional skills? I know she plays for the Houstonians but not much else. Any info would be appreciated.

I don't think she's played against Bone because Kelsey doesn't play in the area during the non exposure events and strictly Nike during exposure time and Rolle had been playing on the Adidas circuit prior to White/Lafleur ugly gear circuit. The kid has improved each year over the past 3 and at 6'5, you can't teach size. Several MAJORS are interested.

Hmmm, I don't know if that's what the story really says. It says that everyone basically knows where she wants to play in college and that Sylvia Hatchell confirmed she was offered a scholarship. I don't know that any coach will actually confirm anything on the record, so I'm a little skeptical. I think the fact that Rolle is a UNC lean is pretty well established, however.

I did say "according to the", but the money quote to me was this one:
Waltia, who struggled on and off the court when she first went to Houston four years ago, couldn't be reached for comment yesterday, but her father Maxwell Rolle confirmed that his daughter has made a verbal commitment to attend UNC.

My bad, though that story has changed from the first few times I read it.

Westbury Christian’s strong start
Westbury Christian’s 23-0 start is nothing short of incredible, and it’s not like the Lady Wildcats haven’t faced the best-of-the-best during the perfect beginning.

They won last week’s Katy ISD Invitational starting with victories over Cy Falls, Morton Ranch, Katy Taylor and HCYA, and in the championship finals, Westbury Christian stomped the state’s top-ranked UIL Class 5A team, Dulles, 78-56.

Dulles was also ranked No. 5 nationally by USA today, so the 22-point triumph certifies Westbury Christian as the best team in the area territory and evidently well beyond.

“It was a great team win against a top-notch opponent, and even though we went in feeling that we could beat Dulles, I don’t think any realistic person felt we could come out as string as we did in the first half,” Westbury Christian coach Reed Sutton said.

“We jumped out 19-6 in the first quarter, and led 39-15 at halftime, and even though they cut the lead to 15 in the third period, we held them off the rest of the way.”

Amber Orrange was everywhere for the Lady Wildcats against Dulles with 22 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five steals, Jakeveya Mitchell added 21 points and four assists, Waltie Rolle had 18 points and eight boards, and Sonja Vuong dished out nine assists to go along with seven points.

In all, Westbury Christian had 21 assists against a Dulles team that came with the No. 2-ranked player in the country in Kelsey Bone, Lamar University signee Jasmine Henderson, and a 13-0 record.

Rolle averaged 19 points and 15 rebounds in the five tournament games, and against HCYA, she finished with 28 points and 21 rebounds, and in the championship game, Rolle and Maddy Absher limited Bone to 17 points with most coming on jump shots, according to Sutton.

The coach also pointed to the outstanding play of his guards including Orrange (14.4 points per tournament game), Vuong, Mitchell, Leticia Cuellar and Cami Olson.

The Lady Wildcats host Santa Fe at 11 a.m. on Saturday in their final game before taking a holiday break and coming back for the Dec. 27, 29-30 Alvin Lions Club Classic
