DeBusk @ Claiborne- Anyone seen her play

[Chrome]

Anyone seen Abbie DeBusk? Scored 29 points (18 of 19 ft's) Tuesday & something like 64 in last 2 games. Does she have to carry that much scoring weight?

 

Stats look really good. I kow they were strong last year. Is she another stong prospect from Claiborne?

She is a good player and has committed to play at Mars Hill.

DeBusk is a great shooter, but you have to ask yourself..."what's happening in a game when one player scores 29 points and her teammates only score 2 to 5 points each?" And you've gotta look at the times she went to the line...that's a lot of fouls! Oh, but this game was played on her home turf...and the refs? ... well, I think the number of fouls in that game says it all. The opposing team, Pigeon Forge, only went to the line a total of 14 times the entire game. hmmm? And I don't think they were ever in bonus, while Claiborne County made bonus both halves.

 

Can't wait to see this game played again at PFHS.

tigermom sounds like a sore loser. this post is about abby not pigeon forge and how they got beat

Abbie is a really impressive player. She's very fundamentally sound and is a good shooter...especially from the free-throw line.

Didn't mean to come across as a sore loser...I guess I was still a little disappointed in the officiating of that game.

 

If you noticed, my first remark was that "DeBusk is a great shooter." The original post asked if "she had to carry that much scoring weight?" I only meant to point out that she had much more points than her teammates. So, I guess she does have to carry the weight.

 

And 18 out of 19 free throws...that is very impressive. I haven't seen her stats, but again I say she is an excellent shooter. I didn't see her pass the ball around much though.

She's tough...as soon as someone else shows that they can score too, she'll be even better.

 

I've already covered three of her games and it's obvious; she's their best player on offense and defense.

 

But you will see later on that she will miss Katasha Brown and Ashley Keck come tournament time...if no one else develops.

 

FYI for LadyTigersMom...DeBusk had 35 of 64 against Rutledge the week before CC played PF...and she played the last 10 minutes with 4 fouls. The PF/CC game didn't have (and shouldn't have had) anywhere near the fouls that were whistled in the Rutledge/CC game...59 total (4 DQ's for RHS, 2 for CC).

 

I think the refs have already heard it from coaches about backing off the touch fouls, because it seemed that they let them play in the last two games I've covered.

Abby is one of the best players that I know. She played on my AAU team for the past 6 years and she is an excellent shooter, passer and defender. Mars Hill should be very excited to have a player of her calibur.

I play at Powell Valley and I will even say that Abby is awesome! I've played with her in camps my whole life and watched her develope. She's very aggressive, a great ball handler, great shooter, killer at the line, and a great defensive player. Tigersmom sounds like you might be a little jeleous because Abby scored so many on your girls. Its not her fault she can't be guarded! I think u should take a look at the rest of her stats, she is VERY unselfish in the game. She will lead Claiborne to many victories this season. Were 7-2 and one of the losses is credited to Claiborne. Abby has 24 on us and she was the only one in double figures but they still beat us soundly. Don't talk trash about a player you know nothing about. I'm sure anyone whose seen Abby play at all can tell you she's amazing! Good luck Abby!
