After watching Chaminade Julienne senior and UConn signee Samarie Walker score 27 points to lead the Eagles to a 51-44 win, Fenwick coach Donn Burrows couldn't speak glowingly enough about Walker's performance.

"She had a complete arsenal of shots," said Burrows in a story in today's Dayton Daily News. "She didn’t do just one thing. She made 3s and she went inside when she needed to. She’s a spectacular player, but that’s as fundamental a 27 points as I’ve ever seen."

Walker, a 6-foot-1 guard/forward, was selected to the play in the WBCA All-American Game and today she find out whether she was picked to compete in the McDonald's All-American game as the 24 boys and 24 girls selected to compete in the Mar. 31 will be announced during the 5:30-6 p.m. show on ESPNU.

Speaking of UConn recruits, it should be noted that three of Walker's future teammates with the Huskies have a chance to finish their high school careers with more than 2,000 points if their teams advance far enough in postseason play.

Lauren Engeln of Laguna Hills (Calif.) High has 1,931 points. Engeln and the Lady Hawks open play in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section 2A tournament a week from today. Laguna Hills will find out who it plays when the pairing are announced on Sunday.

Stefanie Dolson of Minisink Valley High in Slate Hill, N.Y. has 1,863 career points while North Babylon (N.Y.) star Bria Hartley, who was also selected to play in the WBCA game, has 1,820 points.
