S.A. has 2 girls in Hoopgurlz 2010 Super Sixty!

Hoopgurlz released its Super 60 for the class of 2010 and San Antonio has a couple of girls on the list.

Ranked in the #6th position is Meighan Simmons from Cibolo's Steele High School. Simmons is ranked as the #1 shooting guard in the nation.

Ranked in the #39th position is Stephanie Wittman of Alamo Heights. Whittman is ranked the #10 shooting guard in the nation.

Simmons and Whittman had a very productive summer with TeamXpress . Whittman had a breakout summer and leaped onto the national stage. She was highlighted on Hoopgurlz earlier this summer. Simmons was already a known entity in the basketball world before this summer but catapulted into the Top 10 nationally with her jaw dropping performances . Simmons and Whittman helped TeamXpress achieve a Hoopgurlz National Top 20 ranking.

A few weeks ago I referenced San Antonio's very gifted and deep 2010 class on this site. I ranked Whittman as one of the best players in the city but just outside of the Top 10. I guess I missed on that one.Word has it that others are missing too. Apparently, Whittman has received major attention from colleges around the country but very little from local and surrounding schools.I ranked Simmons as the #1 player in the city and many called that a no-brainer.I wrote that she should be mentioned among Texas's other great players, Chiney Ogwumike and Odyssey Sims. She was ranked right behind them in the Super 60. Okgumike is #3 and Sims #5. Do not be shocked if another 3 players make this list when it expands to 100. Watch for CeCe Harper, LenNique Brown and KiKi Ageous to join that list when it is all said and done.
