I thought that we could dedicate one thread specifically to the high school season's of our 2019 signees, Kennedy Brown, Taylor Jones, and Jelena Mitrovic. I will come back and update this thread regularly.
Taylor Jones:
Taylor's Dallas Christian team went 21-14 on the season. On the season, Taylor averaged 24.8 PPG, 16.3 RPG, and 5.8 BPG in 32 games (Taylor has missed games due to illnesses and her mother's death).
In back to back games (12/27), she put up 32 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 blocks and 42 points, 20 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Taylor has recorded a double-double (28) or triple-double (3) in all but one game this season, including a 14 point, 17 rebound and 18 block performance (12/28). Yes, 18. I believe she was battling the flu in the game she didn't record a double-double.
She has posted season highs of 51 points, 23 rebounds, and 18 blocks.
On her senior night (2/8), she had 51 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 steals while eclipsing 2000 points for her career.
She seems to be heavily relied upon to due the bulk of her team's scoring. Pretty impressive stat lines for someone who hadn't played in 1.5 years, which is very encouraging in regards to her recovery.

Kennedy Brown:
Kennedy's Derby squad was 23-1 on the season, losing in the state semifinals, but winning the 3rd place consolation game. On the season, Brown averaged 17.2 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 4.0 BPG, while shooting 56% FG (59% 2FG and and 39% 3FG). Her team appears to be a little more well balanced than Jones' team, so she isn't as heavily relied upon.
Brown has also recorded double-doubles in 20 of her 24 games, and has recorded double-digit points in all 24.
Brown's versatility was highlighted in her season-high 29 point, 5 three-pointer game (5-6 3FG, 6-9 2FG).
She posted season highs of 29 points, 21 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 6 steals, and 5 assists.

Jelena Mitrovic:
Mitrovic is currently playing for Novosadska ZKA, which competes in the 1-ZLS League where they sit in 4th place at 15-7. Through 20 games (she missed 2), Jelena is averaging 19.7 PPG, 14.7 RPG, 2.1 BPG, 2.2 APG, and 1.3 SPG while playing 33.5 MPG. Jelena shoots 46.9% FG (48.9% 2FG, 27.6% 3FG, and 73.1% FT).
Mitrovic has put up season highs of 32 points, 25 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, and 4 steals.
It looks like Mitrovic's regular season has ended, but I am unaware of the playoff situation.
She was also named league MVP four times:
EuroBasket: 10/2 Mitrovic's double-double lands her Interperformances Player of the Week award
EuroBasket: 10/16 Mitrovic's double-double lands her Interperformances Player of the Week award
