1A Girls Championship
- Thread starter Willflanders22
- Start date
Colonial Beach ..... loaded!!! Is my #3 behind surry and PM. And if it's a night where the basketball God's are looking down, they could easily be #1. All 5 starters should be all conference players and very possibly all region players. These are the same young ladies that played in every state tourney for the last 2 or 3 years, minus a player here and there. Barring injuries, this could be an interesting year statewide with 1A hoops.
While 4 teams from the East will make the state tournament the only from the far east that have a shot at winning a state game are Surry and Colonial Beach but those two teams have a combined record of 0-4 in the last 2 state tourneys . CB's problem is the NND has been weak and they face little to no competition heading into the tougher tournaments.
In Surry defense of losing in the State Quarterfinals last year, they lost their 6'5 center due to injury in the regional championship game which was a huge blow. This year squad is different, now they have added 3 really strong freshman who can score, defend, and handle the basketball. I believe they started this season 15-1 without the big girl, starting 3 freshman and 2 sophomores during that run.
Actually they started the year without the 6'5 center and started 1 senior, 2 sophomores, and 2 freshman. Last night it was announced that 2 of their starting 5 made all district (Jazmine Pierce and Brécha Byrd). Neondra Kelly and Brécha Byrd were the 2 freshman starters and JerRhonda among have valuable minutes off the bench. They have a great press defense and have a great start at the title.
I still think there are four teams better than the rest and it has shown all year. Colonial beach, Surry Co, PM, GW; none of them have lost to a 1A school this season I don't think.
