Glass playing good ball

Glass is for real. They were beating Albemarle before their young man went down and they called the game. I put it in another thread, the Toppers have a lot to say about who wins Region D.

I saw where Spotswood, who just lost to Glass, just knocked off previously unbeaten GW 62-56 @ Chance Harman Classic.

GW - Kobe Morrison with a game-high 23 points while Zay Cobbs drops 11.

The thing I noticed in the GW/Halifax game is the fundamentals weren't the same quality as you see from an Atlee, Varina, Hampton, etc. I get dragged every year for pointing out the same issue. The West will have to bring it cause the East is very good. Glass has been the only team to legitimately give the East a scare back in 2023. I think GW has some really good pieces but they are a ways away from being a state contender. Too many turnovers (guard play is very suspect) and too much ISO ball.

On top of that just think the west is weak this year. That Glass/Varina year, Northside won C3 and PH Roanoke lost in C5 chip on a buzzer beater.

Just looking at scores this year (granted this means very little in HS) I think the east is much stronger than the west this season.

I think the biggest difference in C4 is guard play. Gotta have an elite guard like Glass had in Harris or Northside has in their two studs to beat the East. Varina will be extremely hard to beat when Kaleb Wyche is 100%, Monacan has Amare Cooper who I believe is the most underrated guard in all of VA and then you got Atlee and some very good teams in the east in Hampton Denbigh, Smithfield and Churchland. The guard play has to be good to beat those teams. In the West right now I’d go 1. Handley 2. Glass and GW 4. Halifax.
