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.
 
Gretna must be pretty good after they split with Halifax. Pitt County has definitely changed over the years.
It’s A LOT better than it’s been. I just posted in another thread that Dan River may be the most talented team in the area but have been so darn inconsistent. Gretna looks really good and has done a great job of building off of their region championship from last year. Last but not least, I think Amare Word (Chatham) may be the best scorer in our area (arguable with Jameer Reynolds & Kobe Morrison). Chatham has a really coaching staff. Wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled a few upsets.

I got one name for GW guard play Micah Gunter plays at Greensboro Day 9th grade is the missing piece.

I’d love to see that bro but highly doubt it’ll happen. Micah will be a 4/5 star before it’s all said and done and he’s already the face of that Greensboro Day program as a freshman. GDS is playing a very elite schedule and is a top 50 team nationally. Micah and Isaac are both going to be high level Division 1 guys.
