Green Run Wins Benefit Game with GW-Danville 67-65

It was the return of Green Run Head Basketball Coach Kenneth Harris to his old stomping grounds.

Harris, who played on GW-Danville's state title winning team in 1998, directed his Stallions to a 67-65 overtime victory over the host Eagles in a benefit game between two squads that will be ranked in the Top 10 in their respective divisions as the rankings are unveiled later this month.

Green Run placed four players in double-figures with 6'5" junior forward Shawn Sanders leading the way with 17 points. Senior 6'6" center Emonni Wood chipped in 11 points, while senior guard Damon Showersand sophomore guard Ashley James contributed 10 points apiece. Senior small forward Torey Fields scored eight points off the bench.

Cayman Wilson, a 6'2" senior guard for the Eagles, led the way with 21 points. Another 6'2" senior, Patrick Robinson, added 14 points. GW-Danville had a 36-30 advantage at half-time.

Last season, GW-Danville earned a third consecutive trip to the 4A State Final Four, losing on a buzzer-beater to eventual Champion Monacan. Meanwhile, Green Run went 23-2, falling to Hampton in the 5A-South Region quarterfinals.

Very disappointed with the GW player who got 2 techs last night. Can't do that this year. Behavior like this will be the difference between winning a state championship and losing in the state semis again. Should be a good year in Danville.

Robinson and Wilson are no joke. Saw them play Cville last year. Really good players.

They are but the glue to this year's team is Cam Lewis. Cam is a D1 player in my eyes. His skill set makes him dangerous. Pat needs to stay focused and Caymen is our big shot taker. We need them both in order to make a run. Amardius Jones is a 3 year starter that should have a great year. Watch out for Tion Burton, Devonte Grasty (who I think is our best post player at 6'2) and our QB on the football team, Sam Branch, who should give quality buckets at the PG position.
