Henry is the real deal but had little help. One player is not gonna beat JM. Even when they got Rosey in foul trouble JM just substituted and upped the tempo; TES could not run with them.
I agree. I don't see them being tested anymore the entire season, playoffs included. Trinity has a 6'8 guy going to Duke and a 6'10 guy going to Boise State and JM beat them. Nobody in 2A has that kind of talent.
Negative. I’m sure Norview, King’s Fork and Oscar Smith all has something to say about that.
Fair enough.
JF beat GW last year too, Eagles still ended up being the best team in the state lol
You think JM beating Norview or KF? Sheeesh. 757 basketball looks legit this year. I’ve seen all of the upper echelon Richmond teams play and haven’t come away impressed. JM is definitely the best team in the 804 by a mile.
Well u have a point I haven’t seen those two play but u may have a good point there
I’m looking forward to playoff time. I definitely will be at the Norfolk Scope for the 5A and 6A 757 Regions.
Basketball isn’t exactly like it was 6 years ago when kids weren’t trying to make the highlight tape to post on social media. Yeah these guys are good but they’re no Frank Mason Petersburg team or YaYa Anderson Fluvanna team or Andrew Rowsey Rockbridge team or the Stith brothers Brunswick team. High school Basketball just isn’t what it was, 6-7 years ago.
I’m saying that a lot of these teams are OVERRATED and they lack the mental toughness of the teams of the past. These teams aren’t impressive when I’ve seen the teams I’ve mentioned. Real blue collar talent. To break it down even more.. Sierra Canyon HYPE... John Marshall good, plays for the ohhs and ahhhs and highlights.
As you can see in my statement. I said probably the best public school in the state. Could they lose to Kings Fork. Yes but they can beat them too.
Bro I’m wayyyy younger than you...These teams CAN’T touch any of those teams I mentioned. If you think social media was around then then GOOGLE Frank Mason highlights when he was in high school, GOOGLE Doe Doe Finney Smith.. You’re not finding that online.
All of Frank's PBurg highlights are on YouTube, I think this year's JM team is better than Frank's senior yr team that lost to Cat at VCU. Frank had no depth or height JM would smash and those were my little homeboys from the burg
I already know you know your stuff bro.. But you giving this year’s JM team the advantage over Frank Mason, Marcus Hoosier and Edmond Maxwell???? Idk bro.. I saw Petersburg compete with a High Point Wesleyan team with Theo Pinson (UNC/Brooklyn Nets) and Montae Brandon (Florida State) who were top 10 players in their class. Lost to them by 4 without Edmond Maxwell. Petersburg had no business losing to Cat that night. Hampton was on fire, never seen a high school team shoot like that other than the 2007 Highland Springs team in the state championship.
I gotta find those highlights. I haven’t seen any other than the Massanutten ones.
The 2011 Norcom team and the 2007 Highland Springs teams are in a league of their own. The 2010 Petersburg team has to be the best team in VHSL history to NOT win the state championship. Buck’s team was very good in 2015 along with Bird in 2017 and Varina in 2018 (though I thought they were actually deeper last year). JM will win this years 2A championship easily. None of their games will be close. I do think that Martinsville or Dan River could give them a little trouble. JM would pull away mid 3rd.
I agree, JM has the ability to take ANY teams best shot and still roll into the last 2 quarters. I mean, they were basically one bad 3 qtr away from hanging with Sierra Canyon to the finish.
Don’t call me dude, you don’t know me. That isn’t a video of Frank Mason playing for Petersburg and that video of Doe Doe isn’t even a video of him solely, it’s a video of a very very very deep Norcom team and James McAdoo. That’s nothing compared to what the kids have now. As good as Mac McClung was at Gate City, he was known because of his social media dunks and plays. Frank Mason was doing the same stuff, however, you didn’t see it on social media.. You read about it in the paper or heard it from word of mouth. I was in high school when Frank, Finney Smith, Big Cat Barber, McAdoo, Rowsey, etc where playing ball.. They didn’t have the platform on social media like these kids have it today.. Not even close. A couple of the NC guys did like PJ Hairston, Reggie Bullock, JT Terrell, Ian Miller.. But that was with Ball Is Life and they all were ACC guys. Teams like Highland Springs football, John Marshall and Varina basketball have Slam Magazine cover their games.. Every player have at least a minute and a half highlight of them dunking, making somebody fall or shooting a 3.. HELL, kids even post their warmup shots and dunks...Which takes me back to my initial point that a GREAT majority of kids now play for the highlight.
The 757 is legit every year
Ben Moore Fall League is loaded, that's what prepares JM for those late season runs. I always try and catch at least a couple each year.
Son you like arguing over nothing. I know it’s not much to do out there in Marion or Wise or Bristol or wherever you’re from so I get it. If you think these SOFT kids these days could play back in the 2000s against some of the names I’ve named then you’re terribly mistaken.. You wouldn’t know anything about the 06 Booker T team or the 2007 Highland Springs team or the 08, 09, 10, and 12 Petersburg teams..1 because there’s not a lot of information about them online and 2 you don’t even have a clue because you’re 7 hours away from watching what I consider elite talent
