Millbrook will be the team to beat in NWD

Lost both scrimmages ... totally different team. IMHO, they should not be a run-n-gun team as they have been in the past. When a coach has a team as not talented in previous years will be a good gauge on what type of coach they are.
Yeah they had a lot of talent the last few years. You think their style of play is the issue or lack of talent?
I respectfully disagree with the style of play they ran. They had the talent to get out and run and instead they played grind it out half court sets. I always felt like that group of Handley players was held back by the system. They played a lot of games in the 50's and 60's.
With that being said, they produced and nearly won a state title.
That same system will help this group of players. I think they will have a good year.
Millbrook is guard heavy... really good guards. They will need someone to bang inside and get some boards. Rooting for both teams as I'm a local!
No. Every team is missing a component. Millbrook is skilled, good size, physical, well coached. They will ultimately end up playing Loudoun Valley again. Valley is very organized. I just don't know that they have the guards to hang with Millbrook. Volker and Stevenson are a tough match up. I'd be tempted to let Stevenson handle the ball vs. Millbrook.
Not starting off so good. Plus you said team to beat in NWD not this area.
Boys' basketball preview: Several teams taking aim at Class 4 Northwestern District crown
Handley’s Demitri Gardner is the Judges' lone returning starter from a squad that swept the Class 4 Northwestern District regular season and tournament titles.
Millbrook’s Jordan Jackson pushes the ball upcourt as Sherando’s Darius Lane (0) defends last winter. Both players will be counted upon by their teams this season.
Wide Open.
That's how the area boys' basketball coaches characterize the Class 4 Northwestern District race this season.
“I think it's wide open — up-and down No. 8 through No. 1,” James Wood coach Tim Wygant said. “I think that all of the teams bring back some level of experience, but a lot of them also have newcomers. … It would not surprise me at all if you had a logjam with teams going 5-7, 6-6, 7-5 in our district play.”
“If schools are like us, the district could be wide open,” Sherando's Garland Williams said. “… Right now within the first month, I would say it's wide open.”
A good reason that coaches feel the district is up for grabs is that Handley has so many holes to fill. The Judges have to run the table the past three seasons winning every district regular-season and tournament game.
The Judges return just one starter — forward Demitri Gardner who averaged 9.3 points per game — and a handful of reserves. “The only one that really played significant minutes was Demitri,” Handley coach Jason Toton said. “My other role players were Kemani Curry, Matt Peete and Nick Hott. The rest of them are all basically coming off the JV team.”
That leaves the Judges vulnerable, although they opened the season with a 68-44 romp against Kettle Run. Gardner had 16 and Ethan Schwantes added 13 in the romp.
While he says it's a “new day every day,” Toton is looking for someone to fill the leadership vacuum left by players who played for a Class 4 title in March of 2018.
“They've always had Mike Brown,” Toton said. “They've always had Kevin Curry, D'Andre James and Sam Wise. Those kids have always been in front of them playing. The biggest challenge we're having is who is going to step up and be a leader.”
Toton does say he will go a little deeper down the bench this season. Football players Jayden Vardaro, who did not play last season, and Stephen Daley, a late-season call-up from the JVs, add athleticism.
“The bar is set pretty high. We have to keep it there,” Toton said. “. ... Do I think we're going to be like we've been the last four or five years? No, but I think we're going to be able to compete. We're going to be more athletic depth-wise.
“We might not have as much basketball skill as we've had in the past, but we have enough guys that are all comparable that can come in and hopefully provide a spark here and there. I think we're going to be able to play nine and 10 kids and in the last few years we haven't been doing that.”
Toton doesn't expect his team to run the table again, but does expect it to be better when it counts the most.
“We're going to learn how to play varsity basketball at the beginning of the year,” he said. “And then hopefully when we get everybody healthy and everybody gets in shape by mid-year we'll have things rolling.”
Many coaches feel Millbrook, which finished second to the Judges in the regular season last year, are the team to beat. The Pioneers return several starters, including Jordan Jackson (10.9 ppg) and Julien Hagerman (9.6 ppg), and had excellent transfer Taralle Hayden (from Musselman, W.Va.) join the program.
First-year coach Steven Grubbs isn't swayed by the compliments.
“I've never really bought into that,” Grubbs said. “I know it's such a cliché comment, but we try to keep it one game at a time as much as we can. I don't really buy into the preseason hype. I don't ever look at who is supposed to finish where. Honestly, I'm concerned with us getting better each game and us hitting our stride hopefully at the tail end of January and start of February going into the playoffs.”
Grubbs does see why the other coaches are looking to them as favorites.
“We're a little senior-heavy, but when you have kids like Jordan Jackson, Tyson Stewart, Julien Hagerman and Taralle Hayden transferring in, it's nice,” Grubbs said. “There's a lot of continuity with kids having played together a long time and not just in high school but in general.”
The Pioneers have got off to a shaky 1-2 start in non-conference games. Grubbs said effort is his main focus with his club.
“There's lots of things in basketball that you can never control,” he said. “You can't always control the shot going in, when fouls are called or what's going on with the other team. But, your effort is always under your control. I look for us to give 100 percent all of the time.”
He expects that, especially with Jackson on the squad. The football and basketball standout is someone teammates look to guide them.
“Jordan is a fantastic leader,” Grubbs said. “I always think of him as soft-spoken when he needs to be and very loud when he has to be. He displays a lot of those attributes you see out of great athletes. With what he does on the court, how he holds people accountable and his experience being something that you can't second guess … he's a blessing to have.”
Sherando also is off to a slow start, having dropped two close games.
The Warriors also lost several starters. Cole Armel has been the leading scorer thus far and center Keli Lawson is coming off an injury that forced him to miss most of the football season. Guard Darius Lane has missed action.
Williams said sophomore Adrian Myers, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, could provide a lift for the Warriors.
“Definitely Armel and Lawson, those guys have to do the main bulk of the scoring,” Williams said. “We feel that Myers could come along and help us a little bit. If we can get some guards to help out with some outside shooting, we feel we can be alright.”
James Wood already has matched its win total from a season ago by knocking off Clarke County in its opener. While they return much of last year's roster (including leading scorer Ben Smith), the Colonels are benefiting from several transfers.
James Cornwell and Jacob Medina played at Mountain View Christian and Tyrome and Jerome McCarthy have arrived from Handley, where they did not play for the Judges.
“We're really excited,” Wygant said. “We have a solid group of newcomers and returners. They are meshing well together. There is a high level commitment from both groups. … There's no other way to put it — they've come together pretty significantly as a team and pretty quickly as well. I'm very impressed with their maturity and continuity and we'll see where it takes us.”
The Colonels lost every game in the regular season last winter, but pulled off a stunning upset of second-seeded Millbrook in the district tournament. Wygant is hoping that victory has lingering effects.
“I'm hoping it galvanized their confidence,” he said. “We lost some significant games last year, even though we did not play poorly. They were inexperienced and young. There were games last year that we started four sophomores and a freshman. They took their lumps knowing they would get an opportunity later to really contribute and do something.”
Wygant said his team was back in the gym in March and the hard work is evident.
“That is our expectation this year — to really compete,” he said. “You never know wins and losses, but I know that our kids are going to work hard and that should result in some success on the scoreboard.”
Clarke County returns the bulk of its starting lineup from a year ago. Volkan Ergen (11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 blocks) is a presence in the paint. Point guard Daniel Jones (3.4 assists) is an excellent passer and penetrator. Colby Childs (8.7 ppg), Ellis Nei and Trey Trenary can knock down open shots.
“It's a senior-heavy team,” veteran coach Brent Emmart said. “I've got guys who have been through the battles. Our experience is going to help us.
“I have five or six seniors who have been with me for three years. Now, it's kind of their time to step up with their experience and see where their leadership is going to take us. Having those guys who have been here just really helps a lot.”
The Eagles (0-2 thus far) will face a revamped district and one of the newcomers is a team to watch out for, according to Emmart.
“Our district is going to be really tough from top to bottom,” he said. “East Rock is a good team and new addition. They're probably the preseason favorite. It's everybody else's job to find answers for those guys.”
The following is a capsule look at the area teams:
Handley

Toton's outlook: "We're going to be competitive. I think we're going to be a lot longer than we have been in the past. I think it's going to take us a bit here at the beginning of the season with everybody getting to learn each other and find some chemistry. I'm hoping our trip to Hilton Head will be a good bonding experience. Hopefully, we come back from that trip a more cohesive team. We want to get everybody on the same page, get rolling for district play and hopefully get things turned around and right in gear where we need to be at the end of January and the beginning of February.”

Tuesday nights results:

Handley 72 Liberty 53 ... Judges (2-0).
Fauquier 57 James Wood 48 ... Falcons now 3-0 overall, 1-0 NWD
Tuesday nights results:

Handley 72 Liberty 53 ... Judges (2-0).
Fauquier 57 James Wood 48 ... Falcons now 3-0 overall, 1-0 NWD
I wasn't impressed with Milbrook this past weekend Judges played way better on Saturday I would not count them out you are judged how you finish not how you start Handley is very young
Millbrook... no energy, stagnant
Handley... all energy. If they can get some consistent outside shooting they could make some noise. Junior heavy squad with a freshman at guard who will be good.
I agree, my early prediction has not aged very well. Handley kids are gonna get better as season goes along. Also, the NWD seems to be down as compared to years past.
The Gardner kid is early favorite for player of the year in NWD.
I think James Wood will beat both Millbrook and Handley in one of their regular season games. Call me crazy, but it will be one of those years in the NWD.
The only issue with Handley is if this kid doesn't score 25+ it seems like it's tough for them to win.
Did not realize they are in the NWD. Looks like they will be a contender but don't see them on Handley schedule.
They are Class 3, like Skyline, Warren, Brentsville, William Monroe, Manassas Park and George Mason.
If Millbrook's Hagerman plays like he did tonight ... night in and night out ... he'll be in contention for POY.
NWD (D4) standings as of Jan. 4th:
(1) 5-0 Millbrook
(2) 4-1 James Wood
(3) 3-2 Liberty
(4) 2-2 Handley
(5) 1-2 Culpeper
(6) 1-3 FAUQUIER
(7) 1-4 Kettle Run
(7) 1-4 Sherando
(1) 5-0 Millbrook
(2) 4-1 James Wood
(3) 3-2 Liberty
(4) 2-2 Handley
(5) 1-2 Culpeper
(6) 1-3 FAUQUIER
(7) 1-4 Kettle Run
(7) 1-4 Sherando
Let's face it the NWD is not talented. The best individual talent should be the 6'6" kid from Sherando and that team is 1-4 in the conference? Where is the basketball talent in the area?

I appreciate the excitement you have for your program, but until I see wins against better quality teams I'm not ready to get on the Central bandwagon as a contender for a regional/state title. But you have to play whoever is on your schedule. I haven't seen them play YET so hopefully I'm not quick to judge based on their schedule. Hopefully they are as good as you say because basketball around her is weak this year and maybe this team will be the area team to follow in the area.
