New Kent 97 Mechanicsville 60 Final nm
- Thread starter kwhs95fan
- Start date
We'll find out in a couple of weeks when the playoffs start. They'll have to go through Lake Taylor or Hopewell maybe Norman or even Petersburg to advance. So we'll see.
They are legit. Obviously, they don't play a schedule as tough as Hopewell or Lake Taylor, but NK is a really good team. They're not very big, but they have shooters all over the floor, and play good team defense, and play as a team in general. Two 1000 point scorers on the team, and a third who will eventually be one. Tonight it was their 3rd leading scorer who hit nine 3's and scored 31 points. They own wins over Western Albermarle, who was a state team last year, Smithfield, who is a solid class 4 team, and two wins over Bruton, who is arguably the second best class 2 team, behind JM. I do think it'll be key for them to get the top seed, to better help their chances of getting to the state tournament... Also, does anyone know much about Meridian? They're undefeated too.
Also many might not know, but NK has a pretty accomplished assistant coach in former VCU star and professional player in Jesse Pellot-Rosa. I'm sure having him around is a huge help to the players and coaching staff.
