Richlands Question

They have a senior heavy team. I think most of their starters are 6'4 or 6'5" and all of them can shoot the ball. At least that was they team they had last year. They lost their post player Lowe and I think their overall best player transferred to Bluefield WV. Still a really good team that can beat anyone if their 3 pt shots are falling. They take ALOT of shots from the arc.

Ball, Phillips, Horn, Horn, Ratliff, Herndon...They can all play. They are very dangerous. But if their shots aren't falling from downtown.... Anyone can beat them. I guess they are like Draft in a way...But play good defense and are very athletic.

Thank you SharkFan! Really appreciate it!
 
@Ryan4VT have you seen the Blue Tornado basketball team this year?
I have. @sharkfan83 is pretty much on it. Team is led by 6'4 Luke Phillips and 6'4 Scottie Ball (he's the one who made "the catch" against Stuarts Draft in football). Ratliff is the PG, Herndon is the SG. Herndon is streaky, but when he's on, it's lights out. I've seen him single-handedly take over a game from behind the arc. Smith is the 5th starter. All five starters are seniors. Every player on the court can hit a 3 at any time. Their two off the bench are brother, Taylor and Caleb horn. Caleb is the best 3 point shooter on the team. Taylor is a lot like Chris Clarke for VT, he's the energy guy who flies around and does everything.

Defensively, they normally go full court press. Last night against Union they went 2-3 zone the entire first half and then put the pressure on in the middle of the 3rd and it threw Union all over the place.

If this team is hitting it's 3's, they can play with anyone. If they aren't, Virginia High can beat them.

Thanks bro! Should be a great game against Chatham. Good luck to your Blue Tornado!
