RNK LYN Dan Top 10

[District2sports]

So, we recently updated our Top 10 teams for Boys Basketball in the area. Stuck to public only. Pound for pound. A lot of bickering went on back and forth getting this list together last night. But we want your input. Agree, or disagree? How would you rank them?

1. GW-DANVILLE
2. Northside (Pope episode out 02/05)
3. Gretna
4. Salem
5. Carroll County
6. Liberty Christian
7. E.C. Glass
8. Alleghany (just lost to FC)
9. Floyd County (just beat 8)
10. Appomattox

RV: Halifax, PH Roanoke, William Fleming, Rustburg

Look at more than records. Appomattox and Gretna would be crushed by WF and PH. Also Liberty Christian is not public. Not as bad a Dave Walls' rankings, his are atrocious.

I totally agree. I'll mention this on our next update next week. There's 3 of us and sometimes 2 overrule the other. Appreciate the feedback.

Looking forward to GW/Northside matchup next Wed. Kudos to both teams for setting this one up.

On a side note, Northside, PH, WF, & Cave Spring are generally the 4 best public school basketball programs in the Roa area. For the last 3 years I've been going to a lot more games. I find it curious why Northside/PH & WF/Cave Spring don't play at least 1 regular season game against one another? (It hasn't happened the last 3 years TMK) Every year wouldn't be an even matchup, but most years these would be very good games, and bring in good crowds too. So why isn't this a thing? Great matchups for future Adam Ward or Chance Harmon classics.

Maybe an enterprising AD could get a new day tournament started: The City/County Classic perhaps? Northside/PH, CS/WF, WB/NC, Glenv/RC, HV/FC, Salem/LB. An annual classic matching up area teams that don't get a chance to play one another.

Your boys also look pretty good this year. Only 2 Ls to a very good Northside team. We featured Cam Boles and Brown in some of our videos. Kids can really play!

Danville is struggling right now. I’m hopeful they can get it turned around. Believe it or not, Dan River and Gretna may be the best overall teams in the Danville/Pittsylvania County area. Gretna has a big one coming up with nationally ranked and #1 in the state of NC, Reidsville. I think Glass and Northside are by far the area’s best teams, especially after Glass beat Northside and Albemarle.

Yeah I was wondering what was up with GW. Seems like they have the best talent, but their last few games have been head scratching as far as box score goes since the Spotswood game. They did hand it to Tunstall by 20 in that stretch. But we will be at that Northside/GW game. Should be a fun one. Glass should definitely move up for sure in this list. We'll fight it out tonight. Lol

GW has been dealing with a flu bug the past week.

I was curious what was going on with GW because I was at the game last night against Martinsville and GW looked sloppy. I will be traveling to the Northside game next week as well. Would like to see if they can play as a cohesive unit as they did earlier in the season.
