I disagree respectively. GW and John Marshall are in a way different class than Culpeper James Monroe. They play probably the best if not the toughest competition in Richmond. I look for a JM GW championship game
Believe it or not when I watched them play Potomac in January..Potomac threw two guys probably 6'3 and 6'4 (may have been shorter) at Todd all night. Frustrated him and he eventually fouled out. Play disciplined and smart on him. Marshall is a lot of run and gun...Play disciplined ball and they can be beaten. They're not as good as you think.
I’ve seen it time after time for the past 5 years where Wythe and Marshall have came to Culpeper or played Monroe and cane away with double digit wins. What you mentioned is smart basketball and smart coaching will it develop and play out against those two from Richmond? Highly doubtful
Don't doubt it one bit. I've seen Wythe and Marshall this year. Wythe is a better team but Marshall has more talent. Marshall is one of those teams that play for the Ball Is Life cameras and want to get their stats up. They may very well win this region but they better be ready for Northside, Norcom (you know they play their best ball in February/March) and Hopewell. No discipline at all.
Absolutely. That’s what I was saying about those two they play their best ball when they get a shot at weaker competition frkm the north. If that translates to competing with the east is something different and yet to be seen.
Armstrong almost beat #1 5a team Varina a few weeks back and then loses by 30 to that same team. They have some nice looking wins. Should advance.
JM won at Armstrong earlier this season without its best player in the lineup. Granted it was December, but having beaten the Wildcats once and done so without Michael Gray playing has to give the Jackets confidence. Should be an interesting matchup.
but none of those teams can hold a candle to the national powerhouses JM has played this year.
D Culpeper will most likely host Manassas Park Friday at 7. All others in 3B play Friday as well
I hear Armstrong is pretty solid but just undersized. Their 2 best players transferred before the season to Life Christian in Chesterfield. Their JV team has size and beat Varina’s JV last week, which is really impressive. I’d think they’ll move some of them kids up. Wouldn’t sleep on the East End Boyz.
Yeah I kindve figured they were done after I watched them lose to EV Tuesday. There was a lot of carryover there from that thrashing they took at Caroline Friday.
Whether it did or it didn’t, they looked beyond out of sync in that loss to EV. After watching that game I figured they’d have a tall order in front of them come regionals.
John Marshall 106, Culpeper 74
