Nobody said Greenbrier was good. In fact both teams I watched play Thursday night were not very good high school teams. I do know this Greenbrier class could have been very good this year before kids transferred or quit or whatever, not sure what all happened. I saw this class play in middle school and I said then and I will say now, they were one of the most fundamental, well coached middle school teams I’ve ever seen play. CPA has one of their former players and is number 1 in the state in AA.
But you are wrong about Peach. For his size, he is a very good basketball player. I was simply a neutral observer and I saw an incredible “one man†show by this young man. I mainly follow 9-AAA because I live in Sumner County. However, I know and have associated with people from all over the mid-state in regards to high school basketball. Due to my age, I probably have seen more basketball games than I care to mention and I know a good player when I see one. Peach is a good player. And if he played on my team, he would shoot the ball a lot, it just makes good sense if he shoots like he did the other night; against man to man and pulling up and shooting over taller opponents, driving the lane and hitting floaters, etc.
If he is an average high school player, then why is he the leading scorer in 9-AA? He has to be in the top 10 in the mid-state at 22 ppg. An average player would not be a leading scorer, nor would he be able to single handily beat a team. He could be inconsistent, I don't know, but his avg ppg doesn't reflect that.
I get agitated when people get on these boards and belittle teenagers. I know people are allowed to express their opinion and I respect that to a certain extent. However, adults and children alike need to understand the concept of humility and the world wide web.
