Game Notes from Shenandoah vs. Shepherd
- Hornets lack depth in the front court but #50 Schrader and Kline do a good job. Both have a solid inside out game.
- Chris Schrader hit 2 3-pointers then had a big lefty dunk going baseline for the first 8 points.
- Guard Steven Johns performed solid....he's just a great all-around player and leads by example out there.
- The Hornets started Kenny Robertson at the point. He's solid. Nothing stood out though. He had a nice drive in the 2nd half. While the other hornet guard pushed the ball he was a little passive.
- Starting on the wing was Lamar Bentley a returner. He started off shaky and had a couple mental lapses. He is a good set shooter and showed his hops in warm-ups.
Key subs were
-Soph. #1 Nick Brown at the point....great offensive threat. Strung together a nice couple of buckets. Great hands of D causing a jump ball and stripping the ball away twice. Pushes the ball really hard. I like his confidence and wish we would've seen a little more of him.
- On the wing was new addition Jr. #0 Wayne Washington...about 6'1 but plays 6'6....great athlete, quick, and enjoys defense. He's no slouch on offense either. He had a nice drive and floated to avoid the charge in the 1st half. He knocked down a corner three, and came off a curl and converted. I'd say he's one of the more complete players on the roster. Needs to finish around the basket a little better he missed 2 tough lay-ups when he should've just dunked it.
- #23 Craig Fortune showed why he could be a problem for a lot of teams... 6'5 on the wing. He had 2 great blocks that were called fouls....He can easily shoot over the D in the paint. Still not the best with the ball in his hands on the perimeter but the potential is scary.
-#24 sharpshooter Brandon Bryan wasn't gun shy at all. He's not scared to let it fly or drive to the bucket. He didn't stroke as well as he's capable but he showed confidence that is necessary for a shooter.
SU won the 1st half and Shepherd won the 2nd by 5 I believe. Then they played a quick 6 minute session at the end. Coach Harris has a good group on his hands. Just a little small in the post but they make up for it.
