2019 'ASSIST East Coast High School Team Camp' (8/24/19)

  Looking to find wherever a ball is bouncing as usual, this past Saturday (8/24) involved me covering my third consecutive 'Assist Student Athletes' high school showcase event now, led by Coach William Carter. After back-to-back prospect camps the other weekend (8/17 ' 8/18), the 'ASSIST 804 Top 48' and 'ASSIST DMV Top 100', Carter and his crew decided to again gather up players/teams in...

Prospect Talk: Elijah Seward

Twitter and Instagram: @huncholijah   In this scouting game, I've held an interest in projecting players as 'unsung heroes' for their high school teams, especially on ones filled with an array of talent. These type of guys typically emerge often, based on how much one's willing to look past the familiar big-time names. Once veterans graduate from the program or leave for various reasons,...

2019 804 All-Star Game (3/16/19)

  I could feel the buzz and anticipation in Henrico County, VA yesterday evening immediately upon arriving to the area. It was for good reason too, as spectators would get a final look at the enormously talented 2019 class in the annual '804 All-Star Game.' In its 16th year, Stephen Lewis (assistant coach at St. Christopher's School) did an excellent job with the organization of this event...

'Phenom's Picks': K-Rob’s 804 Edition (2018-19 HS Season)

    Man, have I enjoyed covering high school hoops for the last several months. With the 2019 season officially coming to an end this weekend (3/9), I decided to put together a list of superlatives for the Richmond, VA area's talent. Other members on the Phenom Hoops team plan to release features of their own respective regions as well; we're titling this series, 'Phenom's Picks.' Hope...

‘Coaches for the Cure Classic’ (2/2/19)

  I guess one could say Saturday was a MOVIE in Richmond, VA. Making my way to the historic Arthur Ashe Jr. Center in the downtown area, I arrived for the 7th annual 'Coaches for the Cure Classic' presented by 'Team Loaded AAU.' With plenty of online promotion and buzz, I had no doubt that members from around the city would stop by to spend some of the afternoon/evening in the gym. Those...

Mid-Season Thoughts (2018-19 804 HS Hoops)

mM   This winter season has had its fill of exciting moments so far. The young guys in the Richmond, VA area don't play around when it comes to on-court competition. In the case of pretty much every basketball season, this season has flown by. Each hoops season can take up to about 4-5 months, longer than most other sports, but I can't believe we're already in January. It's almost like high...

‘2019 William W. Lawson, Jr. Classic’ (1/5/19)

  The athletics department of Petersburg High School sure has stayed busy these past two weeks. After covering the three-day 'Tri-City Holiday Classic' last week, I once again made my way down to the school yesterday for another hosted event: the annual 'William W. Lawson Jr. Classic.' Only a one-day event, a good mix of programs from mostly the 804 and 757 area codes, along with two teams...

3-Team Scrimmage, hosted by John Marshall HS (11/17/18)

  After checking out some scrimmages over at The Steward School that morning, I made my way to Old Brook Road for a three-team matchup between John Marshall High School, Trinity Episcopal School, and Phoebus High School. One would've thought a regular-season rivalry game was taking place considering how packed the gym became. I got a chance to see John Marshall and TES in game time action...

‘Blue Ridge Fall Shootout’ Recap

  For the past two seasons, I've had the chance to watch the Blue Ridge men's basketball team compete in the state tournament; they took home the VISAA Division II crown in 2017 when I saw the program in live play for the first time. This past Saturday, I finally made the trip up toward St. George, VA for a visit to the private boarding school. The Barons acted as hosts for the day, as...
