6'2 Senior Samage Teel (Farmville Central) 'A Statement Performance'
There may be no bigger stage than the John Wall Holiday Invitational held at Broughton High School over the Christmas Holidays. For Samage Teel, he has been a vital part of the 32-0 team that went undefeated and won the NCHSAA 2A state championship last season. Teammates Justin Wright has signed to play at NC Central and junior wing Terquavion Smith has verballed to NC State.
As the old saying goes, 'Big time players step up in big time games,' and this statement is custom made for 6'2 senior guard Samage Teel. We're talking about a strong, athletic and all-around combo guard that can easily transition from point guard to scoring guard, which is exactly what he did at the John Wall Holiday Invitational, against two of the top teams in the country. For the three games, Teel averaged 24 PPG, went 22-44 from the floor, 4-10 from the free throw line, and an impressive 24-27 from the free throw line. He averaged 4.3 RPG and 3.0 APG.
To put it mildly, Teel has the complete package. He can score, handle, pass, rebound and defend and is without question the 'glue guy' for this talented Farmville Central team. In the game against the No. 4 team in the country, The Patrick School, Teel finished with 20 points, going 4-13 from the floor, 2-7 from the 3-point line, and 10-12 from the free throw line. He collected six rebounds, dished out four assists and had two steals with only committing one turnover for the game.
In the third-place game against Millbrook, who is nationally ranked in the top 20, Teel finished with 30 points, going 9-19 from the floor, 2-6 from the 3-point line, and 10-11 from the free throw line. He also collected four rebounds, dished out four assists and even had two steals.
