4 local boys named all-state in b-ball

[imported_aoaofficial]

Adkins is a good spot shooter (Salyers from Gate City was better) who plays very little defense on a team that didn't even make it to regions. [/quote]


Adkins is a lot better shooter than Salyers. I've seen them both play enough to know that. Salyers is a streak shooter.

Remember that this all state team is made up of sports writers. Not everyone sees these guys. How can you have a true all state team based on stats alone. What should count is how did the guy do against the top teams in the area or at the state level. If you base it on that, then Anderson should definately be on it. He doesn't play much defense though.

ANDREW ADKINS IS THE BEST PLAYER IN SW VA. How many other players with a year to go has 1600 plus points?????? Instead of bashing him we should be proud to have a player of his talent in this area. Also, he is a straight A student.

Not sure there is anyone in Region D I would pick for an all-state team, but AA is definitely one of the better players in our area. I honestly believe AA could start on any single-A team in SWVA.

I've often wondered though how some of the better players in our area would do if they were placed on a team like Dobyns Bennett or Science Hill.
