Any thoughts on blake justice from peebles this year?

The best shooter around.

Awesome!

Good ball player that plays in a weak league...

Weak League.....the small school divison in the SHL has some very good teams this upcoming year. Manchester, Whiteoak and Fairfield are all very good teams and all of them have a chance to go far in the tournament....GO SHL!!!

The league is not that strong.......Look at what the league did in the tourneys last year.

SVC's 3rd place ZT team hammered Peebles. Should have beaten NA.
NA could have lost 3 tourney games instead of 1 .....lol

NA could have but did not lose 3 games...plus they had the Divison 3 player of the year....For the small school divison Manchester and Fairfield made it to the District last season...Whiteoak will be alot better this season...and Peebles will have a good season too...Now you can take any team and put them in the SHL and they have a tough road ahead of them...When you have to travel to North Adams, Manchester, Eastern, Whiteoak, West Union, Fairfield, Peebles, Lynchburg and Ripley they all are tough places to play...Now I am not saying the SHL is the best league but not a weak league is all I am saying....GO DRAGONS!!!

Well i disagree completly...they are very weak...not to be mean...but its true face the facts!!!!

Wrong. It's your opinion not facts.

sports 101,what southeastern league is good according to you? the shl has sent four teams to the final four, how many other southeastern leagues have done this? how many svc schools have been to the final four other than southeastern?

Did i say the shl was weak 20 years ago... i meen in the past 5 years...and other than southeastern piketon went this year who i believe beat north adams...and strong leagues...the socII and the seoal...im just saying the shl is really not that tough...but lets get back on topic....Blake Justice is a good ball player, he will go to the next level!!!

I agree Blake has a chance...it will be up to him to get the job done...And from what I know of him and his dad, it will happen.

how many d1 basketball players have come out of the shl? for that matter all of the southeast district?

Next level does not mean Divison 1...next level could mean any divison.

The first two I can think of is Brian Grant (Georgetown) and Paul Cluxton (Lynchburg).

well i remember

Anthony "Humpty" Hitchens Chillicothe
Douge williams from piketon
Danta Jackson Greenfield
back in the day Jeff Lisath from portsmouth

Chris Skaggs from southeastern..didnt stay the whole time but still went

cluxton went d2 at northern ky.

Piketon, Unioto and Southeastern have made it to the final four from the SVC

Steve Yagely (I know I missed spelled it)...but the class of 1996 from Minford went and played at Wright State.

It's true that high school basketball doesn't really mean so much anymore to college recruiting. In order to be seen and recruited by D1 Coaches kids must play AAU abroad. That's where coaches can see how competitors match with like talent. This is exactly where Blake Justice has proved himself as a potential D1 candidate. As a member of the Cleveland, Ohio based AAU Organization - CBIZ, Justice hold-his-own against powerhouse opponents like Traevon Jackson, Trey Burke, Trey Lewis, & Stevie Taylor. The next two season of high school basketball will be fun for Justice as he'll likely pour-in hundreds of buckets; however, his next two seasons of AAU will more than likely affect where he'll play next.

Justice is a shooter, a scorer, an academic performer, and an all around good kid. Eventually he will play where he is supposed to play.

Wishing him the very best at Peebles and beyond!
