Haven't seen a lot of teams play yet, but I can second ncballers endorsement of Andrew Bendolph and Tory Horne. Portsmouth has a LONG history of great backcourts, but I would rank this one as probably the best since the Trojans' 1988 state championship team which featured Patrick Tubbs and Ricky White.

One of the perks of having Bendolph and Horne is that both will back next season.

Justice and Seaman of Peebles are worth mentioning.

Justice is one of the best scorers in the district as a sophomore and Seaman is a very good guard that is 6'2-6'3 and a very good shooter.

Ondera/Borden of Oak Hill....not sure if Borden is playing shooting guard or not....but he definately could

Fairland has 3 outstanding guards if Hatfield ever learns better shot selection they would be hard to handle.

Really if you look at it Portsmouth when Forrest Johnson is healthy you have Bendolph, Horne, and Johnson. What coach won't want the starting five that portsmouth has " Bendolph, horne, johnson, williams, and cadogan".

I agree with the backcourts mentioned of Portmouth's and Peebles'. The good thing about all four of these players is that they will all be around next year as well. Seaman with his size and athleticism is going to make a big difference in the style of play for Peebles this year. He had a big game the first night out with 23 points and they came within the flow of the offense and on transition and he didn't force any shots.

Tonight against Whiteoak and tomorrow against Alexander will be two good tests for the Indians. I stopped in and watched a little of practice this week and Justice was really shooting the ball well.

Portsmouth has a very good backcourt and if i'm not mistaken, they have all starters back from last season.They will be hard to handle.

Portsmouth does have all 5 starters back, but as biggdowgg said, Johnson and Cadogen are not starting at least right now. Horne has replaced Johnson at the other guard slot, while in the South Webster game Jacob Stevens was the other starter. Zack Link has been getting a lot of minutes because he has shown a lot of improvement.

Forrest and Nate are still very important to the Trojans' rotation, though...........

I know this does'nt mean much but Bendolph did'nt start against Mcclain and I was wondering why.He impressed me alot as that was th 1st time I got to see him play the kid can flat out handle the ball.Good luck to the Trojans.

Not saying they are the best, but Grillo and Allen seem to be doing a solid job of filling the void when Stewart and Eberts graduated from VC.
