Great scrimmage to watch. Wish South could get Henry Clay to return for the regular season. Scrimmages are a decent indicator, but I still don’t put a ton of stock in preseason games. SL stormed out to a 20 plus point lead before half. Are they that much better than Henry Clay? I doubt it. But still a good confidence booster going into a tough season opener at Scott Co Tuesday night.

J.J. and Matt are 1/2 in the region. J.J. threw down a vicious dunk in the second quarter and seems like he has even more springs in those legs this year. Cromer will never be confused as the biggest guy on the court, but he has no fear in taking it to the hole and can flat out shoot.
The biggest surprise to me was Norvell. I’ve heard, over the summer, that he could shoot. Wow, did he ever. At least 6 3FG in the first half. If he remains a consistent threat, South might be better than their preseason ranking of 15th in Herald Leader poll.
Hostettler looked improved and appears to be solid at the point. The big guy, Wombles, could be key in cleaning up the boards and giving SL some size.
I was impressed overall. Could be Davis’ best squad since arriving in London, and maybe the best team since the 05-06 teams with Walt Allen, Ty Proffit, Eric Fields and Jordan Hammonds
