The kid is amazing to watch, love having him at Rockbridge. But the Cats have to have contributions from other players if they want to get back to the state tournament. Rowsey can drop 40 every night but not sure that will be enough without help.
I don’t know who is thinking state tournament right now for this team. Spotswood, also Division 3 in Region III, beat Rockbridge by 30 on Friday night. We’ll see what Rockbridge looks like against Robert E. Lee as they play twice later this month.
You do have to look at the fact that almost half the team and 3 starters were on the football team and had only two practices before playing Spotswood. By the time district play rolls around I look for them to be clicking, give them time to come together.
