Losing a 7-footer is a problem, BUT Smyrna still returns Matthews and Garnett and Greg Bloodsworth from St. Thomas More is there now, so they're still the team to beat IMO, just not as clear cut as before with the Zubster.
Having the 7 footer at Smyrna was like pouring sugar on top of ice cream. No need. A coach could build a good team around any of those three (Garnett, Matthews, and Bloodsworth). Having all three on one team...yeah they are State Title favorites, no doubt.
Lol. Think Cape beat them bye 8 or better.. Cape is a better team... Barnes, Rickards, Robinson vs Mathews, Garnette, Bloodsworh.... First game of the season at Cape... Time will tell...lol
