Outside shooting cold
for Goochland
Last Wednesday was one of
those nights best forgotten for the
Goochland Bulldogs boys’ basketball
team.
The Monticello Mustangs brought
their high energy, fast paced style of
play to the Goochland gym and simply
overwhelmed the Bulldogs, 70-
49, in a Jefferson District matchup.
“We were outplayed in every
phase of the game tonight and never
got going,” said Goochland head
coach Oliver Courtney. “We missed
shots we should have made and made
mistakes you can’t afford to make
against a team like Monticello.”
It was only minutes into the
game when Courtney took his first
timeout with the score 12-4. The
resulting efforts concentrated on
stopping the Mustang guards, who
were dominant on both ends of the
court.
But nothing seemed to work
against Monticello (2-2, 1-1
Jefferson District) and the opening
quarter ended with the Bulldogs on
the trailing end of a 16-7 score.
In the second period, a couple
of spectacular plays by Goochland’s
Tim Miller coupled with some accurate
three point shooting pulled the
Bulldogs within two at 16-14, but
the Mustangs responded with an
offensive run that resulted in a 34-24
halftime lead.
Monticello continued their up
tempo fast break game in the second
half and the Bulldogs just couldn’t
keep up with Mustang guards Jahlil
Mosley, Banes.
“I thought we played well tonight
and we depended on our guards
and that’s our game,” said Mustang
coach Kareem Martin. “That’s going
to be the key to what we do. They’re
lightning fast.”
Martin said he’s still waiting for
his “bigs” to come along to complement
the excellent guard play. “Once
they’re involved, we’ll be that much

came in late in the game and played well, scoring four points.
more dangerous,” he added.
Mosley led all Mustang scorers
with 18 while Banes recorded nine.
Kevin Archer had 14 points and
Denzell Terry had 12; all of them
from the guard position.
Martin’s team started out slow
with two close losses but has since
evened its record.
“We’ve still got a lot of things we
need to work on, but once our inside
play improves, we’ll have it all come
together,” he said.
Meanwhile, Goochland is still
looking for answers. “Looks like
everyone we’re meeting is playing
well, so we have to adjust the way we
play these teams,” Courtney said following
the loss. “We got outplayed
all the way around, so there’s not
much you take away from a game
like this one.”
Courtney said he’d stress the
basics like rebounding and defense
and instill the need for improvement.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
Courtney feels those improvements
will have to come from the
outside shooters in order to make
the inside game work. Every team
is aware that the Bulldog’s strength
comes in the form of 6-6 center
Corbyn Jackson, and they key on
him. Therefore, that should lead to
uncontested outside shots.
“There are shots open that we
are not making from the outside,”
Courtney said. “Until we do, every
team is going to sag in on the big
man. Until we put the ball in the
hole, the other teams are taking
away our main threat and that’s
tough.”
Even with the extra attention,
Jackson led all scorers with 17 points,
while Tim Miller added 11.
On Friday night, the Bulldogs
turned in a hard effort but suffered
another home loss 58-51, this time
to Orange County, falling to 0-3 in
the Jefferson District play.
The Bulldog girls and boys have
a week off to improve before returning
to action this Friday for a home
showdown against Louisa. It will be
the teams’ final home game before
the Christmas break. The girls’ game
begins at 6 p.m. and the boys take
the court at 7:30 p.m.
