I attended the SLUH-Vashon game last Friday evening. The Woverines won 56-43 and was dominate. Vashon is very hard to play against because of Tony Irons and his aggressive multi-defensive play. The Woverines employ m-m, and two or more zone looks full court. Their half court defenses was an agressive m-m and two types of zone. ( 1-3-1 and a 1-2-2 ) It appeared to me it would be difficult for the offensive team to get in a comfort position because of multi-defensive changes both full and half court.
Four offensive players appear to be the dominating force and will score most of the Woverines points.
1.Daniel Farris 6'0" Senior guard is the man to deal with if you are to defeat Vashon 18-2. Daniel is a one man wrecking crew with all the tools.
2. Mario McKinney 6'2" Sophomore-- Appears to be a very dangerous player, can shoot outside , pass inside, drive and hit the pull up jumper.
3. Levi Stockard 6'8", 250 Lbs. Senior--Levi plays on the low post and can score big @ his position. Levi must be pushed out of his comfort zone to defeat Vashon. Levi has improved big time since last season.
4. Joseph Reece 6'8" Junior with a basketball build. Joesph can play on the inside or the outside both on offense and defense. Joseph thinks he can score from the outside but needs to be tested. He can drive, pass off to Levi and flush on lay ins.
5. Tony Irons has more players @ his disposable but the big four listed above is enough to worry any coach who thinks they can " Get in the Ring " with the Vashon Woverines.
Vashon will warm up with Soldan 14-6 on Tuesday evening but the biggest test of the year ( Among Missouri teams ) for the Woverines will come on Thursday evening when Webster Groves 18-2 and a 12 game winning streak invades the # 1 class 4 school in Missouri and a heavy favorite to defend their 2016 state championship.
Webster should be favored against Vashon but not by much. Webster has Carte'are Gordon 6'9", 250 Lbs. who may be the only player in Missouri can move Levi Stockard off the low post. Webster also has Courtney Ramey 6'4" all propose guard who can deal with Daniel Farris if Daniel does not foul him out of the game.
Joesph Reece 6'8" may be a problem for the Statesmen unless Courtney Ramey gets the assignment and Isaiah Ford ( Tough guy ) is assigned to the blue collar point guard, Daniel Farris. I'm guessing Cam Potts 6'2", Senior will be dealing with the Mario McKinney 6'2: Sophomore.
