uderricky 10 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Gary Holland and Brent Osborne--Grundy Tee was a good ball player..but best shooter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Bradshaw and Tee as best shooters ever???? Bradshaw never got his points of any shot other than a lay up...Fast break, fast break, fast break....Brad Hiatt is a better shooter than Tee. Tee was a great player, but best shooter is a completly different topic. I would think you would put Timmy above those 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly...I played against Tee from 9th grade on....and the kid was tough...but never was what we would call a pure shooter....Hiatt was a very good shooter....Stoneman had a better stroke than Jackson..... no offense ...but this is a very weak list of top 5 shooters of all time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue5Ramblin 10 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I wouldnt put Timmy in the top 5. he was a good shooter but not great. He just shot the ball many times. I dont he was even the best shooter for Richlands last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool 10 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I just looked at the list that you have and I know that these are just opinions and some of you are young by the way the list looks. Randy "Moon" Moore from Graham was probably the best shooter to play in the SWD. If not the best he's in the top 3. He would pull up from anywhere and let it fly. Just ask anybody from tazewell, richlands, grundy, ect.. He played from 89-91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I remember him, i played against him. Tommy Musick from GC, 1985-87 (awesome shooter) *He became Milligan Colleges all time leading scorer breaking Del Harris's record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 oldskool and Legend... I forgot about both of those! Moon could shoot the lights out. And I remember Musick lighting up the nets on many nights...saw him play for Milligan against Bluefield College on several occassions...pure shooter!

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Quite a few good ones from the '80s... Henry Fortune - Graham (already mentioned by the G Man) Robert Steele - Tazewell Randall Dills - Richlands Petey Ball - Richlands Keith Latimer - Graham Honorable mention.... Rick Hardman - Richlands (incredible touch for a big guy) Clarence Handley - Marion (assuming we're being inclusive) Trudell Hiller - Abingdon The three RHS guys on my list all scored over 1,000 in their career.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Excellent choices that I missed...especially Dills and Hardman! We must have gone to school around the same time period... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhsfan88 22 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Issac was a good player but nowhere near top five shooter ever in the SWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STE 10 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 did you ever see the kid play......if he had some players who were able to get him the ball when he was open ...he woulda been unstoppable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhsfan88 22 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah i saw him play and i said he was good but i still don't think he ranks with some of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STE 10 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 i didnt say "he was the best" i just said he was my fav. im sure some of the other guys were pretty good. i never saw a few of the guys on the list play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhsfan88 22 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 My bad just misread your post. I have only seen most of the recent guys that they are talking about. Most of the rest of em are before my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 10 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 But Bradshaw did make the clutch threes when he had to he might not have been the best but he was a clutch shooter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 [ QUOTE ] Excellent choices that I missed...especially Dills and Hardman! We must have gone to school around the same time period... [/ QUOTE ] I graduated from Richlands in '89. I was the equipment manager for the hoops team from 1981 to 1987, and my dad (who worked with Eddie Fortune, BTW) was the game announcer for about a dozen years within the same time period. So I'm pretty well-versed in that particular era. I wonder what Henry is up to these days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Last I heard, he was in NC (Charlotte, I think)...married, a couple of kids... Yep, '81-'87, I'm very familiar with that time period... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest old_school Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Robert Steele-Tazewell Nick Puckett- Tazewell Pete Ball- Richlands ??? Kennedy- Pocahontas ( he could light up the nets) Carey Perkins- Grundy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFISHE8 10 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 What about Jeff Hurst(RHS 89)? He could flat light it up from beyond the arc. I think he used to an equipment manager for those RHS Blues in the 80s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Jeff Hurst shouldn't been allowed to carry the water bucket out of the locker room.......just kidding, he had a nice touch, he should have been more physical though, he got pushed around a lot !!!!

As a player, Wurst was absolutely essential to the success of the Blues in the late '80s. That said, he was #2 on the depth chart as equipment manager at best. Just couldn't get the floor swept between JV and Varsity games quite as well as that other kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
