Final from the Toyota Classic.

Has Wayne improved PP?

Has Wayne improved PP?

 

Yes. This is the Wayne County we expected to see. Rougher start than expected but a quality schedule and time has this team playing some good basketball right now.

Personally I was much more impressed with Wayne tonight than against Dunbar last weekend (only two times I've seen them this year). They outscored E-town 22-5 in the second quarter, as good a quarter as a team can play. E-town had two buckets...a three when they had a kid called for a foul as the ball was in the air and a jumper at the halftime buzzer. Wayne's defense against Dunbar last weekend was...I'll just say not the best. They actually played some tonight. Nick Gillespie (scrawny 6-6 kid) played as good as I've seen the last two years. He wasn't a world beater but made layups, rebounded the ball, and blocked shots. Really solid game for him. It also didn't hurt that Peyton Woods didn't miss a shot in the first half.

Wayne will be a hard out.....I watched Woods hit 11/15 from three the other night with over half of them contested. They are a seasoned team that has a very good coach. Gillespie has come along nice this year as has two freshmen that needed to. They are not the short handed team I saw at the first of the year. 7/8 solid now even though he still plays the starting 5 the most minutes but the others can play. Shelton hit the game winner in the Indiana Challenge and is coming on. Top 20? Yes.
