Westwind Begins Division 1 play with a statement

The Westwind Warriors played for fallen teammate Marcus Hendrix last night and made a statement that the Warriors can stand up to adversity and will  fight on every possession. Damion Rashford’s 33 point 9 rebound performance complimented 25 points and 8 assists from Peewee Gardner. The story however, was the team defense and intensity brought about by the entire Warrior squad as Westwind controlled the glass and shut down jump shooters during an 86-72 victory over a very good Horizon Huskies team. Westwind’s next game is Tuesday 11/29 at Deer Valley High School.

PRESCOTT VALLEY - It rained Saturday in Prescott Valley .

There were even snow flurries for a few hours.

And then there was another outburst the same night, this one caused by the offense of Phoenix Westwind Prep.

Westwind's offense reigned Saturday night, dispatching Thatcher 82-63 to win the boys Class 2A state championship at Tim's Toyota Center .

Led by red-hot shooters from all over the floor, especially from beyond the arc, Westwind dominated from start to finish en route to an easy victory.

Smith Projected as 1st Round Selection in 2012 NBA Draft
Westwind Prep alum 6-10 Greg Smith and current Fresno State Bulldog

Last season, Smith did exactly what coaches expect from a freshman big man. He played within his abilities, played big, got on the offensive glass, and finished around the hoop. With Sylvester Seay and Paul George no longer on the roster, it will be an opportunity for Smith to show that he is more than an impressive physical specimen who can handle the garbage. Fresno State’s coach Steve Cleveland believes that it will be Greg Smith who will step up in the absence of Paul George going so far as to say that he can be a 16 and 10 guy every night this coming season, and such a stat line combined with his physical strength and athleticism would turn quite a few heads. Smith has a knack for drawing fouls and getting to the line, but to truly maximize that ability he needs to convert on better than 58.6 percent from the charity stripe. The rebounding numbers may be more important for Fresno State as Seay and George were the top defensive rebounders on the team. For NBA scouts, Smith has to show that his less than impressive rebounding numbers were more a function of the presence of other rebounders than any deficiency on his part.
