X-FACTOR
SIDWELL
Ace Stallings will need to step up and match the physicality of the Blue Ridge frontcourt. The 6’10 big man will likely match up with Jaden Frazier and Richard Amaefule, leaving Aamir Simms to Ross Young. The level of production Stallings brings could be instrumental to this contest.
BLUE RIDGE
Josh Colon, considered a leader of the team, will need to score the ball for Blue Ridge. Sidwell’s defense will likely key in on Darius McGhee and Aamir Simms, leaving Colon enough room to operate and do damage. Expect the unsigned senior lead guard to take advantage.
