All Photos compliments of the Germantown Pulse.
Norval Black, 6’2″, PG, 2018.
Northwest Jaguars HS. Germantown, MD
Grassroots Team: MOCO HEAT / Team Vito:
On the hardwood Norval is recognized as one of the top players in Montgomery County at PG by numerous Coaches. In our opinion he is one of the more underrated PGs in the Washington, DC DMV & anda n excellent college prospect. This summer Norval was very impressive in the MD Elite Summer League in which Northwest finished @ 9-1 & advanced to the semifinals. Norval was awarded to play in MD Elite All Star game and he is a 3 sport athlete for the Jaguars playing football at WR & SS & running track. This week Northwest won their season opener in football & the Jaguars are one the best teams in Montgomery County.
Northwest has the potential to reverse last seasons losing record & make a run in the MOCO 4A & Norval will play a very big role. The Jaguars starting 5 are all college basketball propspects, and their level will be determined this season. At this time we rate Norval as D2 & up prospect. He is a very crafty PG & excels in getting to the rim & facilitating. He has excellent speed & Norval adds, “We had a very good summer & the addition of TJ Williams is huge. If we stay focused we can go far in Montgomery County 4A. On the court I am good facilitator, ball handler & I play unselfishly. My 1st priority is running our offense & transition game. However, Kolbey Woodard & Adrian Thomas are capable CGs, but will start on the wings. Lameek Lumsden has had a big summer & should start. I really like our starting 5 & bench. We are looking for a big year.”
Norval has proven to be a very good defender & he is very capable of 2-3 steals & with his long wingspan . He can get in the passing & make deflections & steals. Norval is very fast with the ball & he can go cost to coast off the dribble & finish at the rim thru contact. He is renown for attacking the rim off the dribble where he can hit a floater, finish, or make an assist. While he can score at all 3 levels, Norval is working to improve his outside shot.Without question he is one of the top floor generals in Montgomery County.Norval has an excellent handle, a great passer, ball mover, who plays with a high basketball IQ. At this point in time we rate Norval a D2 & up prospect & up with a great upside.
We will be covering Northwest HS this year & will provide game reports & Recruiting Reports as the season progresses.
