Price, Baker offers filming for trail blazers | Spotwood

Penn Laird – Known for their ability to get into the color, it is common for Cam Pacheco and Tyler Sprague to be raved and forced to go outside.

This leads to a need for self-confident 3-point shooters in the Spotswood duo.

Use the Junior Rylan Baker and the second Cayden Prize in the equation.

“Cam and Tyler are good at walking onto the track and pulling the defense,” said Baker.

While the trail blazers compete in Richmond in the Virginia High School League Class 3 State Championship in Richmond against Hopewell, Price and Baker's game could be massive.

Both players had great performances this season, and Baker started early before they have dealt with an ankle injury and a price of several breakout reviews since then.

In the 3C championship against Western Albemarle region, the 5-foot 9 prize came from the bank in the second year and met six 3s to end with 18 points.

“Every time he is open, we want him to shoot, regardless of whether he missed the last or did the last one,” said Spotswood head coach Chad Edwards. “Teams have to respect boys who can reach 3S. … he deserves recognition that he is in a really good team as a student in the second year and continues to shoot and does not lose trust in himself. He is a serious threat out there. “

The price has an average of 4.5 points per game and leads the team in fees in defense.

He said the game against the Warriors was the kind of boost of trust he needed.

“It really contributed to improving mine [confidence]«, Said Price. “I only made a 3 for a few games before and this game gave me a lot of confidence to continue shooting when I am open.”

Baker has withdrawn from ankle problems to an average of 3.2 points and two boards per game.

The 5-foot 8 junior has a solid external shot, but is also a reliable ball handler.

“He deserves recognition that he did not complain or pouted about it,” said Edwards. “He really bloomed. … I had to remind him: “We still have a lot of season. Remain aggressive. 'His minutes in these last three or four games were huge. It is another type who can handle the ball. He has speed so that he can defend himself. He begins to score again. “

Edwards said that both Baker and Price are the kind of boys who can have big games.

Especially against the Blue Devils, he was able to “forget” the two players.

In this case, your teammates are confident that the opponent will pay.

“They were big in the biggest games that we had,” said Shs Junior striker Will Parlee.

Baker praised his teammates for helping him to sit back from an injury and return to the form.

He said he was allowed to find a belief in himself now that he hadn't had before.

“My self -confidence really only strengthened,” said Baker. “The ankle injury was really difficult because I knew that my season would go down. I just had to get back from it and get stronger. If my teammates urge me to get better every day, I really helped me. “

Pacheco and Sprague are constantly reminiscent of the importance of shooting.

Make or miss, rain or sunshine, continue to pick up 3 pointers if you have given basketball.

This is the news price and baker received this week.

And she hopes that you can show how it will be paid out in Richmond on Saturday.

“You are great teammates,” said Price. “They create space and when they draw a double team, they encourage me to continue shooting because it is one of my strengths.”
