Justices played some mighty good competition all season long, challenging
themselves in the non-conference slate by playing in the VirginiaPreps.com

Tournament and even taking on a Christchurch team with the state's #1 ranked
prospect in Florida signee Devin Robinson.

that feeling, not wanting to experience it again.

lopsided beating as the Justices are ahead by 18 on George Wythe with under a

9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It has been a
wonderful turnaround season for George Wythe to record 23 victories and capture
a regional title this season on their way to reaching the 3A State Championship
game. Today though, it has been all John
Marshall as the Justices have breezed past them since closing the opening
period on a 13-2 run. The Justices also
got a big boost of momentum to close out the first half with
class=SpellE>Taqqi
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> Muhammad's jam, and everyone is
working just about on offense for JM.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>With 2:16 to play, John Marshall leads George Wythe

quarter, George Wythe sophomore point guard
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Maliek

pretty rejection. He's been instrumental
in their turnaround and is going to be one to watch for years to come for the
Bulldogs. However,
normal'>Ty White's Justices of John Marshall continue to strike from the
outside.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>When Wythe cuts the gap to 12 with three straight
points to begin the fourth quarter, John Marshall gets a fifth three-pointer of
the game from sophomore guard Jeremy
Sheppard, who now has 19 points. I
would say this is Sheppard's coming out party, except he's been doing this all
year long and isn't afraid of the big stage or bright lights.

PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The John Marshall
offense is simply firing on all cylinders today and they went 8-for-13 from the
floor in the third quarter, an impressive 61.5% to increase their lead from
nine to 15 at the end of three quarters.
Point guard Quaman
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> Burton has been incredible in this one
with 10 points, 13 assists and only two turnovers, consistently finding others
cutting and slashing to the hoop when he drives.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>And it's not like George Wythe shot all that poorly in
the third quarter themselves. They were
5-for-9 from the field, but have been unable to stop JM's offensive attack that
is scoring both inside and out, and when bigs like
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Greg Jones and
normal'>Nate Williams are hitting shots away from the basket, look
out. The Bulldogs did turn it over four
times in that third quarter, and the duo of

"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Clearly, the outside shooting of Sheppard really turned
the tide for John Marshall, but not to be left out is the penetration and
ability to create for others of Burton.
To have seven assists and no turnovers at the point guard spot in one
half of basketball in the State Championship is absolutely fabulous.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>George Wythe was able to start off well offensively and
establish Holland. They got away from
that a little, even though they were able to get to the foul line more than JM
and make most of them count. They have
to get Dashawn Hewlett on track; he
was the real big difference maker in the second meeting that they won and he
was relatively quiet. They've also got
their main three scorers in Hewlett, Holley and White in foul trouble with two
personal fouls apiece.

PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>What a burst to head
into the locker room at the half for John Marshall.
style=> The Justices grab their largest lead at nine
points when sophomore Jeremy Sheppard comes
up with a loose ball as George Wythe tried to hold for the last possession,
resulting in a breakaway dunk for junior wing
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Taqqi

to the first half for George Wythe and John Marshall has lots of momentum.

PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>One thing George
Wythe is starting to do a really good job of is attack offensively and get to
the free-throw line. As the game
progresses, that could get one of JM's two big men, junior
normal'>Nate Williams or Greg Jones
(both of whom hold D-1 offers), in foul trouble.
style=> Especially doing a good job of that is Wythe
5-foot-11 junior reserve guard Maurice
Coleman with four trips to the charity stripe.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Sophomore PG
normal'>Maliek White hits
a three-pointer to bring the Bulldogs within three at 29-26.
style=> But John Marshall continues to get what it
wants and needs offensively with a Nate
Williams elbow jumper and
normal'>Quaman Burton finding
nothing the bottom of the net for two.
As we tick under a minute to go in the first half, it's JM up by a count
of 33-28.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Let's not forget that the last time they played, John
Marshall led at half-time and George Wythe rallied.
style=> Wythe also saw an 11-point lead in the first
meeting turn into a 11-point loss, so the score
through two quarters sometimes means very little when these two Richmond area
schools get together.
style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>2:43
PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The John Marshall
offense continues to fire on all cylinders after they were down 11-5 and got
going as Jay Broaddus knocks down a
three-pointer, and not long after that they get a third trey of the first half
from sophomore Jeremy Sheppard.
style=> Their lead has swelled to 27-19 nearing the
midway point of the second quarter.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>How much longer will George Wythe Head Coach
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Willard Coker stay in the zone is the
question? Coker, the former sideline
boss at Virginia Union, has done remarkable job turning around a program that
won just 22 games in the previous six seasons combined and they've got 23
victories this year. I'm interested to
see if he has a couple tricks up his sleeve.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Finally, George Wythe gets a much-needed stop on
defense with sophomore point guard
normal'>Maliek White making
a rejection, then going the other way and dumping it off to teammate
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Eric Crews inside and he's fouled.
style=> Maybe a play that will
ignite George Wythe? They trail
it 27-22 with three minutes left in the first half.

PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It's a 13-2 spurt
for John Marshall to close the opening quarter in a game that has the look of
one where there will be runs by both teams back-and-forth in a seesaw type of
battle that you would expect between two teams that have split meetings to this
point, playing for a State Championship.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Down 11-5, John Marshall turned to senior point guard
class=SpellE>Quaman
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> Burton, the tough as nails guy and
junkyard dog for Coach Ty White, to
initiate the offense and he did that via penetration.
style=> Burton had a tough drive for a basket, plus
drew the harm. He then attacked again
for a score. That opened up the
three-point shooting for sophomore Jeremy
Sheppard, who has coaches from Mount St. Mary's, VCU, William & Mary
and many others keeping a close eye on him.
Sheppard has a beautiful looking stroke and a bright future.
style=> He's made 100 3's on the campaign

1stQ - - John Marshall 18, George Wythe 13
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>George Wythe will have to get back to their defensive
principles that got them the lead and keep John Marshall's guards under
control, shooting or penetrating.

PM:
9.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>George Wythe has
attacked John Marshall inside effectively, going to their 6-foot-6 senior
center Fernando Holland.
style=> Any points he provides can be a bonus because
their main scoring threats are on the perimeter in the form of the aforementioned
White, Brandon Holley and
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Dashawn Hewlett.
style=> Speaking of White and Holley, they have
gotten in on the act, too.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Holley converted a three-pointer and White slipped
backdoor on the defense for a baseline lay-up.
It's Wythe in the lead 11-5 with 2:43 to go in the first quarter and the
John Marshall offense has gone stagnant against this Bulldogs' defense, which
is looking to keep the basketball away from Sheppard and doing a fairly good
job so far. John Marshall has had a
couple of turnovers and will need their defense stop Wythe from getting in the
paint and finding easy scores. Their
front-line defenders have to step up soon or else it'll be a big afternoon for
Wythe offensively.

PM:
style=> We are underway here at VCU in the 3A Boys
Basketball State Championship between John Marshall and George Wythe.
style=> Out of the gate, John Marshall freshman
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Greg Jones, who checks in at close
6-foot-5 or maybe right there, hits a pretty jump-hook.
style=> It appears that George Wythe is playing a
Box-and-One defense in the early going, trying to shadow JM star
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Jeremy Sheppard.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>George Wythe gets to the foul line with sophomore point
guard Maliek
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'> White converting a pair.
style=> Remember as we pointed out in the Preview,
Wythe had a lot more success when they got to the foul line in the second
meeting against John Marshall, and the Justices will have to cut off
penetration well to prevail.
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>It's JM in the lead 3-2 with 6:01 to go in the opening
quarter after Sheppard split a pair of free-throws and the Justices turned it
over on a traveling violation.
