Piedmont Area Teams Ready For Friday Showdowns
Winter area prep notes on Piedmont district coaches and teams as they head into Friday night action. Tunstall, led by Anthony Parrish hampered by a back injury, visits Chatham with strong scorers Ferguson and Witcher and guard Juffman providing playmaking. Cavalier coach Craddock, facing Tunstall’s quickness, expects a tough night and emphasizes ball control. Will Rogers’ Dan River Wildcats aim to pressure Gretna’s Cavalier squad, led by Dickerson Motley and Logan. Gretna Hawks, 0-8, seek a turnaround against Nelson County with Miller pacing scoring and Brown rebounding, as Sparks looks to tighten offense and lineup before the game.
