    Hoops Notes: Storied Oak Hill tips season Saturday

    At storied Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) head coach Steve Smith’s Warriors begin their 39-game odyssey that will include contests in nine states Saturday night against Central Carolina Academy.

    The Warriors, 40-1 a year ago with a trip to the National High School Invitational finals, have already scrimmaged against Hargrave Military Academy (Chatham, Va.) and Stephen’s Prep (Raleigh, N.C.). Smith is upbeat about what he sees.

    “I’m optimistic. We are playing better than I thought we would this early in the year,” Smith said. “We are not as deep, but I feel good about our top six or seven.”

    That top six or seven includes 6-foot-4 guard Doron Lamb, the latest in a long line of star Oak Hill backcourt players. Lamb is being courted by the likes of Connecticut, Kansas and Kentucky and Smith expects him to lead the team’s scoring charge.

    He will be joined by wing Roscoe Smith (6-7, Sr., Connecticut, Georgetown, Duke) and point guard Juwan Staten (5-10, Sr., Dayton commitment) to form a talented perimeter trio.

    Pe’Shon Howard (6-2, Sr., G), Baye Moussa Keita (6-11, Sr., F, Syracuse commitment), Martins Abele (7-1, Sr., F) and Keith Hornsby (6-3, Jr., G) are others Smith expects to use in a regular rotation at this point of the season.
