They also can stretch the defense a bit with good shooters like point guard Landon Rice and Kameron Head coach James Stackhouse says in his teams season opening game against East Forsyth they were inconsistent and didn't play well when the game got close. They wound up losing in overtime to the Eagles by four points. They bounced back 24 hours later to soundly beat Winston-Salem Prep in a runaway. "I was concerned going into the game against Winston-Salem Prep because I didn't know how they would respond," said Stackhouse. "1 told them what they needed to work on and that they needed to be more consistent and if they got a lead they needed to continue to build on it by doing the things we work on in practice. I was pleased with the way they played because they didn't let up. Stackhouse preaches tough defense, playing inside out, boxing out and allowing only one shot per possession from the opponent. He says if his team does all of those things well they will have a chance to compete in every game. The Raiders have a veteran team with only five freshman on the team. Stackhouse says he antici pates his team will nave a good showing at this years tournament. He says with the things they work on in practice will manifest them selves in the tournament. Team Captain and only returning JV player from last year, Landon Rice, will run the show at the point for Reagan. When asked about Rice, Stackhouse said, "he is smart, he is heady and he controls the tempo well. He makes smart deci sions and shoots when he needs to shoot and drives when he needs to drive. He is just a cool customer under pressure." Stackhouse says a good season for his team would be for all his players growing and developing ana the team doing it as a whole to reach their full potential. He says he would love to win the Lasn Chronicle tournament along with the conference crown. "As long as we come out and give 100 percent effort every game and reach what 1 believe to be our teams full potential, which I think could be a conference champi onship and potentially a Lash Championship I think that would constitute as a successful season for us.
