Basketball Blowout

This Saturday, the Virginia basketball team had its exhibition game against Roanoke. Despite being picked to place 11^th in the preseason poll, the Virginia team quickly gained an impressive lead against Roanoke and maintained it throughout the entire game. Even without guard Sammy Zeglinski, the team was able to win a 82-50 victory. In my eyes, our most impressive player was our senior forward Mike Scott. With 16 points and seven rebounds, he had quite a presence under the basket and was recently named one of the co-captains along with seniors Mustapha Farrakhan and Will Sherrill. This game was definitely a chance to try out all parts of the team, with five freshmen on the court at some parts of the game. We have seven freshman on the team this year, and it seems they will play a very actively team for the future of our team. Though Roanoke may not have been that difficult an opponent, a victory is a victory. Way to start off the season!
