"Our kids were hurt at first, but they understand it and now we just have to move on," Generals Coach Bobby Dobson said. "I feel really good about our team, even though our record is not an indication of how good we are. We are going to surprise some people later on in these games coming up."

Focusing on the Present

Jawuan Lockhart is one of eight juniors slated to come back next season for Flint Hill, which entered this week with 15 wins and with the highest scoring offense (65.7 points per game) in the Mid-Atlantic Conference.

Lockhart, a 6-foot point guard who leads the Huskies in blocks (27), rebounds (90) and assists (104), is just one reason Coach Rico Reed is excited about the future.

But "we don't talk about the future," Reed said.

That's because the Huskies (15-5, 7-2) might have a chance to make an impact this season as they entered the week in second place in the MAC with both of their conference losses to first place Potomac School (15-4, 8-1).

Junior guard Jeremy Glover (15.3 points per game) is the Huskies' leading scorer and one of the MAC's top three-point threats.

The Huskies also have a supporting cast that understands their roles and knows "this is what I can do to help my team," Reed said.

Behind the three-point shooting of junior reserve David Purkert (28-of-52), inside presence of 6-foot-3 junior forward Chris Herlihy (7.7 ppg) and junior O'Connell transfer Doug Howard (9.5 points per game), the Huskies could be poised to make a run in the upcoming MAC tournament.

"This is not a sprint, but a marathon and each game is another mile," Reed said.
