Greensboro Day Takes Down Forsyth Country Day
Every year, Greensboro Day is going to have a great team. They are led by the Hall of Fame Coach Freddy Johnson and is truly on the best coaches in high school basketball. He does a tremendous job each and every year, with this year being no exception. While Greensboro Day has a very talented roster, the thing that stands out most is how they play together as one unit.
In last night’s game, Forsyth Country Day head coach Doug Esleeck had a great game plan in starting the game in a Triangle-And-Two on Jaydon Young and Michael Zanoni. Forsyth Country Day played with tons of energy. They were leading after the first quarter. With Jaydon and Michael being tightly covered, Tyler Lundblade really stepped up and played really well.
Even though Forsyth Country Day really competed they were overmatched by the talented Greensboro Day team.
Tyler Lundblade 6’5 2021 Greensboro Day
Tyler played extremely well last night. At 6’5 and a really high release he is able to get his shot off against a lot of defenders. When he gets going, he can absolutely fill it up. He scored the ball at all 3-levels. Scored on straight line drives, pull-ups, and 3’s. Finished the game with 16 points.
Jaydon Young 6’4 2023 Greensboro Day
Jaydon completely took over the game in the third quarter. He scored 12 of his 13 points in the third quarter where he was almost unstoppable. . He did a great job getting into the lane and creating plays for himself and others. He has a really high basketball IQ and makes the right basketball play nine out of ten times. He uses his body really well on both sides of the ball and is an aggressive downhill driver.
Q Williams 5’11 2025 (Forsyth Country Day)
The 2025 guard played with extreme confidence. The shifty, crafty guard really set the tone early for the Furies. He did a great job getting past his defender and making plays in the paint. He also did a great job guarding the ball. We look forward to following his career. He finished the game with 11 points.
Jay Mitchell 6’3 2021 (Forsyth Country Day)
Jay really caught our eye last night. He played extremely hard with non-stop energy. He plays with a lot of passion. The long, athletic wing really impacted the game on both sides of the ball. He made some unbelievable blocks at the rim. He uses his athleticism and participation skills to get multiple deflections. He does a really good job rebounding for his position. Also, showed that he is a good catch and shoot guy. Finished with 11 points with three 3-pointers.
Coach Doug Esleeck (Forsyth Country Day)
Coach Doug Esleeck has an impressive resume at the collegiate level. He’s young, energetic, and does an excellent job with game strategy and planning. With the resources at Forsyth Country Day, look for him to turn the program around sooner rather than later. That being said, Forsyth Country Day will be an up and coming program in the talent laden NCISAA.
