Even though the new Walker Valley Head Coach Will Campbell touts his defensive acumen, the offensive firepower is the early cause for success. Coach Campbell’s Mustangs and Sam Belau put up 77 or more points in each of their first four games.
A week ago Sam shared his outside shooting with Rhea County. Since the spring months Sam Belau’s shooting form has quickened a little bit. He proves to defenders that he is a strong catch-and-shoot guy.
Developing his foot speed and handles will certainly broaden his game a touch. Belau’s shot form and mechanics suggest shooting is the one area he can help the most on the current varsity team.
Follow Walker Valley in their quest to keep the winning streak alive Tuesday night at Meigs County.
