Gate City and the Radford Bobcats are set to meet in the state Group 2A quarterfinals Friday night at Radford University's Dedmon Center. I think they should have put the game in Cassell (assuming it's available), because Dedmon isn't big enough for this matchup.

Mac McClung is a viral sensation and a great athlete, but Radford is no slouch themselves, with a 27-0 record and their sights set on yet another state championship, this one at the 2A level after winning a bunch at the 1A level.

Radford's got one of the better players in the state, junior point guard Quinton Morton-Robertson. I remember seeing Q playing as a 5th-grader with the 8th-grade AAU team, a tiny little guy with great moves. He scored 30 against Martinsville in the last game, including 4 triples and 8-9 from the free throw line. Before you get any ideas, Quinton is very good, but he's also very small (listed at 5-6, and I'm not sure how much of that is his 'fro), so not an ACC player.

Radford's also got a player named P.J. Prioleau, and yes, he's Pierson's son.

I was able to score a ticket to the game Friday night, and I'm looking forward to it. It should be a great one in a long line of great Radford basketball games throughout the years. I've seen Mac McClung highlights on Twitter (who hasn't?), but I'm looking forward to seeing him play for 32 minutes.
