Judah Richardson’s aggressiveness driving to the basket has paid off handsomely, with the Silverdale Baptist Academy senior helping spark the Seahawks to a 7-2 start on the hardwood this season.
The 6-foot-2 guard scored 21 of his career-high 27 points over the second and third quarters in Friday’s 46-41 victory at Soddy Daisy, which fell just shy of its 10th win of the season after bringing back a handful of key playmakers from the team that won 20 games in the 2024-25 schedule.
Richardson has already scored 200 points this season, when he has averaged 22.2 per game.
“Judah is a shot creator,” Silverdale coach Slater Belew said. “We don’t have to call specific plays for him. He finds the holes in the defense and attacks. He is a difference maker for us and one who can create open shots for his teammates. We have seen him do that all season.”
The Seahawks jumped out to a 5-0 lead as Richardson had an athletic finish while scoring after a steal, which was followed by junior Parker Holland making a 3-pointer.
