Top ten 3 point shooters In Sec V History

[UNCTarheels]

I stole this from the GR Forum, I thought it might be a good topic for all of Section V to participate in.

Obviously this is an opinion question:

#1) J.J Garwood-Keshequa (top 3 favorite players of mine to watch play)

#2) Jim Underhill-Prattsburgh (Still holds Alfred-State Record, 11 in one game)

#3) Jack Leasure-McQuaid

#4) Matt Verkey -Mynderse

#5) Bob Markel-Mynderse

#6) Tyler Relph-McQuaid

#7) Neal Weidman-Dansville

#8) Jason Amore-Friendship

#9) Kevin Downey-Livonia

#10)-Chris Verosky-Finney

Note:This list only includes players I saw play in person.

[superheroaj]

I could not come close to producing an accurate list but of the players I saw, the best shooters I remember are...

Matt Verkey, Myderse - I saw a game where he won the tip off took three steps, got the pass from his teammate and hit a thirty footer to open the game. Ended up with 37.

Chris Grantling, Clyde - He made 99 3's his senior year.

Tanner Webb, Newark - Saw him make a shot from the volleyball line.

Kyle Downey - Over others and if left open. In fact, I think Kevin was a better PG but Kyle is the better shooter.

And although I never saw him play in high school, I had friend who told me Greg Monroe's range began when he stepped off the bus and ended when he got back on.

[DrewVT6]

I'm pretty sure the only thing limiting Kyle Downey's range is one Scott Fitch and his team first concept.

Kalonji Butler (Spencerport '97), who I mostly saw during his days playing at RIT had a phenomenal stroke from the outside.

Chris Verosky at Finney always seemed to hit dagger threes whenever the opponent started creeping too close. His seemed to always be the "big ones".

Tyler Relph and Jack Leasure were fantastic shooters, but my favorite of that bunch was Marty O'Sullivan who would take his big man defender outside and hit 3ptrs like it was nothing.

[bballfan00]

didnt andy marchand of finney break the section v record for 3's last year

[section5v33]

I believe the career record for 3's is held by Ralph Angelo of Honeoye. Angelo had something like 250-260 career 3's. He was also section V's career points leader for a couple of years before Dansville's Neil Weidman broke it in 1993. I know that Finney claimed that Verosky had the career 3 point record 2 years ago, then Andy Marchand broke it the next year, but those claims were not accurate.

I would not put Marchand on the top 10 list because he was not a great pure shooter. He was a great scorer and an incredible PG (who is doing quite well in college by the way), but he was not as good of a shooter as the top 10 that UNC came up with.

its all good though man. I will tell you that Jack Leasure and Tyler Relph were AMAZING. I frequently attended the McQuaid games the year they won states because my father was president there. Did you know that Jack Leasure set some sort of D1 three point record at Coastal Carolina? I am not sure what kind but i am pretty sure he did some sort of three point record. I also think you should toss in Mark Napoleone. Just supporting my guys

[Williamson Coach]

By the time this season is over you may need to add Sean Michael to the list. That kid has one of the best shots around. He has been shooting (7-8) (5-6) (7-9) night in and night out. He was 5-6 vs us last week and just can step back and hit the 3 all day. Im not sure how he would rank all time section V but the season is not close to being over.

I think Leasure may have had the record at Coastal Carolina for a season and he may have been one of the top in NCAA's in 3pt% his Sophomore year.

Boobiemiles gets my number one vote

[CoachD10]

I'm gonna have to Go with JJ Garwood as all time top 3 Point shooter in section V. Does anyone know what happened to him?

[Shooter]

Nick Kelly from Genesee Valley was probably the best ever. If you are from Elba or Notre Dame ask some people that were around about 7 or 8 years ago about him. Rapone would have had 4 more titles if not for him.

[rmtsu]

didn't play when there was a three point line but he was the best shooter I ever saw or played against in High School. He routinely hit from 20+ with many coming from 25 ft or more. With a three point line he would have averaged more than the 30 pts a game he did as a senior. He was very cocky though and a major Prima Dona, and I always got the impression that his teamates weren't always thrilled with him. But did have a very good career at Richmond and spent a couple non-distinguished years in the NBA.

[hoopsfan]

Here are some of the best that I can remember from Livingston County during the 90s and early 2000s.

Brian Quinlan (Dansville)--Scored 56pts twice
Neil Weidman (Dansville)
Aaron Berwanger (Letchworth)
JJ Garwood (Keshequa)
Dave Pero (ND)
Kevin Downey (Livonia)
Brad Snavlin (HF-L)
Eric Gravelle (Perry)
Brent Gillett (Perry)
Rob Stedman (Perry)
Brian Schaefer (WayCo)
Brian Young (Hornell)
Kyle Johnson (Hornell)
Josh Harder (mt. Morris)
Dave Barrow (Perry)
Doug Voger (Warsaw)
Eric Suita (Pavilion)

He is now the head coach at Northstar

[DrewVT6]

Guys here's a fantastic article from today's D&C on Jack Leasure (http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080125/SPORTS09/801250346/1007/SPORTS)

If any of you are 6'2 to 6'4 and want to know what it takes to make it at the D1 level as a shooting guard here it is:
Leasure shoots by himself every day and doesn't stop until he makes 200 baskets. Half of those are from 3-point range.

"It usually takes an hour and a half," the senior guard says. "I don't stop until I have 200 makes."

Some people prefer to do this with a rebounding partner. I've had several teammate who recieved D1 scholarships and played pro ball and this is what they did. At least 5 times a week, especially in the offseason, but even after practice in season.

[OldSchool78]

I would have been, but the line didn't exist when I played. It didn't stop me from shooting from that distance however. :)

Check out Swartz from Mendon,he's as smooth as Relph is.

[FB4LIFE]

JJ is coaching locally I believe - at one of the Christian Schools -
Northstar, Webster Chr. or somewhere like that - I remember seeing his name in one of the preseason capsules.

I would throw Ralph Angelo & Greg Woodard into the 3 point mix - all the names I have seen so far definitely belong in the conversation.

[Elmira Bulldogs Fan]

Best 3 point shooter to ever play in Section V was Matt Verkey from Mynderse Academy. Best player to ever play in section V is a player I bet most people have never heard of.........Tim Stevens.

Tim played his freshman and sophmore years in the Finger Lakes East for Canadaguia Academy where he was the best point guard in New York State. He was said to have a very low IQ in the class room and as hard as Canandaguia Academy tryed to keep his grades up he spent a quarter of his Sophmore season benched for very poor grades.

For his Junior season he transfered to national power house Oak Hill Academy where he teamed up in the back court with current NBA player Steve Blake. I heard that not even Oak Hill Academy could get his grades up and he just vanished into thin air.

[USA]

Whats everyones opinion of who`s the top ten now?

[DrewVT6]

I don't know about top 10, I know 3 of the best:
Bobby Bell
Sean Michele
Kyle Downey

[ERVB5]

im not too sure if i can name 10 but ill give it a shot...


Bobby Bell
Sean Michele
Anthony Danizio
Kyle Downey
Jason Corletta
Skip Schwartz
Tim Crilly

NOT in order just as they came to mind. theres a few that are deff. up on the list.

[btwine2001]

I realize he only played one year in the states, but how can you leave Marius Janulis off of your list.

[UNCTarheels]

I realize he only played one year in the states, but how can you leave Marius Janulis off of your list.

But that's why I left both Marius & Rimas off my list, I was only listing "Home Grown" players that played for multiple season. Not that it really matters, but that's what I was doing with my list...... Not to mention I was only 14-15 years old then and only saw Marius play once or twice, I did see Rimas a couple of times though.

[btwine2001]

Alright Buddy, my bad!!!!

[AJC3]

Best 3-point shooter I saw personally was 'Downtown' Terry Brown (C-S) though he played a few years after I graduated from Mynderse.

For the person who mentioned John Schweitz, you couldn't have been more on target. I remember playing pickup games against him at Cayuga Lake Park back around 80-81. He and a bunch of ballers from Waterloo would come down and take on (and usually school) us locals. He was a helluva player for a local kid, but man was he an arrogant SOB.

Terry Brown is fourth on the all-time three point field goals list at Kansas University. Not a shabby candidate thats for sure.

[gvshooter]

I don't know about you guys but shouldn't the best three point shooter be determined by the amount of threes that they hit in an organized basketball game. Nick Kelley from Genesee Valley hit 274 three's playing Varsity basketball under Coach Baker. I believe that Nick has to be in the top ten three point shooters list for Section V. Nick Kelley gets my vote for the TOP three point shooter ever in Section V.

[baidog]

Terry Brown is fourth on the all-time three point field goals list at Kansas University. Not a shabby candidate thats for sure.

brown was ridiculous, he got his shot off so quick and he was not very tall to play DI ball. I think he only played 2 years after junior college

[lcaa5]

The best shooter I have ever seen is Corky McMullen out of Letchworth

[Cadet Crew CEO]

How about Mike Fowler (class of 2007) the 3 Year Hilton SG?? I think Mike fowler Def. Diserves it... 4th all time scoring in Hilton.... Tied for most 3-pointers in a game (3 times) He belongs in the top 10

[soccerstud11]

How about Mike Fowler (class of 2007) the 3 Year Hilton SG?? I think Mike fowler Def. Diserves it... 4th all time scoring in Hilton.... Tied for most 3-pointers in a game (3 times) He belongs in the top 10

how many threes did he make in those games?

[threesportathlete]

how many threes did he make in those games?

seven a game. Another shooter from hilton if anyone remebers is Ryan mee. He is the one who set the three's in a game record at hilton. He went on to play college ball at U of R and was the captain his senior year there. Fabulous shooter who got his shot of just as quick as a kyle downey/bobby bell

[shooter 24]

what about Phil Harlow graduated from Fairport in 1991. hit 9 out of nine 3's in a game against Webster. He also went to Alfred State with Jim Underhill it was Phil"s record he broke at Alfred where he hit 8 or 9.

[flwball11]

Trevor Sanders from Red Jacket had 80 3 pointers this season

[BigRed6]

definitely Kyle Downey. He was ridiculous to watch for 3 years, and I feel lucky to have been able to. He was used his sophomore year as mainly a 3 point threat off the bench. He developed his shot a ton throughout the rest of his varsity career, and i believe he shot around 45% his senior year. Definitely one of the best overall shooters ever from section v I would say.

[ching01]

I have read a lot of lists that have some great shooters but are also missing some. From what I have seen this is mine.

Tyler Relph-McQuaid-made it rain from just about ANYWHERE.
Jack Leasure-Mcquaid
Kyle Downey-Fairport
Kevin Downey-Livonia
Corky Mcmullen-Letchworth
I have played against Nick Kelley-GV in summer leagues and he is a straight 3pt. shooter. You can stop him if you get up on his dribble but if you leave him open he will stroke it.
Bobbi Bell-East I think.
Joe Sattora-Avon...Everyone is prolly like huh??? But the LVC news nicknamed him Joey 'Downtown' Sattora for a reason...He knocked down between 45-50 3pointers his senior year and shot just under 50 percent from behind the arc. He was like the 8th man his junior year on the sectional champ. team so he didn't get a lot of shots but you can't argue with those numbers.

I am having a brain-lapse for the last couple and I know there are plenty more who are worthy but that's my list of people I've seen play live.

[GRBball2008]

Lucas Torrey- Elba

Hit 10 3's in a game (and had 40 points)

[WU.Gorlok27]

Even though he only played about 4 mins his entire career... what about J-Mac.
He knocked down 6 threes in under 4 mins.

[BigRed6]

Even though he only played about 4 mins his entire career... what about J-Mac.
He knocked down 6 threes in under 4 mins.

No way.

[DSport]

Even though he only played about 4 mins his entire career... what about J-Mac.
He knocked down 6 threes in under 4 mins.

Come on now. The JMac story was great and what he did was special but this is supposed to be the top 10 three-point shooters of all time.

[theinsider]

as far as im concerned he was on track with 6 threes in 4 minutes to destroy the records.. haha ;)

[gvcsjag2000]

This is a forum for all time, so not sure some of these posts are relevant. But, I'll agree that Nick Kelley could really shoot, Leasure was great to watch play. He did break Coastal Carolina's 3 point mark. Still looking to try and make an NBA team I hear. Relph, Amore, Mike McGee from Batavia ND was a heck of a shooter and broke St. John Fishers three point mark as well. I never saw some of those guys play like Verkey, but it must have been fun to watch.
A top assessment or so of players I got to see, play against, play with, or are good shooters in general even up to the present time:

1. Jack Leasure (McQuaid)
2. Tyler Relph (McQuaid)
3. Mike McGee (Batavia-ND)
4. Nick Kelley (Genesee Valley)
5. Jason Amore (Friendship)
6. Andrew Hoy (Batavia)
7. Chris Veroskey (Finney)
8. Rick Whitwood (Wellsville)
9. Smith brothers (Belmont)
10. Price brothers (Jasper-Troupsburg)
10.

[flhoops]

Matt Verkey & Dan Mueller were two of the Finger Lakes best

[gvcsjag2000]

yeah, Dan was good. I watched him when he was at Fisher.

[flwball11]

Matt Verkey & Dan Mueller were two of the Finger Lakes best

Trevor Sanders lead the way for the West

[DrewVT6]

I wonder if we won't see Ben Sweeney amongst the all time leaders after his 5 year varsity career is completed.

The kid can flat out shoot and he's just finishing 8th grade!

[UNCTarheels]

What School does he play for? Are you thinking of Shane Sweeney from Midlakes?

[coachstew]

I don't know about numbers, but in the five years I've coached in FLW the one opponenet I never wanted to see whoot a 3 in a clutch spot was Sean Sutton of RJ. Another one was Zach Cooley of Romulus, again not sure about numbers but he seemed to make every big shot.

[DrewVT6]

What School does he play for? Are you thinking of Shane Sweeney from Midlakes?

Yup. Sorry got the first name wrong.

He's playing U17 AAU this spring and just doesn't miss a beat against those players.

I imagine Andrew Hoy will be in a similar boat by his senior year.

[200131]

Shane Sweeney is very good, of course there are things he will need to work on but he should grow another few inches which will help. However, I dont think he will be as good as Andrew Hoy. Hoy is phenomenol shooting the ball and I just dont think Sweeney will be as good. Either way that 3 he hit in the finals, clutch

[managerial12]

Scotty Smith or Mike Wilkes...both were amazing at shooting and still are


Kenny Jackson also comes to mind...he is still to this day doing his thing..seen him in newark at the men's league they have at the NDC where all the big names from rochester come every sunday

Tyler Relph has to be the best though

[flhoops]

...Sweeney is impressive as an eigth grader but it was one shot....let's hold off mentioning him in a thread titled "greatest ever".....

[200131]

...Sweeney is impressive as an eigth grader but it was one shot....let's hold off mentioning him in a thread titled "greatest ever".....

Thats why I never said anything about best ever

[gvcsjag2000]

When his senior year ends, we'll go back and look at the numbers and see how he did.

[200131]

When his senior year ends, we'll go back and look at the numbers and see how he did.

Hopefully we will all be alive then becuase haha he still has 4 more years. We will see haha

[melo15]

Tom McCulley of Notre Dame of Batavia deserves consideration.

He was big (6-4 or so) but was money from the outside. About 18 hours after ND upset Prattsburgh in 1992, he went on an amazing run against Portville or someone from Section VI about 18 hours later at Fredonia. The Irish advanced to Glens Falls and he won MVP honors as ND won its first state title.

Dan Hummell of Warsaw (early 1980s) was a big-time shooter, too, but there were no 3s back then.

[m0rocco]

Not sure if he's been mentioned or even what his stats were....but Evan Gibson from OA was pretty darn solid from the 3 from what I remember when I was like in 7th grade. He was close to Hilly's age, maybe Hilly remembers some stats or something.

[flhoops]

Based on the competition they played against in high school and the level they played in college I would have to say that Jack Leisure & Matt Verkey top the list?

[flwball11]

Jack Leisure for sure

[Former GR Leaguer]

Not sure if he's been mentioned or even what his stats were....but Evan Gibson from OA was pretty darn solid from the 3 from what I remember when I was like in 7th grade. He was close to Hilly's age, maybe Hilly remembers some stats or something.

Yes, Gibson was very good from three point range. At that time OA had both him and Andy Thurber as guards, as well as Matt Luxon in the paint, and Matt Williams who could hurt you off the dribble and by knocking down the mid-range jumper. Teams would be so focused on Thurber and Luxon that they would leave Gibson open, and more often then not he'd knock down the three. They were a tough team to play in 1995-96.

[dmill3544]

I'm gonna have to Go with JJ Garwood as all time top 3 Point shooter in section V. Does anyone know what happened to him?

hes coaching at northstar right now, and he was too small to play college or anything like that. but hes pretty much just as good as he was.

[nCa KnIgHt]

yea im going to have to go with my coach jj Garwood... in practice we do three point competitions its the whole team against him and he wen 95 for 100!!!! no joke.

These guys could not hold a candle to Ralph Angelo. The kid was sweet and smooth on not very good teams. Everyone knew what was coming and he'd do it anyway.

Angelo actually played for Honeoye from 1987-1991 he finished his career with 2,407 points

[Wisdom]

Terry Brown of Clyde-Savannah
John Schweitz- Waterloo
Matt Verkey -Seneca Falls

All great shooters

Don't like the way that the 3-point shot changes the style of the game. Do teams know how to pick and roll, or execute a "Princeton back-door"? They should at least move the line back further so that it is more then a jump-shot.

[coachstew]

Angelo actually played for Honeoye from 1987-1991 he finished his career with 2,407 points

2,407?? That's a ton, he must have played four years of varsity or more.

In many instances, the only time the ball goes in the paint it is so the D collapses and then they can dish it back out for a 3. Boring! I would love to see alot more "old School", specifically as you mention.

[del123]

JJ Garwood was one of the best. I played against him in Highschool and with him in college and I still get to play with him a couple times a year when i come back home. He can still stroke it from deep. He was actually my JV coach for a season and when we would scrimmage with the guys if he caught it outside the three we would just role the ball the baseline cause it was automatic. He could just flat out shoot it from anywhere.

I agree with u that he is one of the best, but how did u play with him in HS and college if he was your JV coach for a year?....that makes no sense...haha

[pantherpride]

Probably some of the best 3 point shooters came before there even was a 3 point line in existence. What about Joe Augustine from Geneva who played in the late 70's and early 80's? He then went on to play for the U of R, where he is still a record holder. He would shoot from the corner every time and it always went in, all net. He averaged more than 20 pts. a game without the 3 point line. Back then, those kids were true athletes. They worked hard to be good players. They were respectful and always gave their best. His brother, Neil, was also a good palyer at Geneva who then followed in his brother's footsteps to the U of R. The other important thing is that players like these could not only produce on the court, but also in the classroom. Unfortunately you don't find that very often these days. Everyone wants it all handed to them on a silver platter.

Conyers? doesn't he play down-low?

Yep but he's a decent shooter, ugly release but it works. Watched him play last saturday and he went either 2-for-2 or 2-for-3 from Long Range. Watched him in warm ups and he can shoot it, very deceptive

Although I absolutely hated playing this guy is high school he must be included on this list.


Cade Lemcke (McQuaid) 94-97 State Champs in 97

[coachstew]

Trevor Sanders from Red Jacket is probably the best long range shooter in FLW. Lynch and Verkey and others from Mynderse are good shooters as well.

Conyers is a very good shooter. I think you also have to look at Pratt from Dundee as well.

And Brace, he can shoot! Also very deceptive as you wouldn't guess it but he can knock them down

[VTHokie]

Keegan Jacobs of Brighton. Don't underestimate him because he plays for Brighton. This kid has some amazing raw talent when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc. He recorded 5 3-pointers in his last game against Victor (a loss for Brighton in which he recorded 22 points I believe). He had a great game against Pittsford Sutherland in which he put up 26 points I believe. He's a great assist player, he always finds an open man and is willing to drive to the basket regardless of who is defending the rim or him. Look for this 6'1 165 Senior more often.

you guys are talking about scorers....that easily would be terry brown (clyde savannah) avg 42 per game with no three point line. his range was fierce

but as far as 3 pt shooters you guys are leavin out one that is easily top 5
CHRIS GRANTLING-(clyde savannah) if you werent in wayne county you didn't see him except for the blue cross arena where his team set 4 records til this day from (98) in his senior yr grantling made 99 3's that season ...section v record #3 in the state
had 7 3's in a game 9 times ...
against east rochester had 36 points with 6 3's at halftime
and finally had 226 3's for his career....alot don't know this cause he was even better as a quarterback and pitcher!

I don't know about you guys but shouldn't the best three point shooter be determined by the amount of threes that they hit in an organized basketball game. Nick Kelley from Genesee Valley hit 274 three's playing Varsity basketball under Coach Baker. I believe that Nick has to be in the top ten three point shooters list for Section V. Nick Kelley gets my vote for the TOP three point shooter ever in Section V.


He was a decent three-point shooter in high school but NO WAY in front of some of the others. I saw him play at Geneseo State and he never got off the bench. He was a junior then too so I'm assuming he didn't play much his first two years either. Like I said, decent in high school, but not on some of the others levels.

i think greg monroe from mendon in early eighties would have had some big numbers had there been a three point line then

[going4broke]

These guys could not hold a candle to Ralph Angelo. The kid was sweet and smooth on not very good teams. Everyone knew what was coming and he'd do it anyway.

I disagree with this.
I saw Angelo play in a state qualifier one game and he was locked down to three points on three free-throws for the entire game. Its a known fact that Ralph A used to beat up on the little teams and anytime he played a decent team they would keep him in check. He'd score 40 against Naples or DeSales and then less than 10 against a solid opponent.

274 threes is just decent? This isn't a thread on who had the most successful post high school career. The kid could flat out shoot for GV. If we're going to take post high school playing time into account I'd like to nominate myself for greatest 3 pt shooter in section v history. I average 8 3's a game in my Sunday basketball league. Hoops99 = greatest 3 pt shooter on Earth.

"decent" Come on. I hated playing against him. He could flat out shoot. One of only three players I think that made the all tournament team four times in his high school career. The best ever 3 point shooter debate away, but he is in the conversation that is for sure. You don't hit 274 being lucky.

[the big tünâ]

can anyone say gavin "tiger woods" hall. the kid just makes plays

[jmacisbac]

Has to be "Jimmy" from the movie Hoosiers. I mean, the guy only missed one or two shots the entire movie!! One helluva stroke.

Don't get caught watchin the paint dry.

[shammrocks]

i think gregg woodard out of mcq had the best jump shot ive seen

Hitting 274 playing against "decent" competition. He'd never hit half that many in a better league. I think we can ALL agree on that.

I don't see how competition has to do with who the best 3 point shooter is, if a kid can shoot he can shoot. While I agree it may have been harder for him to get clean looks its not like the 3 point line or hoop changes from league to league.

Would he have hit less in a better league...maybe, but that shouldn't affect his argument as a top 3 point shooter. And his numbers may only have dipped because he probably would have had better players around him to take some of the load off.

[pcssoccer2]

Boobiemiles gets my number one vote

im going with Cherry on this one..

[redraider21]

im going with Cherry on this one..

david sylvester from perry is obviously the best, right behind trevor haut of course thats a given

[ching01]

I am not going to list them in order but I would say Kevin and Kyle Downey, Tyler Relph, Jack Leasure, Joey Sattora, Matty Phillips and Greg McKeown from Avon, Matt Verkey, Nick Kelly from GV, Corkey from Letchworth, chris Shelvoy from pitt-mendon, and theres plenty more I am missing.
