Hilltopper Mentality: Leadership, Culture, and a Title Chase
Episode 85
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
The District 2 Sports Podcast heads to Lynchburg to sit down with Head Coach DJ Best and senior forward #21 Gavin Arthur of the E.C. Glass Hilltoppers, one of the hottest teams in the state. Undefeated on the season and sitting at #1 in the District 2 Sports Super 12 Poll, the Hilltoppers have established themselves as a legitimate Class 4 state title contender with their depth, discipline, and balanced scoring. Coach Best discusses the mindset behind maintaining an undefeated run, how this group has embraced the target on their back, and the culture that has fueled their consistency night in and night out. Gavin Arthur gives insight into his leadership as a senior, the team’s chemistry, and what it takes to anchor a squad with championship aspirations. We also dive into the Hilltoppers’ dominant performances in the Seminole District, their defensive identity, and how they are preparing for the postseason push as the stakes get higher. With a strong résumé, quality wins, and momentum on their side, E.C. Glass is positioning itself not just for a deep run, but for a serious shot at bringing home a Class 4 state championship.
