Agree with that 😢 It was there for the taking and we missed it. But Harriman went and got it

No sir, I did not take it that way. I took your statement as a compliment. To play at any level is a blessing. However, it is hard for anyone to evaluate any kid on just 2 looks? Most coaches need 3-5 full game films and/or 5-10 in person looks to form a solid opinion. Too many variables, injury, sickness, bad game whatever.... Thats what is most fair to all the student athletes not just mine. But I do believe Coaches can spend 15 minutes on a kids twitter or instagram and tell you if They would want them or not as a team member 😉 For sure, I have heard it from them as an AAU coordinator.

He has higher offers than that in hand both scholarship and walk on. Saw him twice huh? ......LOL. But even if D3 or NAIA what a blessing, right? His older brother just played 4 years at Centre College (football) and that was a great experiance!

I didnt call him a phenom I called him an unselfish teammate. How many GCA games have you seen in last four years? I saw over 120. He couldnt even walk the weekend before state. His ankle was swollen like a grapefruit from injuring it in practice the Friday before stare. He wasnt 100% and if you are a guru then you should know good players and that every player is different .Its a game of peaks and vallleys. Players and teams are suppose to play OFF and WITH each other because of those differences. As far as toughness, he had needles in his ankle Monday and Tuesday before Humboldt just to be able to go play and I doubt even his teammates knew that. We didnt need more toughness we needed more defense and 3 pointers vs Clay County and it just didnt happen. But we played soft defense all year as a team, So that was are achilles hill. Ledford is a great player. He will really be something in two more years. And yes he had a great state tournament and seaon. Should be in the running for sophomore of the year in Prep Xtra. And for the record the only offer Connor has to worry about is the offer to accept God s plan and love in his life and do his best everyday to share that in public. We will keep the others confidential and trust in him. I am proud of his career and proud of him. And proud of the grace team. They have accomplished a lot together. Just couldn't win it all as a team and yea that hurt....life goes on.

As Arnolds dad I appreciate the support. All I am going to say is connor was all state as a sophomore and junior and his numbers this year were better than those two years. The problem is these are scoring awards and on GCA we had 5 guys average double figures. Good luck next year seeing that happen at GCA without a 6-8 inside outside shooter there to help. Those two sophomores at GCA should be very appreciative. They benefited greatly from having him. In fact go watch the Humbodlt game from state, Ledford had like 6 walk in layups in half court cause Arnold was getting double and trippled at times. Call Hanptons Coach and ask him if he thinks Connor is deserving or oakdales and wartburgs. Heck even Coalfields coach that just left. Connor has the respect of his opponents and that matters the most. The biggest thing to me is the disappointment that sports writers are just that .....writers....Connor was Andre Whiteheads Region player of the year and that means more to us than some sportwriter in nashville or memphis who never saw him play more than once and probably never even called other coaches and teams to ask about a kid. Andre is committed he travels he watches and he is honest. He cares and if he sees it a certain way, then I respect that because I respecr him. Being able to vote in that is a privledge and if I was a sports writer I would do some dillegence before I voted. Congrats to the kids that made it. I am sure all are deserving but slim took his team farther and longer than most on the lis, all while sharing the ball as an unselfish kid with some good players on his team. He made them better that cannot be argued. Life goes on.....I can tell you this, many D1 colleges are full of manipulators and liars. The whole thing is frustrating. No courage, no honor, and sheep herd mentality. Thats why 76% transfer after year 1. The system is a failure to the kids. Some coaches in D1 and D2 have been very supportive and encouraging and truthful, and we appreciate those. A larger majority though have been unprofessional and made the experiance challenging at times. Connor will go somewhere, not worried about that. Just gotta walk in faith that when he gets there he makes it a better place than before he arrived. That is what matters.

Boy was I wrong LOL or did I just throw you trolls off the trail? Either way The Wing T is dead at GCA.

Could be ...he was hard to play for an thats not for everybody. I drop the me-ism cause I am not sure most folks would get it. If you want to chat about it call me or holler at me. Nobody can ever acuse my kid of being selfish. I feel sure of that And there is no wool trust me we had our own passionate discussions but his heart was in the right place even when we disagreed.

Such an uneeded post. Feel better? it would just be awesome if we could appreciate the man for the good he did and let the shortcomings leave with him. We all have them

‪GCA had 6 assist & 14 turnovers tonight & was out rebounded 35/26. Also clay county had 14 offensive rebs, GCA had 4. That isn't the refs ‬- We own it. We didn't get it done. Congrats to Clay

Go Harriman. Win it!

It has been a pleasure I have had 8 years watching my boys play football or basketball and we have had some great teams. In a world where baby mommas and deadbeat men live to raise little selfish monsters or people without perspective, I am quite happy with my boys, my wife, and my life. There are some great people and friends on coach T and to them I say thanks. There are also some trolls and little people and to them I say thanks for the added motivation to rise and try harder. We lost, life goes on....... One mans pain is another mans joy...be joyous trolls be joyous.

Overrated but with a free education 😉

Now that I might agree with 😉 (Class A) and 41 is moving on to the next level - I am done with Hs bro

I dont think anyone should hate on a kid. And Key is a joy to watch. I love him. Plays the game fundemntals very well. Not cocky, confidently secure in who he is. I do hope he goes cold as ice today but mad respect to him. And lets all stick to basketball 🀠Keys game speaks for itself. He is good at any level
