12thmanGCA Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Knoxville GCA plays Murf Oakland at 1pm Friday and Independance at 1pm Saturday. Should be two goo games for GCA. Anyone in Middle TN got the skinny on either of these teams? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnoname Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 You are going to see a lot of 1-2-2 half court trap and zone out of Oakland. Athletes all the way. Get ready to have your oil checked by Independence...Princeton offense and they can shoot it! Defense is pretty good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thmanGCA Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Grayson Murphy finished with 25 in 64-59 back and fourth win over Knox GCA. Connor Arnold had 24 and Grant Ledford 17 for GCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOPSGURU Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Independence must be really good this year. They are still missing quite a few football players. Edited November 26, 2016 by HOOPSGURU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thmanGCA Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Independence must be really good this year. They are still missing quite a few football players. Well Grayson Murphy is good and they had a few other decent players. But GCA at some point this year is going to have to commit to defense. People get to the rim on us easier than riding an escalater. We made it easy on them to be honest. Right now our games look like Great AAU offense on one end and uncommitted terrible soft D on the other Its November! If Grayson and team add some football players that can play, I would say they will contend. We need to stop driving point guards better between now and March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12thmanGCA Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Gettlefinger not defend much?I don't point out individual kids negatives in a public forum on what they need to work on if I can help it. Its a team game and never on one kid. Does Gettlefinger have room to improve in that area? Yes, but so does Arnold and Ledford and Yonkers and Andrews and Connor and so on and so on. They all need to get better on D ..... very few kids say man I love to play D and pride myself on that.....at a consistent championship level. That makes winning easier though when they do. We beat Oakland today (6A) 80-77 so a big win but we gave up 77 points......Oakland was not a 77 pt team so room to improve. But we scored 80 ðŸ‘ðŸ¼ðŸ˜‰ Arnold had 29pts 16rebs and 6assist Ledford had 18 pts Gettlefinger controlled the offense well and did a good job running the pace probably had double digit points Sophomore Jordan Crawley had a big game! Solid! Andrews senior leadership was invaluable Yonkers played his best game as a Ram today. He was huge. Dont win today without his 6-9 frame patrolling Ben Connor was the last to record minutes and he had some solid boards and defense It was a good game we just have to get better at stopping penetrating guards. 2-2 after 4 and easily could be 4-0 Edited November 27, 2016 by 12thmanGCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
