Where did you see them play this summer? And tell me about something about there players because according to coaches at all levels in knoxville you are in the minority. I understand its your opinion and thats great, just wanted to make sure it is an informed one

I guess I should have seen this coming, I guess i should expect people to say things without any knowledge about the situation. I just believe you should know what you are talking about before you speak. These are both players that were at Grace last year but decided not to play basketball to concentrate on football and have decided to play this year. They both are very good players and will help alot. I dont mind having this conversation but lets at least talk about the facts not just off the cuff comments. Just a thought

I guess thats why they call them opinions. But yes i believe it was, Grace did not have a good game, although I do believe Wartburg did have something to do with that. But Shannon had the best game I had ever seen him have. I saw him against O.S. in the district final and he didnt look good. I saw him twice against Harriman and he didnt look that good and I saw him at state and didnt have a great game there either. I am not saying he wasnt a good player but against Grace he was out of his head and didnt miss and had 46. Harriman beat them twice and Grace beat Harriman 3 times. I know that doesnt always mean anything because of matchups but I do believe it was a great night for Wartburg and was an upset. Again just an informed opinion. But that was last year and alot of lessons learned and alot of work put into not letting it happen again.

Grace played oliver springs and Shultz this summer at fulton camp and it was 30 piont game not even close. Shultz is a nice player but not best in region by a long stretch. Grace beat rockwood Twice last year by 15 and they have everyone back plus added some nice players that will push for time, Rockwood will be good and has a very good coach but not good enough to beat Grace.

Grace Christian Has two juniors that averaged over 18 points last year as soph and were both 1st team all district and 1st team all region. I havent seen all these other kids play that have been mentioned but these two will play at the next level.

Oliver springs should win this district. They have a good guard in schultz but not sure what else they have. Grace beat them real bad this summer at fulton camp but then again they beat everyone they played bad. But I believe every other team lost alot of kids to grad.

I believe Grace will when the region and return to state. The guards were very young and really didnt know how to manage a game. Which should have been very easy to figure out with 6'10 and 6' 8 on the floor. The coach will hopefully be able to coach these kids up and teach them how to win. I just think they have too much inside not to advance to state in A ball. If they dont it will be the biggest underachieving team I have seen in a long time. I think they get it done. Just my opinion.

Grace Christian should win region and go to State. They have everyone back from a very strong team last year. Those players will be better and they added a few new faces that will help.

I believe Grace Christian in Knoxville will reach state this year. They have everyone returning from a 30-3 team that was upset by Wartburg in the Region. Juniors Ryan Slusher and Cameron Pridemore both averaged over 18 pts a game as soph. and seniors Adrian Wannamaker 14pts, Blake Hankins, 8pts and Brandon Lipps 6pts. They have also added some nice players that will challege for time. A 6'4 soph and 6'1 Senior that did not play last year. They were young last year and I believe ready to take the next step.
