This years West Carroll team.....

[GCPioneer]

As I have not watched West Carroll play this year, how does this years team with Thomas Greer compare to the West Carroll team with Xavier Webb? I remember Xavier had a decent supporting cast around him. Does Thomas have anyone around him that could help lead them to the state tournament or will Thomas have to do it on his own? Who is/was better.... Xavier Webb or Thomas Greer?

Xavier Webb Hansbro was a better player and this years West Carrol team would get run out of the gym by the Xavier Webb team in my opinion. I can remember watching Webb and Doaks go toe to toe...That was a good West Carrol team. If i'm not mistaken that was the year Middleton beat Trenton for the state championship.

I was thinking the same thing, but everyone is real high on this years West Carroll team. I haven't had the chance to watch 'em play, but was just curious.

Greer is a great player. Strong threat anywhere on the floor with great BB IQ. Thought he should have gone to bigger college. I think he could have. Not sure why he didn't.

Greer is pretty good, but the kid from Big Sandy is really good. He handles the ball, rebounds, shoots well, finishes well and can create his own shot. The big Sandy kid is hands down in my opinion the best player in the district. Does anyone know where he is going to play college ball.

Pretty good ??? have you seen Greer Play? If there were a kid from Big Sandy don't you think his name would be on these boards more.

[BOB KNIGHT]

Yeah, he is pretty good. I am not talking bad about him. I just said that I think the kid from Big Sandy is the best player in the district. Yes, I have seen both of them at least four times. The reason you don't see the kid from Big Sandy on here more is because his team doesn't do as well as West Carroll. Sorry if my opinion angered or upset you.

Game recognizes game. The impact the school has over the press a great player gets is some but not huge. Example. Casey Prather's team did not even win the district last year. Greer would be known about as much as he is now even if he played for Big Sandy.

ok

Agreed, Greer is a great player. Probably a better fit at a smaller mid-major school like Peay.

 

IMO, Xavier was the better player. Scoring stats are comparable (Hansbro 27.8 PPG in his senior season, Greer 27.4). Edge to Hansbro in rebounding, though (14.6 vs. 9.0).

 

As far as the team - if they finish #1 in 13A, will probably beat Halls/Peabody by 5-10 points. But Humboldt, Union City or Lake Co. will likely end their season in the regional semifinals.

I wouldn't count Peabody or Halls out in that game. Peabody already beat West Carrol AT West Carrol at the beginning of the year, but Peabody hasn't been able to beat Halls yet so who knows...

Greer is an outstanding player...

One of the best players I have ever played against, and I have played in alot of different places in the states.

The Big Sandy player you are talking about is me (Chris Cox)..

and I have never seen this Xaiver Webb play,

I transfered here my sophomore year.

Everytime we play WC it is an exciting game and I always enjoy playing against Thomas.
