GPSportsFan Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 We aren't underestimating him or CC at all... the last 2 times we played them, it has been a close game. One into overtime and region championship was won on buzzer beater. So if anything we remember that and our boys want revenge. They can average however many points they want to, but as you know when 2 good teams play; averages are thrown out. CC won't average that amount and GP won't have the same amount they average. We play about 9 guys and most of them played in a tournament against key this summer. I just want to see our guys against CC. We have guys on our team who feed off of the hype and are ready for the matchup. If they end up playing each other, it should be a great game with a great environment.

GPSportsFan Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Also you shouldn't compare scores from RBS and Gordonsville. You never know what defense or strategy you'll get from RBS and Gordonsville always has something new everytime we see them. Outside of key what players do they have because their post presence is gone and GP has 4 post that rebound like crazy when they want to. This is the first year they have had a entirely healthy squad who have been playing together for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe your team was unhealthy when Jackson County came to your gym and eliminated you all last yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilee Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 If this GP team is any way close to that 2014 team then they are good. In our 3 years as state champs we only 1 game in single digits, that was GP in the first round. If the young man hits that FT with .5 left then they are state champs. Are they as good now as they were then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has GP "acquired" any new talent this year or is this the same team from last year? The one that Jackson County beat on their home floor. What a great game that was to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker ..... However he can't guard Tyreke so i don't like your chances of winning the region, but they've got a good chance to travel to VanBuren County to the substate. Anything can happen come tourney time that's for sure. Edited January 30, 2017 by UCSportsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's Mitchell this year Galilee? I see where Humboldt is tearing it up over there, will you guys get them in the substate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen come tourney time that's for sure. We have 3 guards that will be all district and all region. Point guard will be district MVP and 1st team region, our perimeter guards are 6'4 and 6'6 and we have a guard off the bench who can try and help slow down Key. I'm just here supporting the school I've loved and put my kids through. I believe Key is very good but he's all you guys talk about. There has to be other news in this district.

I see where Humboldt is tearing it up over there, will you guys get them in the substate? That was the title game. We are good this year but do not have that 1 star player like Martin, Echols, or Ollison. As usual we have played a tough non league losing to East, Whitehaven, and state champs in Ark, Mo, and La.
