Anything but. GC was behind the entire game, never was as close as the final score indicated. If Tabernacle had hit those gimme's they missed, it would have been a 20 point game.

Tabernacle is still playing that nasty playground ball. Looking for big plays on the fast break and making very stupid mistakes.

GC looked like they did Fri and Sat. nights. Tenative and without scoring. Hackney scored all but 3 or 4 of his points in the second half.

To tell you the truth, they almost looked like a better team without Anderson in there. Hackney seemed to be a lot happier once he was getting most of the touches.

**gcdevil22** · December 27th, 2006, 02:34 AM

GC needs Anderson...Hack needs to be more comfortable with the ball...ball pressure, attention away from the ball, spacing, movement on offense instead of standing and watching, taking care of the ball...pretty much all of the above went wrong today, but im sure Coach Vermillion will drive that point home

**imported_GC1** · December 27th, 2006, 07:04 AM

On the flip side if GC had hit some of those good looks they had at the bucket, especially some of the 3's they missed (Salyers was just a hair short the entire game) they could have won. As ugly as GC played it is hard to believe they only lost by 6 [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Guess it's good thay Tabernacle played just as ugly.

That much is true. GC has not been hitting anything (and I've watched them just as much as I've seen TS).

I knew Tabernacle would play the way they did. They are very undisciplined. They have enough athleticism to keep them in games, but they could be so much more with better coaching.

30-36? That should be a half time score. Id be depressed if I were a coach or player and that was our scores.

**imported_GC1** · December 27th, 2006, 02:36 PM

Then there were several highly depressed teams in Bristol yesterday.

I have to be brutally honest and agree that 30-40 points is very low scoring for a H.S. basketball, maybe ok fer JV. Seems like in my High School days we had 3 guys who scored 1000 pts. in their career and were physicaly strong. Seems the games were in the 70 point range. These guys lifted weights hard. All 3 went on to play college BB. 40 points is very low per game, tells us that a team only has 1 or 2 players that can score. Teams need to hit the weights more and players need to develop their offensive abilities or else these scores are gonna continue to be low...Defense is good but your team must score, we should not play Johnny Majors basketball and pass the ball until it gets stolen, shoot it I say... oh but what do I know....
