Sounded like they played fairly good D, just need to score some points. The 2 players who are currently out will help if and when they get back and Anderson should be 100% soon. Good win today against TS.

[NotSoSilentBob]

TS couldn't have hit a 10' bucket in the second half. GC shot the ball better than they have over their last 3 and that is why they won.

40-31?

Did they play 4 minute quarters? Ervin averaged 30 some for a stretch at TS, Id be willing to bet Peters, Shoemaker or McDonald averaged near 20 some.

Im amazed.

[NotSoSilentBob]

I think GC's problem is that they're a bunch of football players trying to play basketball. They don't have that pure basketball player that they have had in the past.

For TS, Dockery has been a little under the weather for the last couple of weeks. In order for TS to improve, they need another player to be able to consistantly put in 10-15 a game.

Both teams will certainly improve as the season goes along. The upside for GC is that they shouldn't have to improve all that much considering the competition, or lack thereof, in the LPD.

GC was much better than they were yesterday, TS is getting worse in my opinion. I'd play box and one on Dockery and make somebody else beat me. On another note, TS is heading downhill fast in terms of a program in my opinion, not a normal TS team this year and losing alot of kids off this team. As far as competition in the LPD goes, the entrie Region D isn't hitting on much outside of Castlewood (who I haven't seen play) I've not seen a Region D team play that I'd put up there as a team that could compete with the TS, GC, TV, or even the Norton teams of past. From what I've seen out of the LPD it could end up in a 3 or 4 way tie, there is little to no difference between GC, PV, Coeburn, or CW. It's just whoever shows up and plays, get two kids going that night you win. Today GC got Hackney and Anderson going (along with Salyers) thats why they won. Twin Springs couldn't get anybody other than Dockery going thats why they lost. Same can be said about about the CW/Coeburn game and the Coeburn/PV game. These games this year will come down to whoever shows up.
