Do they have their point guard back, Anderson?

Who will GC have returning this year, Quincy?

They lost Hackney, Bays, Salyers, and Williams? I know Anderson is supposed to return. I believe there was a freshman who played on the varsity last year by the name of Potts(?) who was looked to have a good game.

I haven't seen Martinez play basketball yet but these kids should be a good boost for Norton.

From what I saw of Hunnicutt last year, he could be a good post player. Is he a sophomore now?

Yes, Hunnicutt is a sophomore. A holdback, he has a big body and fair athleticism. He could develop into a good post, but was very soft defensively and offensively last year and tended to stay outside the lane.

Talking about Anderson, I watched him play I think at Lebanon last year in the Region D tournament. He was a junior. As he goes, Gate City follows. Also their tall center... I say 6'10? maybe....he was a junior as well last year. But Anderson, he is THE best pg in the whole area. GC graduated a ton of talent last year. I believe GC graduated about 7 seniors I think? They only had about 12 players on the entire team so that doesnt leave much to work with. And after Anderson and the tall center graduates, someone in GC has some gigantic shoes to fill.

Tihlee has been a very good player for GC.

The thing about GC though is that they always seem to have good talent coming up. Of course some years are better than others. I think the 05 team with Jesse McMurray and last year's team with Hackney are two of the better teams they've had in recent years. I don't think they'll be as good this year but I honestly can't remember a year when GC has had a bad team.

Daniel Diets he played jv last year, he's a hell of a shooter. A young Issac Adkins, pretty left hand shot. Prolly hear more in the years to come. There is a great group about to come threw for jib.
