Being from a long way off, (Mountains of Eastern PA.) and with an interrest in KY Bball, can someone tell me who GC is and a little about them.

"GC" is Greenup County. They are in the 63rd district, along with Raceland, Russell, and Lewis County.

Starting in the early to mid 70's, they were coached by Randy Ward (aka "The Little General"), who played a very methodical style with an emphasis on physical defense. They were the prototypical eastern Kentucky basketball team, if you will.

After Ward left, they went on a run of changing coaches, and most people would lay that at the feet of the politics that dominate the Board of Education in Greenup. Their current coach is Tim Fraley, who played in the Ward system, and for the most part, plays the same style of ball. One of his teammates (Scott Floyd) is the head coach at Raceland.

Right now, Greenup has a front line that is (for the 16th Region) fairly long. They are athletic, and they play hard (with one or two exceptions). As previously stated, their weakness is that their backcourt isn't quite as strong as some of the better teams in the region, making them susceptible to pressing defenses and putting them at a disadvantage in an uptempo game.
