[Gold Charger]

Holmes looked bad in pre-season last year.....

GRC did too. Just lost Purvis for the year 3 days before the first scrimmage.

:Thumbs: Agreed

They will lose games this year, no doubt. They lost to a Boone County team last year in the heat of the season, and played several close scored games down the stretch before kicking it in for the Playoff stretch. Basketball is just too long of a season to go undefeated. They have a big-time schedule, impossible to maintain the same level of intensity throughout the season. For a team that just won the title last year, and is expected to win it all again this year, preseason means nothing to them. Coach will have problems with that, but I'm sure it will be a difficult sell to the players. They have nothing to prove.

As for GRC, they are trying to prove to everyone that they are legit this year. For them, this game was just as important as a February game.

Bulls Eye is on thier back by being defending state champs. They have to bring it every game.


GRC too has a very tuff schedule, they too will take some lumps. But expect to see both teams make a strong showing for the state title.

Great start for the Cards. Will be hard for many teams to contend with GRC's height.
