We're very hopeful that Brent's playing with the Louisville Magic this Summer will be great for his development and he just turned 17 so we're also hopeful his height (his older brother is about 6'4" and didn't grow until his Senior year) and strength catch up as well. Our Magic practices are a "Who's Who" of KY 2014 basketball and the practices are as intense and competitive as any college practice. I know Cam Snapp is playing with the Legends and he's developing every day as well. Hopefully he will also grow and gain strength. No body works harder than Connor Maddox and Owens Crawford has as high a basketball IQ as anyone out there. Freeman returns and hopefully his season ending injury has no lingering effects. Tanner Kelsch can't be replaced because I've really never seen anyone of his size and stature be as effective as he was at so many facets of the game. We do have a couple of Sophomores that are about 6'5" that didn't play much last year and my hope is they will work harder than anyone to develop because that's what we need so badly (size). Other than that, and of course from a biased parent perspective, we'll be as good as anyone. It's just such a feat for us to be in the conversation.

 

On a lighter note, if anyone has a 6"6" phenom looking for a home, "man have we got a deal for you". LOL come on Goldy, you gotta have a few extra's walking the halls at GRC.

 

Did you see GRC last year....shortest team in the state. Now I have a good friend that has a child that is 6'3, good ball player and will be a Freshman....she plays for the girls team......

 

Great experience for Brent to be playing with the Magic this summer. He is already a great ball player, but this experience will only help him and also get his name out there.

 

Please keep us update on his progress this summer. I hope to go watch Augusta when they play in the Lex. Cath tourney and Dunbar. When you get the date and times , let us know.

Thought they strenghthened their schedule quite a bit from past years playing Boone, Iroquois,Cooper,Dixie,Campbell,Montgomery,Harrison,Brossart,Pendleton,and Rowan.

 

Coach Hinson doesnt dodge anyone

This summer should help Bach alot on a personal level. I hope nothing but the

best for the Augusta kids.

Pendleton has always been on the schedule. Harrison and Brossart for the past 10 years. Montgomery on and off during that time.

The additions of Rowan, Cooper, Campbell, Dixie, and the tourney where they met Boone and Iroquois were very helpful last season getting them prepared for the post season.

And I don't think Big Slick intended to imply that Augusta had a weak schedule last season. He was simply applauding them for strengthening it this season, which they obviously are.

Are all participants in the LexCath tourney guaranteed three or four games?

2 I believe.

^ Thanks gold.

Never thought Augusta would get this much front page fodder. Good for the school

& the town.

If you have seen them play, you got to love this team. Small schools still have a special place in my heart.

Agree! :thumb:

I couldn't agree more.

In the past it has always been 3 minimum and, depending on the draw's setup, as many as 5.
