Like I said in another thread...............Suddenly a trip to "Hooters" restaraunt and a trip to the Sweet 16 doesn't seem so bad does it. That was a comment in a letter to the editor to te daily Indendent by a GCHS fan. I thought that it was a classic.:lol:

Without a doubt, I read that quote and nearly fell out of my seat laughing. The guy who wrote it is someone I know which made it even better. But, that trip to the Sweet 16 was actually a close loss (2 points I believe) in the quarters to Highlands (led by Jared Lorenzen and Derek Smith), who lost in the finals to Lou. Eastern. It is truly a shame that politics (yes it was even present then in GC...hahaha) was the motivation to drive out the best coach in the schools history and one of the top coaches in 16th Region history.

Agree and Disagree...He always was great about keeping his team in striking distance against a better team but I personally thought the year (maybe 82-83) that they should have won the entire state tourney.

1. Boo Williams

2. Andy Garvin (74 inch Vertical, not really but seemed like it)

3. Mark Fuller

4. Mike Scott

5. Either it was Diller, Fraley, Euton, someone

 

That was a team that should have won it all. Cant really blame Coach for the loss but he is the Coach. But he still was a great coach in this region

Did you like my Andy Garvin Vertical? Almost true

I used to caoch so I know from first hand experience, you are never the hero, the team or player is but when you lose you are always the goat!!!!

I have NEVER said this before but, pgfromky what your saying really sounds like VERY sour grapes as Barker scored the winning bucket against your Musketeers. Man, leave Barker out of it!!! You obviously have an agenda to your post.

 

Good win for the Eagles and good luck to Greenup County.

:thumb: :thumb: I agree, Imo how could anyone have anything against this kids game is beyond me.

Imo politics have always been a factor at GCHS and I don't see that ever changing. Seems to me that if you are not from a certain "area" of the district/county that you are an outsider in your own sysytem. The really sad thing about it all is the kids are the one that if effects and hurts the most and I always thought that is what is was supposed to be about............the kids. JMO and I am not a GCHS fan but I do have some friends close to the program there that feel the same way. (by the way, since you know the guy that wrote that letter to the editor you can tell him for me that I spit my morning coffee all over the place when I saw that!!:lol: it was a classic:D )

I realize that shooter and I rarely see eye to eye, but this is one post where I have to give him an "AMEN".

What you just said about shooter surely goes for the two of us as well. A big AMEN.

I agree with you on that team - they were a great h.s. team, loaded with talent.

Is "versatility" another way of saying "girth"?

Last, I heard he was applying as a stunt double for espn, stump the schawb

girth was part of it

Yes the 1983 team was loaded with good players, but just as in 1985 when they drew Hopkinville, they drew the eventually state champion in the first round. 1984 was probably the best team that included Mike Scott, but starting forward Mike Raby was taken out a cheap under cut by Boyd in the regular season and his knee was trashed.
