One thing for sure, someone will!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a fact.:thumb: They were only better that night due to our injuries. Much easier to beat a team when they are hurt.

 

Maybe if GRC could handle the pressure that night. :sssh:

I suggest you don't blink then.:thumb:

All I can add is Mason better be ready to play because as usual it will be a war! and my money is on the Cardinals this year.:taz:

Let's keep this thread on GRC. Mason discussion can happen in another thread.

We did not have ONE game where everyone was healthy last year....unreal.

 

Here is our roster and heights from the 5/3 last year. Some of the kids have grown since then.The grade is what they will be this fall.

 

Jaylan Daniels 6'5 Jr

Christian Brewer 6'1 Sr

Robbie Stenzel 6'4 Jr

Michael Martin 5'10 Jr

Anthony Withrow 6'0 Jr

Jeff Whitton 6'2 Jr

Travis Purvis 6'6 Jr

Vinny Zollo 6'8 Jr

Andrew Dini 6'1 Jr

Cory Rogers 6'4 Jr

John Wilson 6'5 Jr

Ryan Blair 6'2 Sr

 

 

Others that you could see on varisty are

 

Chase Kendred 6'2 Sr

Adam Fatkin 6'5 Soph

Charlie Rogers 6'1 Soph

Vancleve 5'10 Soph

 

Who should be the starters when the season begins and the top two off of the bench? Thanks.

Starters:

 

Zollo

Purvis

Rogers

R. Stenzel

?

Point guard could be Martin, Kendred, or Brewer

 

The ones that don't start would be the first off the bench for the guard position.

 

Daniels, I feel will be the 6th man and would start for most teams. Also look for Fatkin to get some quality PT. Skinner and Dini could get some PT too after football season is over.

 

Alot depends on developement over the summer. Who knows we may have a name that isn't even mentioned here. We have one athlete that did not play any sport last year due to health issues. If he is cleared to play, he could also help. I will not mention his name.

 

We have a very loaded team, at this point I am not sure who all will make the varsity team. We have the loaded sophomore class of last year and a very good Freshman team. The key is to stay healthy and find the right combination.

What in season tournies/showcases are they playing?

Just a fact.:thumb: They were only better that night due to our injuries. Much easier to beat a team when they are hurt.

 

Not to nitpick here, but predicting what MIGHT have happened under different circumstances is speculation, and by definition, pretty much the complete opposite of fact.

Seems like people were saying this last year too? :ohbrother::sssh:

 

GRC may be the favorite but saying heavy is a little crazy. :eyeonyou:

 

Let me set this straight by saying that I am a die hard Mason County fan but I am only stating my opinion for the upcoming season. I hope the Royals continue their 10th Region championship streak in 2010, but they may have too many holes to fill in their lineup. Losing Middleton, Downing, Hamm and Barner is going to really hurt this team for the upcoming year. Treg Setty and Neal Pawsatt are beasts, but I just don't know if they will have enough offensive weapons around them to make up for the scoring loss of Middleton or the defensive pressure of Downing.

This will be the last time this is stated in this thread. We will have discussion of GRC and nothing else. If you want to discuss other issues, feel free to start another thread. Some of you are in danger of violating rule #12 and may find yourselves on the outside looking in.

Other tourney and classics I am not sure at this point.

GRC will be the heavy favorite in the 10th region next year. This team will be loaded talent wise and could easily make a state title run in 2010. Robbie Stenzel is the best player in the 10th region and in my opinion will win Mr. Basketball in 2010-2011. With that said, this team will go as far as Stenzel can take them over the course of the next two seasons. To win a state championship you need that one player who can take over a game and hold a team together. A great front court is nice to have, but guard play is the area that dominates KHSAA basketball. If GRC develops a servicable point guard and Stenzel keeps doing what he does best this team can bring another state title to the 10th region. I compare Robbie's importance to this team to that of Chris Lofton and Darius Miller to their respective State Championship teams. A Mr. Basketball candidate and a good supporting cast is usually a recipe for success in the state of Kentucky.

 

I agree with Stenzel being the best player in the 10th region next year...but statewide there is a lot of talent in the class of 2011, including top 25, nationally ranked, Chane Behanan. He'll be the heavy favorite to win Mr. Basketball in the "2010-2011" season IMO. He is the most talented player in that class and honestly it's not very close between him and those behind him. I think Stenzel will have more TEAM success over the next two years though. That junior class is very deep and talented at GRC and they should be state title contenders this year and favorites next year.

I have been reading some good things about Behanan. He is the one that just transfered from Ohio to Bowling Green. Hopefully I will get to go see him play this year.

 

State title is our goal for this year and next, and I agree with you, with the talent we have, that is a possibility. :thumb:

 

If we can just stay healthy, this coming season could be very exciting for the Cards. :ylsuper:
