Yes you are correct, I am not saying they didnt only that they had a bad year. that means one year. Grant has had a few years that they didnt win with the expectations that I think they had. Remember I am talking about Grant in that post and not trying to add Simon in there.

 

Actually, you did say they haven't had a quality win and I definitely wouldn't of called it a bad year. Grant hasn't came up with 19 wins in the past three or fours years. I do agree with you that they didn't accomplish as much as they should of, such as last years district championship,as well as a regional finalist.

ok guess i am going to have to spell it out for you. If you dont look at last year-pretty sure I stated that I made a mistake in regards to last year ok. Now look at the years prior to that. I dont think they got wins that they thought they should have in the years prior to last. Do you get it now. where were they those years?

in the 2000's they only had 4 winning seasons with two of them being 2 or 3 games above 500. I just wonder what the problem has been. I am not putting them down and if it sounds like i am please understand that I am not trying to. Something has to be going on, they are a big school with alot of students just wonder why they have been struggling.

I will take Simon. Too much firepower for Grant.

I agree. They have struggled these past few years.....i believe every school has its cycles. the early 2000's is just not Grants. Most of it is due to the simple fact that there hasn't been good talent come through Grant County until this past year, except for a couple years when Tyler Jones, Allan Schaffer, and Dustin Plunket played. However I will be expecting big things to be coming out of the future classes.

Are there some personality conflicts going on with some people in charge?

Variables outside of athletics have negatively impacted the product on the court. That is not an excuse, we all need to be able to overcome, but sometimes those variables are such a distraction that it impedes progress.

 

Quick example: GCHS is the only program that I know of that requires the varsity basketball teams to share gym times with other sports during basketball season. It is a common sight to see cheerleaders practicing in the gym while the boys are practicing, the baseball team lifting weights and taking grounders in the gym while the team is trying to practice, and the track team conditioning while the coaches are trying to conduct practice.

This does not happen in other places. At Owen county, the gym is so sacred during basketball season that PE classes are only scheduled during the first and fourth quarters. At Simon the notion that the pioneers would need to postpone practice so the prom committee can sell dresses is absurd.

This is merely one example and should not be enough to hurt the program as a whole. But several things like this negatively impact the players, school spirit, and development.

Coach Steiner will get them back on winning track!

Wow, cant imagine that this would ever be a factor. No reason why the team would have to share gym time during their season. Dont know of any other school that has this same problem. GOOD LUCK.

You hit it right on the nail!!!!!!

It still should be a close game. simon usually plays better at home so they may have an extra advantage. Grant usually struggles at Simon.

Steiner is the difference.
