You all can talk bad all you would like but the youth program is going to be fine. There are some really good groups coming through! I have kids in the youth program as well so not sure who you are talking about! My last reply as well.

Coach Utter did an amazing job at GC and is going to be a tough act to follow. However, I think Tyler Jones is going to be just fine and will do a great job. There will be some things he will learn early on but over time will be just fine. Not too worried about the experience as any coach has to start somewhere. Give it time. Some of the classes coming through may just surprise some people. Success does not start at the varsity level it starts way before then for a lot of these young men no matter what school it is.

Great win and awesome coaching for GC! Huge win and a ton of experience with their coaching staff!

Great game by both teams! Simon’s guard played really well. The match up zone caused a lot of problems for Grant! Big boy down low not only blocked a lot of shots but also made it hard all game long. Honestly Grant just does not match up well against them. Kudos to SK! Both teams battled until the end! Can’t wait to watch them in the 8th region tourney.

Grant fans were not talking to the players nor being disrespectful. There are a lot of other things out there that are not as competitive or everyone has a chance to win high school basketball just is not it. I think everyone should get trophies

Let me just start here! First what a game this was between two teams (players and coaches both). First half Walton got some early calls, hit some shots but Grant weathered the storm. Second half Grant came out on a mission. Players outplayed them and for sure Walton was out coached. The better team won and deserved it! Now that we have that out of the way. I played for Walton growing up but have since moved and love the Grant County area and the program that is being constructed. Could not ask for better kids and coaches who put so much time in and give back as much as they possibly can. For anyone making things personal and saying things about the starting point guard and naming the assistant sounds like sour grapes to me. First off Jackson Utter is one of the best and hard nosed guards I have seen. That boy could be on my team any day! He holds his own and more. Go back to the high profile games and watch the tape. Great Crossing, Mason County, Conner, North Oldham, Collins, do I need to keep going?!?!? Stats don’t tell the whole story trust me. The assistant coach was fired up and rightfully so! Did nothing to the Walton team nor was it disrespectful. About the fans. Grant County fans showed up early and invested. Class as some of you talk about is all in the eyes of the beholder. Grant County fans showed up in numbers and showed out! Grants fans were tough on the officiating the first half rightfully so. If I am not mistaken the fouls were 7-3 the first half. A lot of questionable ones early. But refs don’t win or lose games. Things changed the second half and Grant capitalized more. To those who say the fans were disrespectful to Walton players are delusional. They were cheering for their own players. The scuffle or bickering between teams was all started by Walton and the guy in glasses. It had to do with Grant and not helping the kid up at the end. Seriously watch it over and they did. Grant has a ton of high character kids and coaches. To the fella who left Grant County good for you!! Walton is not what it was when I was there and thankfully Grant County is ok without you! Goes both ways! Funny take on things though!
