Green Meadows Conference - Boys

• Bobble

  Time to see if people are interested in a GMC prediction thread. Who's going to be competitive this year? Some initial thoughts from this poster:
  
  Tinora - lost some talent but has enough athletes to be there in the end
  
  Antwerp - really more the process of elimination but as good of a choice as any I guess.
  
  Fairview - another athletic team that can be "on" in any given game
  
  Ayersville - new coach but the upper classes are just void of much talent
  
  Edgerton - JV Coach moves up and will have a lot of young talent to build with as the season goes on
  
  Holgate - any talent they have will be used to beyond it's potential
  
  Wayne Trace - should improve from last year but will still struggle
  
  Hicksville - lost a ton of points and minutes with last year's graduation. They will compete with anyone in this wide-open league.

  I competed last year under another name and am interested in the poll. Heck yes I'm in if we have enough to do it.

  Tinora - A lot depends on how good their JV's were last year as they lost a lot.
  
  Antwerp - they always seem solid. Don't know much about them.
  
  Fairview - Coach Rhodes seems to have turned that program around.
  
  Ayersville - I've heard they are going to be tough.
  
  Edgerton - young talent.
  
  Holgate - they can't be down for too long. I expect much improvement this year.
  
  Wayne Trace - don't know
  
  Hicksville - don't know

  Everyone but Tinora will start the first week-end in December. With scrimmages yet this week, I suggest we hold off on the predictions until after Dec. 1st. But whatever. Pick 'em when you want. I just hope we have a few people picking!

  I'm wondering about the interest in GMC BB. Anyone?
• doggydee

  Looks like only four of us.

  Hey, GMC people, looks like Wayne Trace v. Edgerton in the District finals. What can you tell me about this game for those of you who have seen both these teams?

  Probably the absolute WEAKEST District in the entire state.

  Doesn't exactly answer my question though...
• ernest_t_bass

  

  The game itself is a toss up for me. Edgerton has potential, and good athletes, but Wayne Trace is BY FAR the better coached team.

  Tough slam on Coach Ripke - he's young and lacks experience but he must be doing something right to have his team improve so much this season
• ernest_t_bass

  

  Not really a slam on Ripke... or at least not intended. I see Linder taking lesser talent and getting here. Ask any Edgerton fan before the season, and they expected to be here. At least the ones I've talked to. So, when you look at it like that, Linder has coached his team this far.
