Who wins the GR Championship?

Who wins the GR Championship?



The regular season is over and Attica, Oakfield and Pembroke were all champs.

Hilly - this is the bball thread not football.

Hilly - this is the bball thread not football.



My bad. My brain is shot from covering the Bills game today. If I have to get up before noon I'm usually not doing good that day, and I was up at 8 a.m.
I'm going with Attica in D-1 and Notre Dame in D-2.

[bball4]

With the b-ball season quickly approaching I see Elba and ND as the teams to beat. Elba will be very solid, with a strong seasoned nucleus of players (Zambito, Woodward and Hoover) and ND will have the best one-two punch in the league with Francis and Boochico. Attica will again have the best player in the league Wofley but not much else. O/A will more of the same, great hype going into the season and little if any results in the end. O/A will benefit greatly by moving to Division I as they eliminate the tough home and home games with ND, Elba and W/C were they really struggle. Speaking of W/C they have have one of the top players in the league in Williams. He is a real horse and will definitely average a double/double. Division II continues to be the class of the GR. Finally, this year should see a major resurgence at Pembroke, don't be surprised if they challenge Attica for Division I crown.

[b-town]

give me a break, you obviously never watch attica play or you would know that
Attica was young last year. They have alot of talent coming back this year.I do agree pembroke, o/f, n/d and elba will be tough but attica will be on top.....

[TopShelf]

Attica, not easily but I don't see them having many tough games this year in the GR.

[sectionvcrazyfan]

How does everyone think Alexander will do this year in basketball?

[rockandroll34]

Holley has a 6-9 kid that just transferred in from NYC. His dad got a job at Xerox, and this kid is on the top 100 player list in the Northeast. His name is Louis Timon. I guess the RH coach tried to get them to move there but his grandfather lives in Brockport.
This kid is going to be unstoppable. Holley is going to be tough to beat with this kid.

[rockandroll34]

In fact, this kid is being recruited by a few ACC schools.

This kid is going to be unstoppable. Holley is going to be tough to beat with this kid.

Any proof of this? Is Louis at Holley yet? With the basketball season approaching quickly I doubt he will be eligible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that in order to play a high school sport you have to be enrolled at the school for a decent amount of time, like a couple of months or so.

[rockandroll34]

He enrolled two weeks ago, and because of his situation with his dad getting a job, he is eligible immediately.
Holley will win the GR with his kid.

[hilly]

I can't find the kid on the net

[UNCTarheels]

I checked Rivals.com, Scout.com and I googled him and can't find him either. Not saying he's not true, I trust Rockandroll34 and his info but it would make me feel better to be able to find some article or stats on him or any recruiting info. I'll post if I find anything

[BBalla32]

Yea I haven't found anything on him either... it'd be easier to believe if I saw his name somewhere besides this message board

[boobiemiles]

i talked to a teacher from holley and they said they haven't seen the kid either

[xxlvbball]

The GR Race should be intense. the thing that makes it interesting is that so many teams, attica,elba,oa, are returning so many key pplayers with experience. How does the fact that nd lost guiese, francis, and reddick play into their chances?

[section5fan]

It'll be interesting for ND, no doubt. Boccichio and Francis are the two obvious players that will need to step up and produce. Joe Pawlak, Pat Mancuso, and Kevin Schildwalster should step right and play a large part in their potential success. The big question for ND is: how will their forwards play?

[BravesRTops]

James Davis is the best player in Section V. I'm sorry section5fan thats just my opinion and i believe its pretty true

[section5fan]

Fair enough I guess. I respectfully disagree and would like to add that I can name several players better than him. If you would like me to, let me know.

[xxlvbball]

i would like to know...

[UNCTarheels]

If you think he's the best player in section V that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. It doesn't matter what other people think, theres an arguement for everything. I've seen James Davis play and he's very, very good. He's probably one of the Best players if not the best player in the GR. However he's the not the best player "I've" seen, but he's in my top 10 in Section V

#1 Dane Miller-Rush-Henrietta
#2 Kyle Downey-Fairport
#3 Ruben Balkum-East-High
#4 Brian Benson-Greece-Athena
#5 Bobby Bell-East-High
#6 Terrell Moore-Charlotte
#7 Zedrick Wilson-Franklin
#8 Jason Corletta-Pittsford-Sutherland
#9 Mike Hoy-Batavia
#10 James Davis-Oakfield-Alabama

That's my personal top 10, I've seen all of the players play in person, several of them I've seen multiple times.

[xxlvbball]

i would i agree,i didnt notice that the message said he was the best in v, i thought it said gr.... that being said, i dont even know if he's the best in the gr. i saw him play on an aau team along with wolfley, hoy, and bochicchio, and i was impressed with wolfleys verstility. he handles the ball extremely well. Bochicchio also put up a bunch of points, and showed things i didnt see during the season. Mike hoy can flat out play basketball. fundamentally sound, has a great shot, and plays d

Hoy plays for batavia. Batavia isn't in the GR

[BravesRTops]

Hoy plays for batavia. Batavia isn't in the GR
wolfley, bochiccio and davis are probably the best in the gr and wolfley is one of the best in section v i believe...i apologize for my comments earlier they were not correct

[xxlvbball]

Hoy plays for batavia. Batavia isn't in the GR

i was aware of this, my thoughts just jumbled together. Speaking of, how will batavia do this year?

[BravesRTops]

might be a down year for them

[secvfan]

Did everyone forget about about Alexander this year they do return 4 starters from last year co championship in GR. They should have beat ATTica twice last year to win it out right. Did Alexander beat Elba too last year? I think three of the starters average in double figures last year and are back this year. Keep your eye on the most under rated player in the GR Josh Bender. Yes Attica will be tough and Pembroke really are short on guards even though they have a great big guy and didn't Alexander beat them twice last year. I guess Alexander will go into this season under the scope like they did this year and will having people talk about them mid season on how good they are.:eek:

wow what about Alexander? Alexander beat Elba and Attica and return four starters.

[secvfan]

How does everyone think Alexander will do this year in basketball?

Alexander will go inot the season with not much hype but probably will contend for the title with 4 starters from last year team that beat Attica once and Pembroke twice and shared the league title with Attica. Josh Bender is a solid player and with him being 3 year starter for Alexander he will shine like he did last year with some solid supporting cast the only down side is there bench.

[section5fan]

i was aware of this, my thoughts just jumbled together. Speaking of, how will batavia do this year?


Batavia will be good this year and compete for their 7th straight Monroe County Division 3 title. Sutherland is their main competition in the league and they are much better than last year.

In terms of Sectionals, we'll have to wait and see how the season plays out really. Class A is going to be tough, as usual. 14-16 wins is a reasonable goal heading into Sectionals for this team.

The reason I wondered about Alexander this year was because of what they did last year and also this kid Bender. From what I have seen in the past is that he is a real good shooter with speed and a lot of determination. I do not know much about any other players on their team and was wondering who will be starting alongside Bender and what type of skills they bring to help Alexander.

[TurnTwo]

Flint was the heart and soul of Alexander basketball. They will struggle without him.

[secvfan]

Flint was the heart and soul of Alexander basketball. They will struggle without him.

They will miss Flint but what about the other three starters that average in double figures in scoring? I believe if Alexander can beat OA early they will contend for the league title this year. The coach will have them back at the top again or very close to it in my opinion.

[TurnTwo]

Who do they have for big men?

[secvfan]

Who do they have for big men?

They have Jake Quinn who started for at least six games for them last year and If i rememder they really had no big who could score for them last year and that being said they still shared the league with Attica. They can shoot the ball well not just 2 player but all four starters from last year team are back this year and they all can shoot.

[hilly]

Has anybody else heard anything new on this 6-9 Holley kid?
It was a hot topic for a minute and kind of went away. Where the heck are all the Holley people????

[Breezy77]

there is no 6'9" transfer going to holley. that was a total lie . that is not what this forum is for. whoever started the rumor should grow up.

[boobiemiles]

Oakfield might as well look foward to next season.... from what ive heard, davis is out until february.


and i'm 100% correct on this one

[BravesRTops]

i'm confirming this rumor, start writing about john gerber hilly, he's gettin all the shots

[T'emUP]

thats sad to hear. now who will lead the team to victory?

[boobiemiles]

yea. it'll be a rough start, but from what i hear, nobody in oakfield is pessimistic. in fact, they are still looking to be a very solid team without davis

[section5v33]

O-A opens up in the Barker Tourney against Northstar. Even without Davis, they should have enough to win...right?

[boobiemiles]

yeah. they are a solid team and won some games w/o him last year. Northstar was in the sectional finals last year and should be good this year, but i think the oa squad remembers what happened to them against Gananda last year and will be ready to start this season off with a big win.

[OldSchool78]

Who on O-A can even think about guarding Beckford? Coach Holly must be having nightmares.

Alexander ran a summer league that was against most of the other gr teams, as well as albion and warsaw. Bochicchio came to play with them a few times, and those were the only games they even competed in. Bender is a great shooter, but he can't carry them against the gr favorites.

That is what he did last year so why can't he do it this year with three other starters back. Yes they lost Donovan and he was good athlete but he didn't carry the load like Bender did last year. I was at the summer league too a couple of times and Alexander only had two starter there the whole time and played with Jv players to fill out the startering 5 and still won 3 games. I know it is the summer league but that right there tells me something. Bichicchio was there may two 1/2 games and they only won one game with him there. Alexander will win there division if they can produce bench scoring.

[hilly]

It still blows my mind that no one considers the best Oakfield team under the Holly regime as a serious contender. This is a team that even without Davis could easily go undefeated in the regular season and when James finally comes back dear lord watch out. If you don't believe me just show up for their first game

I think O-A is going to be very good, even with Davis missing time, but to say they will go undefeated is a far-fetched thing to say. I expect Seward to do some big things and I know there are plenty of other solid players (sorry, I'm on vacation so the mind isn't totally here), but Attica, Notre Dame and Elba should all be solid.
And I'm not going to throw Pembroke or Wheatland-Chili out of the mix either. This is going to be a very good year for the GR and I expect no team to go undefeated.

i understand that you're on vacation... but earlier in another thread you said that Attica might go undefeated this year... or have you changed your mind after their performance tonight

[secvfan]

busted hilly, oakfield has a better chance of an undefeated season then attica ever did due to the the supporting cast that they possess and attica can't fathom. Now i am from alexander but your truly seem to be anti-oakfield for some reason lol

No team will go undfeated there is to much talent in the GR this year. The teams to watch out for our ND, WC, Elba, Alexander, Attica, Oa top six for sure, all will be in the mix at the end of the year.

[secvfan]

i'm not arguing that there won't be an undefeated team in the GR this year, it had to do with a previous statement by hilabush about how attica could go undefeated.

It should be a great year for the GR a lot of close game.:D

[hilly]

i understand that you're on vacation... but earlier in another thread you said that Attica might go undefeated this year... or have you changed your mind after their performance tonight

Things change. I think Attica is the team to beat, but I also think any one of the teams I mentioned can win a game against the big boys.
I am also on vacation, so last night's game means nothing to me. I was playing Call of Duty 4 :)
Sorry, try me next week for solid opinions.

[sectionvcrazyfan]

It should be a great year for the GR a lot of close game.:D

Does anyone believe this is the greatest year for the gr in terms of the talent of the teams?

[Former GR Leaguer]

Does anyone believe this is the greatest year for the gr in terms of the talent of the teams?

Could be. In 97', three GR teams made the sectional finals (Elba, OA, and ND). That's the best year out of the last twenty that I can remember. Anybody else?

[duke20010]

notre dame has a good team after francis and boccincco, is rick liar hes been working hard in the summer with tim sullivan. hes 6'1 and has a strong lower body, he is the most under rated player in the GR

Sully is a really good trainer and overall teacher of the game, so I wouldn't be suprised if this kid you speak of is highly improved.

very solid i'm impressed.

That Gananda game was pretty ugly. The Williams kid (I think) was sick.

the game of the year was the upset in perry. which i was at.


and at least davis had a solid game against gananda. HA!

Davis did have a great game. And that Perry game was amazing. Nobody gave O-A a real chance - although I did call it - and the game itself was great.
The the O-A fans rushing the court ticked off a lot of Perry people. It'll be fun the next time those two match up.

[BravesRTops]

we had a series of upsets nov and i was at every one of them so ha!!

i know! i got called some names, and we were challanged to a fight in the parking lot! but our win was about all that mattered.....


but i think the sweetest part was the two pictures you put on the cover of the paper, and the sports section, with us storming the court

[BravesRTops]

lol yes we were told some rather rude things but probably in the top 2 games i've ever been too and yes i was on the cover too very visible. thank you

[boobiemiles]

Who on O-A can even think about guarding Beckford? Coach Holly must be having nightmares.

ha! eat your words, GR hater. beckford did nothing against oa, and noah seward pulled down twenty, TWENTY, 20! rebounds over you're boy beckford. nightmares? he's just dreaming of another big win like that.




i know i'm like 2 weeks late but i was reading over some old posts and saw this blasphemy
