GCL Basketball

Your thoughts....

Definately one of the best leagues in the country. Of course there's your moellers lasalle elder and x but the other divisions aren't bad either...derrick brown went to CJ and they have a great program as well some central teams

This is random...but anyway. I hate it when people say "other conferences have better basketball players, but the GCL wins because they play a better team game." Now, I will give it to these people that the athleticism in some other conferences is superior...but just because you're quicker and can jump higher, doesn't mean you're a better basketball player.

There's a reason that you'll find a GCL school near the finals every year...because overall, they have basketball players...not just athletes.

Those that make it to the next level either have both...are are just far superior in athleticism.

I'm biased, because a coworkers son starts for LaSalle (and is pretty freaking good too) but the GCL is a great league. I don't really like to compare it to other conferences, because each conference brings something separate from the other conferences. I don't really know how the GCL does it, but it always seems to be really good, year after year, for decades now it seems. Plus their fans are freaking nuts.

I HATE dayton.

Went to Moeller. Played at Moeller. Love the GCL.

Lancers baby, State champs! It was good to go up to the finals and see them win state in a sport other than Cross-Country.

GCL?

If I wanted to see a bunch of white guys playing slow paced, stone age basketball I'll go to a Knights of Columbus pick up game. At least I'll get cheap beer there.




just trying to get a reaction

Having grown up hundreds of miles away in another state I'm kind of indifferent. Regardless, the GCL has some of the best high school basketball I've ever seen. My wife and I have both taught a lot of GCL players so I follow with interest. One of my former students hit the shot that propelled LaSalle to the title game this year so that was a very cool moment.
