I will keep the Gallia Academy B-Ball Player Cole Jones there Senior Forward in my prayers tonight. I pray that he heals O.K. Hopefully, the Blue Devils will drive forward and win some big games this season in the SEOAL. Congrats to the CAVS.

Were competitive until...
Dprry 7462...GAHS was very competitive the first 10 minutes of play until Jones went down. That seemed to take the life out of GAHS.
Last year, GAHS was down something like 29-4 after one period at Chillicothe.

Yes i was shocked my self they were up by 1 at the end of the first quarter. Yes the Jones(leg)hurt,but the outcome of the game would have remained the same. Way to much speed and quicknest for us to handle.
I can say that I've never seen an team play in the GAHS gym with that much speed/quicknest. I found myself just waiting for a monster JAM from Chilly.
On to next week!!!!!!!
Work on breaking the press with very little dribble.
Any word on Cole??????

I sure hope that the kid can make a full recovery.....Gallia Academy has been hit as hard by injuries as any school.....Golden in football, and now Jones in basketball.....in both cases, they were season ending injuries to kids who were a vital part of each program. In fact, Golden would have been the starting point guard in basketball, so his injury has affected 2 sports.
