Week 8 & 9: "Role Play" Could Decide Another GCL Title

(Left-Paul Byrd Right- Rashad Peterkin) 23- Jordan/33-Bird(Role Reversal)

Coming towards the end of the season.. Expectations are getting high.
Role Play becomes a huge factor.. in every game.

1st quarter jitters are a thing of the past
Turnovers are dwindling
High Percentage Shots(layups) are winning ballgames
Points from the bench are coming from the unexpected.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every game is different.... because the preparation is different for every team the Spartans face
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each one of these scenarios have worked or could possibly work.

Jorian & Jared score 20 points per game and the bench puts up 12-20. (almost happened)

Jared, Paul, JaBriel put up 12-15 a piece and the bench would put up 12-17. Jorian would have a mediocre night.( this has happened).

You could have Gavin go off for 9-12. Rashad/Adrian for 9 a piece.. Matt/A.J./Brian/Brady for 5 each .. and have Paul/Jared/Jorian/JaBriel sing "show tunes:.. and win a ballgame (The Next Purcell Game... but could have happened during the Carrol game)


Anyway...

We have seen a variety of dominant offensive performances by the squad this year.
You could put any opponent against the Spartans and they will have the blueprint to "have their way" with your defense..

If the Spartans can "hold their own" .. "study the script" and "execute".. They just might retain their GCL Grey Central Championship.. as early as Feb. 2nd..

-------------------
But then again..... it could be Feb 5th ... (find out below)
