Not really so surprising.  Guilford isn't at all the same team it's been the past few years and Greensboro recruited every JC transfer it could get for this season.  Several of Greensboro's "new" players are from GTCC (Guilford Technical Community College) and they've been a a very strong JC program the past few years.  With that being said, however, Guilford should have won this game in both regulation and in OT, but could never put GCP away.  At any rate, congratulations to the Pride.

The Generals squeaked one out at home. Somewhat disturbing to not see Cimino in the line up. He's the only senior, captain, leading retuning scorer. Last season he was the  assist leader and 2nd in minutes played. I hope he's not hurt.

They did play very well for their youth.  A bunch of soph's and frosh basically.  As I mentioned before, so long as they play hard, they can play with anyone.  They need to make a higher percentage of FT's and control the glass which helps with the tempo of course.  They'll also need to cut down on the TO's.  Overall good showing for a team with a ton of question marks.  How bout that CHARGE!!!  As for Cimino, I'm sure there was a reason he didn't play and that it wasn't some run of the mill yank/benching.  We'll see as the time goes along. 

Go Gennies!

I can't remember a time since becoming a Randolph-Macon fan where we've had a team better poised to do so well as this year. I am really looking forward to this season. GO JACKETS!

The Tigers' season begins in 2 days!  I understand that they did well the other night against Christopher Newport University, last season's USA South Tournament champions, who were ranked second behind Ferrum in this year's USA South Preseason Poll.

Guilford over Methodist tonight in Fayetteville, 77-53 - Josh Pittman with 19 and at least two other Quakers were in double figures.  Another game Friday night at GC versus McMurry from Texas - no nickname for McMurry, but the team formerly known as the Indians won 17 last season and trounced Barclay College from KS 82-25 to start the 2010-11 campaign.  I'd never heard of Barclay, so I googled it - they're a coed member of the ACCA with about 250 students and only four sports -basketball and volleyball for women and basketball and soccer for men.  All in all, then, not a representative test of how strong McMurry is this year.   The GC/McM game is part of a tournament, with Emory and Averett in the opener.  Saturday will have the consolation game at 3 and the championship at 5.

It's interesting that Hampden-Sydney's Ru White and Randolph-Macon's Jordan Brown were teammates at L.C. Bird High.  

In fact, Ru White was the Dominion District MVP in his senior year (2005-2006) and, the following year, Jordan Brown was the Dominion District MVP in his senior year (2006-2007).  These two will get a couple of opportunities to play against each other as part of a great school rivalry this year!   Saturday, January 22 @ Kirby Field House  ... and on Saturday, February 19 @ Crenshaw.

Quakers host a doubleheader tournament tonight in Ragan-Brown:

Averett vs Emory at 6 pm

I look forward to seeing our Quaker Club members tonight at the halftime reception.  If any posters from the other three schools will be there, look me up!

Jackets play Shenandoah in the first round of the Gettysburg tournament-maybe we'll get a taste of what they'll be like in the ODAC next yr! Hope we play ok.....

In a game up at Haverford.....WLU is up 32-20 with 2:46 to go in the first half.  Started slow and nothing was dropping (this includes lay ups) but they have kept the TO's down and the cap has come off the bucket.  HU is hacking away it seems and the Gennies could be in for a big win on the road.
