(Sorry, can find no video of this.)
Miller Grove defeated Alatoona last night, 50-48, to take the Georgia Boys AAAAA Title. Alterique Gilbert had 15 points, 4 assists and five steals in a defensive battle. Alatoona was previously undefeated at 31-0, Miller Grove finished 30-2.
Cannot overstate the importance of AG to next year's hopes. although, unlike most here, I do not necessarily see a Gilbert-Adams starting backcourt. Need a shooter at the 2. Gilbert allows that. He is a legit 5-star McD's AA PG who can take over the team from the get-go. This will permit the luxury of having a pure shooter, Purvis, at SG with Adams coming off the bench behind both of them. It will dispense once and for all with DHam as a point forward, allowing him to operate from the 4, DeAndre-style, using the baseline on his drives, rebounding, taking the corner trey. This will free the 3 slot for Larrier or another pure shooter in Jackson.
My hope, anyway. And maybe Durham comes in healthy and surprises at the 5.
