Team: Guardian Angels Central Catholic
Mascot: Bluejays
Colors: Blue and White
Class: C-2
Conference: Mid-State
Head Coach: Jason Folkers (1st season)
2020-2021 record: 5-20 (lost to Oakland-Craig in Sub-Districts)
Returning Starters: N/A
Season Outlook:
The GACC Boys Basketball Team looks to be improved over last year under new Head Coach Jason Folkers, who is a Hartington native.
Coach Folkers gives KTIC Sports his background.
I think Coach Folkers will bring in new and fresh ideas to the program.
The Bluejays need a spark of energy and enthusiasm and a jumpstart if you may.
Coach Folkers talks about some of the returners.
Coach Folkers says the team is athletic, and will look to press and get up and down the floor this season.
GACC has to be upbeat and positive throughout this entire season to be successful, in my opinion.
Season Outlook:
GACC hosts Wisner-Pilger in the season opener on Friday. Coach Folkers previews the matchup with the Gators.
The Bluejays are in Sub-District C2-3 with Oakland-Craig, Omaha Nation, and Tekamah-Herman. Coach Folkers says the Knights are big while the Chiefs are fast and athletic.
I feel like playing in the Mid-State Conference and turning into a more up tempo and fast paced team like GACC is will suit them very well this year.
I think the Bluejays will match up well against most if not all of the teams they play this year.
I feel that this team has a lot of potential for growth and improvement throughout the season, and look for GACC to keep climbing the ladder as the season wears on.
I think this team will win the games they’re supposed to and possibly pull an upset or two this year, and finish above .500 potentially.
I think the Bluejays will be much improved from last year at the very least.
