Along with being one of the most anticipated teams in the area this year, ANC has alot on their plate. One of the biggest things on their plate is being able to get "their" state championship.
Now...here's the funny part...ANC didn't win the state chip last year...Friends Central did & in doing so, they took a huge lost this year losing 3 big time seniors in Travis Robinson, Dom Morris & HJ Gaskins...who graduated off to Boston University.
Coming back stronger, ANC decided to make a bigger impact on the league this year by doing something that no team in this area had ever seen. HOW ABOUT 3 PLAYERS OFF TO THE BIG EAST...Along with Macolm Gilbert (Pitt) & Rakeem Christmas (Syracuse) announcing their commitment & signing to their future in the BIG EAST, another player on the team decided to take things in his own hands by turning down Duke, UNC, Kentucky & others for Big East power Villanova in Savon Goodman. ANC decided that if they were to be big this year, they had to do it big, it started out as last week playing in the TIP-OFF CLASSIC IN CHICAGO. They not only took home some wins, but the biggest win in country...BEATING THE NUMBER 1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY; FINDLAY PREP. Findlay features nationally ranked Myck Kabongo, Nick Johnson, & Amir Garrett. Those 3 were no match for the big 3 from ANC. Goodman would take home the MVP of the tournament with a 24 pts. & 14 rebounds performance versus Findlay Prep to commit to Nova a couple days after.
ANC not only made a statement but proved they belong in any league and if I was any team facing this team this year, I would practice hard because this team is coming for much respect and expect nothing but a challenging game and teams that come after this buzz. Coach Givens is doing a great job, putting things together and managing the opportunity of having a great team this year. Congratulations to ANC and their well deserved start.
