Jon Goforth lived up to his self given name of "Atlas" as he put the team on his shoulders and carried the Reformers to a huge victory. The win pushed the Reformers record back to .500 and ran their winning streak to 3. It is hard to imagine any team playing better right now. Using a stifling zone defense that frustrated Highland and forced them to shoot almost exclusively from the outside, the Reformers were able to build a lead and were never really threatened as they cruised to an eleven point victory. Josh Harbert was not at 100% and his game suffered as a result. The week off will be huge for him as he works back to full strength. Aaron Cline locked down on D and was a true unsung hero by holding his assignment to forced shots and passes all night. Benji Hutson forced shot after shot but luckily seldom used backup Randy Pifer chipped in 8 to make up for his poor shooting.
The story of the game was, once again, Goforth. His driving and pull up jumpers were on point as he willed his team to the victory. "I just love playing with these guys. I love every one of them" said the obviously humble point guard after the game. Thomas Richardson made some solid plays on both ends of the floor and Michael Moon was a monster on the boards as every player was able to have a hand in the win. "If it wasn't for Jon, I shudder to think what this team would look like" said fan Jordan Lazar as she walked towards the parking lot.
Thursday nights game was canceled after the opponent heard of the 3 game win streak CGBC was on and asked to be removed from the schedule. Next game will not be until next Thursday night, Oct 11 at 8:15 pm at Double Springs Baptist Church.
"We are going to use this time to get back in the gym and work on our game. Now is not the time to rest and think we have arrived. We have only just begun" a determined Hutson said.
News and Notes: Donny Mathis missed the game due to the birth of his son Trace. We here at the CGBC News Network want to congratulate him and his wife Amber on this exciting time in their lives. Pastor Ben Skaug also missed the game due to the nagging leg injury he suffered two weeks ago. He is expected to return to the team next week. Karly Stache missed her third straight game with a serious case of "Priorities in the Wrong Place".
