is he going to finish the season?

Yes

what is going on at GACC? They haven't been good in awhile for boy's basketball. Who is their coach? I see their scores and their games aren't even close.

This year football was 2-6 and their basketball team is currently 5-17. Last year they were 4-5 and 5-20. The year before that, they were 4-5 and 11-13. I'm going to guess there are/were a couple classes stacked together that maybe weren't as talented as they had been. That's a tough part of the state and schedule to compete with when you don't have the Jimmies and Joes. Isn't the basketball coach this year in his first year? I remember it being open last year. Maxpreps says the coach this year is Jason Folkers

Yes new coach this year. I think they’ve had three HC’s in four years?

 

[Hardwoodbeaver]

This is 3rd coach in 3 years

 

[yellowstone39]

This is 3rd coach in 3 years

from the looks of their scores, they sure haven't gotten any better

 

[Hardwoodbeaver]

Looks like they have been getting killed all year. I hear the culture of parents and administrators there are really toxic!!

They have lost games this year, some by big margins, but they play one of the toughest schedules in the state in Class C2.

They have played...
9 Division 1 Teams
6 Division 2 Teams
6 Division 3 Teams
3 Division 4 Teams

Only Cedar Catholic played more Division 1 teams this year in C2 than GACC (11).

They are going through a tough time now, which had to happen eventually. It's also a tough look when the girls program is so dominant.

That would be no fun. Hard to build a program when administrators don't back the coach and let the parents run the show

Crete coach John Larsen, Nebraska's all-time wins leader in girls basketball, is retiring

With 638 wins and 10 state titles, Crete coach John Larsen is retiring to spend more time with his family. He is the winningest high school girls basketball coach in

Crete girls basketball coach John Larsen is retiring. He is Nebraska's all-time wins leader in girls basketball with 638 wins and 10 state titles. He won 560 of those games and nine Class A titles at Lincoln Southeast. He then stepped away from the game for seven years and then took Crete to a state championship in 2020.

I have heard GACC boys basketball is open

If that's true, they'll be on 4th head boys coach in 4 years. Hard to get a program built when you change coaches that often.

Nothing on their school website, social media or NDE website yet.

Not surprised one bit. The coach they had this year is always changing jobs.

 

[SPbObRT]

he is only been at GACC for one year, parents their are pretty frugal, the boys teams have been down for some time now.

It was a vey low key retirement. The players were told at the beginning of the season so the community knew, but it was never officially announced or anything
