The Bluejays (5-4) take on Pender (3-8) on the road Thursday night.
The Pendragons lost 57-48 at home to Wynot Monday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.
Pender struggled to close out that game and GACC struggled to close out games against a couple of great teams so it should be interesting to see what happens.
I think the Bluejays have a great chance to win and feel they are an up and coming team.
GACC is off until next Friday after this so the Bluejays have to make this one count and go out there and play really well.
This isn't one of those games GACC has to just win, it's a game the Bluejays need to win big.
GACC has to dominate the Pendragons from the start, and take it to Pender for four quarters.
The Bluejays have played solid basketball so far this year, and I look for that to continue Thursday night.
GACC has to come out and manhandle the Pendragons, and win big over Pender.
The Bluejays have to wipe the floor with the Pendragons and leave them in the dust.
GACC is a team on the rise and a team that is getting better, in my opinion.
It is nice to see the Bluejays win some games this year after losing a bunch the last couple of years.
GACC has already surpassed their win total of each of the last two seasons so that is something to be happy and excited about if you are the Bluejays.
GACC has to continue to build and improve upon what they've done so far, and put things all together against Pender.
The Bluejays can definitely roll and win big in this one if they put their minds to it.
GACC has to play suffocating defense and needs to shoot the ball well also.
The Bluejays have to make life extremely difficult for the Pendragons, and play a complete four quarter game.
If GACC does these things they should be in for a heck of a game and a heck of a win Thursday night.

GACC (9-2) takes on Bishop Neumann (1-8) on the road Tuesday night.
The Cavaliers are having an un-Neumann like year as their latest loss was a 41-32 setback at Nebraska City Lourdes on Saturday.
Offense has been the Cavaliers' biggest issue so far this year.
Neumann struggles to score and the Bluejays have a stifling defense, which is great news for GACC.
The Bluejays should be able to go into Wahoo and hand Neumann a big L.
Still though you can bet GACC will get Neumann's best shot and a great effort.
The Cavaliers may be 1-8, but Neumann still has a lot of pride and tradition on their side.
The Bluejays need to come out and play hard and extremely well Tuesday night.
GACC has a lot of time to prepare and get ready for Neumann so they should be locked and loaded and ready to go come Tuesday night.
The Bluejays are going to be awfully tough if they play the way they have the last two games in particular.
GACC dominated two quality opponents and played complete four quarter games.
The Bluejays have to repeat that recipe for success Tuesday night.
GACC has to be focused and intense, and must be ready to get after it for four quarters.
The Bluejays have to take it to the Cavaliers for four quarters, and show Neumann that they are the superior team.
GACC has to come out and be ready to crush the Cavaliers.
The Bluejays have to come out and make a statement and flex their muscles.
GACC has to take the fight to Neumann for four quarters, and make sure they do everything in their power to win going away.
A big win for the Bluejays would be a nice way to win this one if you are GACC.
The Bluejays would just assume win by blowout as opposed to seeing a close and tightly contested ball game.
That's the last thing GACC wants I am sure.
