GACC (4-16) hosts Pierce (16-3) Thursday night.
Pierce won 53-21 at home over Clarkson/Leigh Tuesday night.
Very difficult game and battle on GACC's hands in this one.
GACC's remaining regular season games aren't easy, but I'm sure a program like GACC doesn't want them to be easy.
GACC has to come out and play a good game on Thursday.
Pierce is a very good team, having just beaten GACC 55-35 on their home floor last Tuesday in the Mid State Conference Tournament Quarterfinals.
GACC has to bring it and must have a great attitude coming into this one Thursday night.
It could certainly make a difference for GACC one way or another.

Really good game on Tuesday following the loss to Crofton.
GACC (19-3) wraps up the regular season Thursday night at home against Pierce (12-9).
Pierce fell 35-31 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Tuesday night.
This figures to be a good game, but GACC should be able to prevail.
A win for GACC would be really good for power points purposes without a doubt.
It would help with seeding down the line and things of that sort for GACC.
GACC can get to 20 wins with a win in this game, and that would be a tremendous accomplishment for them.
GACC should win their Sub-District pretty easily and then would look to get redemption at Sub-State should they get that far.
GACC has a lot to play for yet, and wrapping up the regular season with a win at home over Pierce would be a good way to cap off the regular season and head into the postseason.
GACC will be hosting Sub-Districts it appears so this isn't the last game these Seniors will ever play on their home floor.
