Bryce Ross, Todd Harding make all GRC Squad

Bryce Ross and Todd Harding made the all Grand River Conference squad for the Worth County boys. Bryce is the first sophomore in a while to make the all GRC squad for Worth County's boys. With the Albany fans chanting, "Watch Ross!" early in the year, Ross showed that he was the real deal for the Tigers as he led his squad to a 17-10 year. It was their highest win total in the last three years. Bryce averaged around 15 points per game, cutting at will to the open area on the court and hitting a deadly 5-10 point jumper. After being prone to injury his freshman year, he was able to stay relatively healthy for his sophomore year, only missing a few games early in the year due to an ankle sprain. Bryce was also the first Worth County boys player in a while to make the all-District squad.

But teams could not just key on Bryce because of the development of Todd Harding. The elusive Tiger guard had a patented floater which he used to get over anyone. Having grown several inches since his freshman year, the Tiger junior was able to penetrate and get into the lane and get on the line. He was always full throttle on defense, getting a lot of rebounds despite his small size and a lot of steals as well. He was always getting behind the other teams' defenses to ignite the fast break. With these two players, the Tigers will still have a strong team next year that will contend for the upper tier of the Grand River Conference.
