6-AA Championship Game: Blessed Trinity vs. GAC
The Greater Atlanta Christian School Boys were the second half of the doubleheader I photographed last Saturday. This was the second year in a row that the GAC boys made it as far as the finals. This year, with the tournament being held on their home floor in the new Long Forum, they brought a significant fan presence.
The game was full of action. Trent Wiedeman was back in action this week and made a presence for himself underneath the basket.
Rivals in Any Sport
Greater Atlanta Christian School has had a strong Women’s Basketball program for the full three seasons I’ve been photographing the team’s games. The first year they won the AA State Championship game. Last year, they went to the state tournament. Both years, The Wesleyan School has been a tough opponent.
This year, Wesleyan moved down to A while GAC stayed in AA. That marked the end of the rivalry, at least for the games that count. Buford’s women’s squad, however, brought the same performance that Wesleyan has shown for the past several years.
This was the second Buford-GAC game I had photographed in the past month, although this time it was for the region 6-AA Championship. However, the outcome was the same – Buford defeated GAC. GAC took the second place trophy, and proceeds to the State Tournament as a #2 seed tomorrow.
