Gibson is best when he’s in attack mode to the cup. Randy prefers to slash and drop a floater time after time to the basket. He must work on his perimeter shooting for down the road. Randy brings a blue collar mentality to the floor at all times whenever he plays the game. Can the Eagles make it back to the Class 1A State Championship Game again this season ?
