Robert Gilchrist Named All Conference First Team

Robert Gilchrist Polk State CollegeBarking Abbey product Robert Gilchrist (1990 born) has received All Suncoast Conference First Team honours for his play at Division 1 JUCO Polk State College this season.

The crazy athletic 6’8″ Gilchrist (check his mixtape with his highlights from Future Stars 2009) averaged 9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game (good for 16th in the nation) on 48.1% shooting for the season, helping Polk State to the conference title with a 7-2 record in Suncoast Conference play (17-13 overall).

Despite the individual recognition, Gilchrist remains focused on his goal of winning a state championship. Talking to Hoopsfix said:



“It’s a good achievement and I am happy to get the recognition but I am focused and still working hard towards winning the state tournament.

We have a young team but have a lot of talent on our roster so we definitely have a chance at winning the state.”

By virtue of their Suncoast Conference championship, Polk State received an automatic bid for the post season, and will now spend a couple weeks getting in some practice time to prepare for the FCCAA – NJCAA Region 8 Tournament in Marianna, FL March 2nd-5th.
