  1. Pretty cool read. https://tricitiessports.com/promise-made-promise-kept-in-improbable-gate-city-victory-at-dobynsbennet-p117085-1.htm?fbclid=IwAR0uCMaH0RpAIUrhth7moS5suQONLlSvPpUpsFf9CENVJ5QLOBa3Htyk8vQ
  2. Guessing Fugate. Played at GC many years ago. Been around the program for years. Kids like him.
  3. Despite the 92-degree heat, optimism was high during Wednesday’s media day session at GC. According to head coach Jeremy Houseright, the Blue Devils have 60 players on the roster. That figure is nearly double the number of players from the 2021 media day and includes several juniors who have been away from football for a couple years. Fleming said the positive vibes have been building ever since Blue Devils held a nearly three-hour workout that began at midnight on the opening day of practice July 28. “This is most momentum we’ve had since I’ve been part of this program,” said Fleming, who scored three touchdowns as a sophomore. “We’ve got more depth so we can give guys rest now instead of having to play both ways all the time.”
  4. THINK those two kids are football players at Twin Springs.
  5. He is a good guy, with a good head on his shoulders. Should be able to easily relate to the players. Keys will be surrounding himself with experienced assistants, keeping the younger kids interested, and managing the pressure. He will 100% have support & backing. Will be interesting to see his offense. He liked to get shots off quickly when he played.
  6. Phase 3 will not allow for football. Not sure how you can say you are addressing cross contamination between student groups if you allow kids from literally every class in your school to have real, team practices and games. Cannot be accomplished. Plus.…...if you do allow football, and then do not allow band, think of the uproar. Much less contact during band practice or competitions. If you allow football, you will have to allow band. Heck, football and band at Gate City probably make up 30% of the entire student body. Very easy for me to see our Governor reacting to the predicted Fall surge of Covid-19 cases by throwing all of the Commonwealth back into Phase 2...……..or worse. Just do not see football happening. “High school football, folks should be training right now, getting ready. I don’t know what will happen with the high school season down the road, but certainly quarterbacks can be throwing to receivers, receivers are wearing gloves. That’s kind of common sense. We’re not doing tackle football during the summer anyway. There’s certainly some weight training not using shared equipment, some drills that linemen can do that will accommodate the Phase II guidelines. “Soccer, I coached high school soccer for six years. There’s ways to train and structure your practices without having intentional contact.” “If socially distancing competitions are taking place, the following conditions must also be met: “Outdoor recreational sports are allowable if 10 feet of physical distance can be maintained by all participants and spectators at all times and all shared items can be disinfected between uses.

  8. Question. How do head coaches bring assistants with them? If these people are not already employed at the school, does the school make positions for them?
  9. Union's year will be next year. Will be surprised if they and Radford do not play for the region championship. Don't forget that Union was only a missed put back at the buzzer against Central from being one of the two M7 teams advancing to regional play this year. I agree with Stan on this one. McAmis as COY is a joke. He took a team picked to win the district, and slightly underachieved. Vermillion took a team picked to finish second in the district, and went to the state championship game. Curious. Wonder how many times a coach has taken their team to the state championship game and NOT been COY in their district and region? It happened to both GC coaches this year. Wonder how many times a coach has won a state championship and NOT been COY in their district and region? Happened to GC's coach this year.
  10. Well.…….GC boys won the regular season, conference tournament, and Region D Tournament...…...and McAmis was the Region COY.
  11. Serious question. How can GC's Coach Houseright NOT be Coach of the Year? GC girls were picked to finish around 4th in the conference, & Coach Houseright took that team and won a state championship.
  12. Stan.......now your posts about GC basketball make more sense to me. Sounds like you have a long held hatred for some reason.
  13. JM 66 GC 52 2:29 remaining GC shot 18% in the third quarter. Hard to have any chance to recover from that.
