Ryan4VT 4,554 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I put a bunch of dots lol. I know who it is. Take it with a grain of salt. But it's still cool to be mentioned with those other schools, regardless of publication. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I saw a national High school football publication a year or two ago that had Gate City vs. Union as one of the top 10 must see games for that season nationwide. Can't remember the publication, but it was on the magazine rack at Food City. Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 http://contest.usatodayhss.com/vote/rivalry-2013/round-1/va That doesn't mean anything. They just picked five rival games in VA and let fans vote. And it wasn't close... Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 We have a strong dislike for Union and vice versa. I'm not sure it'll ever be at the level of Powell Valley hatred. Gate City and Appalachia shared a lot of respect towards each other. Dislike among the fans will always be there, but most of the players these days (due to social media) are friends with each other. Personally, I think the Richlands game should get more attention. The series right now stands at 23-23-1. Folks that's pretty dang close.

Ryan4VT 4,554 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Richlands and Union have a nice rivalry going. And it seems like in every sport, Richlands and Graham gets a little chippy and there's always a Twitter war after the games. I didn't realize the GC series was tied. That's as close as it can get.

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 That was called the Kingsport Times-News... Magazine rack. Not newspaper rack. Pretty sure it was Sporting News HS football preview. If not that, then it was Athlon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBDevotee 34 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I think the three straight Union victories over Richlands, all occurring after the 48 minute horn had sounded, is hard to surpass in terms of exciting rivalry - and I sincerely doubt will be duplicated ever again. As a matter of fact, I suspect Richlands will end that streak this season. But I know several Union fans claim that as the high point of the Bear football program so far. I've heard some say last's year's overtime game at Bullitt Park was their favorite Union game yet. I disagree. I don't think the Lee High/Union game of 2014 will ever be topped - I know it was a tough loss for the Generals and some of the Lee County folks contemplated changing their team name to the Buck Privates afterwards. When you defeat and demote a rival in the same game - well that is hard to exceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,554 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Pray tell, what in his post was unreasonable? Maybe the part where the locals wanted to change their name? I agree that the current Richlands/Union run of games is the best series maybe on this end of the state. 5 games decided by 11 points is hard to top.
