Bet money you had to google the zip code.

McAnus encourages dirty play. No doubt about it. If he didn’t encourage it, he would discipline his players every year when they play us. Nope, what does he do? He claps hard with a gritty face like he freakin loves it. They try to roughhouse Gate City every year but it ends up pissing GC off and they get their arse beat. Pissing GC off on the court is the worst thing to do. Once you give them fire, it’s over. Wise Central and McAnus haven’t learned this yet.

Union over WC just cause of Slagle. Battle might have the edge on WC as well.

Has Northwood found a coach yet?

January 22nd will be fun.

Same ole McANUS and clan! The hatred is real. I love it. I hate I missed this one because of work, I certainly make the next one. The updates I was getting had me on the edge of my seat. Kept waiting for the “punches thrown” text.

11 3-balls for Lee tonight in the boys game. GC rebounded the ball well imo. Once GC switched to their game ball after Jacob Stewart of Lee High hit his 1,000th point (started the game with a Lee High ball), it was never all that close again. Conspiracy? Good to win that big and not play so great though. Luke Reed is so impressive on the board and hustle. Sallee and George rebounding well too. That’s going to be the key, not letting teams get so many opportunities. Lee was hot from 3 land. Tip your hat and go on. Good to see the girls get a large lead with Thompson having a bad night. Proves they are no one pony show. Fullen is a beast and Houseright is going to be special in a few years. She’s already owning the paint and came up with 7 of her own tonight. And that JV boys team...DEADLY! Going to be a fun run the next 5 years. At one point they scored 10 or so points before Lee could get across midcourt. This bunch could’ve hung 100 if Shannon let them. I know some Lee people are probably mad about Shannon pressing all game, but I personally love it.

And actually something you wouldn’t know anything about.

They lay eggs and die I believe. Their eggs will survive the winter months and hatch during the spring...I think.

Not sure what happened and why Drew Vermillion of gate City isn’t on the rosters listed above. But Drew was selected as a Punter for the VHSCA All-Star game for Saturday, he will be on the Blue Team. Isaac Stapleton of GC will be playing on the O-Line for the West Squad in the FCA game.

On the 7th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. 7 swans a swimming.

The McRib is back...for a limited time.

Jeremy Houseright lead honcho at Gate City.

I’m hearing a lot of kids are already buying in (that haven’t played football in awhile) and it hasn’t even been a week. Amazing how hiring one guy can boost moral and change the whole outlook of a program. Jeremy is super excited and ready to get to work. I guess the next question is who will be the assistants and coordinators.

Games for tomorrow (Tues 12/11) have been pushed back a day to Wed (12/12). It’s still a super with a 4pm JV girls tip.

Got word it was a charlie horse for Dean. Took the air out of the Big Blue fans when he went down. He was able to walk under his own power after the game. Scary moment. He should be ok. Va High’s program has took the turn that the GC football program took. Hardly any fans, and hardly anything promising for the future. That JV team can barely dribble. GC’s JV is something else, those boys can ball and play some defense with some shooters that’ll put em down. The varsity played fairly well for the most part. Some things to work on. I do know the Reed kid might be a starter before the season is over. Luke is very physical and creates a lot of 2nd chances with his play on the boards. He hit 10pts tonight off the bench. It was good to be back at the Den tonight. Miss winning big games in that place. But I now see why they dropped us from their schedule.

From what I’ve seen from the community on social media, folks are extremely happy. As so am I. Housey will give his all for his players and the players will give their all for him. It’s a long road ahead, we all understand that. But we got a fired up, enthusiastic, players coach. That’s what we need right now. The kids trust in Jeremy, he trusts them, the kids love him, as he loves them, he respects the kids, they respect him. That itself will go miles in the rise of the program back to former glory. We must support and be patient. Go Big Blue! Is it August yet?

New Head Football Coach at Gate City HS. Congrats to Coach Houseright. Let’s get this bad boy rolling!

The originator of the topic had Gman take it down.

Not sure KTN got the memo yet. http://www.timesnews.net/Football/2018/12/05/New-Gate-City-football-coach-discussed

Is anything official yet?

👍

Jeremy.
