I bet Goforth saw everything going down on social media last night and saved face by changing his story when interviewed today. If he told the family what WJHL and WCYB reports he said then why would he temporarily deactivate his Twitter account? I believe he banned Chris from everything, then saved face today through the media after he realized the people in BSG were gonna go after him and his job was in jeopardy. I’m just proud of the people sticking up for Chris and even the people not from BSG.

If changes need to be made, if incidents occurred with students, why the hell is a guy with developmental issues who, to my knowledge, has NEVER been anything but positive and supportive of all things Union (and Powell Valley, etc..) and didn't do anything wrong getting punished, but the bozo administration is still in place? 
 
It makes ZERO sense. If changes need to be made, start at the damn top, not the bottom. 

Gate City’s Adam McClelland’s 35 yard game winning field goal (wounded duck) vs Jefferson Forest in the 1997 semifinals. Still gives me chills to watch it with the news coverage under the goal post.  
Will Hubbard’s game ending interception in 2003 vs Radford in the semifinals is another great one. Radford was driving late and had the ball around the GC 40. Radford’s QB scrambled out and then back to the middle of the field and threw the ball right to Hubbard. GC ran out the clock and claimed a 28-21 victory. 
Minds well add Logan Byrd drilling 40+ yard field goals in the 2010 semifinals at Radford in the pouring snow. After being put on “no contact, just kicking” by his doctor because of his shoulder saved potentially a momentum swing by running down a Radford player from about 80 yards inside the 5 after GC had a bad snap on a FG attempt and then held Radford to 3pts. Ended up being huge for GC.  
Funny how those moments happened in the semifinals.  But fortunately there are plenty more huge plays in GC history. Those 3 stick out in my mind and are probably 3 of my favorites from my lifetime. Some of the old timers would probably add to the list. Like Phil Rogers taking the opening kickoff to the house in the 1970 state championship game vs James Monroe. 

I was told tonight that this is right.

I’m just going to support and cheer them on and hopefully we have a winning season. I probably won’t make any predictions. I just want the kids and coaches to work hard to turn things around. If I see improvement from the past few years I’ll chalk it up as a winning season if the record doesn’t reflect it. We have a lot to fix. Just going to stay positive. Legion Field is getting a new scoreboard and things are being done to get the kids excited. So I hope it all pays off.

I would assume they would sell at the door. But I know a lot are buying online. 

You're welcome.  Heard Pulaski Co HS gym holds 3,500, but the VHSL says it holds 3,000.  I expect a packed house Tuesday. Go Big Blue!

According to Brent Roberts, tickets will also be sold at the door. 

Already 2 games at Wise anyway, no need to extend things later.  Those 3-4 game ideas, especially on a weekday, are the worst.

Why can’t Wise Central girls play at Virginia High? It works both ways. GC won the Region D, it’s their choice, sorry but that’s how it goes. My opinion is that boys and girls should play on separate days because of this issue. Plus GC historically does not play well at UVA-Wise, not sure why, it’s probably a mental block. That’s why GC was tickled when Graham wanted the State Semifinal game at Tazewell last year.
But Gate City has won some historic games at VHS in the past. Good choice by Scotty, Brent, and all involved to have it at the Bearcat Den. Most GC fans much rather travel to VHS vs UVA-Wise. Plus having just 2 games at each venue will keep fans from arguing over seating and parking.

They hate us cause they McAnus. 

Everyone from Central is never wrong. 
Everyone from Gate City is never right. 
The End. 
 
 
 
 
 

Ole Duncan picking bones with everyone. 

The kid in question was instructed too before the game. The team was told mac will not dunk on us tonite. Now take it with a grain of salt just know I dont have a dog in this race but the hate for 1 team and school in the M7 voted on by the others would be your Walmart warriors 

Friday night, "Nothing easy. Put that guy in the mat whatever it takes. I dont care what you do. You give up an easy layup you will never play for me again." 
"Yes sir pops!"
Sunday morning, "And Jesus said, Love thy neighbor as thyself. For the greatest commandment is love." And all the halos come out shining bright. 
I really couldn't live with myself but when it's all about you it makes it a whole lot easier I guess. 
Take another look at TJ on this film. After not one but two of his guys blatantly and obviously shove Mac McClung into the mat, he is fussing to the refs about the clapping. 
 

Not so fast my friend.........
What some people on this board may have forgotten is that BEFORE the game in question had even started, the Central coaches were talking to the team in the locker room. Part of their game plan was to "take Mac out" if he tried to dunk on them. I was at that game. Was told that information before the game started. Tensions were obviously high. Then............you saw what happened when Mac went up to shoot.
You are living in a fantasy world if you believe "that" coach's attitude/beliefs do not extend to his team.
Not sure the Central - GC relationship in basketball will ever get better as long as McAmis is on the bench. I also know our fan base.....we can be kind of.........uh.........fanatical at times.
Hate it for the Central kids. They have potential, but the coach dampens it.
It is not just GC that has issues with that particular Central team. It seems when that team gets down in a game, questionable tactics pop up. That deterioration of behavior is directly caused by the coaching staff. Hope Richlands does not get to experience it first hand.

Yeah I know who donated the money, I'm well aware as is anyone else. Do you call him Daddy? 
I seem to recall the stadium being built where it is because it's a great location right off the four lane. Where else were they gonna put it? 
 
And acting like you are unaware of the situation with the officials and Wise is silly, we both know you know what I mean. There's no need to bring all that mess back up, and no it didn't happen this week or whatever, but you are fully aware of what I mean. 
 
It truly sucks Lester got hurt, he was a good kid when he was at Union it seemed like from the little I saw. But sometimes when you play with fire, you get burnt. You can't expect teams or players to let someone beat on them, push them, etc... and not eventuallynget mad and retaliate. It wasn't the right decision, but it's an understandable one. 

Funny how central fans forget that your coach started this aggression with gate city by trying to take out mcclung 2 years ago. 

Maybe it’s time for you to move on and leave central out of your agenda! Calling a kid a name is uncalled for and you should be ashamed. I dont have a problem with you! I have a problem wit you calling kids names. His team didn’t go after any opposing team. After what dean did to our player looks like Scotty is promoting violence! Especially what Scotty said to the central coaches and threatening them. I guess you have your opinions on what you think may have happens, but I have seen 5 video clips of all different angles and clearly central coaches were not at fault and they show Scotty starting the whole thing because central was up by 3. But anyway show some class and stop calling kids names and grow up! 

I heard last night that it’s the SWD’s choice (Graham), and they want it at Graham of course.
