Gate City had 265 of rushing, 197 yards of passing, 16 first downs and only one punt in their lost to Marion. Yes, they did have 9 fumbles and lost 2 of these at critical times in the first half. However, with the offense they play, split back veer, which is option football the chance for fumbling is greater than other offenses. Even in their lost to Ridgeview, Gate City moved the ball with a player who rushed for over a hundred yards. In other games they came out ready to play and took leads against both Abingdon and Sullivan South who are larger schools. I have not seen any quit this year in Gate City in any player or coach. Next to Richlands, they play the toughest 2A schedule in the region and every week they come out and do their best. Hats off to Marion, for making an incredible play at the end of an exciting game.
