NOBODY GETS BETTER BY PLAYING CREAM PUFF TEAMS, I look for the passing game to be opened up big time, and for the "d" to run different stunts to make the most out of the skill guys speed...can we say BLITZ every down, with man to man on the outside

Most of skill guys are back , o line may have 1 or two starters back, on "d" STIDHAM is back as well as MITCHELL, ZIRKLE and several more.ALL will depend on line play, several of new guys had plenty of snaps due to blowouts and injuries last year. Everyone is talking about MITCHELL,but you better watch 17, DAKOTA OWENS and the JENKINS kid. BAILEY TURNER will return at QB but the line will be the key

UNION vs BETSY Thursday at 6pm over there, our new line up front will get a real test.Skill pos. we should be good at but line play will tell the tell

Just because you are a smaller school doesnt mean that you are not good, look at the 1974 Powell Valley team, that included BARRY HAMLER, DENNIS DAVIS, JERRY MYERS , AND JAMES MITCHELLS dad JIMMY, 28-0 WON STATE,with BURRELL PAYE as coach, they had wins over DB coached by BUCK VAN HUSS, they also beat several aaa schools in CHRISTMAS tournaments .My point is that anyone who works hard and has talent (GATE CITY does)can win state,look what APPALACHIA and JONESVILLE did at 5-5 , then win state.

I think there will always be at least 2 schools in Wise County,I may be wrong but the TOWN OF BIG STONE GAP has more population that the other towns and cities in WISE COUNTY, with that comes votes ,not only in the local election but state wide.That was proven in the 2 schools one site concept a few years ago.The Kilgores went to bat for BIG STONE GAP,and the rest is history.I agree with the other post in that UNION being empty would be a political nightmare and that CENTRAL being "THE WISE CO SCHOOL"would just insure that every kid would go to LEE HIGH, hell most of the NORTON kids dont like CENTRAL

where is cody howie going to school?and BALL

EASTSIDE closing will just make CASTLEWOOD become bigger and close SAINT PAUL down too, because the younger kids will want to follow the older siblings.JI BURTON wanted to have what?two seats on the school board , in order to join WISE COUNTY ,right? I thought that was reasonable, there should have been something worked out. I was told that the school system in NORTON accounts for a large amount of the budget and that barring a large influx of kids=$$$$ that they would have no choice but to revisit the offer from WISE COUNTY in less than 5 years.I dont know how the kids at BURTON feel about things, all I know is that the kids deserve the best education that we can give them

Mitchell has been to VA TECH and DUKE in the last couple of days

Did Ball or the other wideout from RICHLANDS get any offers?Those kids could play ,just wondering?

SAFE PLACE.....HAHAHAHAHA,,I carry my safeplace with me, cant say the Gate City has ever treated me bad,love the school community and pride,the only thing that offended me was the statement "we need to get a job in BIG STONE GAP"., I am still called BULLDOG by my friends from SCOTT COUNTY S.O., come meet me on the visitors side at the GATE CITY/ UNION game , I will be talking to TERRY KILGORE,or JUDGE KILGORE or YOUR AD all of which I consider close friends,and me being at a 10 ,come on man you have to be kidding ,its more like a.00005 , I wondered why my comments drew so much attention, but then i realized that there are no positives going on at GATE CITY FOOTBALL, or at UVAWISE/WISE CENTRAL

Union has no tradition?excuse me? playoffs every year, final four in 2015,all state players, four star national recruit,one of the best head coaches around,huummm? You are right ,no state ring,but its just a matter of time. Granted Gate City has won state 5 times since 1956, while Powell Valley won it 8 times, and Appalachia 6 times. Union girls made the finals in basketball and vollyball, while Gate CITY HAS WON BOTH SO MANY TIMES they should re-name the trophy "GATE CITY CUP".My comment "self sacrifice can only be understood by those by those who have served, does that make me better?no, but with a greater since of what it would be like not to have freedom and even the freedom of speech to say "big stone gap people need to get a job".There is no doubt that we all support and love our football programs,the text I shared was and still is a pun at the fact that Gate City takes all of the home side and half of what is normally considered the visitor side, and not the visitor section as one said.We love good teams at Union, lord knows we seen one at APPOMATTOX,we could learn alot at UNION and GATE CITY from them on how to host a game and how to treat the visitors. That community had lost a student in the early morning hours on game day, but they united and treated us like gold, they even honored our cheerleader who lost her mother in the next game. So yes , we all have a lot to learn about sportsmanship and what it is to be a great fan

spelling , your right, no job wrong, 30 years at being a cop, two of which i spent in WEBER CITY. 4YEARS as a MARINE ,served in BEIRUT with 2/6.DONT say thank you for your service because I dont need it, yes you pissed me off leatherhead larry,not because of the spell check but i guess thats all you know how to do ,because you have never done anything that would be qualified as important or knowing anything about self sacrafice, so go ahead a spell check me but dont assume that we dont work here in big stone gap sorry to big ugly vol because i didnt mean to include you

Shocker, Va Tech,Duke,Tennessee , South Carolina, Ga, wow no Clemson

i have never agreed with punishing kids the next year for crap the coaches pulled,the coaches being fired ,gate receipts for home games being forfeited and some kind of probation for the program.

7pm at UNION, GA and SOUTH CAROLINA making at late charge , two visits to each ,so it may be top 5

There have been so many great players from all over southwest va to play high school ball that were never recruited for college,I guess Thomas Jones opened the eyes of many, they all said he was too small too slow, only played at a small school, then came Heath MILLER,and BRADSHAW, ED CLARK was a man beast among boys.I remember watching him play in a old timers game, and to quote a player from that day "30 years later and he is still the best running back he has ever seen, and he hasnt lost a step"

Well said, I hope you like standing at Bullet

James narrows the field tommaro, my bet is Va Tech, Clemson, Tennessee ,and GA

Gate City-Union or PV/APPY,respect is always there but...GATE CITY has in the past ran the scores up when the game was waaaaay over and the fact that half of the visitor sideline has gate city sitting there dont help,YES I KNOW PHIL has been known to run up the score too, but we dont take up half of the visitors stands with our fans, but Ihave heard that UNION FANS and there band might pay GATE CITY back by taking over the visitor sideline

started the years of the cheating pats, snowplows,under inflated balls,fumbles by the pats given back, ect. ect ect.

thanks

I have no reason to disbelieve you, I was looking at the VHSL power points from last year and that the student numbers given.If its 741 ,they need to move down , by the way where did you get those numbers?that way I will better informed in the future

POQUOSON has like 1000 kids right?,at least that's the numbers VHSL lists,thats like 400 more kids than UNION and over 500 more than other AA schools,yep its fair , THEY ARE SOFT OUT THERE.tHEY SHOULD LET Abington go to AA TOO.They have to keep the eastern shore happy--

SO ITS A,B,C,D, again? or there other names?will they still cross bracket?

seemed like a good guy, football nut like the rest of us....kinda got me pumped up, I invited him to stand with me at BULLET PARK on RICLANDS side near end zone score board end. Kinda wish WARNER WOULD RUN FOR BIG OFFICE.RICHLANDS is a tough game every year, but there no way I would ever replace them on the UNION schedual....better than any playoff game I have ever seen,and I have seen all of PV state runs and UNIONS P[LAY OFF GAMES
