Chris Kelly is welcome in GC; come be a Blue Devil.

@GMan should lock this thread now. The man in question is a fan. This is not a forum to discuss individuals - save that shit for topix or whatever.

Mr. Kelly has an intellectual disability. One of the most passionate fans in the state.

1996 Gate City team had 4 D1s & 1 D1AA (Beasley, Shoemaker, Houseright, Wolfe, & Smith), + a bunch of NAIA - DII guys.

We know all about facilities management at GC. You should see our Sports Complex; you’d think it had never been used.

I got $5 on some 83-92 era Colobro Blue throwbacks for GC.

I wasn’t aware of those incidents. Brings up a separate set of questions. I’ll save board space for folks that know more about it.

How about we not presuppose the man is guilty, especially in light of the fact that he was investigated by multiple agencies & found not guilty? No one is pro-sexual harassment but a three year old settled complaint is an altogether different animal.

You & me both, buddy.

If I was a high school teacher I wouldn’t even speak to a female student unless it was 1. Specifically about academics or 2. There was 50 witnesses around. Too much liability. This #metoo shit’s done got out of hand.

Wish I could like this multiple times...

I’d love to see Norton hire Gerald Sensabaugh, only to see him immediately turn into an insufferable pain in their collective ass. That would be must-see tv.

Responding to the trolls only encourages them.

2002 GC @ George Wythe final play of regulation, PAT Colobro ices his own kicker, Garder misses the kick, we squandered one of the best state title - level teams in school history.

Powell Valley @ GC, 1965 PV runs ‘886 Blue Cadillac’ & scores on GC.

Mullins is the last LPD coach standing.

I’m calling it a win since it’s the only prediction I’ve made that came anywhere close to being right. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Called it!

Those 2 blown calls must have been TDs; Battle got shut out.

You’re right; why would anyone leave a program that is guaranteed to be undefeated in 2020? 😂

It’s not perceived; anyone can look at it on the respective sites. I know Sullivan County has far better health insurance - I guess that is what cost us Robbie Norris in 2016. Good point about taxes, though.

North is closing. Coach Patrick might be a HC in 2020, but it won’t be his current post. Additionally, Scott County Schools’ compensation is quite a bit higher than Sullivan County’s. You guys shouldn’t spend so much time being upset over GC; we don’t think of you at all.

Coaches would be fools not to recruit, especially for schools near state boarders (Bluefield, Bristol, etc.). Houseright should have hired super popular middle school coaches from Bloomingdale & Church Hill to siphon away players. Would have loved it if Houseright added Preston Patrick to the staff. Good on coaches & players for taking ownership of the process, as opposed to “I played at Po-Dunk High because that’s where my mom could afford rent”.
