Watching GC in the first half at Battle… there is no way you could have convinced the casual observer that GC was an 0-8 team… but by the end of the 3rd qtr., they were pretty beat up... don’t know if they will be healed up enough to play Friday night or not… If they can heal up and hair over some this week, GC could very well dominate the first half against Central… after that.. who knows… Central is beat up too...
I predict Gate City will win ANOTHER 5 State Championships before Battle wins ONE...
I don’t foresee Battle ever winning a state championship in football… LOL…
But as for GC, I wish em well…
Question: Do any of the bold predictors care to say when GC is going to start this amazing 5 state Championship run ??? took em a span of 40 years to win the first five…
Last meeting: Gate City 16, John Battle 13 (Oct. 21, 2016 in Gate City, Va.)
The news is all grim for Gate City. The Blue Devils own the longest losing streak in Southwest Virginia at nine games and have been outscored by an average of 38-7. To pull off an upset, GC sophomore quarterback Jon Sallee must post huge passing numbers. … John Battle is 2-35 all-time against Gate City, but there will be a celebration tonight on Battle Hill. Look for another huge performance from fearless John Battle quarterback Lane Scarbrough as the Trojans top the 34-point mark for the fifth time this season.
My prediction for this Friday night’s game, JSB vs GC:
Home side will be packed. Visitor side, not so much… There will be a Student lead prayer before the game. People will stand as Battle’s band plays the National Anthem… There will be Jalapeño peppers available for your hotdog in the concession stand… If a GC player is injured, ALL Battle players will take a knee... after the game, GC fans will blame the coach.

That’s the most points Union gave up all season… BUT, it was also Union’s highest score all year…
