WWE? What?

It may have just been a miscommunication. I know Union’s band director and have for many years. She would not intentionally disrespect another team and has wished me luck on seeking a special education degree. If she disrespected Richlands then it was not intentional. Richlands could have handled the situation a lot better than they did.

I saw the video. Perhaps Union should have waited. I do think Richlands could have handled it better. There was no need in running THROUGH the band. It was an unfortunate incident. I don’t think any malice was intended. We can move forward.

I predicted that the game would likely be decided by a late mistake. That sounds like it was the case.

28-21 with the winner being a toss up. It will come down to a late game mistake.

Virginia High is sounding impressive.

Union 14-0.

Union struggling.

Union making some mental errors. Scoreless.

Union goes for it on 4th down but it didn't work.

Burton to punt after a 3 and out. Bears take over at own 45.

Burton ball on own 20.

I can see why Chilhowie was ranked first. Last season they made it the farthest and return a lot. Would Ridgeview and Union beat Chilhowie? Probably. Relax. It’s only preseason. There will certainly be some changes to the top 5 as the season progresses.

Union 44, Burton 7. Burton is outmanned and outmatched. Burton score will come against Union reserves during garbage time.

I saw her working at Belk in Wise when I still lived in the area. She was as nice and polite as she was when her boys played in high school. In reference to an earlier comment somebody made, I did hear that kids at Witten’s camp did enjoy it more than Jones’ but Witten may have just had a better camp. What’s that person’s point. I did find his tweet about BSG arrogant but he apologized for it. He is a pretty good guy from the interactions I have had with him. I don’t recall him saying he came from nothing. I think it is ridiculous that people are saying these crazy things about him.

Richlands 43, GC 0

Tennessee High by as much as they want.

Welcome aboard.

Will Gate City be out of their funk in the foreseeable future?

Fan experience at games is one component. If you like hearing Rocky Top then welcome aboard. Another is colors. Tradition is another. A team’s schematics can be a component. Many—not all—people are drawn by geographic location. Others are drawn to a team for success. Do not choose a team solely for that team’s success because you will eventually be let down hard.

No offense GC fans but I don’t think Reed alone is the answer to the question. It will take a lot of changes. It is a process.

Who are the dark horses in the region?

Ridgeview should be the favorite to finish first in the M7.

I imagine Union has the same schedule. Just flipped from home to away and vice versa.

Terrible.
