I saw the team picture from media day and almost fell over. I’m lookin forward to watchin this bunch.

Just judgin by the video from their midnight practice, it looked to me like their numbers have doubled from last year. Possibly more.

They stopped a playoff game at William Campbell when GC played there in '94 and the ref walked all the way over to the sideline and told our band to stop playing. That was the first and only time i had ever seen that happen.

lol....I check in from time to time. Had a rough couple of years but I'm gettin back in the swing of things.

Is he a holdback? Sorry, someone had to ask.

Just noticed my last post was #999. Might as well make another to even things out..lol

If the kids stick together coming up from middle school then they'll be back sooner than most expected. The current team plays their tails off and hopefully that will continue. I don't see us staying with Central very long though. Then again I thought the same thing when they played Abingdon until they ran out of gas.

GC 35-0 at the Half.

I'll never forget them showing up at GC one night 5 minutes before the game started. They got off the bus and walked straight to the sideline, proceeded to kick our hind ends, and walked back to the bus. I had nothing but respect for that bunch.

Stay home and watch Dobyns-Bennett and Greeneville online like I am...lol

I watched the GC/Union middle school game the other night (GC won 22-0) and was encouraged for the future. If I'm not mistaken, we have more on the middle school team than we do on varsity. Flag football had around 90 kids involved this year. So hopefully things will be rebounded soon. As for tonight, the kids will play their guts out. Hopefully both teams will stay healthy.

Proud of our kids. They played their guts out today. They're going to win some games.

If cowbells and air horns are an issue, they would've stroked out over the Cannonball back in the day.

I heard they had 90+ kids for flag football. Hopefully they'll move on to tackle next when they can and build this thing back up.

Heard Gate City picked up several more to put them around 36. Still not ideal but much better than 29.

Virginia High at Gate City Friday night at 7:00pm.

I wasn't able to go last night, but sounds like GC played Tennessee High pretty tough (heard it was 5-3 but not confirmed). I'm sure we'll find out more in the benefit game next week but that was at least encouraging.

Gate City. Sorry bout that.

I think GC is down to the 27-30 area.

I had it in April and wouldn't have known if I hadn't been tested. I had a low grade fever that hung around for 9-10 days and a slight headache for a couple of days. My better half caught it as well and had a rougher time than I did but fortunately we made it through. She never lost taste or smell, but I did for about a month or so. My breathing for a couple of months after was labored though. After a few days and nights with a nebulizer, I was back to normal. My buddy at work that I've lockered beside of and worked beside of for 11 years caught it the same time I did and he passed away the day that I came back to work. I get my 2nd shot this Friday and didn't hesitate.

They might've just wanted to add a little spice to their story. Not that they'd do that on Facebook....

I read on Facebook where a family was riding around on a golf cart in Cherry Grove and a car came by them and started egging them. They also had a 5 month old baby on board. When witnesses tried to chase the car down, they allegedly pulled an AR-15 on them. I'll stick to Surfside for now. Speaking of Surfside, swing by Bubba's Fish Shack and try the blackened Mahi. You're welcome in advance.

We were walking out and some of their folks were standing along the fence and one said "if we had played the entire game like the 4th quarter we would've killed them". For those that remember OleTob, he had no filter or the strength to remain silent. So he said "yeah it's possible if we had played our 2nd and 3rd string all 4 quarters except for the 4th". One of them pulled it out of his coat as we were walking away but apparently he noticed the Scott County deputies at the end of the fence. Probably didn't help when my brother asked them "who do y'all play next week?". Good times.

Magna Vista came to GC expecting to win and got smacked in the mouth also. First and only time in my life I've had a knife pulled on me trying to walk out of our own stadium. Bassett had no business being on the field that night. They were horrible. There was no way (without collusion) that Bassett could ever beat Magna Vista.

Oh I thought he was referring to the DB crowd. Come visit my building sometime...lol
