I'm going to be real. Tester is one of the best high school football coaches this side of the state.
That being said, I don't think Southern Gap will be very successful in football at the 2A level.
Most kids on the outskirts of Buchanan County will attend schools closer to home, i.e., Honaker, Ridgeview, River View, Phelps, East Ridge, and Richlands. At that point, you're essentially pulling from the Grundy group, which hasn't been successful at 1A in a few years, much less 2A.
Furthermore, Southern Gap won't be 2A for long, 1, 2 cycles at most.
Now, once they make it to 1A, I could see them becoming competitive.
