To put it into perspective for me, when Gate City went up 42-7 very late in the third quarter - if Mountain hadn't returned the following kickoff all the way back then the game would have had a continual running clock per VHSL rules. That in itself tells me that it was a game dominated by one team. Sorry to hurt any feelings, but that's how I seen it as well as some out of town friends of mine that were at the game as well.
Thats the way I see it also. 42 to 7 then Mountain ran back a couple of TDs on Speacial teams and the Bulldogs scored one more on the GC 2nd string defense. GCs starting defense had a total of 7 points scored on them by Tazewell. GCs punt team gave up a TD and their Kick team gave up a TD. GCs second team D gave up one TD. I saw the game film and if anyone even remotely thinks Tazewell was ever in this game they are crazy. Mountain is a helluva Speacial teams player and will score a lot more this year on Speacial teams. I did see 31 for GC play some with the second team O behind a Freshman QB. The score ended up a lot closer than the game was but it is all part of football even if the losing teams Coach did not know when to pull his starters after GC pulled theirs. I cant see why the GC people would get mad concidering the only people that say it wasnt a blowout are a small few Tazewell fans and a pot stirring Grundy exfan(If he were a fan he would be watching them instead of trying to keep things stirred up between GC and Tazewell fans) that I am convinced is Chubz from the LPD board. Anyrate this is my only post on this subject. Time to start talking football instead of dwelling on the past. Good luck Tazewell I hope you guys finish strong and Good luck Gate City hope you folks go far this year.
