LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 It is really folks just looking for a reason to whine about something when their team gets beat. GC practices on their field and the middle school/little league/ everyone else use it all year for their games. The big problem is the weather (except the last couple of years) John Handley started it when the preppies came down for the '94 state championship game with their (prolific?) passing game and the field was in horrible shape. Now, stupid me i thought the 8 straight days of rain was the culprit that year. NOPE! wrong yet again! It was the coaches! they found time that week to water the field all night long each night (in the midst of pouring rain)because we had nothing else to do. The final score of the game was 12-7 John Handley and GC was on the 1yd line when time ran out (coincidentally the time was being kept on field)and they won. Oh well i thought it was a pretty good game. NOPE! i was wrong again, all the whining started, because everyone knows they would have beaten GC by 50 points if the field was dry. (they were the only team in the state to have turf on their home field at the time) Probably the first and last time a lot of them ever got dirt on themselves. They pay people to get dirty for them up there. Now in 1996 we played Brookville at the Bee's home stadium in a true quagmire the temp was mid 20's and it had rained for 3 days (assuming they didn't water the field) it was a very nasty day, and It came down to both teams scoring twice and Brookville managed to make a pat and GC couldn't, i personally thought GC was the far better team, and the mud hurt us. Was that Brookville's fault? of course not, that's weather. Soo combine the JH game and several bad weather games, 97 semi with Jefferson Forrest that GC won at home in a squeaker that started the (IN)famous Legend of watering the field at GC. GC has had to play in very bad weather at Rustburg and Brookville, not to mention the 3-2 snow bowl at Radford. I guess that's just mother nature unless you happen to have to play at GC in bad weather, then it has to be cheating. So that's it from a GC perspective. Since we all live up here in the coalfields as the Roanoke folks say we are all lumped together as cheater or something because everyone knows no one down here could ever have the better team, we have to cheat to win!

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Bluefield cheated because they had better players! That's is just unfair. When it's that unbalanced in talent, the Beavers should have "loaned" the opposing team some of their players to keep them from crying all the way through Sunday!

Tid_Bit 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I can remember both Martinsville and especially Nottoway crying about the field at TAZEWELL being watered down in 86 playoffs. I say if you are going to play in swva in november and december....better be prepared for a wet field. That is just the way mother natured intended our end of the state to be at this time of year. I guess the whining worked though, cause now the state championship games have been taken from the home team and moved ot a central location where the rain wont be a factor(artificial surfaces.) In short...yeah those people who claim that rain is the cause of their loss are crybabies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
