[GC_Quincy 582]

I watched 30-35 kids from Gretna last year that I would've bet the farm on. Heck I would've escorted them to Kingsport myself..lol

Gate City beat TN High in the Stone Castle. Those were the Jake Housewright years.

 

Noticed VT offered Jonas Houseright (Gate City) a scholly this year (was a walk-on). Is he any relations to the above?

i think SWVAs elite teams could compete but year in year out no

simply a different brand of football

[LegendatLegion 109]

Oh it definately is, which is why i say what i say. Go to a game nobody hits much. Now your average SWVA team (small team) probably couldnt beat anyone in Tn because of the size differential. A lot of those teams don't beat anyone over here either.

 

You say the elite teams, well thats what we're talking about. DB is THE elite team in NETN year in and out. They go 10-0 or 11-0 and they get beat by the 3rd best team in the Knoxville area year in and year out. Want to know when somebody is really good from NETN? When they get to the state semi-finals.That means they have beaten a good team. Even Morristown west who is the team that annually keeps TN High and South from getting out of this area can't beat Maryville.

 

I wouldn't be stupid enough to say GC or anyone else could dominate DB year-in-and out but they wouldn't win 8 out of 10 either. I personally think it would be very competitive most of the time.

GC has tried to setup a series with DB in the past, but its sortof like the Va Tech vs UT Vol scenario. DB would have everything to lose. We've played them in other sports in recent years and have won most. Most local fans would love to see this matchup in football. We used to start of every year playing Tenn. High but when they got a new coach, he said he didn't won't to start of the year with a loss. Now they have DB first so not much has changed there.

[devilsfork 19]

As for DB's band, they are second to none. Phenominal with the amount of kids they have involved in a high school band. The volume alone will get your attention.

do anybody think any of the powerhouse teams from swva can handle Maryville Rebels from Maryville TN they had won like the last 7 out of 9 Class 4-A state championships

[Lone_Eagle 10]

Graham Clark also coached at Powell Valley in the late 70s under Cecil Maddox.

Maryville would be a lot tougher to handle than DB. Alcoa might be also.

I got to watch Gretna destroy Gate City in the state game last year. That Gretna team could beat DB. They beat GC by a score of 52 to 0 I believe. They did that with a 15 year old freshman QB. They should repeat this years as champs also.

Didnt their QB get hurt?

[billyblue 10]
