dshreeves 37 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 There hasn't been much talk about this game here this week. Why so quiet? Does anyone give Gate City much of a chance in this one? I think they will compete with Gretna better this year than they did in 2007 when they lost 52-0. Good luck Blue Devils. Here's hoping you guys bring back another State Championship for yourselves and for the area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo777 10 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I really don't know anything about Gretna this year but they have had some great teams the last few years. (Really fast and explosive) I am sure they are very good this year as well. I know gate City is very physical and if they can use that to generate some turnovers they can even out the speed issue. Gate City must be able to run the ball and control the clock to keep the Gretna team off the field as much as possible. I know Gate City has several seniors and sometimes they can impose thier will more than underclassmen can. I pick Gate City in a close game to pull this one off and bring back some hardware to SWVA.

Jason 299 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Gretna has been going through a great run of athletes this past decade and it dont look to end anytime soon. Their coach knows the schools in our area very well. He was the coach at Kelly before being run off (I think is what happened) then he coached Shelby Valley KY improving that team while he was there. He is a good coach and is in a coach's dream situation with the talent at Gretna. They did lose one game this year which was their season opener to Liberty Christian a private school by the score 31 to 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Kevin Saunders is the Head Coach at Gretna. His brother is the Head Coach at Radford. So I am sure they have game tape. Ain't hard to know what GC wants to do. RUN THEM OVER. They know it is coming and can not stop it. Gate City needs to smash the Hawks with the great running backs they have. Be great to have 2 State Champs in this area. Go Blues. Go Devils. And I will even pull for East. Mont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The key to GC winning this game is to contain #10. They run somewhat of a wildcat formation with him and he just picks a hole and takes off. Against King William, I believe he accounted for all of Gretna's points and had 3 picks on defense. After watching Gretna play, I honestly believe GC can win this game. King William jumped on Gretna early, had a chance to go up 21-0, but KW threw a pick in the endzone, changed all the momentum KW had in the game.

I havent saw any tape of them whatsoever. I just expect a fast team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him from the game in 2007 when he was a freshman. I don't remember him being much of a passing threat at that time but his running ability was impressive. I really hope GC can win this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Over on VAPreps the Gretna fans for the most part are saying that this game will be no different than the 07 game. GC has not a snowballs chance in hades. What I gather is they are trying to intimidate Gate City in hopes to derail them. What they dont realize is those kids at GC have been wanting another shot at the Hawks since their Freshman year. They will not be intimidated. They might not get it but they really want it!

LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 or Gretna hawks football. Nick Miller is back as a senior, he has about 1900yds rushing. They have a really nice looking lineman #77 that they try to sneak Miller behind. The defense is no where as good as the 07 version. if you recall they blew everyone away that year not just GC.

kentucky 10 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hope both teams play well without injuries. However, K. Saunders is a pretty good coach and he has some athletes. I believe Gretna will take this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
