rsntu88 84 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 3 hours ago, jonah58 said: This is a game that Central cannot look past. It's hard to beat any Union/PV/Appy team twice in the same year. They are aware of this. I'm glad it's at home and not bullit park lol Fun fact: only two programs have ever beaten Powell Valley twice in one season. Those were Pennington in 1987. Also Gate City in 2003, 2008, and 2009. For Appalachia , the two programs to do it were Burton in 90, 05, and 06. Then Clintwood in 07. No team has ever beaten Union twice in same season. But unfortunately, that will probably happen. redtiger and Warriors_XO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Both teams have been susceptible to giving up the big play this season. Other than that, Central's defense has been very tough to score on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the other big plays? None vs Ridgeview. None vs Abingdon. Zero vs Gate City.... maybe I have missed some....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with this after watching some of Central’s games on NFHS. I look for a good game though. I still think Central wins and I predict 44 from Union gets ejected. Not sour grapes but that kid should have been ejected yesterday. He’s a loose cannon. He ripped a Graham player’s helmet off and then took a swing at the same kid later. He shouldn’t even by playing against Central IMO. Unchained and Mountain Football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kids are all playing in BIG STONE GAP, and lets face it , in many cases its closer to come to BIG STONE GAP than it is to PENNINGTON GAP, or in high school to BEN HUR.I think that these kids playing L.L in the GAP will be kids at UNION SOME DAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first school I remember was Gate City in the 1970s. I believe it was a steam engine train whistle either on a flatbed truck or trailer. GC dominated the 10 team SWD throughout the decade. The train horn was loud, intimidating, and menacing. You could also use those same adjectives to describe Blue Devil fans who circled Legion's track while taunting both the visiting team's bench and their fans.
