Union is just tough. I expect Gate City will come to “Mitchell” to play hard too unless they show up at Ernie Hicks and no one is there. 😂😂😂 Well we know where GC PA guy will be sitting in Richlands thinking he's early for game Gmen2021 and Ryan4VT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were worried about who was next, we wouldn't scrimmage folks like EC Glass. Three straight wins against Union. Should be 5 if not for a suspension.

Regardless of the outcome next week, they were as tough or tougher than Union. I still can’t explain it, but saw most of the second half with my own eyes.

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I wish this game was Friday night. I’m just a traditionalist. I know Graham’s coaches will have them prepared. They work hard in practice. They need to be super focused on the task at hand though. Gate City will come to play and they are well coached too. The GMen are getting better with penalities. I think the one personal foul Thursday was a late hit but we you’re barreling full speed, it’s sometimes hard to stop on a dime. At least we’re not getting huge penalty yardage like a few games this year. The defense is tough and offense has many options to get the other team guessing. The line play is strong on offense & defense although I think defense line play is better overall. I honestly didn’t see Graham making a deep run after the first couple games but they have evolved into a very tough opponent. I give the coaches a lot of credit for that and the players for working so hard. I think they win if they come in focused, limit turnovers, & limit unnecessary penalties. Go GMen!!!!

S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Gate City plays tough where it counts. They don' t have speed demons at all, but they're fast enough and disciplined as well. the great teams they've had in the past were never overly fast, but discipline much the same. They'll be trouble for Graham, but G-men don't rattle too easily. I hope it comes down to one single possession and just a great game. Good luck to both.

tornado99 345 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Graham should win. I’m pulling for them because of Tazewell County and Dennis Palmer, but it’s tough not to root for the underdog that’s been down so long. Football is much better when GC is good. I hope it’s a close game, but fear Graham has way too much talent. I’d like to see the G-men have a tight one to keep them humble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballFan77 66 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I think Graham has the advantage and hope they come focused. I saw some weakness in our defense this past week in the middle. We allowed way too many yards with up the middle runs that I haven’t seen in recent games. It was the most yards allowed on our starting defense all season. Can’t have that happen as we move further into playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Serious question, how did Gate City decide on Blue Devils as a mascot? Legion Field name? (Legion was a demon in the Bible, right?) Was there a cult of Satanist’s down that way back then? 😂 I truly am just curious. Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,871 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I know this is sort of a sidetrack to the upcoming game, but Graham looks like they will be in the mix for the next several years, if the coaching staff remains in place. They should be very good next season and they have some athletes coming up from middle school. With the strength and conditioning program turning out strong, well conditioned kids, they have that program set up for success for a while to come.

This year is the first I can ever remember that the varsity, JV, and middle school were all undefeated at the same time. There is 2001 type talent on the way in the middle school currently. And that's if there's not a single transfer. Graham will remain near the top for another 5 years at least.
