Yea, I'm sure every Union person would rather see a more competitive school, but... It offsets Science Hill They're more competitive than Thomas Walker I can get a Teddy's milkshake on the way there. 🙂 Hokie Bound and Real Sasquatch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think the class 2 teams should rotate and help the smaller schools out a bit. Twin Springs will be helped greatly by the Union fans traveling there.

Years ago, they were a powerhouse, but their enrollment has really dwindled. For a 1A equivalent program, they are competitive. However, it's the refs that GC will need to worry about. Do a search on this site for "Middlesboro", and you will see past conversations. The only time I've ever seen blatant, in your face, unapologetic cheating by refs was in 2013 when Union traveled there. It was unreal. When a DE walks up to a ref, AFTER the play has already been blown dead and markers moved, and proceeds to complain that he was held on the previous play, THEN the ref throws a flag and moves the chains back....I have no words.

Queue 20 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Well -- my anger at this Cheatersboro revelation not yet subsided, Imma ask a key question, if anyone here knows the answer to it: Is this mess the simple "fates of circumstance"...or did classic GC arrogance rear its ugly head again?? That is to say -- two years ago, when we plopped Radford down on the ol' sched....were we dealing with the same musical chairs problem where we just couldn't get options?? Or -- were we once again "just toughening the boys up" by scheduling way up the proverbial food chain?? In other (tl/dr) words: Did we have a much better choice two years ago, and just took them because we felt like a "challenge" -- leading directly to this hellscape of an outcome??

I was told that Radford was wanted, but wasn't told why. Don't know about Middlesboro. I will say that when Union played them, it was Middlesboro that initiated contact.

Hey don’t forget when we pinned them inside the 1 and they decide to call 3 yes 3 personal fouls on Union and give them the ball near midfield.

I remember. Turner said in the Post/Coalfield article that when he asked what the penalty was for and who it was against they wouldn't/couldn't tell him. It was bad!

It's the county school in that area that is the bigger program so to speak, Bell County. They haven't won very many titles, but they usually play pretty deep into the postseason yearly.

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 GC played a scrimmage at Letcher County one year and it was awful. I saw players from all teams hit 4-5 yards out of bounds and nothing was called. That was GC's last trip there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the issues their schools have scheduling games too. There’s hardly any teams around here that will schedule games over there, and there is the possibility of some good geographic rivalries.
