2012ish? to Jake Barnett

2017 to James

2023 to Huff.

3 slant routes in 12 years, not bad. 

 

Well that’s 2 more than I thought really looking forward to 2027 for number 4

Wasn't the one to James vs Appomattox in 2017???

Yeah he scored on one in that game IIRC. 
 

But the focus this week has to be containing the QB on defense and not turning it over on offense. Union should have the advantage in the skill positions and with a good performance at the LOS, GC gonna have their hands full. But if Bears come out slow and think they’ll just show up and win, it’ll be a repeat of last year. GC is too good to take lightly, too well coached. That staff has got them going the right way for sure, very well coached preparation wise as well as in game.

Absolutely. I feel like In the first game last year, we thought we’d show up with the “U” and win. I didn’t feel that in 2nd game but GC just wore us out.

Agreed fully. GC caught Union somewhat flat footed during the regular season matchup in GC but just outplayed them in both meetings. They played very sound fundamental football and capitalized on their opportunities while Union squander theirs and turned the ball over. 
 

Union may have more talent on paper but that doesn’t mean anything when the whistle blows. They can’t afford to rest on their laurels, the M7 race hasn’t really even started and goal number one is winning the M7. Do that then maybe some other goals start making the list.

In games last season the Blue Devils finished strong. I give the coaches credit for preparing their team for four quarters.  Younger players tend to wear out sooner and the Bears were young last campaign; seemed real tuckered out in the last minutes of both contests with Gate City. I do think that could be a factor again this year in some Union matchups - including this week's game. As example, for anyone who saw the Science Hill game, It really looked like the Bears could match their speed but the Hill Toppers did eventually wear down Union.

I don't think Gate City depth, or anyone else in the region, compares to that of Science Hill.  The best 11 for both will be playing during crunch time, early or late. Watched both of last year's games just trying to compare who's back for each team from last season.  I think it'll be the better of QB head to head battles in the M7.  These 2 mirror each other a lot.  It'll be a tough contest none-the-less.  Good luck to both, WCYB televised right?

Yes. 7:30 on the CW I believe.

They usually stream live on Facebook and then archive on YouTube after a day or two.

Now, you can add this to your multiple monitors and satellite truck. Haha

WCYB does a fantastic job!
