It seems like ever since Union played Richlands so closely, they've developed a big-headed following and thought for sure nobody else would be able to play with them. I think playing so closely with Richlands was one of the worst things that could have happened to them. They're in a bad situation right now, for sure, and really need to show up and play hard next week to get past Burton. I expect a massive crowd at Bullitt Park and if the Raiders do topple the Bears, it's going to be absolutely phenomenal. Who would have ever thought before the season began that the super-hyped Union Bears would end up being ranked last in the LPD even behind Central? This has been one crazy back-and-forth season. The Cumberland is just a big mess, too, and I have no idea what's going to happen in the Clinch Mountain District with Lee High still showing that they're a dangerous team by clobbering John Battle tonight. I still think Lee will give Gate City a pretty good game. I'm just not sure what to think anymore.
EDIT: Union plays Gate City at Bullitt Park next week, not J.I. Burton.
