we got beat by a very good team and we've got to move on (if they were missing some players i don't want to see them when their healthy!!) last year we performed very well in week 2 and i expect to see the same this year.... i have to say that i thought anderson played extremely well considering the pressure he was under and the beating he took...he took some heavy shots and just kept getting up......he is going to be a good one.....richlands keyed on tyler and i hope he is going to be healthy.....i've already asked this question once but does anyone know if he was re-injured last night....he came out and i noticed they were working on him..

Well we all expected what happened to happen. I was very pleased with the effort. Even though some thought we were sending up smoke screens. Those sophomores will grow up soon enough. I'd rather take a beating by a very good team than play a cupcake. They'll never get better that way. We'll be fine. You're right about Tihlee. I think he'll be a very good QB and I think our offense will be very good. Thankfully we won't run into too many offenses like we saw last night. You can't hang your head. They played and played hard. That's all that can be asked of them.

Someone needs to tell that moron Bob Radford from Channel 5 how to pronounce Tihlee's name. He called him Tilly last night. I hate that idiot.

I have no idea how he got that job. I know alot of people around Bristol that know him and they can't believe that's his occupation....lol

Well now that Gate City has been humbled by Richlands, perhaps the primping, strutting, and trash talking will subside? Yeah right! LOL

It seems the only people on this forum who have predicted Gate City to do poorly in the LPD are ironically people who at least claim to be from Gate City. Go figure! I think most of the LPD has a healthy respect for the Gate City.

Gate City - PV has traditionally been the LPD game of the year, and I wouldn't expect this year to be any different. But, I wouldn't put a "W" in the column just yet.

yeah thats true. gate city has some caughting up to do right now. pv is 1-0 while gc is 0-1. i will say this though, pratice for the devils this week is gonna be rough but it will only make them better. what do you all think hurt gc last night?

**R0cketer** · August 26th, 2006, 02:35 PM

Richlands!

In all truth, if GC is playing a lot of young people, just experience.

Its not like you can really count a game against Richlands as a true testament just as truthfully, a lot of times some of the other schools can't count how they do against Gate City as an accurate assessment.

Sometimes a team is just better.

**Beavs24** · August 26th, 2006, 02:39 PM

yeah thats true alot of new people filling in for the seniors that graduated. gc did throw the ball alot more than they did last year, though. what did you all think of that?

**imported_GC_Quincy** · August 26th, 2006, 05:47 PM

That's simple. It's difficult to throw 7 or 8 sophomores out there and ask them to defend an offense like that. We weren't downing the kids by saying we expected to get beat, but I wasn't gonna get on here and make promises that couldn't be kept. They've got enough pressure on them. They'll be alright. It's no different than last year. There are 10 games in a season, not just one. They'll only get better.
