Coeburn played hard and played hard the whole game, have to give it up to them. They in my opinion shouldn't finish at the bottom of the LPD as some have forecasted. The Bright kid is a hoss, no doubt. He'll cause opponents problems this year barring injury, which I hope that won't be the case. He like the other kids on Coeburn's team have a lot of heart. Some of us were talking during the game that if Coeburn doesn't lose a lot to graduation, they'll win the Cumberland next year from what we could see. That's just our opinions, please no one think we were wanting in written in stone.
Gate City still has quite a long way to go, but they have the kids that can make it happen - it's all up to them. I personally don't think that Coeburn could have pulled out the win, but was impressed with their performance as mentioned above. The only effective offensive attack they had was Bright between the tackles. The QB couldn't get off a pass and lived a rough life in the pocket, especially in the second half. The sweeps around the end worked okay for the first couple of series, but seems as if GC's defense adjusted accordingly. Coeburn's defense seemed like it was keying on Parks the whole night, which in turn allowed GC's QB to run more freely. Even the FB was picking up 4-8 yards a pop due to the obvious focus on Parks. I do know that GC does have a pretty decent passing attack, which they didn't use hardly at all. In my opinion, if it had been a closer game we'd seen that passing attack more than what we did.

All in all, I believe Coeburn has a great opportunity to post their best record since 2001 & possibly defeat some LPD opponents that they normally don't.

Just my personal opinions, don't crucify me for it.
