In response to GC Fans and how they stink.........

It is one thing to pick out Gate City fans as a whole.. It's a completely different thing to make fun of someone that is mentally handicapped! It only shows the LOW CLASS that Gate City is! This is not a comment about your football team, fans etc... This is a comment about you!

If you want to talk about football you have to talk about this... Powell Valley 8 State Titles... Gate City only 1 after asking the VHSL to let them step down due to being uncompetive in their classification. And just for the record, the last time the vikings were at the "scary Legion Field" they had put up 47 points on the blue devils and sent them to basketball season after the first week of playoffs!

i talk to people from big stone who regularly make fun of the guy

Anyone, and I mean anyone that makes fun of a handicapped person has no morals at all. Come on down to a ballgame and make fun of him, see if you dont get put straight in a hurry! Football is a sport, and here we are talking about high school football, kids, and people need to get a life when all they have to talk about is making fun of a handicap person! This forum is spiraling downward and needs to be cleaned up.

im not advocating makin fun of the guy...but to say gate city is classless because of ______ , and then the very team you support has fans that do the same thing isn't a very good argument

I agree with all but the part of GC asking to drop part. GC petitioned the VHSL for years to stay in AA but finally chose to drop to A.

Truth be known GC and PV will both suck for many years to come.

While the comments above are indeed uncalled for, this

is about as far fetched as anything I've heard. If you'll recall GC has the highest win percentage of any school in VA any classification while playing AA for over 30 years and won 3 AA titles. So to even suggest GC couldn't compete at the AA level is laughable. One of the main reasons that GC came to A is the travel was killing them and not fear of the competition. Much better to travel to Haysi for Regional play than Martinsville.

GC being uncompetitive in AA is just plain funny and ignorant

**LoneCrusader** · September 20th, 2006, 03:33 AM

Right on! And how dare anyone at PV down GC for anything.. when PV has always had more students than GC and they refused to play up to AA years ago when GC did.

All those titles PV has have come at the expense of schools usually much smaller than they are.. if PV had been playing AA and schools their own size like GC was, then they wouldnt have so much to brag about, would they?

Here is obviously a case of you not know what you are talking about, Not only did we (Powell Valley) play teams our size or bigger in state 93-98 we played Gate City also and for the record beat them each of those years... Including 94-95 and 97-98 when we went 14-0 each of those seasons!
