Which of the three area teams, Clintwood, Gate City, or Richlands has the best chance to bring home the State Championship? Someone should set up a poll. To my way of thinking, Clintwood has the best chance followed by Richlands and Gate City respectively.
I would love to see all three win. I think Clintwood has the best shot.

I'd think Richlands has the best shot

I'm certainly not saying Gate City will win, but I don't count them out either. I remember GC's 5-5 regular season team from 1994 who made it all the way to the state final to play the "unstoppable" John Handley Judges--who were then said to be next to NFL quality, and Gate City nearly won that game. They did lose (12-7), but they played hard and gave Handley all they could stand. Then Gate City's 5-5 record was deceptive because they played a tough schedule (Graham, PV, Appy, etc...), and it served them well. Likewise, I think GC's tough schedule and playing the likes of Richlands, Powell Valley, Leb, and now George Wythe, certainly helps them. GC may go down, but then again they may not. I've seen the Devils win too many times when they were counted out, so I believe in them. Win or lose, they've done a great job representing the school and Southwest Virginia this year. Hats off to them!
You wanted the best, you got the best...
Valid point triodevil.
I picked Richlands first because they have been there, which can't be underestimated. I'd probably pick Clintwood second but only because all year I've heard how Gretna was unstoppable. I'm probably falling victim to the hype. Gate City's coaches have been there before as well, so that definitely helps them. It's probably more of 1)Richlands 2a)Clintwood 2b)Gate City

I'm not sure what kind of team Richlands is facing, but given that they won it last year, I'd put them at one. I put Clintwood at two by default because GC has got what might be the best team in the state next week in any classification. I hope the Devils win and I'll be pulling like hell for them, but they're gonna have their hands full.

Gretna did not play a AAA North Carolina school. They played a 4AA North Carolina school. The school was Davie County high school, with an enrollment of just under 1900 students in four grades. The reason I know this is because I was there.
I now live in Davie county and a buch of co-workers (all Davie natives) and myself met at the game. I guess they thought since this was a small single A school from Virginia then it was a sure win for them. They tried to give me a hard time during the game but I got to walk out the gate afterwards with a big smile on my face.
1. Clintwood
2. Richlands
3. Gate City
4. Tiny Tim's mighty Detroit Lions
I for one am not counting GC out. These kids have beaten the odds every week. I remember all the talk about how it was between PV and Leb. Then there was no way GC could beat PV. Then GW. If you have Tyler Parks on your side you have a chance.
This kid has the biggest heart of any kid I have ever seen play at GC. He deserves a ring. I hope he gets his Saturday.
