I hope that the players have their focus squarely on the target. I'll be getting up at about 530 in the morning, heading on the road about 6.

I probably won't sleep, haven't the last 2 weeks on Friday night, but if we play to our capability, then that is all we can do, and the chips will fall wherever they will.

Buffalo Gap is undefeated and while earlier you could mention their competition hadn't been great, they have beaten good teams the last couple weeks, so to me that is out the windows.

It's been very nice to hear the well wishes from almost everybody, from practically every team in the region. Bitter enemies have been strong supporters. That's what this all about.

Just to shock the world, I'll even be yelling for Gate City as long as I'm there. I hope thatthey can stun people by beating Gretna. To everybody, Gretna is Goliath. Last I remember, Goliath not only didn't cover the spread, he suffered the straight up upset.

So here it is, a little over 3 hours and it will be Saturday. Hopefully the local teams, Richlands, Gate City and of course Clintwood, can bring 3 state titles back to this area.

God bless the players, coaches, and even the officials [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

May everybody have a safe day and may our local teams have a great and perfect day. Hope everybody traveling tomorrow has a great and safe day, and that their trips home are filled with happiness.
