GC vs. South 2009-10

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: PioneerBlue</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I said this in another thread, but how do you lose a player the caliber of Curt Phillips and seemingly get better? They've blown out every opponent this year. </div></div>

The Davenport kid who is QB sat behind Phillips and could have started for most anyone around. Good arm and runs very well. Plus they returned a load of talent. But IMO one of the factors that has lead to the rise at South is Coaching Continuity. Before they had so much coaching turnover that they could never get their feet set. One group of seniors a while back had 3 different head coaches in their 4 years at South.

PV and Appy are staying on the schedule from what I've read. We're losing Burton and Clintwood.

who is the other that GC is picking up to go along with South?

Sullivan South was one of the better teams Maryville played last year. Maryville,Rhea County or Cleveland will probably be fighting for the right to go to Sullivan South for the semifinals. Sullivan South will drill MOWest,MOEast or Greeneville.

Graham, maybe???

I haven't heard. I would love having Graham back on the schedule though.

Instead of Graham, just go get Bluefield.

Alcoa is looking for 4 games.Lots of teams don't want to play Alcoa.Alcoa has built a monster there. Would Gate City be willing to go that far for a game?

I don't know but would be nice. Really going to Alcoa probably wouldn't be that much farther than going to Bluefield for a game.

Richlands, South, and Alcoa as non district games. Dang that'd be a killer schedule..lol. At one time I'm sure they would've. There was some talk years ago that they thought about Pittman (back when Pittman was a pretty good team). I'm anxious to see who else we added.
