The South--Gate City game is the most crowded football game I've seen since I was a kid and went to some of the big games in the 90s. When they said they expected several thousand, they weren't kidding around. I had to take a spot at the fence so I didn't get any game footage (not that it would be worth much, considering Gate City got slapped around a good deal), but I did get a few snapshots of the massive crowd. The fence was covered all the way around, 2+ people deep in most spots. Oh, and did I mention it was louder than all hell? One of the best atmospheres in recent memory, even if it was never really a close ball game. Gate City just isn't in the same league as South.
It was closest at 21-7 and Gate City was beginning to get it together, but South quickly followed up with a long drive followed by a field goal, making it 24-7. From that point on, it was an ass-whipping. I don't know how anyone could argue against that. I think Gate City is the top dog in this area (especially after seeing the Tazewell--Lebanon final), but they would never be able to compete with a team like Sullivan South and come out on top. At least not this year.
