After Gate City playing last years schedule the way they did I can see us being 9-1 again.
I wish I could say 10-0 but Richlands returns so much talent, but who knows we play worlds better at home and we won a war at Richlands last year. It's a tough schedule but we return 3 all state players who all play both ways. Numerous starters return we replace 4 players, 2 on D line and 2 on the O line, and they are both patched up with out missing a step.

Changes on offense are inevitable(SP) with the moving of Dusty Clark to RB and Nick Bowen to QB or the two spliting time with Dusty (the 2nd team all state saftey) playing diff skill positions on offense. The backfield is a classic Gate City stacked, with Joeseph Vaungh (2nd team all state RB) at FB, Seth Clark (2nd Team all state LB) at FB and Dusty at RB I don't see anyone stoping that running game. Then we you account for the line that was steller last year, returns 4 players with significant playing time last year and fills the center spot left by senior aaron stokes with Aaron Reed (coach reeds son) who is a great freshman and should compete right away.

Anyone care to critic GC this year?? It's a rough schedule and the season could back fire in a hurry exp. leb@wise.
