Round 2: Oneida @ GCA

Recommended Posts

Off topic, but I wanted to share something with you guys. 43 years ago, the entire Marshall University football team and most of their coaching staff died in a plane crash. Most of us have seen the movie, We Are Marshall, or heard about it through the years. Today, I had the opportunity to attend the Memorial Ceremony that has taken place EVERY year on the day of the crash. It was an amazing site to see siblings and parents of the players, and sons and daughters of the coaching staff and administration at the ceremony today. I have a lot of respect for Marshall after all that they went through. "From the Ashes We Rose" Just a very neat experience that they continue to observe every year on the anniversary of a tragic event in the schools history. Very impressed that they keep the memory alive when we seem to push tradition aside these days.

    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
