What is the best IFL game never played?

DB vs. Gate City (Virginia)  circa late 70's early 80's

 

Do any of you old-timers remember back in the 70's and early 80's about how much smack talk was going on about this game?       This was the most talked about game that was never played, for some reason the two schools just never scheduled each other.    Even the Kingsport Times stirred it up occasionally.    A lot of this was between Eastman employees who lived in both cities and I guess had kids in both schools (I had a friend at Eastman at the time who relayed this info....).   You would hear things like:

 

GATE CITY:   The mighty DB is afraid to step over the line, yeah that's right, afraid...

 

DB:  Kingsport residents, please remember to flush your toilets, Gate City needs the water...

 

At that time DB was stomping the stuffing out of all the other Tri-cities teams and Gate City had some pretty stout teams as well.

 

I submit to you that this is the greatest IFL game never played.

    • One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State. 
    • It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014. 
    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
    • You really mean the Price twin boys and Lyin Larry.
    • Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
