I expect the best years of Gordy matchups are ahead of us, which may be hard to believe. 

You may be right.

We play quite a bit more younger kids than I expected we would coming into this season, especially since we only lost 3 starters on each side of the ball.

They have gained quite a bit of experience that will only help in the coming years, so, hopefully we won't have the dropoff we did in 2013 after losing a comparable number of seniors.

Man I haven’t thought about it but it seems like even the season has a 2006 feel sort of. Team just isn’t quiet there and then next year they explode. If I’m not mistaking I think we are playing a few freshman on offense and defensive lines at times. Glad to see #3 healthy (another freshman)

The 2006 team never got over that game with Temple when Temple showed up with all those ringers from the previous year.  They were plenty good enough to have gone deep.  I don't think anyone is in this teams head.

The 2006 team had the athletes and they showed it the next year. FWIW, that Gville team was good enough to go deep as they lost in the second by one point to Friendship who ended as the runner up. So, there was no shame in losing to that Gville team.

You forget we played Murphy this year.  I don’t think Gordy is anymore physical than them in my opinion 

No, I remember. That was a Lee Corso College Ganeday reference. However, the concern for me is SP hasn’t been challenged in a long time up front. They for sure will be on Friday…and obviously that’s not our strength. If the Pirates win, it’s bc of offense. I think it takes 35 to win

I wasn't trying to imply that Gordy wasn't good that year.  However, we got shelled at home in the 1st round in one of the worst playoff losses SP ever had.   FC shelled Temple following the game with you guys.

It might, and might not. We increased by 50 students in 2 years, and we'll have a similar number in 2 years, but it's likely to drop a little in the classification after.

Croz I see Gordonsville in a 2A region with Carthage, Trousdale, Cannon and Jackson and maybe  Westmoreland. If Westmoreland stays in a west region you could take either Monterey or York.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
