Interesting that the top 5 are the same top 5 teams at the beginning of the season - just in a different order right now

its going to be tough to beat GC, their offense is pure, the top 3 can score, your not going to stop mcclung, so the only defense you can do is to try and contain ervin and dean, hold them down and let mcclung wear himself down or into foul trouble and make sure you box out and limit them to one shot if they miss, and your offense better be able to put up 80, the biggest weakness i see is GC's defense, they put on energy toward D, they know they can outscore everybody so any team that can play with them has to put the pressure on them to play D

I agree - but remember how many Mac scored against Dan River, and they still lost the game.

yeah but that was last year and this year ervin and dean are a lot better and they can score anytime they want,

 

[pizzzzza]

I can appreciate your enthusiasm.

I think everyone on here agree's it's Gate City's year and it's theirs to lose.

That's how I've felt from day 1.

But you still have to play the game on the court.......

Ha that's a TERRIBLE list lol. Union at 5? No way. Richlands and Lebanon ahead of Wise Central? Nope. Martinsville, DR and RE Lee beat Union by 20+ points.

 

[DanvilleSportsHead]

Dan River would beat 3 of those teams ahead of them by 15+.

 

[toughy299]

Well I'm glad you are convinced because a lot of people in Radford will disagree with you and I was in attendance at Pulaski vs Gate City. Radford has 4 players that put up double digits in any game. Radford also a coaching advantage. Please keep buying into it. A 3peat is coming to Radford.

No faith in the Highlanders or the G-Men?

 

[hrsepasture1]

Dan River is pretty good

Graham, Grayson and Union. I don’t believe either of the 3 could beat Dan River. Graham would have the best shot to beat the RiverRats. I also believe Dan River is a top 3 team and could beat Gate City and Radford in the West. People sleep on Murphy. Probably one of the best coaches west of Richmond.

I just realized I typed highlanders instead of bobcats and nobody corrected me

I thought you were referring to Glenvar. You’re good brother!

 

[Mayberryite]

Just my opinion, but the Cats wouldn't beat Graham by 15+ if the game is played anywhere outside of Ringgold.

I'd have to agree.
