All gilmer had to do was fall down and the game was over.

PG fans take notes how a real program handled a loss with CLASS! No excuses not blaming the officials. Good Luck Gilmer the rest of the way.

Does this mean you are going to apologize to coaches and players for all you crazy negative comments throughout the years?  You make Michael Myers proud I am sure.  lol

Frontrunner!

Already said I have been very critical of the defense and the coaching this year, and rightfully so, but they deserve credit for grinding away and getting better, although still nowhere as good as they should be. Maybe you should learn to read before running off at the mouth.

I didn’t think they had a prayer . Mostly everyone did , but I am so glad they did it. Gilmer fan by default I suppose.

Nope. Born, raised, and played for Gilmer. Been to hundreds of Gilmer games over the decades, I just call it like it is. The defense has allowed more points than any other defense in Gilmer's history as far as I know. They coaches have made some huge mistakes during the season, like getting out coached and schemed and almost beat by Sunnyvale, a team that should have been beaten by 3 or 4 TD's.

But, they do get some credit for continuing to work and adjust and they proved that they can scheme a good game against a great opponent. 

I gave them a 5% chance of winning Friday, and that was only if Carthage played terrible and Gilmer played lights-out and got some breaks. I was wrong and I'm glad I was.

You call it like you see it, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it is.

Well how did Chalk Talk end up today?  Any words of wisdom from Coach Surratt?

I went for the first hour, but had to leave.  Heard it lasted two hours.

While I was there, SS praised Gilmer, saying they have some super athletes and good coaches.

SS also said he made some poor offensive play calls and our effort wasn’t what it should’ve been, especially on defense, and he took responsibility for not having the boys playing as hard as they could every play.

Surratt said this was a very difficult loss to take, but we will pick ourselves up and be excited to try again next season.

Go Dawgs!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;

It is the man who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Maybe the "great" coach should have told his son, "Whatever you do, don't fumble the ball away to Gilmer, to end the game".

Maybe you should get out of your feels that someone called your coach good and not great.

I have no doubt they will be back while he's there at Carthage - a good combo. As I told my wife at the time, when Jeff Traylor coached Gilmer (she was from Washington state, so she was really getting an indoctrination to "sports coach wife world"), there are coaches that will not accept bad results because those losses (L's) go beside their name, and one way or another, they last forever, and you want to represent your community in a great way and your family name in a great way and not ever be embarrassed.

ya know if Gilmer coach is so smart why did let the game even go to ot?

At that point he literally put those young men  opportunity  to be in semis(Buckeyes) at risk because of very poor coaching by him and the coaching staff.
