Tech's Gathers closes in on ACC sack record

By
ATLANTA - While Greg Gathers holds Georgia Tech&#39;s all-time sack record, Tony Hargrove has the talent to break it. But for either one to accomplish their goals, they need each other. <br> <br> Gathers, Tech&#39;s All-American defensive end, is five sacks from the ACC record, currently held by Virginia&#39;s Chris Slade and Florida State&#39;s Reinard Wilson. <br> <br> He told the Macon Telegraph he wants to win a championship and leave a mark on Georgia Tech. And he is looking to the rest of the defensive line to help him reach his goals. <br> <br> So after last season Gathers pulled Hargrove, then a freshman, to the side and said, ``I need you to work.&#39;&#39; Ever since then, Gathers has spent time with Hargrove, explaining blocking schemes, giving tips, forcing his young pupil to pay attention. <br> <br> Last week in practice, Hargrove, while rushing the passer, jumped, smothered the ball at his waist and outran everybody to the end zone. He had four tackles and a sack, his third career, against Vanderbilt.
