How to use goliath in a sentence?

1. Chelsi Day:

   You’ve got these powerhouse schools that are always successful or often successful, and it’s not even so much that you want to see them go down as much as you want to see the little guys succeed, you’ve got the David vs. Goliath situation where this is the obvious winner. That the way the chips are stacked, this team should win. So, how cool is it when this smaller team, maybe with less resources, less recruiting power, shows up and takes down a giant ? And again, I think it’s so gratifying to see the little guy win.

2. Leslie Rutledge:

3. Tim Rosales:

   David can absolutely beat Goliath.

4. Blue Planet Society:

5. Georgia Tech.That year Booker:
