Whitwell by 4 touchdowns. This should not be game of the week anywhere. Marion 152; "it doesn't matter what happened last year or for the last 15 years, it's what happens this year."
At Howard High School, we have heard a few racial slurs in our time. That happens everywhere; not just in Whitwell. Ingnorance is widespread, and believe it or not, it is in Jasper also. I attend many ballgames in the Sequatchie Valley and have seen poor sportsmanship out of all the teams in Marion County. Marion County's gross display after the win over Whitwell 2 years ago, just might have been the greatest lack of class that I've ever seen after a high school ballgame. Down right shamefull! Whitwell also showed themselves a little after this years win. I don't even have to mention the S. P. Pirates, they are infamous around the state. The sad thing is that it is usally not the players or cheerleaders, it's the fans. A bunch of boys that don't have the guts or the heart to strap on the pads and a bunch of loud mouth girls that have nothing at all to do with the game. We have a principal and coach that has helped us control this type of behavior. Sequatchie Valley football is some of the best in the state, I hope it can stay that way. If Whitwell/Marion Co./S.P. can't control the senseless acts of stupidity, then they need to quit playing each other.
