To all you folks coming up to OZ  watch your speed! They're real picky about it!!

Thanks for the heads up. 

Update: PirateMike is at home but his struggles continue. He has a hospital bed and is on oxygen continuously. Unfortunately due to his current condition, he was denied the transplants . His body is just not strong enough to withstand such a big surgery. Please continue to pray for him. 

Turkey today, Semis tomorrow. It’s always great to be playing football on Orange and BLACK FRIDAY.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

This is the state championship game unfortunately, whoever comes out of the East will get mercy ruled next week.

You have lost your mind !!

We plan to arrive right at 5:00 pm. I’m hoping the yellow brick road leads straight to the gate.

You nailed this!  It was!

Did MC miss an extra point or a failed 2 point conversion ?

I will never understand the lack of logic in who travels in this situation under any sane system Dresden would be at home. Undefeated region champ vs a team they beat in the regular season... undefeated and 1-0 vs the opponent is traveling?  Okay Dresden big IMO

Just the way the bracket falls this year . We are traveling as well to Oliver Springs. 

Season opener to SemiFinals. We’re off to see the wizard…

If we put a 50 burger on Gordy then I’ll buy you whatever you want. 

Consider yourself very luck that last TD by the young Pirates was called back. I was ready to cash in…

Pirate Tom has Pirate blinders. This would never happen. Pirates win but much closer than you think. 

Now what were you saying ?

darn that was a whipping. I didn’t expect one like that tonight. Anyone with stats from the game?

Don’t doubt my predictions next time considering we had another TD called back for a phantom penalty. 

This should be a great game tonight. My question is...

Who wants it MOORE ??

I'm gonna hold you to that 

One of the top games in the state regardless of classifications tonight.

UC 28

Dresden 27

Either team can win it all this year.

Congrats to both teams for making it to the quarterfinals. I expect a hard fought game by both teams but the Coalfield experience will prevail.

CF - 28

OS -16 

SP vs Gordonsville - a familiar ring every year.

I look for the Pirates to come out firing on all cylinders tonight and take control early in this one. Gordonsville will punch back but will not have enough to overcome what the Pirates will bring at them. Best of luck to both teams for an injury free game. Hopefully emotions will be in check and sportsmanship will be displayed.

Pirates 56

Tigers 14

Ok you must not know anything about SP. /

#1. The big recruit is the slowest defender on our defense.
#2. He isn’t a pass rusher 
#3. SP should be able to rush the passer all night. 
#4. Gordy beat Clay & Chatt Prep by a combined 2 points.  (So unless Gordy purposely made these game close then I’m not quite sure how this game isn’t a multiple score win for SP.)

Agree.

Uh oh if big boy is out that will make things tilt a lot more in Gordonsvilles favor. Should allow them to sustain drives better and get more stops in run game. This changes things  upfront for South Pitt. I am just keeping it real. 

Honestly he has not played like a 5 star this year. Slow and takes a lot of plays off.

Does the rain help or hurt either of the teams you think? i really dont know if either are spread em out passing teams. but also hard to hold on to that wet pig skin hahahaha.

To be effective, you need a mixture of run and pass. Limit the passing game because of rain, then both teams can adjust defensively. Could result in a hard fought 4 quarter low scoring game. I'm not sure how much rain is expected, you know how the weather changes around here.  I wonder how many playoff games in the past have been moved to Thursday or Saturday, or is that even an option?

Looks like it might be a rainy Friday night.

I am all for pregame music and being hyped up…but I hope they cut it down to about 300 decibels Friday.

I agree, could not hear myself think.

Crazy to think I’ve been around long enough to remember all these but the ‘79 and ‘80 game. I was still a young whippersnapper and can’t remember those matchups. But I remember all the rest. Lucky enough to have played in the ‘86 and ‘87 games. Good times. Been a lot of good and fun games over the years and hopefully will be many more. Just wish we could start winning a few more of them 

I played in those 86 and 87 games as well.
