I wanna know why we didnt use that leg we've got on special teams.  That boy can hit from 40+

Whitwell 20

SP 12

South Pitt rolls on with the L train.  It's never too early for basketball.

SC 26

SP 12

SP's quarterback kicker misses both of his extra points. Both wide right.  Don't worry, boys...basketball season won't be as bad.

How many yards were gained by punt returners for Marion?  Every punt tonight by Whitwell was unreturnable, if that is a word, except one and gained at least 30 yards of field position for the Tigers.  Instead of Marion getting the ball inside the 10 yard line, like last week against Midway, they got it at the 40 or more.  I would call that a vast improvement.  Whitwell's punting and kicking game will not make a lot of highlight reels but I will take the improvement every week.  On the other hand, Whitwell got a standing ovation by several spectators after the first punt.  

If I remember correctly the only punt that was returned by Marion was the last one at the end of the game.  Also I'm not exactly sure what happened on their extra point attempt or the kickoff to open the 2nd half.

I heard this and surely it's not true but I heard Whitwell coach doesn't believe in punting?

After tonight he should think about not punting for the rest of the season.

Marion will be dressing JMS after half time

You Jasper fellers should at least use more imagination while poor attempts at rattling SP cages! Pert near sad you fellers from Jasvegas is always hoping to be like little brother.

here's some imagination: the pirates win more than 3 games this year 

SP shouldn't lose by more than 28. You think I'm jokin, but I'm not.

get ready for the hardwood, boys

Who said anything about firing Boeck? The boys really need to put some emotion into the game. They seemed like they were in gym class playin a game they didn't wanna play.

Ok first things first. The young lads at South Pittsburg complete dismantled the young lads from Marion. Good job. However I have never been so ashamed of being a Marion alumni. These young lads weren't prepared to play in this game. They played with no desire, heart or determination. Once the game was decided they did not fight on. They simply quit. Two years ago I gave legend status to Boeck on the run to the semifinals. I now understand it was a mistake and nothing more than beginners luck. I am officially stripping Boeck of the legend status he achieved on a judgement in error by myself. Even the great one such as myself makes mistakes. Young lads not competing is on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Boeck did not have our young lads prepared and it showed. Losing is one thing but not competing and total lack of team discipline is another. I will be watching the young lads from South Pittsburg for the remainder of this season. I will not give my support and money to the program that I love until a change is made.

Quoted for truth.

Gotta love Channel 9 news. It caught Beock smart off to Grider at the end of the game. Sometimes it's best just to keep your mouth shut. If not for the Pirate Rule, it would have been 99-0 as predicted.

There's the link to the video if anyone would like to see it, lol. Marion acted as if they weren't trying tonight. They definitely need some kids to step up and be leaders. Worst game I've EVER seen Marion play.

Pirates offense is too much for the Marion defense. Marion lost alot of good seniors this past year, in my opinion they aren't near what they were last year. Don't get me wrong, they're still a good team & got the right mindset and have their heart in it, but I just don't see them making a far run in the playoffs similar to last year. I really want this game to be close like they used to be in years past, but I'm afraid it's going to be a repeat of the past 3yrs. I really hope the boys on both teams will act right and not have 100 unnecessary penalties. Good luck to both teams and lets hope for an injury free game on both sides.
