Well I just looked at the SMMHS website and was shocked to see the girls have a volleyball game and a soccer game scheduled on a night like this. Heck, this will take away at least 50 of the 100 fans we were going to have. I ask what’s wrong with these coaches!!!! SP now might out number our fans 100 to 1. Guess it’s a good thing fans don’t win games, just look back at Neyland Stadium last Saturday night. It sure got quiet quick in the 3rd quarter.

There is also little league football tonight on Signal. The mountain folks have made great strides in a short amount of time but there is still some work to do to get everyone on board. Tonight will be a good lesson in what community pride really looks like for the mountain folks.

Been reading this board for awhile now and it seems this topic is worth a comment. All the above mentioned games were great. I was lucky enough to see several of them. My personal favorites have always been the wins over Jasper. The beat down in SP back in 98 or 99 was a great one and even though it was a loss, the 6-0 game in 94 was a classic. For you old school Pirates you have to mention the win in Jasper back around 78 or 79. Rained all night, winner went to the playoffs and the Pirates won on a trick play near the end of the game. Anyone remember the details of that one?
