Well this could be a difficult task considering Meigs and Bledsoe would have to play before the state championship.  I would definitely have to watch Bledsoe to get an honest assessment on how they are.  I know Meigs is pretty darn good. 

I was saying whoever wins between Meigs and Bledsoe will most likely beat Peabody in state

Bledsoe is good this year and I think they win 42-0 and I'll be the one to say this year is between Meigs and Bledsoe for state.

According to Cal Preps on a neutral field they have South Pitt 35 George Walton Academy 17
Obviously you play the game on the field but I’m not sure that they are better than the Pirates. 

I am a Pirate fan myself but @TheRefuter sent the massy ratings matchup tool to a post a while back and it seems pretty accurate George Walton 28 South Pitt 27 on a neutral field and my Pirates also win 40 to 7 over the Cougars so South Pitt is good along with George Walton but the Cougars are in for a rough back half of the season.

That's a long drive if this team is as good as or better than the pirates this year it will be a tough loss for Basin. Safe travels and best of luck to the Cougars. 35-7 George Walton 

I was planning on going to Copper Pan to see them play Whitwell this Friday but that got cancelled and I haven't heard anything about them playing Friday so I will be making my way to Coalfield Friday to hopefully see a good game.

If Gordy runs away in this one I will not be surprised one bit but I think it will be a 2 score game with Gordy winning.

I've struggled with that one. It's still hard for me to tell if GFC is that good, or if Tyner is that bad. I saw the GFC-Basin game, and neither team looked great. Maybe we were just a good match. 

 

I heard Tyner was pretty good but Bledsoe is just that much better than everyone so I am pretty sure the Force isn't really a joke this year. Was it a good game to watch or did both teams play really bad?

Did y'all see that there Tyner vs GA Force score? 31-20 GA Force I believe so. Maybe the home schooled team giving Basin that good game wasn't so bad.

Quick objective breakdown having seen both teams play as of Week 5 and subject to change:

Basin OL < South Pitt DL

Basin DL > South Pitt OL

Basin Receivers > South Pitt DBs

Basin DBs < South Pitt Receivers

Basin LBs < South Pitt RBs

Basin RBs < South Pitt LBs

South Pitt is the better team, but I've seen Basin beat a lot of better teams and played on Basin teams that beat better teams. This is football, nothing is set in stone. 

But you're right as far as it's an uphill battle. In order to get a gold ball, we will likely have to beat Gordy and South Pittsburg, two VERY good teams, as well as what will likely be Coalfield in the Semis. Don't think for a second, though, that this team is afraid of the big time or that they aren't going to show up swinging. 

I'm glad you got to go see how good the Pirates are. While our line and dbs are both smaller than average I will say they make up for it with speed and I can't wait to go to the Basin and find out what y'all got cooking up in the pan.

Well Whitwell has lost the little amount of respect I had for them and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't win a game the rest of the season with that being said I hope Basin finds a game for this week so I can make my way down to Copper Pan to see what they look like this year.

It's really funny how that works Greenback losing state barely to getting killed the next year I really feel for yall and I hope next year you guys get back to the old Greenback

I honestly don't know if anyone is brave enough to play the pirates this week but hopefully next week someone will step up and get a loss on their record.

I watched Gordy last night and they are a very good team that will probably win this game 35-14 and I expect them to pick their offense up this week. I will probably go watch this game since the pirates don't have a game as of now. Coalfield should have a shot at going decently far this year with Greenback being down so this should be a good game.

I enjoyed watching this game last night and I will say both teams had really good defenses and were very physical. On the offensive side of the ball there needs to be improvement for both teams and I could easily see Gordy make it to the second round. Overall a good brand of football I enjoy watching.

Ha ha I bet they don’t! What you wanna bet?

I haven't saw either of the two teams play so I am not going to bet anything but if you would like to keep me updated on the game I would appreciate that very much.

Let's clear a few things up, pal. 

Basin lost 4 good-decent players to graduation. The rest are returning. Want a breakdown? 

4 out of 5 OL including an all-stater

3 out of 4 receivers

All-State QB

RB that has averaged well over 100 yards in each game.

Defense is relatively unchanged with the exception of some personnel moves and a year's experience.

I'm nice to everybody on this forum, and I have respect for most programs in the state, including South Pittsburg. None of us have said we are going to win, but you're a fool that hasn't seen a lot of football if you think it doesn't have the potential to get interesting. 

I hope you come to the Whitwell game like you said. It's not a very big stadium. Which considering you created a burner account to talk smack about a high school football team, I doubt you'll own what you say anyway...

I will be on the Whitwell side standing along the fence most likely and I will not be wearing red so if you want to find me pal I will break the game down and explain how Basin isn't good enough to keep the game close with the mighty Pirates this year. Last year everyone on here was talking about how close the game was going to be and I just didn't see it last year and I surely don't see it this year. The reason I am going to watch Basin is to confirm my belief but I have an open mind so we will see how it goes.

open attendance or limited? 

Yeah that's a good question because I was thinking about going to this game tomorrow before traveling to Copper Basin next Saturday to see what all the hype is about

As usual? What about 2014! Lol

So winning every time except once in the past 2 decades isn't usual? There might be 5 or 6 times if that in the past 50 years that the little cats have come out on top

Don't confuse the administration with the team. Usually a fatal mistake. 

The way I look at things is the administration can't win a football game and Basin cannot win a game over the Pirates this year. Basin has a worse line, qb, rb, recievers, and defense. Little Grabowski will be sacked before he can even get the ball out and there is no way Basin has more than 30 rushing yards total. Pitt has Basin at their mercy as usual.

I think McEwen wins this one because Huntington just isn't as good this year but will still give them everything they have.

I think Greenback is down this year and will most likely be a first or second round exit but they should squeak away with the win in this one unless they are worse than I think they are.

I think Peabody wins this one and will probably make a push for state this year but that is just obvious.

I have heard through the grapevine in Whitwell that Basin is trying to play Whitwell next Saturday and if that happens I will probably be making the trip down to Copper Pan to see what they have this year because from what I have heard is mixed opinions.

I actually think that Gordy is better than everyone thinks this year and they win by 3 or 4 scores but if it is a close game I believe that region doesn't make it out of the second round but then again it doesn't matter who wins in the grand scheme of things because we all know who will be sailing to state this year.
