SP 35-24. McKenzie benefitted from an injured Moore QB, then last week Dresden had the lead and went into brain fart mode. I think Gordonsville could beat McKenzie. 

Easy General 

Glad to see an upper Cumberland team go the dance again. Gordonsville in 2012. Clay Co in 2022. Good to see the UC coming alive. I think this area is underrated in all sports. Bring a gold ball back home Bees

@Southtowner 

SP 31-27

ER 34-28

Good luck to the Pirates. I have tons of respect for your program. It’s a pleasure to match up with you guys most years. Bring another gold ball back East! @Southtowner @Pirate2003 @piratetom @LethalAttack

Safe travels on the short drive to Chatt. Hopefully we see you guys again in 2024 

I’m hoping for York in a barnburner. Good luck to both 

Dresden 34

McKenzie 21

Good luck to both! Whoever wins will get a crack at South Pitt. Better bring your A game to Chatt. The Pirates can embarrass you quick. Very very good football team

I hope everyone had a good and blessed Thanksgiving! Thankful God sent his son to die on the cross for all of us. God bless and safe travels tonight! Cheer your local boys on

I believe we will bring a good size crowd.  It's the semifinals and we travel well at this point in the season.  

I was hoping that Stone Cold man would get a couple pep buses to take along up there.   

I could have driven one. 

Off topic of this game, but I remember the crowd the Pirates brought to Gordonsville in 2012. Great crowd and atmosphere for a 2nd round game nonetheless. And what a great game that was!!!

I hope you're right. I just wonder how we stack up against the west. 2 great teams are going at it on that side.

I’m thinking I’m going to make the trip to Chatt to watch the championship. Going to be a GREAT matchup I believe

I really hope so the kids deserve the support. If we make it to Chattanooga, I know we will pack the place out. 

I think you mean “when” you make it to Chattanooga. No offense to OZ but you guys are just too good for them and everybody else in the East and it’s showed

It’s a semifinal game. The people will come. Shoot I remember the Greenback games the stands were packed 2 hours before kickoff.

Greenback on paper was a more formidable opponent. And you guys hadn’t already beaten them by half-a-hundred earlier in the year

How many fans will SP take to OZ? Can’t help but think it will be another beat down so how loyal are SP fans to drive all that way to see what should be a blowout?

What kind of mess is this Towner man?  Are you trying to make that Wizzard man real mad by booking tickets to the finals already?  That Stone man done made him real mad when he beat down his team at that Grider man's field earlier in the season.  You think I'm joking but I'm not.  That pegleg man needs to take your computer.

I don’t think all the motivation in the world could help OZ beat your Pirates this year. You guys have too much firepower. A little added fuel won’t make up 56 points

You forgot to say "ditto" 

I'm assuming you quoted my picks as being yours as well? 

My apologies  I’m still a little discombobulated from Friday night

You were right the whole time. 

I was pretty positive of it. You guys are on another level this year 

Congrats to the Pirates. You were the better team. Bring a gold ball back to the East. Til next year

One final note from me..this team is dangerous and injuries are a part of the game..but SP could have been even more dangerous with Jace Stone. Tore his ACL first play of the year on kickoff.

Hate to hear that for any kid. Hope he recovers well!!!

Headed south. Go Tigers

You’re NOT hearing that from anyone here at South Pittsburg!! Personally I’ve said all year nobody will come close to stopping us from making it to Chattanooga but winning it will be tough and from what I’ve seen it’s been pretty mutual from all our South Pittsburg fans

I also agree with this

Let me ask everyone this question.

Why does everyone think SP won’t blow us out tonight?

They beat Clay 58-0 last week. 2 weeks we got lucky to beat Clay in double OT.

So tell me why the predictions aren’t skewed big time to SP? I’m a Gordonsville homer and have seen a lot of really good football teams at Gordonsville and this team is a slightly above average team. Nothing more.

Our team in 2021 was better than this years squad and we went to SP and lost 44-14.
 

Maybe I’m too critical because I’ve seen so many Gordonsville teams but I just don’t see us keeping this one close. I hope I’m wrong.

I hope I’m dead wrong but don’t think I will be. I think SP wins this one something like 42/9 to 0-7. Just don’t think we will have the horses this year. Maybe in a few years but not this one. Seen a lot of Tiger/Pirate games over the years but this one feels like an unwinnable one for my Tigers. Good luck to both teams

Good luck Owls! You guys will have my support from South Pittsburg. Take it to em tonite

Mr BluePrint after watching the Pirate Game  you will see why #8 is my Pick for Mr Football! This young Man runs like a D1 player! 1 person rarely Tackles Him and he is a absolute Beast on Defense! #0 also a semi finalist is a complete Baller also! This Team has soooo many outstanding players! This Defense is on a different level than 98% of any 1 or 2A program. Let me know what you think after. Drive safe!

Eyes will be peeled for 50, 51, 8, and 0. Looking forward to the trip and seeing this game. Any Pirate fan want to help me bypass the $10 admission?

@TheBlueprint 2 kids I want you to watch tomorrow night  51 Cameron Grider and 50 Ranye Tipton. Both have wonderful stories of determination and perseverance. Both play with a huge heart. Cameron has improved so much over his career and Ranye gets overlooked at times by his 5’5 size. Both are solid players for the Pirates!

I will keep my eyes out for them. Both seniors?
