Is he suspended for this game? Back in 2011 we had a kid get suspended playing SP in the playoffs and had to sit out the opening game of 2012 season. Pretty crazy

Is it true there was an SP player ejected last week?

Definitely no secret that this Gordonsville team isn’t like some of the past. We lost a big class that had high expectations and never made it past the quarters in their 4 years. This team wasn’t supposed to be as good and honestly is kind of a surprise to have made it this far. We will be better within the next few years. Got a good group of underclassmen and Jr high kids. I think the Pirates have their way with us this year as well. Just want our boys to compete and not throw in the towel early

Not a coach. I guess you could call me a researcher. I just went to SP’s schedule on coacht and went to the “analysis” tab. Shows how many points scored and given up. Then I divided both numbers by 12 for games played

This team is averaging 49 points a game and only giving up 4 … is there any other SP team that’s came close to that?

So are you saying this SP team is one of the best in program history?

“Expecting” isn’t the right word. “Hoping” is more like it. You guys are obviously a different animal than you were last year and we lost a big group of seniors. I’m sure it would take the game of our lives to leave with a W this year

Man I hope this weather can somewhat cooperate for Friday night. Don’t really want to sit in a gully washer but will to see this game. I guess I could take a tent and set it up on the track

Just looked at the same thread on the 3A board and thought I’d make one for 1A. Pretty interesting to look at and get everyone’s thoughts on it. Teams in bold have already been beaten. Gordonsville is the only team who wasn’t in final poll that is still playing. Final AP poll for 1A on 10/30 1. South Pittsburg 2. Dresden 3. Moore County 4. McKenzie 5. MASE 6. Coalfield 7. Union City 8. Whitwell 9. Collinwood 10. Oliver Springs Teams left in Quarterfinals Coalfield vs. Oliver Springs South Pittsburg vs. Gordonsville Moore Co. vs. McKenzie Dresden vs. Union City

Are you sure you’ve seen us play? You must have seen a different Gordonsville team than the one I have seen all year

Not true

It would hurt us imo. We are able to run the ball effectively because teams have to spread out and respect our passing attack. But if we are unable to throw and catch because the slippery conditions, our run game will be very ineffective because SP can just stack the box on us Realistically, if SP had athletes galore they can just play man everywhere and stack the box anyways and it would be hard for us to do much on O

We were right at the cutoff for 1A. I think we were the 3rd highest enrollment in 1A. All depends on if TSSAA changes the cutoff number. I know they want to try and keep the same amount of teams in each classification so we could maybe stay 1A depending on what they do to that number. Time will tell

#14 Dalton Hancock has really stepped up big at WR since Gentry went down. Definitely our first option in the passing game #2 Musgrove is a good solid RB. Doesn’t really burn but can make some good things happen #22 Jermario Williams is another RB who has came out of nowhere. From Jamaica and is just a sophomore. Just now learning how to play football but is a pretty shifty with the ball in his hands #34 Kyle Adams. Kind of a do it all type athlete. Plays a lot of positions and is tough hard nosed kid

Probably will be until Regions 3 & 4 change up. Or unless we go to 2A next cycle. Our Jr High and Jr pro teams all had good seasons this year so more good talent is on its way to the high school field. Makes me think we will be seeing more matchups between Tigers and Pirates hopefully

Can’t speak for Signal Mountain but our place is for sure a tough spot to play. In my opinion, I think the atmosphere at Turney Ford has fallen off a little bit but still a tough spot. Same goes for the Creekbank in TC, if the Jackets are good. Good luck going there and coming home with a win. It took us from ‘87 to this year to get another win over there

Without a doubt

I would love to be able to see this game. The Hole should be rocking Friday night. I will be rooting for the Owls from South Pittsburg. No matter the dislike between us, I want you guys to win every game except the one against us. Good luck!!!

Our fans have been rather subdued this year. Especially the last 2 weeks with it being playoff time. We have had rather small crowds, even at home with good weather. I guess that’s what happens when you go into the playoffs at 6-4. Our fans can be rather spoiled thinking it’s a birthright to go to the quarters or further lately. I expect us to travel well. I hope so anyways. These kids deserve to have the support of the community

Our best stretch of football was for sure the late 70’s through ‘87. Some of those late 70’s and early 80’s teams missed the playoffs with 1 loss. Never have heard any stories from the real old timers about the 79 or 80 game against SP. I will have to ask around about that. I’ve always loved hearing the stories from my father about games before my time

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

You’re correct on this. 2 regular season matchups back in ‘79 and ‘80

21 against White House Heritage ER won 49-21 so some of those points could have been late against the 2nd teamers

CLASS 1A ROUND 3 EAST QUAD 1 (1) Coalfield vs (2) Oliver Spgs QUAD 2 (1) SP vs (1) Gordonsville WEST QUAD 3 (1) MooreCo vs (1) McKenzie QUAD 4 (1) Dresden vs (2) Union City CLASS 2A ROUND 3 EAST QUAD 1 (1) Hampton vs (1) York Institute QUAD 2 (1) Smith Co vs (2) East Robertson WEST QUAD 3 (1) Huntingdon vs (2) Riverside QUAD 4 (1) Memphis Business vs (1) Fairley

Well… I predicted SP would beat the brakes off Clay Co and everybody said I was crazy as a loon The score to this one will be the same, maybe worse if SP wants to get some revenge from last year And no I’m not sandbagging. Last night was the best game I’ve seen us play all year but we simply will not have the horses to run with SP SP will name the score I am still looking forward to coming to the Beene Always a fun place to watch some playoff football. Almost feels like a birthright to watch Gordonsville/South Pitt in mid November That’s all I’m going to say this week Go Tigers
