Technically it was, but the game in Murphy got cancelled due to Covid.

That's right, i forgot about that.   Fall 2021 y'all were supposed to come here but had to cancel.   I was hoping we would keep this series going.

This is the start of a new 2 year schedule. I would like to have seen that game again as well. I saw that Sequatchie County isn’t First now. It’s been moved to fourth. What does your schedule look like? Anyone from Tennessee?

Unfortunately we hardly ever hear anything about ours till late spring and are usually still trying to fill open dates up until the start of season.  

I guess they took Murphy off the schedule.   That sucks, I figured we would do a home/away series.

Robbinsville is pretty good. I may have to go watch that one. My good friends son is the running back for them. Do you know when they play?

Did you come watch the game?

I know some of you guys were asking so thought I'd give an update.

Our injured player had to have surgery Saturday but got to come home that evening.  He's got a rod in his leg now but should make a full recovery.  Unfortunately his football career is over. He was at practice today and seemed to be in good spirits considering.  

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.  They are greatly appreciated.

Some basin boys got some crow to eat

Just got to the stadium if anybody wants to meet at the scoreb.oard

Me and PirateMike are always up for meeting our CoachT friends. Let us know what time you are planning on arriving at the game. 

What time do gates open?

I'll be there if anybody wants to meet and greet and maybe talk a little football before the game or at halftime.

Where's a good place  to eat in South Pitt before the game Friday night?  The wife and I generally try to hit a local restaurant when we're on the road.

Nothing but respect for South Pitt and your program.  You guys are the standard by which other TN 1A teams are judged.

Your guys may very well run us off the field Friday night but they'll know they've been in a ball game when they wake up Saturday morning lol.

I just hope for good weather and a good clean injury-free game.

Murphy is not good trust me they won’t be able to handle the speed. South Pitt wins this game soundly 42-14 . I have talked to a few Murphy boys and they have been worrying for 2 weeks

Not good is kind of strong....Copper basin is not good.  I wouldn't really say we're worried either.  We've been preparing for this game for two weeks but worried is not how I'd describe it.

We've heard several times how we can't handle the speed of this team or that team.  Some times we win, some times we don't.  We'll come down off the mountain and strap em on either way.

We won the 20/21championship in the spring of '21 because NC didn't have a fall season that year.  Coach Gentry retired after that season and Watson took over in Fall of 21.  We did get put out in the 4th round last fall

Like with any new coach we've had our growing pains.  You don't just replace the winningest coach in NC and a majority of his staff and not miss a beat. Especially with only 2 months before fall ball started.

As for this seasons team, we lost a lot of skill kids to graduation and are still trying to find our identity.  Couple that with a long bus ride and I think SP wins this one comfortably.

Huck is my favorite.  Gotta love Jim Tom too.  

Huck actually lives in Cherokee Co.   LIke 3 minutes up the road from my house.  We've hunted together for years.  

Murphy with the win 63-23. 

Long drive but a nice facility and friendly fans.  Wish them the best the rest of the season.

Y'all got any more Carl Pickens type players? 

Not recently.  We did just have a 4-star OT graduate this spring.  He's on the roster at Florida.

Oh didn’t know that. Well that would have been a great match up 

We were really looking forward to that game, hate it got cancelled.  We did replace it with a powerhouse 2A GA team in Rabun County.  They have the #5 ranked QB in the nation so may be a long night.

Hope we can line something up with you South Pitt guys in the future.  Was really looking forward to that game.

Committed to UGA.

We’re you able to pick up anyone tomorrow?

Rabun County, GA.

Whose QB, Gunner Stockton, is the #5 ranked QB in the nation.

May get ugly. Credit to our boys though, they're looking forward to it.

Heard we picked up Cherokee for a 9/17 game. Know nothing about them, what are we in for? All I know is they're 3.5 hours from here.
