Marion has the best all around team in this match up but ER has a few playmakers that will be hard to stop. I seen a few comments talking about Marion and penalties. ER has to be careful too because they have been known to get a lot of yellow flags against them. This game will come down to Jasper stopping the run. If they can do that then I think they will come out on top but that isn't a simple task. Marion passing game has been hit or miss this season and in this weather I don't think you will see to many pass attempts tonight. Marion has to get the ball into Sam Pickett's hands and let one of their best all around playmakers shine tonight. I think Marion causes a turnover late and pulls out a tough game. MC - 34 ER - 26

I am hearing that a new coach has been picked, that it was told to someone or announced last night. Is there any truth to that?

Don't be shocked if there is news tomorrow.

The money wouldn't be close but the QB club down in South Pittsburg would make sure he is well taken care of. All of the past coaches have gotten " bonuses " to make sure they are happy. You don't think Vic could have went to a bigger school? Sure he could have, but he was well taken care of in SP as they would Rankin.

Out of all the schools I have heard SP makes the most sense. Why go somewhere and worry about a rebuild when you can go to SP and continue winning? He will be able to build a real nice staff at SP and they will become a powerhouse again in 1A. He will also be able to get talent from surrounding schools because kids will want to play for a proven winner. If he has family in Murfreesboro and Chattanooga then why not split it and coach SP and keep his legacy intact?

Anyone on here need 4 free tickets and a parking pass. My plans have changed today and I'm not going to be able to go.

This game will be like last night's game for SP. SP is hiring it's stride right now and it's not going to stop. 41-13 SP

Lol! This is the best comment of the week. Hopefully you will get back on the SP thread next week and comment after that best 1A QB gets put out this week. SP will win this game by a good margin. I understand supporting your team but this is just funny.

Pirates are going to surprise those fans from Grodonsville. SP 42 Gordonsville 20

I think this will be one heck of a game. I think Marion will have to watch film this week and head to Watertown with a gameplan and execute. I know that's easier said than done but I think Marion has a chip on their shoulder as well as Watertown. This will be a good one but I still have to give Marion the very close edge in this one.

I remember a few years ago these 2 teams played in the playoffs and I remembering this happening from the Westmoreland side. All schools have those types of fans. You can't judge a whole fanbase off a few fans. I have always felt welcomed at Marion. Same goes for the Westmoreland fanbase. I have met some very nice people from there but like I said above I have heard the same coming from Westmorland fans as well but I'm not judging them all off a few peoples actions.

Wasn't the 30+ point win that I thought it would be but a 21 point win. I will say that Westmoreland put up more of a fight than I thought but having some key players out for Marion hurt too. I will give my props to Westmoreland players as they fought hard but Marion is on a mission right now and I don't see anyone stopping them until they meet Meigs again. Even then I still think Marion pulls it out.

I will be back in touch around 9-9:30 central time tonight.

I guess I'm in for a rude time then. I am not a fan of either team but I am here to tell facts. As much as it sounds as if I am bashing Westmoreland I promise you I am not. I wish them nothing but the best in this game as I do all teams in the state playing this week. I am just here to tell you that Marion will be a wrecking ball because they want another shot at Meigs and I think they will get it. Marion took a humbling L last week. They will control this game on both sides of the ball. Once again I wish Westmoreland the best of luck but Marion is a team that is hungry and they are going to eat.
