Sequatchie regardless if at home or away. Meigs will mercy Bledsoe IMO.

Yah it was one of two of my last picks. I kept going back and forth. I really don’t know a lot of what you guys have returning so I really needed to research it more but just decided to go with Gordy. Good luck though to y’all.

I’m going with Gordy in this one by 1

Wow that’s really good. I’d like to see y’all win gold this year. You got a great chance. The Mount kid he mentioned taking over for Frame is the WR that made that miraculous diving, bobbling, one-handed catch in the end zone against y’all last year.

This will be night and day compared to Greenback. GB is still extremely young and just not very good yet.

Be careful Towner man.

Yes Well don’t eat at Mr T’s Pizza in St Elmo right past the stadium or you will miss another game. I ain’t joking

I believe my SP team has a high chance of making it, but realistically the best games prior to State will come in the quarters and semis in the West.

The mask isn’t going to keep “you” safe. It will only protect those around you if you have COVID so you “cannot” spread it to them. Masks do help from spreading it as badly, but not help in contracting it. It’s just odd to me that last year it was all adults and no children hardly getting it, but this new variant all of sudden appears and it has mostly affect kids until recent because now those kids’ parents have come down with it. I do believe the vaccine protects you like the flu vaccine does. You may still get it but it’s not as rough on you. Just do everything and I mean everything possible to stay clean and do your part and hopefully it will die down again. JMO

Hence why I put lost “a little” in quotations. I wasn’t really sure. I do feel we are better than last year though overall. You are probably right though. We do start ALOT of sophomores that see much playing time last year that should have even as freshmen

So the ones at the top of the list count too??? I only thought the ones in the list count???

Early in the season this is okay. Best to wait until about week 6 or 7.

I believe we are better in some ways. The style of ball we play all the way around fits better. I believe Meigs may have lost “a little”, but mostly SP and Jasper have improved.

Yeah I must be remembering wrong but I know y’all played Welcome to the Jungle whether it was pregame or just afterwards.

Yep you are right.

I am looking forward to hearing what Coach Boldin has to say. It’s sad how the massive flood destroyed everything. Prayers for that community!

Ah ok gotcha. Makes sense now.

One thing I noticed last year that in the past made Gordy seem tougher and intimidating was driving through town all the houses had signs saying “Welcome to the Jungle”, and the team usually ran out to the playing of the song too! I didn’t see, or hear, that last year. Why not?

Yep exactly, same as we did.

SP? Or Jasper? If Jasper I don’t think it will be by 21. I think it will go back and forth and be a 3 or 7 point game. As far as SP, I don’t know if we are 21 points better than Meigs. We should fare better than last season if we were to play each other again, but not 21.

That’s how I was in the championship game last year vs Fayetteville. They were much bigger than they looked on film. And they executed a really good game.

Y’all will do fine. Lots of depth at nearly all positions helps. That freshman group is gonna be special quick too. With two former Pirates as your OC and DC it seems to be working great for y’all. And having Sam Pickett’s (former SP all Stater with Starkey on the 99 SP championship team who had 6 TD’s in that game, and is the fastest player I’ve ever seen at SP) son as a freshman, that young man is already making a name for himself. He has the speed and vision like his dad. I actually see y’all going undefeated. Just don’t become an ignorant and obnoxious poster when you do. Be humble.

Oh wow, what has happened up that way near Cloudland? I know CF returns a lot especially in the backfield. Who know y’all may surprise some people. Boyd is a good team. All the young guys they played since were freshman and now are juniors and seniors at Boyd. Same with y’all. Maybe not this year but next two years should be a lot better.

Yeah I agree with everything you are saying. I believe we all do. I agree especially about the conditioning part. Someone told me that East Hamilton coach told him in the scrimmage that he didn’t know what we were doing down here at SP but our guys NEVER got tired. I don’t want to jinx it but so far I’ve only seen 1 cramping for us. People don’t know this yet but on defense we only start maybe 4 seniors. Most are sophomores. I believe I counted 8 or so sophomores playing at one time on defense, and probably half of that on offense. That’s why our JV beat Sequatchie last night I believe it was 45-8. Go Pirates! #PFL #AllGasNoBrakes

My dark horse in the East is Cloudland. I just don’t know if they play a tough enough schedule to prepare them for the playoffs. Don’t they return a lot?
