Copper Basin and South Pittsburg

[svcfan]

It's going to depend on field conditions now.  If the field is soggy it could slow SP down some and both teams will have to work harder holding onto the ball.  That could change the score some. 

 

What time does the game start?

I agree slasher.  This one will be a good game for the home team.  I think Copper Basin's big physically tough linemen will wear down the small, weak, undernourished S.P line.  S.P. has some great athletes, but the line isn't as good as alot of middle school lines.  The game is at "The Hole" which is always a tough venue for ANY high school football team.  No offense to Pirate Tom, but he is a looney tune.  No way will South Pitt score half as many points as he has predicted.  Copper Basin pulls the upset special this week.  Copper Basin 27  South Pitts 21

Them big tough linemen sure did wear that small, weak, undernourished line down. SP coasted to the 45-7 score.

Beautiful night for a football game in Tennessee. Took in the game as my Murphy Bulldogs played 4 hours away.

 

SP started slow then took off in the 2nd half. 13-7 at halftime, then it's all SP.

 

To many athletes, to much speed for SP. Basin has a scrappy team. Game was close than the score indicates imo.

 

But hats off to SP, they got many athletes who can hurt a team. I'm a believer in the Pirates.

Basin played hard the whole game. They did their best and were good sports.

you will notice all those scoring plays were log yardage. SP has a quick strike ofense. Not a power offense. Oline is small but quick. SP defense is very quick and swarms to the ball. That Robinson has a future at safety imo. Big time Dback and a good wr.

 

The halfback is quick, mitchell.

 

Only problem I see for SP is if they run into a power team with good size. That could give them trouble.

Any word on Matthews for the Pirates ?

Why wasn't this game on the radio last night? Were they not able to get a feed from Copper Basin?

Hats off to Copper Basin. They played tough the first half. After we came out and scored in the 3rd, you could see the "pep in their step" switch sides. SP came out sluggish like they did against Lookout Valley, but like it was then, a few big plays and the game was over. In each of the games this year, the pirates have struggled power-wise (as someone else said), but if you watch the whole game, you see in the fourth quarter that our small, quick line begins bullying the opposing line no matter what size the other team is. Is this a question of heart and determination? in better shape? or just plain athleticism? Either way, no matter what anyone says, we are 4-0, and just like Grace Academy's Coach said in the newspaper on Friday, it is good to win.

 

I mean, it doesn't matter who you are playing, if you are winning, then you are definitely doing something right. Good luck to all the teams that remained undefeated after Friday night.
