The situation with the gym at South Pittsburg seems to get crazier and crazier. The latest is the people in South Pittsburg want a 5.8 million dollar gym. The gym was budgeted at 4.2 million. Apparently, a 4.2 million dollar gym just isn't good enough. Why? Now, the city has decided to sue to stop all the building projects in the county. Is this just another bump in the road? Or is this the beginning of the end of South Pittsburg High School? What's everybody in the county think? Let's keep it near adult-level so this doesn't get closed down.

I am glad that SP is getting a new gym. They needed it and the opposing teams needed a safe place to play. But, why would you build a 5.8 million dollar gym for a school that is probably going to be condemned in about 5-10 years? Build the gym that you were approved for and leave it at that. BE HAPPY that you were approved for the 4.2 million, it could have been alot less!!!

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.

      Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
