South Pittsburg @ CopperBasin

[Old Warhorse]

After a Huge Win over rival Marion county (aka Jasper) how will the Pirate Go to Copper Basin and Play.. This will be Copper Basin's first game of the year.. and The Pirates second game...

 

SP plays the starters the 1st half. Game over. Clock runs, SP plays entire roster. Game over by 9:15PM

Be careful with that kind of thinking. That is exactly when slip ups occur.

[Green_Acres]

You are right. I forgot about that part. It doesn't take effect until the second half.

 

 

 

They probably should make an exception in this case, right?

 

Maybe Vic and Copper Basin's coach could agree on some house rules before the game.

Ditka said SP might score 100.. From what a hear SP 9th grade team would beat CB by 35.

Probably but I don't know of any coach who like the mercy rule. About all it does is cut out playing time for the 2nd and 3rd string who are the ones who really need the reps. 9th graders should get some valuable game experience and playing them should give CB a team they will be competitive with which will help them get better. CB is a really young team and the game experience (once the JV is in) will help them down the road against teams they can compete with.

South Pitt historically, (last year specifically) has had a problem getting excited and ready after big games. Last year the absolutely Destroyed Jasper and then lost Temple. I know some will say Temple was a really good team, but from what i hear South Pitt didn't even show up to the game.

 

The good news? This isn't a team like temple. Copper Basin doesn't have the talent to beat South Pitt.

What I meant about the house rules was that the coaches can agree to do away with the mercy rule if both coaches agree, right? If Vic is winning at the half then he puts in his JV and lets the teams play as long as they are not doing more than swapping touchdowns. It seems to me, rather than shortening a game, it would be better for both teams involved for the dominating team to sub in JV players to give them work, allow the losing team to feel better about themselves, etc. Vic can keep the mercy rule off the table if he is careful and allow some younger players to see some good playing time.

Always remember to listen to the real geno and not this imposter one on here. SP should win big.

[sportman]

To bad coach Stone cant take the JR High team to play. With them playing we would still win by 21. Seriously I hope Coach Grider does take it easy on them. Put 35 on them and get the young one's some playing time.

South pittsburg by at least 25
