South Pittsburg vs. Mckenzie

[SamHain]

Yes, I cheered and was also in that class, but I skipped my Sr. year. I think I have you figured out. Did you win "least changed" at our 10 year reunion?

 

Yes, that would be me. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Sorry it took so long to reply. Hope you're doing well.

I just really enjoyed watching this game last Friday. I saw many true Living Legends being made last week. SP had at least 2 or 3 players achieve legend status. I wasn't that impressed with Mckenzie though. It appeared to me that South Pittsburg's living legend coach was just toying with that old lad. Maybe I am wrong, but that is the way it appeared. He appeared to be one step ahead of him the entire game. Congratulations again to the young lads from South Pittsburg on a terrific season.

We noticed /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . We had a feeling the return game would be a plus for us. The gunners were your one bright spot...they really got down the field... so we took a chance to make those guys less effective and it paid off big

 

Tell them they have nothing to hang their heads about...we had an exceptional team this year. We have 3 of those Silver ones we are pretty proud of. Not many teams have one of those

 

I agree...Smyrna was awesome

 

 

Yeah, some of us spent the weekend kinda picking parents and players up and getting them back moving again. But, the kids hit the weight room again today to get ready for next season. Likely we'll be doing some rebuilding for a season or two here unless I miss my bet. Got a lot of shoes to fill for now. We've got some getting ready for baseball season and a few trying to iron out what school they want to play Saturday ball at next season. We have 3-4 that will prolly make that move soon on paper.

 

For a fact, the town is proud of that Silver Ball. You might know that when we finally made it to the show we'd run into one of the (if not the)best class A teams to ever do this thing!!!! Ya'll are definitely deserving of the Gold this year!!!

 

Just for the record, South Pittsburg has been a class act this past week and it was a lot of fun talking with ya'll through all this. We had a whale of a crowd at our game from both towns. It was special overall.

 

I counted it up this afternoon and only 28 schools have a class A Silver Ball. 3 schools have 3 of them (including ya'll); 5 schools have 2 of them and 19 schools have 1 as of right now. So you are right, not just a lot of 'em out there in different trophy cases. Guess I'll have to be going out to the school sometime this week to check ours out a little better. Congrats on a great season.

I will have to respectfully disagree w/ you here b/c I believe both Alcoa and Fulton has more or equal speed than SP and DL and GPs lines would be much harder to have success against than what SP had faced. Its like I said, not to put SP down at all but I watched everyone of those games Friday and Sat. and could clearly see a difference from class to class. Now having said that, I believe SP could be a final 4 team in both 2A and 3A.....

 

Now I know that unapproved website.com is not always accurate but here are their projectins just for the fun of it

 

Alcoa (TN) 38, South Pittsburg (TN) 27

 

South Pittsburg (TN) 35, Goodpasture Christian (Madison, TN) 31

 

Lipscomb (Nashville, TN) 28, South Pittsburg (TN) 27

 

Fulton (Knoxville, TN) 31, South Pittsburg (TN) 21

 

Smyrna (TN) 40, South Pittsburg (TN) 21

 

Maryville (TN) 38, South Pittsburg (TN) 20

 

What the heck

 

Maryville (TN) 27, Smyrna (TN) 24

 

I dont agree w/ all of these but it is fun to mess around w/ none the less.....

 

 

 

Only losing 18 points to Maryville...I could live with that /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Again, way to go Pirates! I have to commend the city of S. Pitt on the community support! As I drove through there on my visit yesterday I thought it looked more like Halloween than Christmas with all the orange & black! I even saw some women on the side of the road selling state champions hoodies. Sure wish I would've had time to stop & get one! Where else could I get one? I may have family coming up for Christmas & I could get them to bring me one.

The Quarterback Club is in process of getting "STATE CHAMP" shirts in as we speak. Not sure when they will be in. I will let you know when they are here. If you noticed any of the black T-shirts some folks had on Friday, we will be ordering more of those, only difference will be on the back of the shirt, changing 2007 State Finalist to State Champions. There will be another State Champion design also. Just check back here on CoachT, I will post when they are on sale.

Kev...I believe we could beat 3 of the 4 of the 2A-3A teams in the Boro and give Alcoa all they wanted. I just don't see where their talent was that much above ours this year. Now the 4A and 5A teams were just too big for us to have any success. We have an exceptional group of athletes this year

 

Correct, we do have an exceptional group of athletes. Appears that may continue for the next few years also. I also think we could hold our own with some of the other teams this past weekend but we do not have to do that to prove that we are #1. SP's program has always been top notch, will continue to be. This thread has been fun to watch, I think the McKenzie fans are great and the Rebel fans should be proud of what was accomplished this year. I look to see them in the future. I think we will also be around for the next few years!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the Pirates, I expect the seniors to excel in whatever they chose to persue after graduation and the underclassmen to get to work to continue the Pirate tradition. COACHES....you are the best, we appreciate your hard work and the time you spend to help our kids excel. To our community...THANK YOU for the support, let's don't let up, we also have other sports that we are proud of that we must continue to support. We are looking forward to the completion of our new Athletic Administration Building and the return of our basketball and volleyball programs to "The Hill", so don't let up.

I really enjoyed this year in Pirate Land and look forward to many more good years. I would like to thank every alumni and fan that has stood behind the Pirate program for so many years. The benefits of what you can reap really came to life this year with a great group of young men that took us to the promise land [the elite of 1a] My hats off to all the coaches and staff for molding these boys into men! This school means so much to my family and me. Lets keep the tradition rolling!

Thank you so much! I saw the shirts some had on at the game Friday. Will the ones that the QB club has coming be different? If so, what will they look like? I'll keep checking back here.
