At least region 1 isnt alone. Those fellas up on Roan Mtn prolly log more miles than anyone in our conference tho, i bet they travel almost 4 hours to Jellico, and 2.5 to grace.

 

 

Huntland is out in nowhere also. Huntland to Perry County or WC/Collinwood has to be at least 2 to 2.5 hrs.

 

Dont forget about the little yellow jackets. We love to compete against SP. TC1

 

 

TC is a big 1A school. Not a small 1A like SP.

Thanks for the compliment OP, I know that every team has "those" fans, thanks for your kind words, and I really have no idea where SP is! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Arent you guys around the Chatt area? Anyway thanks again! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

 

SP has been known as a football town for years. It is located 30 miles SW of Chatt off of I-24. The football tradition is rich around the surrounding valley. Hopefully the Pirates will be able to schedule area teams that a are larger schools that over the years were rivalries. Recently SP was forced to play region games against new privates that were in the process of building programs from scratch. These programs will be a force sooner than the publics want.

Look up SP's "National Cornbread Festival" on the internet. Every spring the town hosts the festival and over 100,000 come and join the festivities over the 3 days. When/if you come, be sure and take time to see the fine football facility SP has. It's only a few blocks south of the festival. Lots of pride in this little community.

Good Luck again to you and yours from the home of the MIGHTY PIRATES.

We sure do. Some of the most epic battles in our schools history, win or lose, have been with the Pirates. We have two very similar programs and communities. Both are rich in tradition and supported by diehard high school football fans. All the good folks up here in T.C. have nothing but the utmost respect for the Pirate Nation. If all goes as planned, we will meet again sometime in November. In order to be the best (T.C.), you've got to beat the best (S.P.). I just hope we can get a shot at you guys. Good luck the rest of season from Trousdale County.

Same here in Pirate land. We love the meetings with T.C. Although the teams have only played 5 times in the past it seems like much more. The games are intense with so much hanging on each play. Good luck to TC for the rest of the season as well from South Pittsburg. Hope to meet up again in the 3rd round.

I would love to see a Hall of Fame Game take place at the start of everyone's schedule. I would love to see South Pittsburg take on the likes of Alcoa or Maryville. Maybe they could or couldn't hang with them, but I say Hall of Fame games because I have been told at least in basketball, that a loss doesn't count on the record...maybe I am wrong. But man, I would love to see it. I get tired of watching Pittsburg beat up on people. I love that they win, but man, they have to get bored too, ha. Trousdale gives them a good run every year, and Tyner has been a great game for both teams the past two years, but until playoffs, SP never sees much 1A talent. I would love to see them play bigger schools.

 

South Pittsburg really does eat live and breathe football. You can see anyone and everyone at a game. This entire valley is rich in football tradition. I think South Pittsburg has an outstanding feeder program in little league, which is I think key. They're getting taught right. Pittsburg by number can't move up....but they are taught to dominate young. I'm hoping I can make the trip in to see them in Murfreesboro.

South Pitt probably does need to move up , when the new classifacations come out and they are playing in the small 1a ,they will be in a league of their own. I just don't see anyone in the small 1a that could ecen compete.

 

 

Do you realize that SP is one of the smallest public schools in TN that plays football? There is about 11 public schools with a football team with a smaller enrollment than than them. Compare the enrollment of TC, Oneida, Gordonsville, McKenzie, Hampton and even Whitwell with SP and you will see what I mean. Many forget that the building at SP houses 7-12 and gives the perception of a much larger school.

 

Fall 2008 enrollment keep in mind, many of the schools below SP are either private or don't have a football team or both.

 

This poll is a joke. We should at least be number 3 or 4. Cosby ranked ahead of us? We will show them.

 

 

Actually I think GCA is lucky to even be in it. They should be about 18.

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
