Marion Co. vs. S. Pitt.

[Sequatchie]

Posted by tnaquarius:

The best rivalry in high school football has arrived. I have had the opportunity to see both teams practice and scrimmage and believe that both teams are fairly close in terms of talent. South Pittsburgh has decent speed and athleticism, but is prone to break down and give up big plays on both sides of the ball. They will rely heavily on running back jones and will go as far as he can carry them. The pirates have problems at quarterback as the play from that position has been erratic. Marion looks similar to the team they had last year. The warriors have decent size but are lacking for speed, especially in the secondary, which is the teams weakest position. Marion doesn't appear to have many standouts and will have to perform collectively.

OUTLOOK: Neither team will dominate the other and the game should be a typically competitive affair. As usual, the team who makes the fewest mistakes and is able to capitalize on the opportunities that occur will win. Marion is the deeper team and gets more consistent play from the quarterback position. These two factors will result in the warriors claiming the victory.

If the Jamboree is any indication South Pittsburg looks to be a more passing team this year as oppossed to the past with a couple of good receivers also in the 2 quarters Marion Co. played in the jamboree they appeared to get tired easy which they can't do if they want to win games this year.

 

South Pitt. 28

Marion Co. 24

This game is going to be very close. It is probably too close to call. All I can say is probably a touchdown either way. I think both teams looked better than last year. I wouldnt bet the ponderosa on neither team. I just don't know who will win.

I believe that winner of this game will be the team that wants it the worst. I give the edge to Marion here. The seniors on this team are hardworking and dedicated. They won't give up easily.

Well, I was at the jamboree and Jasper does not impress me as they did in years past. They have 2 good lineman and a decent QB...the 2 running backs are ok...but the team is out of shape and it shows....I sit in the stands and thought, we could really beat them bad this year IF we are still in it by 2 quarter.....they can be explosive, but Jasper is not the Jasper of old....sorry guys..

[DelTavian]

I'd bet on Marion this year.

Did one of the Griffith guys that was at Whitwell last year go to South Pittsburg, or was it just a guy with a similar name down at the jamboree?

[Shadrick69]

south pittsburg has their own jerimiah griffith...the one from whitwell is still there
