South Pittsburg vs. Boyd - For Region Championship

[Indian]

Boyd has probably the best QB the Chattanooga area has ever seen in Healy.

 

Don't you think that's a little too much?

I get the feeling these Boyd people do not respect South Pittsburg anymore. I hope we can get some of that respect back. Boyd apparently thinks they are going to crush South Pitt on Friday. I don't think so. I will not predict a Pirate win but I will say they wont be getting beat by 2 or 3 touchdowns. I would be anxious to see how good Boyd would be if they didnt get some of their players from the surrounding areas. How many is it? Someone said they had 4 or 5 boys from Marion County on their team. Im just wandering how good they would be if they didnt pull kids from other school systems.

Sorry, pcountry. I always pull for SPITT, too. (especially against Marion), but Boyd is pretty good. I wish you luck. If you have DB's that are fast and quick, you may have a chance.

Replied by sphspirate:We do have some pretty fast DB's Ron Ridley, Jerimiah Griffith, Jared Cash, and Jeremy Allison so i would say that we have a chance. So I think you should pull for us AGAIN.

I will have to go with South Pitt. by 3 points. I think this game is so close of a call that I will go with the home field advantage. I have heard playing at South Pitt. is very difficult.

[Govolss]

well what a game this will be. South pitt and boyd r 2 great teams.I think this game is 2 close to call but i think the team who protects the footbell better will win.One of u said that u think these 2 teams will meet agian but i must say i think they migght but one will have to play Gordonsville in wat they call the jungle and its a tough place to play.however i think all three teams r being ovelooked by cloundland they think they have a walk to the BURO.GOOD LUCK 2 BOTH TEAMS TOMMORROW NIGHT and a special good luck to my gallatin greenwave.

You have Cloudland figured all wrong. By no strecth of the imagination do they think they have a cakewalk.After you reach the third round,everyone is tough.We do except to be competitive.

[Guest TrueFan]

No team, by any means, has a cake walk once they reach the playoffs....some regions have 3rd and 4th place teams just as good if not better than other regions 1st and 2nd place.

Nope. I've been going to high school games in and around Chattanooga for almost 25 years now. I saw Mark Gamble when he played down in North Georgia and they threw it all over the place. I saw Saparito (sp!) at Notre Dame last year. I saw Justin Barnes play at Red Bank, Patrick Nix play at Ooltewah and so on and so forth. I think, from what I have seen, Healy is the best. Not only the best, but the smartest QB, Chattanooga has ever seen. A real student of the game and can beat you with his arm or his feet. Come Friday night and you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

How many fans do ya'll think South Pittsburgh will have Friday night? I expect the stands to be packed.

[Guest TrueFan]

I would say around 4000 +

Guitarman,

 

I'm as big a Buc fan as anyone (about 250 pounds!) but I have to say that it is virtually impossible to pick one quarterback over another as the "best ever." There are so many things that factor into the equation. I think very highly or Will Healy. With regard to stats, won-loss record, etc., his all-time greatness is indisputable.

 

But to play "devil's advocate" let me say that he has played class A football, albeit against a fairly rough schedule year in and year out. To compare him to someone like Marty Lowe of Red Bank in the 1988-1990 seasons is very difficult. I saw every one of Marty's games on tape or in person. He had a very strong arm. He also had the advantage of having two of the area's best receivers ever in Cory Simpson and P. J. Johnson. He also played with one of the area's all-time rushing leaders, Gerald Ware who had over 3300 yards. Lowe went to Louisville and became one of their all-time passing leaders. I would say his 4200+ yards passing against a AAA schedule (the highest class then) was pretty impressive.

 

None of this is to knock Will at all. His record of accomplishments speaks for itself. It is just so hard to say "best ever," especially at his position.

 

By the way, I expect a very good crowd. Does 4,000 sound out of line?

I think think that South Pittsburg Pirates are going to have the win over Boyd!!!!!!

 

SP~24

 

BBS~17

[Guest TrueFan]

Well the Home side holds about 2500, the visitors side hold around 1000 and always at SPitt games the sidelines are full...why is that too many for you?
