First things first.  D60, Fayetteville IS NOT the weakest team left in the playoffs.  That should be obvious, even to you.  We may be the lowest ranked, but there is a difference.  We'll come into Sou

I hope Fayetteville beats SP, not because I really care who wins, I just want to see if the SP fans whine and complain as much after a loss as they do after a win. 

oh man we complain the whole year until the next season begins, then we still bring it up when the opportunity knocks.  We are a bunch of spoiled brats :thumb:

 

The last time the team broke down (Hixson), we went on a rampage the rest of the season.  If the pattern holds true, expect business as usual come Friday.  Then you get to hear all the big heads on here talk about how they told you so.  Its never ending.  Love us or hate us, either way you still gotta suit up against us at some point if you want to make it to the Gold Ball.

Humm! Now lets see. Two teams that have never played each other in the playoffs. South Pittsburg's enrollment 249. Fayetteville City enrollment 262. Both School's have open enrollment for there County and there Counties student athlete's can attend there School's. And because any kid and there parents want to be associated with a winning team that is a drawing point for both School's. Lincoln County has about 33,000 and Marion County has about 28,000. Both have Coach's that are very well liked and Coach Moore played for South Pitt and Coach Palmer played for the old Fayetteville Central High. Both teams have good speed and both School's have similar colors of black and orange. Looks like a new rivalry could be born between these two School's. This should be a good game. South Pitt will probably win by 2 touchdowns, but with 2 playoff wins under there belt, this bunch from Fayetteville City cannot be overlooked. The new Fayetteville City High School may not win this game but give them a couple of years and watch out!!!

You have to admit that open enrollment is a benefit.

Smith County where Gordonsville is doesn't have zones and Gordonsville has benefitted from that.

I'm sure South Pitt has to. However, we've lost athletes to the other school in the county as well.

But you have to look at it this way. It's the school system that handicaps themselves by zoning.

So it's only the fault of the school system that they're at a slight disadvantage.

That is just it though.  In a large rural county, no one has benefited from it to any significant degree.  Jasper probably got the best of it during KC & the Sunshine Bands run, but not to the degree some of these characters like to imply.  The city of Maryville in Blount County alone has a larger population than Marion County (28,000) and Alcoa has close to 9000 which is more than Trousdale County's entire population.  Plus, kids can't just bounce from school to school and play ball.

I tried to tell them on another post that I bet it's less than 1% that actuall lives in jasper and plays for SP. Now, Kimball....that's a different story...but still don't think it's too high. Most kids that play at Marion County their parents(or at least one of them) went there. Same at SP. The best in recent years may have been The Hale Brothers playing at SP and the Muir boy playing at MC. Like I said , less than 1%. Edited by PiRaTe._.MiKe
