Sum1uno, I know you are enjoying every minute if this week... Been a looooong time a-comin' for C-ville to make it back to playoff times. Next 2 years will be even better. Best of luck to your team and enjoy the trip.

Round 1 game day.

Some excerpts from that Hargis mans paper - in case you missed it.

 

 

South Pittsburg coach Vic Grider, a playoff veteran, has been trying to get his team healthy since midseason but feels he has a team that can play with anybody if the Pirates are healthy. He said the problem was getting them there.

 

"You can't show up with a half-loaded gun," he added. "I'm curious to see what we look like if we get all of our best people out there."

 

The Region 3-1A champs will be heavy favorites to secure their 10th win of 2016 when they host Cornersville, the fourth-place team from Region 4-1A.

 

We got beat by a 10-0 football team. It isn't like we got beat by some chumps," Grider said. "Did we leave some chances out there? Yes, but I'm sure they feel the same way. They showed us, though, how hard and physical you have to play if you want to be successful. If that game hadn't turned out like it did, I'm not sure we would've beat Marion (County) two weeks later. It may have been a great learning experience for us."

 

South Pittsburg is the most successful area team this decade with 20 playoff games and 15 playoff victories. There is no pressure, though, for these Pirates to try to live up to the accomplishments of those who've gone before.

 

"It may sound crazy, but they've been through the roughest two- or three-year stretch we've had," Grider added. "We've beat some teams but we couldn't beat the good teams at times, and these guys are trying to get (the program) back where it was — re-establish what was."

Playoff football in South Pittsburg...you got to love it. You can sense the excitement in the air. You will notice the golden championship trees lining the road coming into town. You will see the fans come out to support, the music blaring, a cannon going off that will shake the ground, and the fireworks lighting up the sky. What's not to like? Go Pirates!

What are golden Championship trees? I've never noticed those in my hometown.

What are golden Championship trees? I've never noticed those in my hometown.

What I've always called them. The ones that line the street starting by Loyd's. Golden leaves so when they fall and line the street it's pretty. Have to love fall colors.

Thanks Big. Im looking forward to the next few years but wanna take it slow. At my age you gotta slow down and enjoy them all.

 

Boys I know y'all are heading up and walking into one of the premier teams in the state backyard but play with honor and represent your team with character and determination. Fight to the end and leave no doubts. You are not expected to win but are expected to give your all. You do that and you'll be winners to me. Go dogs!!! Safe travels and I'll have your back as always.
