Some of the highlights I have found do not look like an 0-4 team. I think that record is a reflection of who they have played. This will be a tough game for the Pirates.

Glad we have this week open.   Usually a let down after the Jasper game.

This past week Lipscomb Academy played Columbia Academy.   The game is on the NFHS network if anyone cares to watch or get a glimpse.  The games on the network are free after 72 hours from game time or available live if you have a paid membership.  All you need is an email address and password to become a member. I'll prolly give it a look see tomorrow when it becomes available for free.

What coach?

I believe this will be a very tough game coming up for the Pirates. If they look at the 0-4 record and think they are really bad we will be in bad trouble. This is a pretty good team coming in next week.

Lipscomb in the past is usually a tough team. After Friday night what I seen in jasper I don't see them slipping up in this one. South Pitt wins as bad as they want to.

After what I saw in Jasper I believe Lipscomb will be a better challenge to this young team. They have lost to 4 private schools. 2 of these schools play in the big boy D2 league. This game will not be like you're saying. You never know how 15-16 year old kids will react.

I'll discuss this game and many South Pittsburg's season so far with Coach Vic Grider on the Friday Main Event this Friday at 5:15PM (central time).   Middle Tennesse can here the show at 93.9 FM (The Duck).  If you're in out of range of our station, you can go to my website at FridayMainEvent.COM and download our free mobile app to your Android or IPHONE and listen every week!  There is also a link to stream the show as well there.

Coach Grider will have them ready to play. The way the offense and defensive line played I don't know how anyone can stop them. I was very impressed with the line, a steady dose of #9,#10, and #22 running the ball i don't think can consistently stop that. I don't know anything about this lipscomb team, but South Pitt has the coaching and the weapons to give anyone problems. Whoever beats the pirates will have to play lights out and hope the pirates make mistakes along the way.
