Ive got a couple questions.

What is the all time series record between these two teams?

When was the last time Whitwell played in the quarterfinals?

Has Whitwell ever played in the semi-finals or finals?

Thanks

From that Hargis man himself:

Whitwell (11-1) at South Pittsburg (12-0)

» That was then: The first meeting was Oct. 13, when South Pittsburg held off a furious late rally to post a 21-14 win at home. With the largest crowd in Beene Stadium's 50-year history, both teams ran the ball 40-plus times with the Pirates narrowly outgaining the Tigers 276-255 on the ground. The Pirates led 21-8 early in the fourth quarter and had two possessions with a chance to put the game away but were stopped, opening the door for the Tigers to rally. After a 73-yard TD run from Trace Condra, Whitwell continued its comeback with an 18-play, 78-yard drive, converting three third downs and a fourth down to reach the Pirates' 3. With no timeouts remaining and the clock under 10 seconds and running, a Hudson Petty pass was batted down in the end zone, allowing the hosts to hold on.

Petty and Condra each finished with 100-plus rushing yards as Whitwell wore on the Pirates, gaining 159 of its 266 rushing yards on its final two drives and doubling the hosts in yardage in the second half.

» This is now: It's been one of the best seasons in program history for Whitwell, which is one win from reaching the state semifinals for only the second time. It was widely believed once the last game ended that these two teams would have no trouble working back to a rematch. Sure enough, both teams have won by mercy rule in the four games that followed their last meeting.

The Pirates have shut out three straight opponents, and although they're riding a 27-game win streak in the series, the confidence gained from nearly winning the last game could help Whitwell end that skid.

"We're going to play a really good team that seems to hitting their peak," Pirates coach Vic Grider said. "They feel good about who they are and know they're good enough to do what they do and have success. We feel the same. I'd say we both have each other's full attention."

This sure has been a entertaining week for sure. Just glad to be on the SP side of coacht, I was actually kind of surprised not more Tiggers on here this week. Maybe that Boldin man might have had a talk with all those fans up there and he told them to stay off of coacht. I sure know there's far less of them on here than there was the first time. The cannon is getting oiled down right now and ready for alot of powder tonight.  As when I was in the military this was all ways an exciting time when word came down the line and said,lock and load,then the words fire in the hole.. That's what i want to hear all night long tonight. BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! Let the smoke boil Pirates!!! Got our tickets already so now it's just a waiting game for about 4 hrs and 45 mins.. Go Pirates!!!

About time to put some ferrel cats down. Hope everyone stays healthy because one moves on and the other starts basketball season. And as Slick Ric says, "TO BE THE BEST YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE BEST!" and we are the best around here. WOOOOOOOOOOO

Almost that time men. Which team can come out and take control and leave with a win? My answer, Pitates get the job done and continue on to next week. “Hitt’em hard and often. Leave no doubt who owns this valley”!
