This by far will be an uphill battle for the Pirates - they are banged up a little so the younger guys need to step up - number 70 has been locked and loaded every game- SP needs the rest of those young men to play with the Same intensity Friday night. The opposite side needs  to play lights out FRIDAY night  - GB believes this year is a repeat of last year -

Long ride to GB  boys - don't eat too much this week and don't over do it on the pregame lol . Get plenty of rest so you feel like playing Friday night- leave the girls along this week - they can wait . ( you think I'm joking but I'm not )

Just got done reading some season stats on south pitt.....thwy average 10 yards a game passing....so u know what's coming...i drove down and watched the first south pitt and whitwell game.....i know I'm gonna get called crazy but ibwas not impressed 

Like the way you guys mix it up,  I thought play calling was a big part of last nights game. Even with the QB  playing injured for Coalfield , I thought they should thrown the ball 90 percent of the time.

You don’t have to be impressed. SP is 13-0 and that my friend says a lot. Everyone knows what to expect out of SP.

Captain jack those  boys need to hit that big boy low and hard / they try that stripping the ball mess he will drag them for about five yards . They need to make the stop and force the punts 

Our defense has held up all year. I don’t see that changing this Friday night. Hitt’em hard and often is what they do!

Knowing what someone is gonna do and stopping it is 2 different things. This is not a one sided deal.

I agree, he watched one game and wasn’t impressed. SP will come out and do exactly what we have done all year. Like the saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Offense scores and defense does it job. Think it’s worked out pretty well so far for us.

Most small schools that win it all runs the ball at least 80 percent of the time, they usually play really good defense. There is an exception to every rule but from watching this stuff for 45 years,thats usually the case.

I see no one is giving South Pitt a chance in this one..... this may not be the fastest,biggest or best sp team that has been on the field but these guys play as a TEAM every week and continue to find a way to get it done. South Pitt isn't 13-0 by luck 

Think you have a good chance,even steven in my opinion.

We will have our hands full with these Greenback boys.  They are a much more balanced team than we've seen this year.  We also know how they can catch lightning in a bottle. It's gonna take everything we've got and we will have to reach down for a little bit more.  If we can make this a defensive type game then I like our chances.  Sure, I'm a homer, but I also know that this team plays very well together and compliment each other. There are no 'me' on this team.   We know exactly what's at stake and what's on the line. Like Coach Grider said after the Whitwell game, he wouldn't trade any of yall for any other players.  I feel the same way.  I've said many times this year how much I love this team.  I said early on I didn't think we were #1 in our class but I said I had no doubt we have the type of team that could reach that goal.   

 

I said all that to say this:    We know what we are up against.  And we wouldn't wanna have it any other way.   We are coming to take what we feel is rightfully ours.  We don't expect you to roll over and play dead.  Where's the glory in winning like that?   So get ready.  We are preparing to give it everything we've got.  And come Friday it'll be something to witness. 

My locker room talk for the night.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
