Got Whipped bad all night long!!! Yes we true Pirate faithful don't look through rose colored glasses. We call it like we see it. Yes we finished 9-1 and those 9 wins IMO were against 2 good teams, 1 decent team, 2 so so teams, and four really bad teams.  The bad thing is we didn't play the best of games even against those really bad teams.  I just hope our young mean look deep inside themselves this week and examine themselves and no one else and ask themselves this question. Am I giving everything I have for this team? If any player can't say that with a big yes then they should go ahead and turn there uniform in today. I had rather go up to Whitwell with half a squad of no quitter's than a full squad that could care less if this is the last game or not.  Effort is everything in my book and I have only seen that in just a few player's this year.  If we get beat and there's total effort, I am ok with that, but just going through the motions and not caring, that's a whole new ballgame.. I'm being serious about my comments and I hope this get's back to some of the player's. 

LOPAO, Old Pirate says the inability to tackle at the second level what OP saw. LB & secondary are expected to tackle far better than what the Pirates were able to do. Rarely, did OP see them not give up ground after contact! Recon maybe some ain’t wearing Rose Colored glasses but need to see an optometrist. The OL didn’t stay blocks, DL did a poor job of shedding blocks.

I've only been to a few games this year due to personal and family illness but I've been keeping up with everything that's going on the best I can. I feel Whitwell has the group to beat South Pittsburgh again but I do believe it will be much tougher game than round one. I've been around valley football since South Pittsburgh won the state in '69. You NEVER overlook SPHS!!! If Whitwell does football is a funny game...when ole mo gets on a certain sideline a lot of things can happen!! But?? If Whitwell gets the mo they are very explosive!!! Turnovers and time of possession will be very important!!! My advice to South Pittsburgh is grind it and control the clock...that will be there best defense keeping the ball out of Whitwells hands. I think the Raulston boy..#9 must be a man possessed running between the tackles and eating the clock while hopefully get points on long drives. Whitwell is very tough defensively! My advice to Whitwell is don't get overconfident and focus! Your the best team but you must play error free ball and hope the weather allows you to throw on occasion. Be aggressive on defense and hit hard..you may wear South Pittsburgh down...but NEVER overlook a team with tradition like SPHS. I hope it's a good clean game with no injuries and I hope the winner takes the state championship!!!

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
