I have to brag on my son.  Yesterday we were on the way home and I said "Let's drive by RBHS and see if they are practicing."  As we pass the field, he rolls down the window and yells "Go Pirates!"  A few players turned to look as he rolled up his window giggling.  

 

Gotta raise 'em right.

His momma might get mad, after all she's a Red Bank grad. But all week she's been referring to South Pittsburg as "we" and "us" so she's bought all in as well.

Good luck to the boys tonight. Depending on how SP does in the trenches determines this one. Red Bank has some monsters. That Ragland kid is a biggun.

Oops.  I put an asterisk out beside it.  

* = oops.

I think I just got a little clarification. There was a school in the area that is now Red Bank. We may have played them in '34, but it is not actually the same Red Bank that is this school.

I find that hard to believe since you can’t really see the field from the road the home concrete stands are blocking that . But I wish both teams luck.

I find it easy to believe when they are in the endzone closest to Mountain Creek road.  Once you pass the bleachers and bank then you can easily see that end of the field.  I used to live in the apartments across the street, we'd walk across the road and watch some of the games from that area.  

We agree on one thing though, I wish both teams luck.

Not only are you a great composer of story writing but a history major as well.  I will have to kick my game up a notch.

I'm watching cars pass by on both ends of the stadium.

Not only is it believable but Truth.

Dearest Mother-

 

   I write this letter to inform you I have received your care package of provisions. I swam from New Hope to Battery Point Hill to retrieve the shipment.  I must say these provisions arrived at the utmost opportune time.  For we were running low on your famous possum cakes and squirrel butter.  The young men and myself included were utterly thrilled to receive a batch of your bluejay muffins.  Also, the bandages were especially welcomed as we have had several fallen in battle.  You and Poppa will be pleased to hear of Captain Victory and his Band of Pirates dispatchment of those Hornet men from the J. Majors territory.  But we quickly turned our focus to our next campaign.  Your youngest son, who is of sound mind and strong body, has swam from Battery Point Hill up the length of the river to Mountain Creek.  I am now standing on Troll mountain overlooking the Red Bank camp as I write.  Below I see large carnivores of what I can only describe as a breed of half men half lion species.  This will undoubtedly be the most arduous conflict to date.  They are led by the head Carnivore himself better known as Bad Bad Lion Brown.  But don't you fret Sweet Mother of mine for we have leading us the greatest Captain on planet Earth.  Captain Victory has sailed these waters before and has his Band of Pirates ready no matter who or what we are facing.   Our sidearm is ready and true.  Our ground assault must strike strongly, quickly and boldly. The air assault must be delivered with precise precision. The defense must hold their ground against anything coming their way. Our Special units must pin and cage these Lions deep.    We have our orders.  The command has been given.  We must invade this hostile force and try to skin these carnivorous beings.       Love to All-

 

                   Sgt Southtowner

 

I was woderin’ who that redneck wuz, standin’ in my front yard survey the battlefield.
