South Pittsburg vs Gordonsville (Grider against this Clemons man)

[CaptainLongbeard]

Clay County beat this Gordonsville team 35-6? These playoff matchups are confusing.

That was when they were missing 11 starters too.

The playoffs are a completely different season.

At the 1A level losing a starter changes a whole teams outlook.  It's not like you can just plug in another player like the larger classifications.

Like powerp said, we were decimated with injuries when playing Clay, and it was a 13-6 ballgame going into the 4th.

Even when we were healthy we started 3 or 4 freshmen. Through the course of the year, we've started 9 freshmen. Over a dozen have played meaningful snaps.

All I know is the we have a chance to play in the quarterfinals. Most would probably say that was our ceiling even when we were healthy. With what we've had to endure this year, injury wise, I would say making it this far is an accomplishment. 

We've also seen...any given Friday.

Just ask Whitwell or Monterey.

Focus, Focus, Focus. Each team has to do that when they get to the playoff's.  Each team has to stay healthy, esp. in 1 and 2a.  We should beat Gordy, but, you never know about 14-18  year old young men. I do believe that this bunch from SP is as focused as the 2007 and 2010 teams though.  Looking forward to playing Gordy again. I'm sure there has to be a record for us playing each other in the playoff's???

Not to be disrespectful to any other schools but it's fitting or almost fitting that it is SP vs Gordonsville in the quarters.

We were down at halftime to Gordy last year.  They stopped us on our first drive of the 3rd quarter but our punt took a fortunate bounce off a Tiger and we recovered.   

Survive and Advance.

I expect South Pitt to roll, but I thought the same last year and it was a dog fight for awhile.   With that said, the future is bright for the Tigers..

Hard fought 2 quarter game with starters starting the third and young one playing the 4th.It is what it is!

Exactly how it’s been lately. The young men are staying focused and still playing hard. I said it last night, I believe SP is still improving with every game they play! 
 Have to stay healthy though, still a couple games ahead of them if the want to reach their goal!
