You still fixated with us?  

As soon as the football practice schedule is posted on the TSSAA website,  I'll send you a copy. 

Make sure you get it to your new recruits.

I already have it.

You better hope that's not last years schedule.

You better hope y’all get more recruits than last year.

Why?  Are there that many coca cola job openings for families with athletes at the Tribe of Many Nations?

We have an upcoming senior 3 year starter returning @ QB, lost 1 WR/backup QB. Pirates are thin in lineman. Injuries there would really hurt. Early reports are 70+ out with several charted to provide depth in the line but young & playing time needed to be a factor. Another 6-5 WR that has missed due to injury is a hopeful key piece.

You are a running team. Your inability to pass the ball and mix up the offense has kept you from the gold ball in recent years. Wouldn’t getting a starting qb and wr from another school be considered “filling a need”in your case?

We had a 3 year starter that was out in the semi-final game.  Our top deep threat receiver was the back qb (Hubbard) who was a good q.b., but he can't throw it across the middle or deep to himself.  Don't worry.  That 3 year starter is a senior this year.  As far as the run, duh.  We have always been a running team.  We have also had teams that can pass, but often don't have to live and die by the pass because we have been able to break a 95 yard td run.  That said, the longest td pass in a state title game was Jake Stone to Antonio Chub.  Stone threw out of the end zone and Chub ran under it at the 47 yard line.  It went down as a 98 yd td pass.  That play was also the play of the year for every football game played that year.

I am still trying to figure out who last years recruits were.

And we got a bogus dead ball penalty on that play.

Anyone thinking 1A may be down somewhat across the board?  We had 4 very solid teams last year & 5-6 the year before.

1a will still probably have 3-4 teams that I would consider good. I doubt anyone will be as tough as Lake this year not as explosive as GB last year but I've been wrong before.

If Clay County can replace their QB, they might be a little sleeper team....until they play us of course

The road to the semifinals will go through a region 4 team this year.  I can't see our region 3 runner up winning out in the bottom portion of the bracket.  

I'm gonna go ahead and say it.  The road to Cookeville runs through South Pittsburg this year.  Of course we will need to strengthen our line play and continue to be a force on defense the way we have the last few years.  Those 2 things will be key.

Lake county and Huntington are the early favorites to win the west imo, but if freedom prep returns a lot of players and doesn’t cheat They could contend for a spot. Fayetteville/cornersville are sleepers, I’d say hunt land but I believe they lost a lot of starters this year. The East is south Pittsburg’s to lose imo
