South Pittsburg vs Marion County (Pirates vs Warriors)

[OLD PIRATE]

Coacht fellers, Old Pirate says them Jasperlite jailhouse fellers been skeerd before, But never turned tail and skidaddled. They’d have always mostly been wannabes, figure they got plum skeerd to death this time. The stinch from around the jailhouse is nasty. They’s done good job at running from teams they felt intimidated by. You fellers remember when they’s dropped Boyd, more recently dropped Whitwell during their recent glory, now dropping teams to play weaker teams to pad the win column. Old Pirate knowd when the longest continuous rival in the state of Tennessee suddenly stopped, it would be Jasper throwing in the towel. That’s the way they roll. Hopefully the SP administration will stop all athletic association with JASPER. Recon them jailhouse kinfolkes have pulled 1 too many shenanigans. YepReconSo

I’ll say this. If everything y’all are saying is true about us trying to schedule other opponents instead of playing SP then that’s very disheartening and embarrassing. I will say this also. Playing the day we get out of 14 day quarantine is asking for a disaster regardless of who the opponent will be.

It's true. I agree with you on the competing after 14 days off but at the same time I think it's just this years season. Let's say this was the last two weeks of the regular season and then playoffs start....do you skip that or play? A lot of questions to be answered by every football team in the coming weeks/months.

By late spring, the Jasperites will be talking about consolidation again.  My consolidation plan consists of closing Jasper and sending all the kids in the north half of the county to Whitwell, and the southern half to South Pittsburg.  Problem solved.

This may sting a little, but thought you may wanna know. Massey has the Pirates with the forfeit loss vs Marion. Not sure who inputs that, but needs fixed if you know who to talk too.

From my understanding it wasn’t playing the down you got out of quarantine. I believe you would have had 3 full days of practice before playing on the fourth day out of it. Most people knew what the outcome would have been anyway, but I would have liked to see it get played for the sake of the consecutive streak. Obviously that’s not important to the Marion administration though.

Everyone knew after they played Sequatchie that we would light their butts up. They knew it too. Still leave the blood and guts on the field. Boys become men but not if your coach and administration want you to be something less than men. Hope the parents will revolt and fix the problem Jasper is having

The most recent excuse is that it's too dangerous to play the game with only three days of practice...... Didn't they move the Sequatchie game to Thursday because of weather? With only three days of practice?

I hate to say it but maybe we should just move on and leave them behind. Heartbreaking

I agree!    I'm not positive but I believe Fyffe has an open date that week.  Would love to see that game played.

If the TSSAA and the Alabama Association wouldn’t let NJ and Boyd play, do you think they’d let us play Fyffe, or any Bama team?  Wonder why they wouldn’t let NJ and Boyd play?

That is a great question not sure what the issue would have been.  Could have been something outside of Covid.  Its always worth a shot. All they could say is no.  It would be great for both teams and would bring a nice gate.
