Read the whole article that Stephen Hargis had written. Not playing Redbank and Jasper he said cost his program $40,000 dollars. That's a substantial hit. Given what I read if it is accurate, It seems the staff at SP made every accommodation to try and play the game. When Marion was willing to play in 3 days due to a weather related issue but not play now with the same 3 days on a Saturday that's a really bad look. None of my business but the facts seem to be in order.

I am confused. I read in a Hamilton County newspaper that said  Marion County was doing everything in their power to reschedule the game with South Pittsburg. Is this not true?. I cannot imagine an administration not trying to play one of the greatest high school rivalries in Tennessee. I don't remember the papers name. I read alot of different sports papers on line.

No, he made a comment that if we both had open dates at any other time in the season he would entertain that option to play.  To play Sequatchie with just 3 days practice but not us is cowardly.  Plus they already practiced all last week to prepare for us.  PLUS, most teams only practice in pads 1-2 days, then the rest is in shorts and helmet doing walkthroughs.  I know we hardly practice in pads anymore, definitely 1 day but sometimes 2 depending on how hard the kids practice and how much effort they put into it.  It’s ridiculous and IMO it’s a means to something bigger down the road.  There’s more to it.  Gotta be.

Keep checking on here to see if things have changed and it seems to just get worse. When I say it breaks my heart it really does because this rivalry is something to be truly proud of and I grew up a lot being in it myself as many of us have. Da shame that an outsider caused this cause he thinks he's something because of who his son is. What really bothers me more is the Jasper community allowed it to happen. Hard to watch my language because I'd really have more I'd like to say. As always great day to be a Pirate. Let's go get a gold ball and leave these neighbors in our rearview

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
