South Pittsburg vs Marion County (Pirates vs Warriors)

[SportsnetWriter2]

I know this is a huge rivalry down in the Chattanooga area! Aside from being cross town rivals is there anything else that adds fuel to the fire for the hate against Marion County?! I know there’s been some good games between the two in the past. I’m just genuinely curious what makes this rivalry so fierce.

First of all it's South Pittsburg vs Jasper. Get that right and then we can add to it. If any SP fans call them by the other name they are not true Pirates or never played a sport for SP ever.

You'd just have to live here to know. But, Stephen Hargis, The Chattanooga Times sports guru wrote a book called 8 hateful miles that will give you all you need to know about this rivalry.

The Pirates don't play Meigs County this week.  They have Jasper at home.

Ask Jasper where the stains on their own field house come from. Sure you will get some different answers

It's not really that fierce. I mean yes, the game was cancelled once because there was a threat of violence because of the game the year before. Yes, parades were monitored because there there would possibly be a problem from opposing teams fans. Yes, one team did spray round up on the other team's field and tear down the goal posts. And one team did paint their own field house and blame it on the other team. Yes, one teams fans did beat on the ambulance and cuss out the kid that was being taken away while flipping him off through the windows. But I wouldn't say it was fierce. It's just South Pitt and jasper.

Not a fierce rivalry just our way of life. It's great day to be a Pirate and Friday will be even better

I can't believe that the SP/Jasper boarder war thread is into the third page and nobody's said it yet... wait for it...
