Now that I just made that last poast  - somebody remind me, was Grundy in the old SVC? Seems like they were so we could have 8 teams?

From North to South - Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Whitwell, Jasper, South Pittsburg, (Grundy??), Bridgeport and Stevenson

Whats the name of your dog in this race?

Grundy was in the SVC and use to play some good ball.

I hate the fact that old rivalry has faded into the past, and politics of sports have ruined a good thing. It hurts the schools financially - SP / NJ / Jasper games could all be big gates with little more cost than a home game, for the away team. I guess I am not smart enough to understand why you would not drive  < 12 miles to play people you know in front of a big crowd. Plus it's a non-conference game, not counting in the big scheme of getting that shiny ball everyone wants - it might even help if the competition is good.

Last thought - the boys miss out on suiting up, and going against a buddy or even kinfolk.

Let old PP68 learn you a thang or two. NJ quit playing us. We handed them their first loss in school history when they came to Jasper and Pumpy Tudors steamrolled them. The following year we hung their first loss at home on them. We had an All State qb that was on kickoffs and just so happened that a NJ kid that never played picked a fight with him and he got tossed before playing a snap. We put in a 2nd string qb and won that one I believe 30-28. (That 2nd string qb led us to a state title a couple years later though.) They had no interest in playing anymore. Would they play now?? I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I explained that in an earlier post but I guess he stepped on his spectacles.

I remember that NJ game very well. I believe it as a NJ kid that was on the kickoff team that never played who intentionally picked the fight.
