South Pittsburg @ Meigs County (Captain Victory vs Tiger King Fitz)

Recommended Posts

The Pirates travel to Tiger country in a showdown of two undefeated heavyweights. Heavyweights?  Yeah,  heavyweights. 

The Pirates of South Pittsburg are ranked #1 in Class 1A in the latest AP poll while Meigs County is currently ranked #2 in Class 2A in the AP.  But more importantly the Tigers are once again ranked #1 in the SouthTown poll. 

Meigs graduated last years Superman Swafford but look to have a more rounded and balanced team this time around.

While the Pirates graduated several across the offensive and defensive lines they still come in with skill guys galore.  

Pirates are led by legendary Captain Victory and some say it may be his last hurrah at the helm but who really knows.

Meigs County is led by the King himself.  Tiger King Fitz who led his squad to the 2A title game just last year.

Who will come out on top in this one?  How do you see this one playing out?  Who has the advantages?  The Orange and Black Pirates or the Orange and Black Tigers?

Grider vs Fitz

Pirates vs Tigers

Part Deux. 

Thoughts?

Go....

Ready to see how we play after not being on the field in so long. Ready to see how we react to being tested for the first time. Ready to see if our line can step up to the challenge. READY TO FINALLY SEE THE PIRATES BACK IN ACTION. 

We haven't been close to being tested so it will be interesting to see what we do when someone punches back. 

Will the long layoff hurt, or will it really matter? One thing, we should be pretty good on the injury front. And, since the coaches haven't had to prepare for anyone, that means they've basically had 3 weeks to get ready for this one. I doubt they've spent three weeks practicing for Meigs, but they've had plenty of time to game plan.

That my friend is the question ive wondered myself! 

 I'm sure the coaches have thought about this as well and have the game plan in place to come out with a W! Just a little on edge with a game like this after a long 2 week lay off!808AAA72-260C-4FCC-ACB9-1A2C93271F09.jpeg.0d2adc83eb5a1bd156184d3a2f17f910.jpeg

Didnt seem to affect you all last year when Redbank game was cancelled due to weather.

That's the best part about games like this. Going in not sure if your team will win or not. At least that's what I like about it. I rewatched our game of last year and It really was a good game with yall coming out on top. Hope its competitive like it was last year. There were some massive hits in that game I had forgotten about. I thought about posting some highlights of last years game, but I'm not sure how the coaches would feel about it. You never know.

Excited about the opportunity to finally watch the Pirates play a game. There isn’t any ticket drama with this one is there? I went up the road to the Marion and Bledsoe game last night. 

Last I was told we were selling tickets till this past Friday. Meigs sent you 300 tickets I believe according to a post I had read by Southtowner.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
