SP Pirates @ Dade Co (Stone Man & Granite Grider vs Wolverine Poston)

[Southtowner]

I went ahead and created this website to talk about our upcoming game against these Wolverines from Trenton Georgia. 

Another battle with a bordering state.  After the Pirates rallied from behind in the 1st ever meeting against the Chiefs of North Jackson,  can the Pirates build some much needed confidence? 

I don't know where Roy is.  The last I heard he was last seen galloping off  on that Hollis mans mascot horse.   

Thoughts?

I was told that Cooper man down there that is the AD knows all that Stone mans secrets and he told them to his son so he can run wild on us.

I would say pirates by a bunch, but I said that last week.  I think stoney will get em together and start rolling.

I think this game should be a regular season game every year.  They are close, and they are competitive.  That Cooper man was a great multi sport athlete at SP.  He had a lot of successful programs come through SP as well.  I guarantee that Cooper man didn’t know that Stone man’s reverse flea flicker that won us the game at NJ.

Northwest Georgia Wolverines have been so bad over the years they had to change their name to Dade County. In reality they were called Northwest Georgia originally because Davis on Sand Mountain and the school on Lookout Mountain were consolidated with Trenton to form Northwest Georgia High School.  After several decades went by, the name was changed.  SP pummeled Northwest down there in 1978 and Dade County at home a couple of years ago. I think this will be the 3rd meeting.

I’m predicting another good game this week.  This SP team has some talent at the skill spots but our receivers, quarterback, and running back are bigger than our offensive line. I love the pirates but this is the weakest team we have had in awhile.

Does it get better next year losing all the skill players that you do?

I wouldn’t think so. Just my opinion though.

You know the answer to that lol. Warriors have better talent the next few years and it starts up front.

Pirate 2003 is correct though. Our O line does their best. They play hard. They just don’t have the God-given talent and strength that the last several years line has had. For this reason, SP needed a miracle to beat NJ. Mount, Kelley, and Hunter run for their lives.

Our O line is obviously our biggest weakness but last Friday it was a lot more than that. The coaching situation is hurting more than what most want to admit. We looked lost for most of the game on offense. I'm not blaming the current coaches they both were delt a bad hand but I believe they are going to have to go back to an offense they are comfortable with ( I know that's near impossible at this point in the season) I still think this team is better than what most are giving them credit for but one thing I don't understand is why so many athletes are sitting on the sidelines on defense and offense. In my many years of watching Sp football and going back to just about every state title team most played both ways.

Makes sense to Have your best 11 always on the field,only reason not to go both ways with stud athletes would be conditioning imo ! But I haven’t seen a  “out of shape “ Pirate team since my time in Tennessee ! I can only imagine the pressure on the coaches, lots of expectations in South Pitt, and for good reason, been the standard in the a purty darn long time now ! GL Whooping those Trenton GA boys, hope you see some other Trenton boys later on, fingers crossed !!!!!!!

With only 3 games under our belt I personally think we could still switch back to varying versions of the wing T. I believe this would be a better fit for our current line situation. Much less time they need to try and sustain their blocks . It would also give us the ability to rotate a lot more skill guys in and out. As always, that’s just the opinion of this old timer. Go Pirates.
