This one made ESPN 10 years ago and the current suspended head coach was in the middle of it. 1 game Jones wasn't a temp Coach. He just can't stay put. He is already with another CFL team.

So you’re telling me that a Jasper team that got destroyed in the playoffs would have won against a Sp team that won it all and that it was an excuse not to play them exactly 1 year after they cancelled the game an hour before kickoff to avoid being embarrassed for yet another year?

Fransis "Swamp Fox" Marion had Banestre Tarleton and his superiors' knickers in a knot. In fact that is where the nickname came from. The British sent Tarleton to destroy him. Tarleton chased his unit for over 26 miles through a South Carolina swamp, resulting in Tarleton supposedly saying "as for this darned old fox, the Devil himself could not catch him."

I think they lost 7-0 in the playoffs with an injured qb. I wouldn't call that destroyed. Also the covid canceled game was just a couple weeks after they had beaten Fayetteville who sadly beat our Pirates in the title game.

Jasper had 3 linemen out and still dominated the line of scrimmage. Also Fayetteville best rb didn't even play in the title game.

I'm telling you the perception from around the state. One year after Marion cancelled for Covid reasons and was mercilessly ragged on here for being chicken. South Pitt cancels the series for a just as bogus a reason. Marion County was a different team with a mobile QB. They only had a 6 week window where everything was in place in 2021 and they were very good. The SP game would have fallen in that window, Now's the part where if you've paid attention you'll remember SP was a cluster at the beginning of 2021. It's a testament to the interim coaches that they finished as strong as they did. The rivalry is good for the players, the communities, and the entire state of TN high school football. The adults in the county need to get their acts together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been in the middle of 10 years of shenanigans which were perpetrated by the adults. Jasper dodged Whitwell in 2017 & 2018. Lastly, your claim SP is afraid to play Jasper is ludicrous. https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/10/30/tssaa-football-brawl-shelbyville-franklin-county-banned-2020-2021-playoffs/6083260002/ Edited August 19, 2022 by rlh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
