MarionCo1182 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I heard today that South Pittsburg declined Marion County's invitation to renew the State's oldest rivalry starting in 2023. Most people know that South Pittsburg's former head coach Chris Jones cancelled the rivalry and then resigned after only a couple of games. Both the new coaches know what this rivalry means and all the credit goes to the MC staff for trying to renew this great rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustedCoverage Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Would hurt to see in the news that Marion reeled up 300 + yards rushing most likely. Any other reason not to play st this point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that M.C. call up Murfreesboro Riverdale to start a rivalry with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoyDillard Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) I heard this same mess. Not a good look for my Pirates. I would be watching my grandson at Jasper the next few years anyway.

pegleg Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 With the bad blood between these teams it is best that the rivalry take a break. I won’t go into it here but for you late to the game, look up the news story’s from November 1, 2013. I have a ESPN video story about what happened but will not post it here due to embarrassing MC.. I say let’s start anew by ending this rivalry for good. It’s not good for the players or fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have heard this before and the kids done great. I’ve seen two teams that hated each other, I have seen two teams that showed more class then the parents off the field. If you want to get into embarrassing stories, then go ahead because Pittsburg stories are just as embarrassing.
