A question that will never have a definite answer.

Some will say 62, some 69. Others will say 94, 98, 99, 07. Still others will throw in different years. 74, 85, 86. Each one obviously had it's own strengths to make it one of the best but there will be little agreement on just which one is THE 1.

 

I'll just throw out an odd one ... 1924. The first team ever. They went undefeated and set the standard we live by today.

I was looking up the history of SP the other night and thought this was a good read . They sure do have the history if the first team ever was unblemished, seems they just continued to hone their skills from ‘24- ‘69. Wonder how many championships they would have had if they had a better ranking system in those other years?

Wow interesting. I really like hearing the history of some small town football teams. Especially being one with such a great winning tradition and one I see play my Gordonsville Tigers in the playoffs a lot of years. Thanks for the info!

Oh, if you like history then wait until @rlh gets on here. I've got a bit of history and so do many others, but it pales in comparison to what he can bring to the table.

Fun fact.  2nd time SP & Gordy played was SP's 1980 home coming on Halloween night.  Gordy rolled in as the #1 team in the state and rolled out of town with a 36 or 38 - 0 butt whipping. SP lost the last game of the season 7 - 6 and missed the playoffs because only 1 team from each district made the playoffs.  There were 3 classes that included the privates.

    • We are optimistic because we will have another great season. You should keep your opinions on your Forrest Rocket board. These kiddos at Marion have had an amazing off season. They are working hard and it is showing. Coach TStark is getting these kids scholarships to get their college for free. Also Coach Harm is back so this is another awesome thing for our kiddos. Forrest will get theirs when they come to Bill Baxter Stadium this season. My main men Sam, Tay and Tilton are going to do amazing things this season. You should just watch and see what these kiddos are capable of doing. The Marion County Warriors are a force to be reckoned with again this year. East Robertson will be a good team again but that is the only big challenge this team will have again. If we can beat East Robertson like I know we can then we will go to the state championship and win the game. As always it is a great day to be a warrior. Go Warriors! We are Marion!
    • The player is only able to go because of the coach who is his dad. The dad is a recruiter not a good coach. HC blamed him for losing the Clinton game in the playoffs. 
    • I coached both Copeland and Jordan along with Tanner Wilson, Ryan Weaver, Mason Sharp, and Caleb Rittenhouse to name a few.
    • If OR or Farragut are within 21 points I’ll cash app u $20.
