This game was intense when the Cougars use to have those tombstones on the hill leading down to the field. That was always intimidating. Now, not so much. Pirates put this one away early.

I will say this though, Pirates need to play under control and clean up the penalties. Let your talents do the talking.

Grider used those “Tombstones” to fire up his team on Thursday before a big CB game  by placing them on Pirates field. One for each of his backfield. Back when people were less serious…lol

“All football announcers will start out with, “get the ball to your play makers”Wallace is a play maker. 

Old Pirate ain’t never seen as many Hail Marys attempted as in that Fueding at FC. The Pirates musta encouraged them Rebels too, theys caught on rather quick and started the rock around. Neither one looked good at it neither. The Pirates drop least a half dozen to the house interceptions. Looks like a HEEP to ditch them fancy gloves and mess theys seen on TV, it weren’t wet nor cold either. Figures the Pirates is proving to be skillet heads be fer theys gots a skillet slinger! Ferget trying to be cute, shut your mouth and let the score do all the talking! YepReconSo

Muggy, humid, sweaty, sticky hot night.  Everything & everyone was wet, including the gloves.  I saw lots of players ditching theirs.  

We had them beat over the top several times with those hail marys.   Just didn't connect on em.

Yes, we dropped several ints &  a couple of them were clear sailing to the house.

In other news, many alumni at basin have come together to launch an alumni association. We have never had one at copper basin before as far as I know. Hopefully something like this will help turn the program around and save it from falling off completely!

That may be just what the program needs to start heading in the right direction.

While it won't help on the field right now, it can help generate interest in the community and in the school. That's where it can start.

To be a championship program you have to model great programs around. Every powerhouse team has alumni involvement, as well as financial backing. Although that stuff can’t win you ball games, it is definitely a step in right direction.

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
