Crazy to think I’ve been around long enough to remember all these but the ‘79 and ‘80 game. I was still a young whippersnapper and can’t remember those matchups. But I remember all the rest. Lucky enough to have played in the ‘86 and ‘87 games. Good times. Been a lot of good and fun games over the years and hopefully will be many more. Just wish we could start winning a few more of them :roflol:

I played in those 86 and 87 games as well.

Gordy rolled into South Pittsburg on Halloween night in 1980 ranked as the number 1 team in the old Class A.  It was the Pirates Homecoming and we threw the biggest Halloween Party in the state of Tennessee that night to the tune of 38 - 0 Pirate victory.  Gordy was supposed to whip SP all over the field. 

Our best stretch of football was for sure the late 70’s through ‘87. Some of those late 70’s and early 80’s teams missed the playoffs with 1 loss. Never have heard any stories from the real old timers about the 79 or 80 game against SP. I will have to ask around about that. I’ve always loved hearing the stories from my father about games before my time

Shaker U coming to Beene Stadium and Vic Grider field. Gordy fans are loud.

Our fans have been rather subdued this year. Especially the last 2 weeks with it being playoff time. We have had rather small crowds, even at home with good weather. I guess that’s what happens when you go into the playoffs at 6-4. Our fans can be rather spoiled thinking it’s a birthright to go to the quarters or further lately. I expect us to travel well. I hope so anyways. These kids deserve to have the support of the community

I'm sure Mighty Martin will be there

According to past players..Gordonsville is the toughest atmosphere to play at according to noise level. The fans should turn out this week.

In no particular order these were the loudest for me personally

Gordy

Trousdale 

Signal Mountain in early 2010s  

Can’t speak for Signal Mountain but our place is for sure a tough spot to play. In my opinion, I think the atmosphere at Turney Ford has fallen off a little bit but still a tough spot.

Same goes for the Creekbank in TC, if the Jackets are good. Good luck going there and coming home with a win. It took us from ‘87 to this year to get another win over there

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
