Honestly he has not played like a 5 star this year. Slow and takes a lot of plays off. 

Since when was the Kid a 5 star? That’s total news to me! Tell me 1 thing he has done to impress this year? As Tyrone says “ I’m just keeping it real “

He’s a 3 star..good on the line…could use him on TE seam routes

All Day!!! I saw him do a good Job at Nose when we had one Team run the middle. He did shut that down

Now we have a Sophomore that was selected to Play in the all United States Bowl in San Antonio Texas. Last week he had 2 interceptions and 1 returned for a TD

With the big TE 5 star kid being out, can Gordonsville keep it pretty close? The big win last year gives them a boost of confidence, I think.

SP doesn’t have any 5 star. I believe the kid was a 3 star kid back last spring.

I feel like all kids who go to college now are at least a 3 star lol

Old Pirate says, When the Hale has it been ok for SP fans to bash individual Pirate 17-18 kids? Those hiding behind screen names probably couldn’t hold their jock straps! Ya’ll posts support yous got Warrior genes. WTH,  Get that mess out of here! Negative mess helps or supports Nothing  but division & ignorance. Venom served. Pirates are going to do some earholing & defends the Speedway. There would  be some embarrassed, if identities & playing  days exposed. GO PIRATES, you Vol fans are laughable. The biggest maturing needed is the fans.

Hope you don’t think I was bashing….simply meant I have seen other players who have stepped up and needs to be recognized for their play. 
Now as far as hiding your name, I will be glad to give mine how about you? And I sure as heck don’t want to be linked to the purple.

On a consistent basis you typically hear from 4 teams in the east. South Pittsburg, Gordonsville, Greenback, and Coalfield. 3/4 are now in the 3rd round looking to make some noise as usual.

For this game, let’s look at some keys for the Pirates.

1) How do the Pirates replace the frame of Collins. There are not too many 6’4 260 lb bodies floating around on the team.

2) Can the Pirates play disciplined football and remain hot offensively?

3) Will the O line be able to hold up and get a push against Gordonsville’s front 7?

For the Tigers

1) Do they lean on the experience of Coach Jackson defensively? Being a defensive coordinator for Oakland for years you know he has a game plan in store to limit the Pirates.

2) Can Gordonsville steal a possession or two? Turnovers are huge in every game, but playing on the road against a talented turnovers are huge. I would also watch for some special teams trickery.

3) Speaking of trickery, watch for any trick plays. The Pirates defense flys to the ball and is very aggressive. It was a trick play in the mid to late 2010’s that got Greenback on the board and all the momentum needed to beat the Pirates in the playoffs a few years back. I would expect a “kitchen sink” mindset.

With that said, I still say teams have issues matching up with the Pirates. Try taking away the pass and you are susceptible to the run. Try matching an unbalanced line and Kamden has the wheel to take it to the house. Try stacking the box and the passing game will be on full display. I expect a tighter game but a Pirates win.

@TheBlueprint 2 kids I want you to watch tomorrow night  51 Cameron Grider and 50 Ranye Tipton. Both have wonderful stories of determination and perseverance. Both play with a huge heart. Cameron has improved so much over his career and Ranye gets overlooked at times by his 5’5 size. Both are solid players for the Pirates!
