Marion County vs. South Pittsburg .....WITHOUT question!  The only way to describe this rivalry is the Hatfields vs. the McCoys....on STEROIDS!  To quote the article below, the last time this game was canceled was due to fear of violence at the game.  Last years game not only made national headlines, it was int he news in England as well.  When it comes to rivalries.... there is no equal!!!

The states oldest continuous meeting. I'm sure there are a lot of other heated rivalries but I can't imagine any being more intense. If you are going to harass a player as he is taken out of the stadium in an ambulance that's pretty dang heated.

Read comment above. Lol

I understand what you men about me not knowing about the rivalry, but that's no excuse in my book for someone to act that way over a mere ballgame. Their are a lot more serious things in our lives than a ballgame. Sometimes you just have to put things in life in perspective. If someone is putting that much emphasis on a football game then their priorities in life are WAY out of whack. I dislike football teams in HS and pro and college, but I cant for the life of me ever envision myself (no matter how big the rivalry is) to taunt a fellow human whether I like them or dislike them when they're seriously hurt and anybody that does under any circumstance has major league issues. That's my point.

    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
