South Pittsburg Pirates Are Blazing Hot!

[JohnWardForever]

Last Friday beat North Jackson AL, 62-0. Through 6 games, the Pirates have outscored their opponents 316-21. Out frickin rageous! BTW, their colors are Orange & Black! Look a lot like UT's dark mode.

When you get big transfers in 1a it’s pretty easy to get better.

Scottsboro thrashed North Jackson too. Makes me happy to see our cross county rival struggle.

Everyone knows Lodge University is pay to play and recruits players. All three of the teams from Marion are doing pretty good this year.

Ironically, North Jackson recruited players away from South Pittsburg back in the 90s. Remember Kenny Smith? Most UT fans should know that name. Once RD Hicks passed away, the money dried up and now North Jackson is a shell of a program.

My boy Justin manhandled Kenny the whole game our senior year.

May be true, but South Pitt has been at or near the top of class A since LP BEENE became Head Coach. That's 70+ Years. They get some players in, but the majority are legacy players who followed their Grandparents in playing for the Pirates. The community support is unsurpassed; which is a big part of the success. Talent is important, but you still have to Coach them. I understand Opponents are a little jealous.

I played against South Pitt back in the fall of 85 and 86. In 85 they had Cisco (spelling?) and ran the single wing. They were VERY good. In 86 it was that same single wing, run game, racking up yards with a different RB.
They knocked us out of the play offs both those years and a few other times in years following.
