TMobile Spirit Challenge 2. “Your Town Your Story” South Pittsburg High School is the centerpiece of our small town. We are the smallest school in our county, but we remain the biggest in tradition and have remained the standard for over a century. We are most well known for 3 things here in South Pittsburg. Lodge Cast Iron, The National Cornbread Festival, and South Pittsburg Pirate football. We have several important traditions that surround our program. One of the those traditions is being the only school in the state regardless of classification to play in a state championship game in every decade of the current playoff system that started in 1969. We have important traditions such as the playing of “Bad Company” for our “Pirate Walk” at home games, the Pirate ship walk over by our players before entering the field, and of course the firing of the cannon on touchdowns. South Pittsburg High School is known by everyone as being the first and original “Dark Mode” school with our iconic all black uniforms. Some of the familiar family names that have been iconic here through the decades are one of the other reasons that make our program special. Our community shuts the town down on Friday nights for Pirate football in the fall. A grand prize win in the T-Mobile FN5GL contest would be beneficial to all of our athletic programs here at South Pittsburg HS as well as for our community. Continue to vote daily and let’s fight until the end! Go Pirates! #TraditionStartsHere #FN5GL #Entry @SPHSPIRATES @TMobile

Ok Pirates another day means another chance to vote! We are still in the running to be a Division Champion and win a Grand Prize that includes a $90,000 Gronk weight room upgrade and $250,000 from T-Mobile. We are also 1 of only 40 schools nationwide still in the running for the ultimate $1,000,000 GRAND PRIZE- and now we need our entire community behind us. Check out our Spirit Challenge below.
