Please. Y'all don't do anything like this...



They play fantastic football in Cleveland county. The best in the state if you ask me. Why a team like Shelby that wins state championship after state championship doesn't get the support that Pisgah gets is beyond me. Maybe they take it for granted down there. The fact is, the rivalry with Crest isn't bigger than Pisgah/Tuscola because they just don't care about it like we do up here. They never have and they never will. The question is why in the world don't they?!

Help me out Cleveland county folks! Why don't those fantastic teams draw the big crowds that Pisgah/Tuscola get year after year?

Because all ya'll have to look forward too is playing each other, while crest and shelby look at playing for state. You can't see the forest because of the trees in front of you.

That's a good question, I can remember used to easily draw 6,000 to 8,000 every year. In 2015 there was close to 14,000 I was told. However the last few years probably more like 3,000 to 4,000. I'm sure Covid probably is the cause of some of it. I just don't see the number of students at games like you used to. I guess they have to much other stuff to do and some of the older crowd physically can't go anymore or have unfortunately passed on. It's just more fun when it's a packed out and folks are on the banks. I was lucky enough to go to Pisah when Shelby played there in 2006 and it is a great atmosphere.

That game is up on youtube and its an absolute classic! The best Pisgah team we've had since those mid 70's state championship squads. Just not quite good enough to beat another fantastic Lions squad.

Dude in the Crest HSC said he would hit over $80K tonight and probably top out at over $100k.

Maybe just head to the high school? I honestly don't know. I got mine from a football player at Crest. The horseshoe club sponsor's might be selling them. "THATS ANOTHER CSI MECHANICAL FIRST DOWN!!!"
