The Gordonsville High School football team’s Cinderella run through the Class 1A playoffs will face its toughest obstacle when the Big Blue travels to South Pittsburg for a meeting with the undefeated Pirates. South Pittsburg has been atop the Associated Press Class 1A poll for most of the season as they have rolled their way to an 11-0 record. Gordonsville entered the postseason with a 3-7 record as the third seed out of Region 4-1A .
The Tigers topped Region 3A No. 2 seed Copper Basin 20-6 on the road in the opening round. Last Friday night, Gordonsville hosted fourth-seeded Whitwell at Turney Ford Field after the visiting Tigers upset Region 4-1A champion Monterey in the first round. The blue-and-white clad Tigers took down Whitwell 17-7 in a physical and low scoring affair — setting up another playoff meeting with the Pirates. The Gordonsville-South Pittsburg playoff rivalry includes 14 previous battles with the Pirates owning a 9-5 advantage in the clashes.
The two programs met last season in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs at Turney Ford Field as the Pirates won 27-14 in a battle for Class 1A heavyweights.
