South Pittsburg Picked No. 1 In District 6-A

South Pittsburg has been picked No. 1 in the Coaches' Predictions in Murphy Fair's Tennessee High School Football magazine.

The Pirates, coached by Tim Moore, lost to Union City in the 1A state championship game last year. It was Moore's first season as head coach.

Moore has concerns with depth this season, especially on the defensive side where only four starters return.
