About the Book

In the heart of the Bible belt, only one thing could drive folks to set aside the good Lord's commandment to love thy neighbor--one of the state's longest and most combative high-school football rivalries. Located about 25 miles west of Chattanooga, hard by the Alabama state line and in an area with more pride than prosperity, the level of football achievement at Marion County and South Pittsburg--separated by just eight miles--has fueled the rivalry's intensity for nearly a century. South Pittsburg is the only school in the state that has played for a state championship in all six decades that Tennessee has held a playoff system, while Marion County once reeled off a streak of 56-1 that included four state titles in five years. The proximity and pride of the communities is what energizes the atmosphere of the games. Familiarity truly does breed contempt across Eight Hateful Miles.

About the Author :
Having seen every game in the series since the mid-1970s-first as a student at South Pittsburg, then as a Chattanooga sports writer beginning in 1990-Stephen Hargis brings a unique perspective to Tennessee's most quarrelsome prep football rivalry. Having covered all but one of the nine state championship seasons by the two programs, Stephen brings each of those title runs to life with a mixture of history and humor. He takes you right into the locker rooms as coaches prepare for each big game, and onto the sidelines to hear the trash-talking between players. Stephen brings to life the ultra-competitive characters on both sides as he weaves the heartfelt personal stories of coaches, players, and supporters from the community who give the colorful rivalry so much of its energy.

Review :
"I have seen the passion for football in South Pittsburg and Marion County from two sides--as a journalist and, on a frenzied Friday night, as a member of the officiating crew when my judgment and ancestry were both questioned. Stephen Hargis has perfect vision when it comes to this rivalry, sharing with the reader the memories of great games and stories of unforgettable characters." -Mark McCarter, award-winning former columnist for the Huntsville Times "Stephen has compiled a treasure of great stories over a long history of this Hollywood-type rivalry to create a book that will quickly become one of your favorites. This book will be one you can't put down, no matter where you live or how far you are from a great high-school rivalry. Now, Eight Hateful Miles will be the book I read every August. You will love this book!" -Randy Winton, author of In My Shoes and It's All True: Living by Faith in a Funky World, as well as veteran sportswriter who grew up closely watching the Marion County versus South Pittsburg rivalry
