Did mt.p really chant F...  C.A.  with no consequences??

Coach was not worried, and the announcer said Doug was right where they wanted to be in the 4th ???

Loretto Wins!   Memphis  loses!

Country boys looking good

Not over but Memphis can’t handle weathers

any S town seniors that transferred in to play ball or is everyone homegrown?

Put it all in jeopardy with the dumb foul with no time on clock, but refs bailed her out

Star nearly cost them the game. Bob her coach should have cost them the game. Should have been a T with ejection

State final 4 and two Mr. Basketball finalist in the past 15 years. Our school is so small we don't even have a football team, but the team our school co-ops with won the 2010 state championship. In the fact the quarterback of that team left CA in middle school to play for a MCPS. 

That was when the Columbia guys came to play?  Good for you.   Didn’t you help central win state in bowling as well?  QB had ability to play with the bigs, that’s where he needed to be.  Central was great at that classification, but couldn’t compete in 6A. Like other MCPS, their programs have been off in recent years

Again 1 title and yes we all remember that epic beat down in the state finals vs Perry County. 

Yes, that was a great basketball team.  People that watched the entire tourney thought that perry co had the best team in all classes. 3 pt shooters and the big man on his way to play for bobby Knight were awesome.    CA loss in soccer and football were also to public schools.  Funny, public schools beating a private. So it can be done, just not in Maury Co?  That is a public problem.   Tell us about your schools accomplishments

It's amazing how all these private school people have so many solutions to public school issues. It's obvious they know what their talking about with all the state championships CA has won over the years....oh wait they've won one, in baseball, in 1994. 

One title, along with  finals in soccer, softball, and  basketball. Semis in football.  That softball final series featured 3 amazing ladies that went on to play for the lady vols.  The basketball  finals loss was to a small town public school, perry county.  They have nice collection of  state championships!

Yeah losing to a team for a third straight time this season and by 21 in the district championship is one heck of a formula. CA beat Richland by 22 in the district championship, what about Richlands formula?

State championship in baseball, girls playing in championship game today, boys not in tourney only because they couldn’t get past the other A school in Lawrence county, also in the state tourney, also holding a baseball title. Stown softball, volleyball, baseball basketball all have recent state appearances

The Consultant...never got reply so let me add a little more.  

#1 you said Facilities and fundraising - You say go out and raise it...How can PUBLIC schools like Richland, Mt Pleasant, Santa Fe, Culleoka, Summertown, Hampshire, Frank Hughes raise the money that a school like CA can...They don't have an "ANDERSON" to build a 5-10 million dollar facility.  Heck most of these schools don't have a too many "major" businesses in their immediate area, let alone people who have money to give to build a big huge gym.  As far as fundraising, most of them do plenty of it, most of them hit up the same small group of people, who live in communities that have the majority of their students on "free lunch programs" so their kids can get a decent meal.  I would love to see the last time a kid at CA didn't have electricity in their house, or a hole in the roof, or multiple mattresses on the floor in one room to sleep on because they had more than one family in the same house because they couldn't afford it, etc.  (I know not all kids are like this, but even if 25% of public school kids were in this situation, how can you even as a "Christian" school think the playing fields are even?)

#2 you said AAU and camps - How many AAU teams played in the old gym?  How many AAU teams would want to go to travel to Richland, Santa Fe, Culleoka, Summertown, Hampshire, Frank Hughes, to practice and use those facilities compared to using CA's in the middle of a pretty good size town?  Granted some of your public coaches are lazy and wouldn't do it, but a lot of your small public schools don't even have full coaching staffs (Can't find enough coaches on staff to give stipends to, because those schools hire teachers that fit what they need or have open, not hire a coach and then let him teach Bible, PE, etc...if he even teaches at a private school)

#3 you said Natural Rivals that are close...here are some locations and teams you played 

Football - Non Region (Nashville Christian, Lipscomb, FRA, and Spring Hill - 3 of 4 private)

Basketball - (Middle Tn Ch, FRA, Grace, Goodpasture, Ezell, Madison Academy (AL), Lipscomb, Franklin Christian, Lighthouse Christian, Nashville Central Christian, Riverside Christian - 25 games and 13 Private and 12 Public - till tournament time)

Baseball - Playing (Grace, BGA, Nash Ch, Mid TN Ch, Davidson Academy, Friendship, Donelson, Goodpasture and then Loretto, Summertown, Spring Hill, Lewis, Waverly, Cascade)

If you Honestly look at it from these stand points, there is NO WAY a small public like the ones I mentioned at the beginning can compete year in year out with CA now.  (They could maybe to some extreme BEFORE when CA enrollment was more like Zions, or before CA facilities became more of the typical private school facilities, etc.)  Heck 10 to 15 years ago CA had never won a football region, and then all of a sudden, they start going DEEP into the A play-offs then the AA-play-offs.  In Basketball they had a good year or two, but all of a sudden they are winning region and district Championships year after year, same for baseball, softball, tennis, boys and girls soccer. 

If you believe it is equal between public and private schools and it's just because your kids work harder, then PLEASE explain how you do it...we want to model it at our small PUBLIC school.  (Heck I might even sell the formula to other public schools in the US and make enough for our little public school to build a new stadium/gym like CA has...)  

Check with Summertown, they have a formula

That’s my point.............

Hard to fathom that Tssaa continues to allow ca to remain in 10a in spite of years of factual data provided by unidentifiable sources proving their wrongdoings.  I smell collusive activity.  Russia??

Maybe they stay because they can.  Whiners aren’t the decision maker, but will eventually wear down Tssaa to boot them. Then the whiners will want more classes in basketball so everyone can get a trophy. Looking forward to Class 1/2 A !

Those Eagles did plow through 10A, didn’t they.    Where’s all the hate?

Any truth to the rumor that MP is pushing for the rezone, hoping to steal enough players to start a soccer team?                      Any idea how many Summertown teams (girls&boys) made it to or through sectionals in the last ten years?     Football will be there soon enough

Summertown’s athletic program is comparable to CA without all of the “benefits” you mention.  They appear to have DONE it much better than you,

....

Where's Waldo?

kingsbury gave cleveland all they wanted and more. Shame on cleveland fans for booing downed players and tacky remarks regarding an assumed language barrier

I'd love to see the A/AA combination dropped. If AA combined with AAA the private school domination would vanish. Not unheard of for A's (public and private) to use 8th grade and female players to fill the squad.

are you conceding that there is no chance to win the golden ball? Odds are the mayor's toxic dump will kill the county before all the ABC schools get bumped out and Alcoa joins the SEC. If LC chooses to keep the bar low, so be it. I support the team every year, but not the status quo of the program. is that simple enough?
