Peachtree Ridge beat a consensus top 25 team in the country in McEachern tonight. CPA beat a PCHS team that will do well this year. Any word on Alcoa tonight?

Hasn't BA underperformed nearly every year since 1996?

So does this game count as a loss for McCallie?

Watched the webcast. CPA controlled the game from whistle to whistle. They were better coached, better prepared, in better shape, tougher, smarter and hustled more than Peachtree Ridge. The only areas CPA didn't have an advantage were individual talent and depth. Peachtree Ridge was already tired after the first drive and by the end of the first half, they didn't want to be hit anymore. Outside of the first drive of the 3rd quarter, the defense was stout. Some of the best one on one and open field tackling I've seen in a high school game, especially on special teams. CPA needs to improve the FG kicking, but that was one of the few areas of weakness last night. Great effort by the Lions.

Congratulations, Coach Martin!!! Roll Lions!!!

I played football and basketball for Ricky and never heard him use profanity.

Don't feed the trolls !

Can't help it...east TN hill trolls are the worst

Fulton has played a grand total of three teams with winning records including a 6-4 Gatlinburg Pittman squad.,....super impressive resume beating up on all those cupcakes

1997.

Which also happens to be the last year that Ryan beat MBA alone.

Is this game available on video , or streaming ? 

Pepvol,

Here's the link to MBA's streaming events page: http://www.montgomerybell.edu/podium/default.aspx?t=126720&rc=0

This has to be MBA's best match-up vs. EHS in several years.  It'll come down to turnovers and big plays.

Awesome, you named 15 kids who have attended EHS at some point during its history who have fathers that did not attend MBA. And your point is???? I could name more than that who are at the school now whose parents did attend MBA and/or Harpeth Hall, but I won't because I do not believe that it is appropriate for an adult (which I assume you to be) to name high school kids on a public web site for anything other than accolades. I am not sure exactly what I get from the undertone of your message, but I do not think it is a good thing and I hope it does not reflect the culture these days over on West End. The fact is that a growing number of alums from MBA and HH are sending their kids to Ensworth.

As far as "Frist money", that family has been very generous to Ensworth. I am not sure what your point is regarding that either, but I suggest that you compare Ensworth's donor list with the Forbes list of Tennessee's wealthiest people. You may be surprised at the similarity. You might also want to be sure of your facts before publishing your hypothesis on why a student transferred schools. Frankly, that situation is simply none of your business and is certainly not a topic that is appropriate for discussion on a public message board.

As for the endowment amount, go to Ensworth.com, click on "Admission" and then on "Fast Facts". You may learn some other interesting tidbits about the school there as well.

 

You're under the wrong impression if you think MBA is concerned with having the wealthiest Nashvillians' kids roaming its halls. The fact that many of the parents of MBA students are wealthy is a function of the tuition, which is expensive. MBA does not, however, target any Forbes list for its students. It wants great students who fit its well-rounded motto regardless of their financial position.  When I look back at my classmates, most of them were upper-middle class families that made big sacrifices to send their kids to MBA.  Admittance is about the quality of the student, not the bank account of the parent. I would point out that having wealthy parents does not equate to being a gifted student.

As for MBA alumni, you first have to consider that a large number of them do not matriculate back to Nashville after college. Of the ones that do come back to Nashville, many of them do want to send their sons to MBA. Some of them don't. Some of the don't have sons or don't have kids at all.  Not all of them can afford it. Not all of their children can get in. The school isn't the right fit for everyone either. I know some MBA alumni who had sons and daughters who sent their kids to EHS for the conveneince of having them at the same school. Some of their kids went to Ensworth for elementary school and really wanted to continue on for high school. There are lots of reasons that a parent might choose one over the other, but I can assure you that MBA doesn't have any problem filling its classes, and a large number of alumni are still very interested in sending their kids their if they are so able.

What a game.  Go Big Red!

What year is #60 for Maplewood? He was impressive all night.

Also, #1 looked like Cam Newton Jr during warmups but didn't see the field? What's the deal there?

I loved to see the improvement in the defense from latst year, and I was glad that MBA came out and was more physical than Trinity. Trinity has some very impressive players, especially in open space. It's never good to lose the game, but a lot of positive take aways for the Big Red. I was most excited to see Jamie Redmond on the sideline.

MBA looked good last week, but Kinsbury was indeed terrible. Absent suspensions or significant injuries, the Shamrocks will win, likely by a large margin. Just too much firepower and depth. MBA will especially struggle in the defensive secondary, in my opinion. The Big Red is solid up front, but has no real skill on the outside. Having said all that, I hope I am wrong.

 

I was also surprised to see MBA's numbers are down for football. I counted only 59 boys on the team. From the late 90's until recently, we've typically had around 75. That lack of depth starts to show up, especially on special teams and later in the year.

 

Roll Red.

I noticed the smaller numbers as well. I also noticed that only 35 or so boys came out for 7th grade football, which is maybe half of recent numbers. I hate to see boys give on the football so early on in their athletic careers.

Thrilled to have Jamie Redmond back on the sidelines. Welcome back!

While I'm sure Rankin will apply (as he's applied for every other decent private school opening that's been available)I can't imagine he'd even be considered. Pretty sure he might have caused BA to incur some legal fees at one point or another

Getting updates through the District 10-AA text update system. CPA leads 7-0 and Maplewood trails 7-0.

 

Why is tssaanetwork not working? It didn't work when CPA playe Goodpasture either however it did work when they played Pearl-Cohn last week.

I was wondering the same thing. I can't get the stream to work either.

One of the most exciting ends to a high school football game that I can remember. Congratulations to Coach Martin and his team and good luck in the rematch against PCHS!

Can anyone share info? Kevin Mawae's profanity laced halftime rant has already reached legendary status. It was quite the conversation piece at the BGA/BA game.

 

From what I hear he was not at school the next day. Is this related? Off week could not come at a better time for the Big REd.

I was there. Here is a synopsis:

It really wasn't that big of a deal.

I believe that would be 16 in a row for the Big Red.

 

Funny thought, there are probably very few Freshman at Ryan who were alive the last time FRHS beat MBA.

The last FRHS victory was in the 1997 Clinic Bowl, which I think puts MBA's win streak at 15 games. Either way, your point might hold true.

Looks like Toothpick and Moondog forget that MBA leads Trinity 3-1 in this match-up. In fact the Big Red have a pretty good track record against KY teams in general:

Opponent W L

Hopkinsville (KY) 3 1

Louisville Manual (KY) 2 1

Louisville St. Xavier (KY) 1 1

Louisville Trinity (KY) 3 1

Paducah Tilghman (KY) 1 1

Paul Dunbar (KY) 1 0

Warren Central (KY) 3 1

Good luck to the Big Red! I predict MBA will continue to lead this series regardless of who wins...

Congrats to Coach Martin on a great start to a great career!

MBA takes care of business 42-6.
