Really trying not to post anymore now that I'm graduated but I have to say I saw nothing about Cascade that is convincing of being a top team in the region, much less the state, unless everyone else is just THAT bad. Besides that last 8 or 9 minutes of their game at NCS, they were kept in check on both sides of the ball. That being said, it took a lot of heart to score like they did and come back from down 19-0 in 5 minutes, so you can't take that away from them. Regardless, neither Cascade nor NCS looked really great in their game, but Cascade showed no signs of being the top team in the region, maybe not even top 2 or 3. No knock on Cascade, just giving some perspective. Good luck to all Region 5 teams this year.

Also, the game-sealing interception hit the ground. Welcome to Maryville. Home of the Tainted 2004 4A State Championship Trophy

I bet #10 (Clement i think?) is still sore from all those licks he took. #8 is a flat out headbuster. and none of those hit were late hits, just good plays. I agree the spot on 4th down stunk and should have been a first down. did anybody else notice that no melrose players had "cowboy collars" and neck rolls and stuff that nearly every team you see has on? is it a coach's rule or something? I was very impressed with melrose, I expect them to win it all next year. oh and I have no affiliation with either school these are just my observations.

See, coming from NCS i can add so figuring up your record didn't take much keeping up. I'm sorry you have such ill feelings toward NCS03 and I.....really, we're hurt. I never said i was better than Bertier; God loves he and I alike. Glad that's taken care of. Seeing as how these posts have nothing to do with basketball and more of a garbage vs NCS debate, it should be locked. Yellow Jacket Pride!!!

Haha that is a good one. Ya know, i just thought of one too.... Posting a phenomenal 20-60 record the last 3 seasons, Fairview is back on track with a 1-2 record to start this season. No wonder their fans would know what a D-I athlete looks like! Don't be fooled coacht'ers, Fairview is a decent size high school and has only dropped 5 straight to a private school boasting an enrollment of 170 students. Now THATS an accomplishment. NCS03 has probably watched more hs basketball than a lot of people on this board. I'm just sorry he hasn't gotten more opportunities to see the yellow jackets play, that's all. Maybe this year they'll finally beat those pesty Eagles. And if we're lucky, we can catch Bertier there sporting his Redman and camo'. Puckett is a very talented player and with his size probably could've played at an SEC school. I wish the best to him in his senior season (except against NCS, who will not know what a D-I player looks like even when they see him).

HILLWOOD: THE KINGS OF METRO!!!!!

De Rucker from Hillwood is the truth.

I'm no robjim but i can try to answer your questions as best I can. Offensively DCA is pretty balanced, although i would say with senior RB Chris Wooden they are more dominant on the ground. Wooden is one of the best backs in 1A and has the size to run through defenders when they're actually there. The back up runnin back Fields is also a threat, but these 2 must attribute much of their success to one thing. Their offensive and defensive line is one of the best I've seen in 1A, led by Mark Thompson (not sure if he plays defense). DCA's QB Fenwick is pretty tall and fairly skinny; an accurate lefty with the ability to run for long yardage when he gets in the open. IMO Austin Garrett is probably their best receiver, and just the fact that his brother is on the Real World makes him that much better (just a joke people). I look to see DCA score at least 28, and if Wayne Co. can beat them after that (which wont happen) then they aren't as good as people think they are. Should be a fun game to watch. Hope i answered some questions for you.

You need to stop hittin' the snooze button and wake up. If Cascade can beat DCA, then FRA can certainly beat Mt. Pleasant. If any region has a seemingly invincible team, it's DCA in Region 5. With a 28-7 win over one of the top 2 teams in west TN (JCS), domination of the best 1A region in every way, and a solid win over a playoff bound 2A team, they're a hard team to doubt (unless you're from Region 6 and need a spanking for you know no better). DCA will get the job done, whether it be by 7 or 35+. 'Nuff said. Also bbuc, Mt. Pleasant's road is even harder than that, with likely having to play CPA and DCA back to back.

That's a good point. Coming from Cascade, a number of those people were probably "involved" at some point in their lives. The vulgarity and offensive talk from the illiterate region 6A fans to the region 5 fans is getting a little excessive and this thread should be locked.

Actually, you see, #6 from DCA's brother is on the Real World on MTV, so there's no way Cascade can win. Like binn said, might as well forfeit.

Understood.

It's playoffs; anything can happen. It's just that sometimes, every once in a while, ever so often, when people are fans of certain teams, their opinions seem to reflect that. This leads to controversy with other teams' fans who, in contrast, support their team and region. This being said, saying we think 6A should'nt show up is a misrepresentation of our support for the 5A teams. Thank you.

While these scores seem impressive in DCA's favor, you have to look at what's gone on through the course of the year. The game at Riverdale was their first of the season in which CPA scored 14 of their points fairly quickly if im not mistaken, which more than likely took Riverdale by surprise, and after that Riverdale dominated the rest of the game. Since about week 5, CPA's team play has deteriorated somewhat (standing up on the line of scrimmage, D-line being drove, not enough Landers, etc.) and their games have been closer. Whether or not CPA will be healthy and focused in time to make a deep playoff run is left to be seen, but right now and against DCA they surely weren't the team they were in the season's first few weeks. Cascade obviously has a solid team having played with the glorious Tigers of Mt. Pleasant, but they will be little competition to DCA's dominant offensive line and physical play on both sides of the ball. I would be hardpressed to see DCA lose this game if they played 10 times, and i see them winning by a good 3-4 TD's. CPA's athleticism on the offensive side of the ball will probably win them their playoff opener against Huntland, as their defense has not played as well in weeks past and besides, Huntland hasn't seen the kind of talent CPA brings to the table - offensively and defensively. CPA by 10-15. DA has one of if not the biggest line's in 1A, and with the midstate's 2nd leading rusher in Ross Coffee, may give WC fits in the trenches unless they have some big boys who can stuff the holes and LB's to make the plays. DA's secondary is questionable but i don't seem them exiting so early again this year. DA by 10-14. And as far as the FRA/Mt. Pleasant game goes, FRA will have to hit Mt. Pleasant in the mouth early and keep them on the ropes (keeping it close) to have a chance at winning, which i dont see happening. MP by 8-13.

Good luck to both CPA and DCA. Can't really decide who to give the edge to, although I would be very surprised to see this game won by more than a touchdown. Would love to see the game myself but I'm kinda busy tonight..... Again good luck to both teams in what im sure will be one of the best games all year long in TN football.
