AGREE 100% on that. You try to have a logical debate and all you get are goof balls who spend all day on YouTube downloading videos.

It's funny how when a school decides to go on a new direction in terms of football coaching and looses less games in the last three years than the previous staff lost in their last year, now CPA recruits. The class which just graduated was made up of mostly kids who had been there since grade school. Going forward CPA will draw football players because of the coaching and development, no recruiting needed. CPA gets kids who excel on the football field and classroom as well.

That's OK, keep hating and making fun. I will be the first to say how impressive Alcoa's program in football has been and continues to be. I for one do not believe that Alcoa needs to go after any players, Alcoa's program attracts players. When you become that good, players seek you. With that being said, and keep poking fun if you will, but if you go back three short years ago and look at the sad state that was CPA football and see what leaps and bounds Coach Martin has made, you will see the same effect take place that has occurred in basketball at CPA, players will seek out CPA, just like Alcoa. I'm not saying CPA will win the gold ball every year, but Alcoa's days of running through 3a will be challenged by the new 3a power in middle TN.

Don't give the 3a title to Alcoa just yet, CPA learned a lot about what it takes in the title game last year and look for them to take the next step this year. Ingle has improved this program every year since he arrived. Only one more game to win this year and then look for CPA to have a long run of championships in football.

What is the outlook for GP this fall? What key players will they have back and what key players did they loose? I saw where they are ranked number 9 or 10 in Murphy's poll for 2a, is this accurate?

May God provide comfort to this family in this time of loss as only he can. When things like this happen we should all stop for a moment and reflect on what really is important in this life. If everyone, myself included, put the zeal into striving for an eternal home with The Lord as much as we worry about who wins and looses a game, we would be better off. God bless you Will and the example you set for others while on this earth will not be forgotten.

This is a great job, they won't have a problem getting a great coach as this program should always be contending every year. Any names for sure surfaced?

DAD1 I've enjoyed reading your posts and hope you will not be a stranger. Congrats to your grandson for a great year. This senior class at CPA has far exceeded expectations and appears to have maximized their abilities through great coaching and hard work. My best to you and your family. Maroon

It's about 90 percent who has the hot arm come playoff time. Great pitching will overcome great hitting in most cases. I believe the key will be for the teams who ride an ace not to wear out her arm before districts start. It won't kill a team to throw in another pitcher when possible to keep a fresh arm. Too many coaches are too wrapped up on the regular season record. Not all, but some.

Coach I value your opinion, I'm sure you have forgotten more about basketball than I will ever know. However, honestly I don't understand how it can be implied that coach Drew is an average coach due to this loss. I just don't believe CPA was as good as Southside this year. I don't believe it was all just talent which led to 2 straight titles, there had to be some coaching.

Agree, I believe Sportsnerd is admitting that the best team won on that day. On the other hand I would believe that everyone who was at the game would admit that the foul issues played a large part for CPA. Hate them or not, they are the best basketball team in TN and have been for several years.

I second what nerd has to say about CC. Both the football and basketball teams have been very good over the last few years. The most impressive thing is that you rarely hear CC complain about what other schools have or do, instead they do the best with the talent on hand and it shows what hard work can accomplish. GOOD JOB CUBS!!!!!

I've heard it all now, this is amusing. The next thing you know CPA will be blamed for global warming.

Possibly we can next get to the bottom of who really shot JFK, wonder if it was a guy in a white shirt and blue jeans?
