Game will go on as scheduled. Unfortunately we are having to deal with them black plague at CA.

Went to watch CA last night at McEwen because I wanted to see how good they really were. Pretty good team and Coach Hood is a good football coach. However, he has very little class and it reflected bad on his program. They jumped on McEwen early and never let up which I don't have a problem with. McEwen I do not believe crossed the 50 in the first half, if they did it was barely.

 

But the worst part came with CA up 38-0 with under 3 minutes in the 1st half. McEwen has the ball and is just running it to get to the half. On 3rd down Coach Hood calls time out trying to get the ball back. This is after the clock judge had let about 10 seconds run off with about 5 minutes left and CA called a timeout to complain about the 10 seconds and asked for time to be put back on the clock. Once CA got the ball back late after McEwen punted they are throwing it and obviously trying to score. CA calls timeout again with under 10 seconds left and throws a deep pattern to score as time runs off to go up 45-0 at half.

 

This would not have been a problem if the subs were in but the starters were still in slinging it. All this also after I was standing on the CA sideline, CA up 30 something to 0, and I hear Coach Hood say we are going to score as a many as we can as often as we can and not call the dogs off. Not very classy for a coaching staff on a night when they were clearly the better team.

 

It was bad enough that in the 2nd half I was in the press box and I heard the Clarksville radio station announcer tell the McEwen folks ... guys I'm sorry I just do the radio I'm not affiliated with the school or football program.

 

Again, Coach Hood is a good football coach but didn't show me much else last night. That having been said they'll have a tough 2nd round match against a team that is playing very good right now, NCS, who has a very good coach and team as well. I am o course assuming NCS beats McEwen in the first round next week. After that I think 10A will struggle if they play anyone but their own district. 10A is as weak as it has been in sometime.

Coach Hood and his staff have nothing but class. They are smart enough to know that you can still lose the game until the end of the 4th quarter. Remember our game against HC. He is trying to get the score to the 35 point spread as soon as he can, so that the second half can go to continuous clock. McEwen is a dangerous team that can put up some points and make a game out of it anytime. So, if you hear him say, he wants his team to score as many points as they can, its because he is trying to ensure victory. Not run up the score on another team. Most of our starters were out in the second half. He was only able to do that because the team had a comfortable margin at the half.

When we were getting beat down by Portland, we didn't whine and complain about it. That's how the game is played within the rules that we have. They were a 5A team with more depth and more athletes than we had. Portland made the 5A playoffs coming out of a tough district. They did what they had to do, and so does Clarksville Academy.

I am proud that my son plays for Coach Hood and his staff. They are coaching a program that some said would never have success. They get the absolute most out of their players. Above all Coach Hood has made them believe that they can win if they work hard enough and give their best effort every week. To me that is class.

No not suggesting play10a. Not at all.

When Goodpasture is in 10-A next year you will have someone else to hate on.

 

 

Thats what we need in 10A another private school.

So bitter. What's wrong with private schools?

here are my picks for the last week of the regular-season

NCS over JB

McEwen over CA

HC over ERHS

There are to impact games for the last two games of the Regular-Season that will shake up the playoff pistons for the 10A that are already in the first one is JB @ NCS the second one is McEwen @CA. I think that NCS will win the game over JB this Friday because of our defense of play we will be very solid on that side of the ball on friday night. JB will be great on the offense side of the ball. so if we shut them down on that side of the ball and we keep there defense on the field for a long period of time i think we will have the edge. both of these teams are very solid on both sides of the ball. I think this game will be very. this game might come down to the last possession in the 4Qr. I still think that NCS will win this big game because there a shot for the title for both teams for the 10A Champs should be a good one both teams will be in the playoffs this season.

The next impact game for 10A is McEwen @ CA way is this game so important is that if McEwen wins they will be in the playoffs and the win of NCS JB game will be the new champion. I think that McEwen will pull the up set @ CA tomorrow night why do i say this. There is so much on the line for McEwen like a playoff birth for them and extend there season. I think they will win McEwen got a lot better each week from the half way point this season. they already pulled off an Upset this year @ Houston Co. If CA over looks them and not comes to play and thinks about the playoffs next friday then CA will lose to McEwen this week. If McEwen does win it will be very close game. CA probably won't over look McEwen but if they do they better watch out because they might lose there title in 10A. I still think McEwen will win because they will want it more. good luck to all 10A football teams this friday night it will be a fun night for 10A football. the 10A regular season has been like a mini SEC conference this year for sure. It will be interesting to se how many teams that we send from 10A to the playoffs this year.

Go EAGLES!!!!!

51-0. Oops, bad call. Only thing McEwen wanted more than CA was to go home. About middle of the 2nd.

CA youngsters stepped up. Kept the team in the game. Held on for a big win. The cougars are in a good position now but they need to stay focused on the opponent each week. MJCA this week. They don't need a letdown. It's time to come out strong.

CA another big win. Revenge Game on SC from loss last year. First real test is next week against NCS. I am already fired up. I may not sleep this week.

Great game from CA today. Few mistakes against a down Central team. 5 out of 7 winners in 10A. Looks to be very competitive this year. What do you think?
