Yes, evidently they have a new head master with a different direction for the school. In doing so they also lost a few athletes in the process. In my opinion they have had a great year but his may be more of an anomaly.
Really? That wasn't the case in basketball.

Most of the kids are from Rutherford County.
I guess they get a lot of kids from Nashville schools.

Says the coach is Rocky Peeler, someone said he is from Johnson City and played high school ball at DB .
I think the coach at LC used to coach at Macon. Name is Watson. I also heard he was in the running for the Smith Co job but thought he was a little to young.

Didn't know that about the LCA Basketball ball team.
Exactly. I know this is football and all, but it really opened my eyes to the athletes they have in the school system. If it translates (undefeated and 52 ppg, looks like it does) then they could score a bit on Alcoa. I don't think they'll win but it'll be interesting to see how they do.

Lancaster Christian Academy (Smyrna, TN)QB,2027
If you notice Lancaster has only played 5 games and he is averaging 405.4 yards per game. I have seen them play and that kid can spin it. The other kids have played 7 games.
unapproved website has Williams kid as top in state. York is listed at 23 Akin is listed at 3.

They have a few but definitely not stacked. This is the classic David and Goliath story. Well, maybe its more like David's little brother against Goliath.
LCA has a ton of athletes that they've got from cities around the school. Even in basketball I remember we went there last year and I was amazed at the athletes they had. They were stacked.
-
I have sen Lancaster play three times and all i can say is that they can score. Obviously, Alcoa is the heavy favorite and shouldn't have any difficulties winning but that team can flat score points.

Good win by the Red Devils!

Guys I am not trying to argue with anyone. I would think that LCA would be a very valuable asset for a child, and they would probably get a much better education than some or even most public schools. Tlynne I wasn't pointing out your child as I am sure he is a great kid and student. I also do like the fact your child can pray in school. My children went to a small rural school and thankfully prayer is accepted there. I also stated that I did not know that LCA lowers their standards and was not suggesting that they do; however what I said was a fact. I know who they are and that is all fine. I was just stating that I personally did not respect the situation where a kid could fail at one place and not be allowed to play, but come to another school and then be allowed to play. I also stated that maybe parents, and staff members didn't know. I think that if a child has the opportunity to attend a private school it would defiantly be a good thing, and I am sure LCA is a fine institution. I just do not like the one thing I mentioned. I am apologize if I ruffled some feathers, as that was not my intention. I also think instead of becoming upset with me everyone should just try to make sure things like what I was saying does not happen.
No one on this current team fits this description but i do know of 3 kids who would have helped this program that weren't accepted due to grades.

Sounds like sour grapes on your part. Simply not true and for you to make that accusation about someones private information is troublesome at best.
I said I would leave the topic alone and I will; however it seems as if you are misinformed and I will make one more statement. There ARE current players and starters on LCA that would not qualify at other schools. Maybe they are doing their work this year I do not know. All you have to do is look at your roster, now find the players who were not on the team last year, cross reference those and find where they went last year and just see if they made the grades. I am sure some of them did, but I know for a FACT some of them did not.
-
There isn't any starter or contributor on this years team that wouldn't qualify to play elsewhere. I have been told this year players are ineligible to practice if they don't have homework turned into the teacher.
This school may do good things for athletes and for families, I do not know. However I can never respect a high school that will take in kids who are not eligible at other schools and let them play sports. If you flunk out of school A, heck come on down here to school B and you can play, that is the Lancaster moto. I can name names and even current players, but I will not because this is not the students fault. The organization and parents are at fault and this type of crap should never happen.
There isn't one starter or contributor on this team that wasn't qualified to play elsewhere.

That doesn't currently apply to LCA anymore. It may have in the past but they have new administration that prohibits this type of thing.
Let's say a kid is in school and he fails, because of this he is not allowed to play football for that school in the upcoming season. Now this same kid transfers to Lancaster and is allowed to play right away; this is what happens at this school and some others. No kid should be rewarded for failing, for not applying themselves or for getting into trouble. I am not saying this school lowers their standards for current students as I do not know; however I do know they will let students come in and play sports who did not make the grades at other schools. In football in particular the same student could still make failing grades and play an entire season and then not be allowed after their grades come out. That would be two seasons in a row the kid got to play all while making failing grades, and that should not happen.

OK, LC fans, how come you guys wouldn't allow Gville's band to come?
Sounds pretty bush league to me.
Can someone explain?
I agree. I was at that game and the entertainment would have been nice. I am not a fan but at the moment i know a few people at the school. if you don't receive a response i will ask them if they know anything.
-
I know someone that has a kid there and was able to see the film. Their starters beat your starters by 1 and was also informed they were missing 4 defensive players during that scrimage. Your arrogance is amazing. That QB threw for 300 yard in 17 plays not attempts. I will say this, i would like to see this teams square off in a real game. I personally think that the running back from NCS is a beast.
Did you miss the part about NCS whooping up on Lancaster about a week before Week 0? Like 36-12
-
being looked at by d-1 as well. The QB can gun it and the WR is a beast. I heard the QB calls his own plays. Talked to someone close to there program and he says next year they will be down. Many teams will inflict revenge.
I gave my synopsis at the beginning of the year...JB thread i believe...bottom line their line ain't going nowhere....but there qb and wr's may go D2 in college...they can score!!!!!!
-
This....
There are a lot of great places to eat, but nothing beats JB's concession stand! Seriously, those folks do it right!!

Oh my, it was 40-7 after the 3rd quarter. Then the second and third string players were put into the game. Only 2 personal fouls were called, one was completely bogus. The official said a player smiled after a call. It could have been very ugly.
LCA has several personal fouls called on them not sure how many... It was a pretty close game until the 4 th with the score being 16-7 LCA until about the 8 min mark... HC drove rite down the field and scored on their first possession... Next possession Moran goes down and didn't return the rest of the game an HC's offense couldn't move the ball the rest of the game when it had got out of reach in the 4th... # 1 for LCA is a real player though

Clarksville Acad. over Collinwood
Eagleville over Jo Byrns
Nashville Chr. over Davidson Acad.
Harpeth over East Robertson
Lancaster Chr. over Houston Co. -
talked to a few of their folks and it seems they have similar issues as JB. That number 12 was really good and he is one of the best qb's i have seen in a while. The thing that blew my mind was that he called his own plays. How about the injured, any reports?

LCA Won 38-36 . They were a tough team.

Was this game played thursday night or is it this evening?
It is tonight.

Father Ryan has two options.
Either recruit at least 7 real Division 2 AA athletes per year or continue recruiting the 1 to 3 and drop to D2 A.
Simple

Lancaster didn't play week 1 so don't have much to go on but Kevin Adkins and Jesse Hyde and crew should have a big game.
2014 Jo Byrns Red Devils

Just heard that the Lancaster QB is trying to graduate this summer and play post graduate football and enroll in college as an EE enrollee in January 2015. Coaches do not expect him back for fall.
