Agreed. JPII has too much talent and did not have the awful shooting night like in their first game.

I wouldn't sleep on MBA (21-4) . Big game w/JPII (24-3) tomorrow night.

Now is Ingle's chance because Marty resigned today https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/12/12/mba-football-coach-marty-euverard-resigns-record-14-seasons/76414703007/ I thought Marty was a very good coach who got a lot out of a little.

And in Nashville, most of the Catholics do not reside on the JPII side of town. JPII is less than 50% Catholic whereas Father Ryan is probably greater than 90%.

Patriot Pat = best mascot in NFL...with old Redskins a close 2nd.

My understanding is that JPII wants to hire the AD prior to football coach. Current AD is interim.

JP2 had a game scheduled with HHS a few years ago. It was agreed upon the coaches but either HHS or Sumner Co admin shut it down.

Obviously, Chattanooga does not count as East TN, correct? Knoxville has never had any history in DII-AAA until recently. While Knox Catholic competed well in 5A, they have gotten their teeth kicked-in since moving to DI-AAA and playing big boy football. With Lipscomb and now CPA moving to DII-AAA, it is the only private school region that really matters. So, IMO it is more of what the private schools are NOT in Knoxville vs what the public schools are, if that makes sense.

Instead of punishing success, the TSSAA should relegate teams, similar to the English Premier League, for not being competitive.

I think it is less about physical injury to players and more about injury to the coach's or school's pride - and/or that their players and parents might see what really good football looks like. When my kids were at JPII and still playing in D2-AAA, we all knew when the other team stepped off the bus who was going to win the game - and it was NOT JPII. Coach Geis taught our kids to compete. Yes there is winning on the scoreboard, there is also winning in just competing. To echo Derek, no the TSSAA should not be forcing non-region schedules nor should they create a rule specific to one school (CPA).

Now this is laugh out loud funny. Should be nominated for post of the year.

Not what I said. I did say that CPA has faired well against the D2-AAA schools they have played since 2020.

CPA has faired well against D2-AAA in past 4 or 5 years, going 7-2 against BA, MBA and Ensworth. I think CPA will be fine with the tests being Baylor & McCallie, which no-one else from D2-AAA has proven they can beat as of late.

And heard Rector is going to Independence.

Agree on Coach Geis. He made JPII a respectable program, which was not easy. He will continue to fly under the radar until FRA can beat CPA.
