This conversation will forever be pointless. CA is going D2 next season. No matter what anyone says, people will always claim that we did it the wrong way even though we didn’t. But nothing changes that CA won the gold ball this year and was by far the best team in 1A and was able to win 31 games with the hardest schedule in the state.

That’s fair enough. But people have the right to go to our school regardless of where they’re from, athlete or not. Nobody complained about us being in the public school division until we started getting good at sports. It wasn’t because we started recruiting , but it was because of the start of the youth sports programs at the school that were designed to help train the athletes to be good players when they got to high school. The players earned what that championship. They played teams that were much more talented than them this year, but they won because of a great coach, and they put aside personal success for the success of the team, and bought into Coach Dejarnettes system and wanted nothing more than a championship.

I’m not trying to be disrespectful for anyone. But for people to still come on here and try to downplay what our teams do is ridiculous. We’ve been accused of recruiting for years now because of the fact that the school has made a push to have better athletics. I will stand by what I said about the players. Tanner Ham and Eli Hyle came here as middle schooler and freshmen respectively, and the other poster has already described the circumstance behind Eli. Gary Smith Jr is the only player on the team that actually plays that has come here after already being at another high school. When will people accept the fact that people want to come to CA, not because they’re being recruited, but because they want their child to get a good education with good people around them, and if they want, to play sports for a school that has mad strides to develop the athletics program. Marty DeJarnette is a great basketball coach and has been doing this for over 20 years. He has always done things the right way, and for people to now already discredit what he’s done because they are upset because they got beat by a private school is ridiculous.

I was talking to the Eagleville fan who has 0. I couldn’t care less how many gold balls Humboldt has. Doesn’t change the fact that we still beat them last night

No nerves hit. We got a gold ball and y’all got an early ticket back home

I’m so sorry we hurt you. Enjoy not having a ring

Exactly. Which is why Coach DeJarnette is such an amazing coach and has deserved this for so long. I called this win back in the football threads months ago

Great teams don’t miss when a championship is on the line. Thank you

Sometimes it’s just what happens. Happened to us last year against Loretto in the first round. It was just in the stars for CA to win it this year. Blow out against every team they played in the tourney. Good luck to y’all too. It’ll be awhile before we’re back

Oh yes I forgot Eli came here for high school. But still you get the point.

All but one of our players has been here since elementary school

Cry about it

McKenzie brought the game back to a 1 point game at a point in the second half and then proceeded to turn it over almost every possession it seemed like for a while

They looked tired yesterday against McKenzie. 45 was limping all game, probably from an injury he’s been dealing with. In my opinion McKenzie beat themselves more so yesterday than Humboldt did. But opinions are opinions. Humboldt is a much better team than they were last year. But so is CA.

That’s fair enough but I’ve got to disagree. We were supposed to get beaten by Manassas and we tore them apart. We were supposed to lose to Eagleville and we embarrassed them for the majority of the game. Humboldt is a great team but from what I’ve seen they get tired out easily. If their coach only plays six or seven players like he did yesterday, CA will run away with it. I believe CA’s ability to shoot threes very consistently will be the difference.

CA embarrassed Manassas and slept Eagleville around for the majority of the game today.

Well someone called it on February 2. CA vs Humboldt.

Only time will tell. CA beat Eagleville at home and lost away this year. I’m not one for excuses but I will use them this time. When CA lost at Eagleville this year they were missing one of their best players who had a concussion. Eagleville was behind the entire game until an outstanding fourth quarter while some starters for CA were on the bench. They then proceeded to hit a half court shot to send it to overtime off a careless turnover. It went to double overtime and CA’s other Two best players were fouled out and that was when Eagleville took over. CA has improved a lot since then and are fully healthy. And I would hate to be on the team that has to play against Marty DeJarnette with a venegeance.

I said before the season Even started that CA should be the favorite to win it all. It’s getting closer to looking like I was right

And mind you prior to the injuries CA had this year they were better than Watertown

We didn’t win anything this year. And Still even yet CA without a gold ball in football still has a better football history than Watertown. But CA will likely win a gold ball in basketball this year which Watertown can’t claim for any of their sports

I would take my team playing in cookeville any day of the week over ending earlier and playing basketball

I’m not a Cornersville fan but how are you gonna talk trash to them? Watertown just made their first quarterfinals appearance.... ever? Cornersville played for gold and got silver but that’s still better than anything Watertown has ever done...

You could say that about a lot of teams lol, but y’all don’t have him so it doesn’t matter

I agree with you. Whitwell had magic on their side on that touchdown play
