Many think this will be for the region championship. Thoughts/predictions?

Columbia has their 4th coach in 4 years. Coach Goff is a legend amongst the Columbia football community. He has surrounded himself with an incredible staff. A roster of 80 plus for the first time in years. They took it to CPA. They have athletes all over the field and they’re physical. Should be a great game!

Don’t overlook Columbia and what they got going on now. They got over 80 kids out and talent all over the field. They’ll be dangerous.

Columbia 17 CPA 14….not a misprint Columbia Academy 51 Spring Hill 0……also not a misprint

Mt Juliet was a playoff game, not on the schedule. Green Hill however was and is on the schedule.

Columbia is putting everyone on notice! This is just the beginning!

We ran the wing-T this year

Agreed! That’s exactly why I believe Coach Sharp made this move! Talent has never been an issue at Columbia. They haven’t gotten it right since Coach Belew retired, until yesterday!

He is staying. Former staff bashed Coach Moore to death to the parents after they were let go which may have been their biggest accomplishment in the 5 years they were there considering they had a 7-22 region record and 23-31 overall record from 2016 to 2020.

Agreed. Former staff that was full of youth football coaches bashed the man to death to the current parents. Coach Moore did a great job but he fully supports and loves Coach Sharp and he has plans to be on his staff.

This shouldn't even be close. CA just fired their all-time winning coach, not because he forgot how to coach, but because they are now playing against other private schools who recruit better than them. CA has no problem recruiting in softball or basketball but when it comes to football, not happening. Doesn't matter who they hire. If they don't recruit like the teams they are playing, they are not going to be competitive. They won 2 games in 2020 and 3 games in 2021. As far as Central goes, talent is no issue. Discipline and Structure is. They got that this year and finished 7-4 with a staff that was put together 30 days before the first game. If rumors are true about who they are hiring, it may be the best hire in the State, not just in Columbia!

Rumor has it that its going to be Michael Harrison (in house) who was on Lansdell staff and former Perry County and Hickman County head coach.

I sadly agree! Hopefully wither its Coach Moore or not, they'll bring in a Head Coach that will set expectations and hold the kids and the parents accountable and if the parent's and kids can't, they need to be gone! I'd much rather lose for a couple seasons by getting rid of those who don't or won't buy in to get the culture right!

Agreed! Unfortunately a bunch of mom's aren't fans of their kids being held accountable by anyone! God bless the person who takes this job! Could be one of the best 5A jobs in the state, especially after this group of entitled parents are gone!

That is called hearsay!

What was the situation? Do you work for the MCPS or CCHS? You claim it was handled poorly, do you have 100% facts or hearsay?

Agreed, Columbia had a coaching change July 12th. Went from the spread to the wing-t and to a 4-3 from a 3-4 in a month before the first game with a completely new staff.

Still waiting for the shrapnel to hit as we advance to the second round....team improved to a 4-1 region record vs a 1-4 record last year. 7-4 overall now. Also beat Mt Juliet last week in the first round by 20. Hosted a playoff game for the first time in 9 years. The programs first win vs a 5A team that finished the season with a winning record since November of 2012! Brand new offense and brand new defense installed 30 days prior to first game. Again still waiting for the shrapnel....

Columbia goes to Green Hill again after a 28-14 loss back in September. This Lions team is healthy and completely different than it was for the first meeting! Not going to make a prediction because I don't want to jinx them but I will say this....Lion Nation is confident and ready to roll!

Who would have ever thought 4 weeks ago that after week one of the playoffs, 3 of the 4 teams, Page, Columbia and Nolensville all advance?!? Franklin County apparently gave Green Hill all they wanted losing 48-40!

5-0 Page vs 4-2 Columbia. Both teams are undefeated in region play. Columbia has beat Nolensville 30-7 and Franklin County 33-9 with Lincoln County and Spring Hill remaining after Friday. Columbia’s two losses were to Marshall County 30-23 (who beat Page 42-6 in jamboree) and to a solid Green Hill team 28-21. Who ya got?

Columbia’s two losses which were non-region were to two very good teams, Marshall County and Green Hill. Showdown with Page on October 1 could determine region champ! Page would still have to play Nolensville after Columbia. Columbia finishes the year hosting Lincoln County and playing Spring Hill on the road! Prediction Columbia or Page 1 or 2 Nolensville 3 Franklin County 4
