Awesome post. I can't imagine a more satisfying championship than Pearl's in '66. Lots of brave men pictured here.

Can it not be both?

Braxton is at Oak Hill Academy. And he goes by the name Braxton Key now, apparently. He recently committed to Alabama.

CPA wins vs. Southwind 85-75. In the latest AP poll CPA was #4 in AA, (1. Creek Wood, 2. Haywood, 3. Douglass). Southwind was #2 in AAA (1. Hamilton).

No, they don't magically show up, their parents apply and enroll them at CPA. Yes, some of them are exceptional athletes. I did not know this. This would be a major TSSAA violation, and since you've watched CPA over the years, I have no choice but to believe you and trust that you are either the parent of "plenty of them" or you work in the accounting office at CPA. You sure seem to talk in absolutes a lot about a school and community that you obviously know very little about. Using strong language doesn't make your skewed assumptions true. I'm all for free speech, but this is libel.

Ain't that the truth!

I linked to wikipedia, it doesn't get much more factual than that. If you read my post as an insult then you have your own confirmation bias.

The more of your posts that I've read, the more I'm reminded of my Intro to Pyschology class freshman year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

How on earth could you know this? I went to CPA and lived 2 miles away. Some people here seem to be having trouble understanding the concept of a private school. CPA does not have a discrict, so every single student is from "other school districts."

Thanks. Well, I hope that one day, (if not by the end of this week), Alcoa will need to seek revenge against CPA. Only losing to 1 private since '01 says alot about Alcoa. I've noticed that. How refreshing!

For CPA, there's that... Just curious, who does that include besides CAK?

Go Titans?

Go Vols! Just wanted to get in on this thread without causing division.

Thanks for your response. I get defensive when I feel that someone is twisting my words. Like you said, it's all good.

How is that not giving them respect? They beat a team in CPA that was the 2-time defending champion, who just about everybody was picking to roll their way to a 3rd. JSS won, so it goes without saying that they were the better team that night. If you read my final post in the CPA vs. JSS thread, you would see that I went above and beyond to show them respect. Getting a little nitpicky there cofo...

Great idea, and I'd totally be down, but unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I'll see If I can send a surrogate.

From what I've learned from some on here it is apparently "cheating" and "recruiting" for CPA or Alcoa to have any students whatsoever enrolled in their schools.

Boys and girls won in '12 & '13, Boys were upset in the semifinals in '14. Thank you for explaining to me what back to back means.

Boys & Girls basketball, this has already been covered in this thread.

I'm just gonna be over here patting myself on the back...

If players were starting HS, then all of them were new, where they not? CPA has desks to fill too, but they don't have a zoned area to pull students from. I'm not privy to the admissions process, but they pretty much have to take in transfers. It is a private school, not a charity, and they want/need students to replace those who leave, and not to mention that 15k in tuition that comes with each student. In the past few years they have been able to admit a greater number of students, thanks to the new high school building and the extra space it provides. Publics and privates are apples and oranges in regards to how they get students, we all know this. The bitterness towards CPA and it's athletes has only come with winning, just like the hate that Alcoa has gotten since years prior, this is nothing new.
