  1. An old region 5-4A coaching foe will soon be coaching the Overton Bobcats.
  2. The problem at Northwest is a serious talent gap between what they have in the halls and what schools like Rossview, Kenwood, Northeast, and Clarksville have in the halls. West Creek has good talent in their halls as well.
  3. Kenwood did not play "horrible" at all vs Cheatham County. They didn't play great by any means but they didn't play awful. Hairston shot the ball extremely well in the game. Norl and Saunders pretty much evened each other out in the game. Darden outplayed Rivers in that particular game but in most meetings you would have to say that those two guys would even one another out. The difference maker in the game was a "ball handler" for the Cubs named Wesley Harlan who had a field day. CPA "may" beat Cheatham County but it won't be by 20+. The only way that happens is if Saunders, Harlan, or Darden: a.) have the flu b.) get suspended c.) get kidnapped before the tip d.) get injured during warm-ups e.) get injured during the game f.) get thrown out of the game g.) get in early foul trouble and 2 of the 3 have to sit the majority of the game h.) miss the bus (assuming the game is not at CCCHS) The list of possibilities is endless. I would love to see CPA play Cheatham in a game where everyone is healthy, the game is called fairly, and the boys on the floor get to decide the outcome. I would like to see the same type of game between Kenwood and Henry County.
  4. I heard that some old faces from the area may have applied and try to return to the area (Clarksville job).
  5. The polls today had: 1.) CPA 2.) Haywood 3.) Jackson South Side (tie) 3.) Cheatham County (tie) If the state could make these 4 teams not meet until the semifinal round of the state tourney it would be an awesome day of Class AA basketball.
  6. I picked CPA would win by 50+ too if you remember. Cascade is an impressive win but let's not get carried away now. The Cubs beat Cascade by 20 last year in the Watertown Christmas Tournament and played very "flat" in the game. The next night the Cubs beat Watertown by 50 in the same tourney. I never said Cheatham was "better" than CPA as a team. I simply said that Cheatham's starting five was better overall. Cheatham doesn't go very deep on the bench and if they are in a situation where 1-2-3 get in foul trouble then they will be in trouble. 1 through 5 though I'd take the Cubs over your beloved CPA team. Sorry if that stings.
  7. 2011-2012: 24-8; 2012-2013: 27-4; 2013-2014: 15-0 Remaining Schedule: Harpeth, White House, Greenbrier, WH-Heritage, Sycamore (x2) The Cubs are going for their third consecutive district championship. They've won a district tourney. They've won a region tourney. It would be a remarkable accomplishment if the Cubs were able to get to the State Tournament. They made it to the substate last year. Harpeth has made it to the substate as well recently. Sycamore advanced to the substate for three straight years. Throughout that whole period of time sports in the county as a whole has seen change across the board. Good coaches have left and went on to success at new jobs and are better for it. New coaches have came into the system and are now leaving their stamp on the student-athletes. I think that it would be great if the Cubs could end this three year run of success with a trip to play on the biggest stage.
  8. I would say Clarksville is a much better job than Northwest. Both teams have won in the past but Clarksville is "closer" to success than Northwest.
  9. In order to slow down CPA you have to know what they do. They are a power/buck 3 wide pistol team that plays with a blocking back. They'll target their stud receiver in the passing game. They love to run the smash and throw the hitch to him. When they put him in the slot they like to throw the ball vertically to him. On defense their linemen are big and physical but what makes them go is their safeties. They get downhill and play the off tackle game well against the run. They'll roll the secondary to motion and mix up coverages well. They're not complicated in scheme but they do have great players and the fact that they don't do much makes them very good.
  10. Leaving Wayne County for Waverly is a head scratcher
  11. Indy played 2 QBs with one being a senior and the other a sophomore correct?
  12. There were some great players in the district this year. Many of them (especially from Henry County, Rossview, and Kenwood) return in 2014 as well. As for this week's game I am rooting for the Northeast Eagles to win! They were clearly the class of Quad 3 and deserve to represent the midstate for the 5A state title.
  13. Maryville has made a living off of owning 7-AAA. Riverdale, Smyrna, and Siegel all have failed in recent years. Blackman gets the next shot.
  14. I see Bernard overturning the ejection. I'm sure he'll do so for the right reasons and not because he got "convinced" (read between the lines) by the elite people at mighty Ensworth.
  15. It's unfair to the kid from the other school and to the university that was dogged out.
  16. Doyle's band starts playing in the backyard at 10PM sharp. Tell Carl don't be late.
  17. sportsnerd is the root of the problem on this topic
  18. Whatever company live streamed that game should be in trouble because there's no way that announcers should be able to verbally degrade a student-athlete in a manner such as that. That was poor class all the way around. Period!
  19. Anyone remember Ricky Bowers and Ensworth doing something "cute" in a recent year's game vs BGA to run it up on the game's final play? I do! Serves him right!
  20. That's what hypocritical stuck up private school nerds do. They say "class" and then show anything but class. I hate all privates. CPA, Ensworth, BA, MBA, etc. They're all spineless!
