Thats my take on it. I mean they lost to Stewart County.
What cost CA the game to Stewart County was a 15 yard penalty that allowed Stewart County to tie the score near the end of the 4th quarter. Without that, there would have been no overtime, and CA would have won the game. BTW, CA deserved the penalty, but that was a costly mistake that led to the one loss.

CA 79 McEwen 56 Congratulations Cougars

You know its true but you would not admit it because you are from CA. By the way you guys are doing a nice job of recruiting up there since you are so good at stats what percent of those players are recruits.
That is easy; I don't need a calulator for that. The percentage is 0%. I'm going back to CA's regional game.

5510 you complain about the refs more than anyone I've ever seen. Grow up.
Let's throw in some statistics to this accusation against 5510.
I have just read 20 of 5510's more recent posts. Out of the 20, 5510 has complained about the officiating in 13 of the 20 posts. In particular, 5510 has complained about the refs calling CA games in 12 of the 20. This means that 5510 complains about referees 65% of the time, and in particular, about officiating over CA games 60% of the time.
Let the stats speak for themselves.

Ca killed them 2nd string played half of the 4th quarter
The reason you do not see scores from regular season with CA beating opponents by 30, 40, or more points is because in many of their games, the second and third teams have played 25% - 50% of the game. I am very proud of Coach Smith for not running up huge leads on the opponents; we at CA know all too well how that feels. In addition, there have been many CA games in which all team members dressed out have been able to play. I know there was at least one regular season game where every single boy on the Cougar squad scored.

Ca has a good team nobody can take that away from them. I have seen them play three times this year and the refs do cater to them i am not saying that they dont earn there wins but the refs do like them. The thing everyone needs to remember is that all the public schools they play cant go out and recruit players like private schools do not trying to make anybody mad but its true i dont care what anybody says
I have been associated with CA for 10 years, and I can tell you two things. First, we have never had refs "cater" to us. More often than not over the last 10 years, if anything, refs have been prejudiced against us. This season, I have seen some refs be inconsistent, but that inconsistency went both ways - one minute they would call it tight and the next they were allowing the boys more play.
While I cannot speak for other private schools, I can tell you that CA does NOT recruit players. If we recruited players, we would be up at the top of every sport on a frequent basis. The Smith family brought all four of their boys to CA about six years ago. It was a blessing but not recruting.

Who one the first game in the semis... 10A Clarksville Academy or 9A Huntland...?
How did the game go throughout...?
CA over Huntland 63 - 34, or something like that
-
At this level, which like you say is the highest level of competition 99.8% of these players will ever see, what is anyone learning? How to not do your best?
Again, I feel sorry for the team that was told by their coach you are not good enough to play with your best effort. Those kids will never know if they could have won that game by giving their all. Great life-lesson there, Coach
Well said, TroyJ746.

I have seen all of their home games this year:)
Then you know that for many of CA's games players off the bench have often played anywhere from 25% to over 50% of the game with most, if not all, of the starters on the bench.

Clarksville Academy - I think it is our year.

CSAS versus CA was a very enjoyable game to watch, and not just because CA came out on top. It was a well-played game both ways. The officials allowed the boys to play, but when they did call things, they called it equally on both sides, which is something we do not always get to see, so it is very much appreciated.
CSAS has a great team, and #4, in particular, is an excellent player. Their fans are classy, too. They wished us luck before we played Wednesday, and our students were impressed to have some of their fans congratulate us after the game today. I left M'boro with a good feeling not only about our team but about our day's opponent.

Another quote from today's Leaf-Chronicle; it is from the article "Clarksville Academy uses tenacious defense in 14-point victory"
I encourage you to read the whole article.
In the four Class A state tournament quarterfinal games played on Wednesday at MTSU's Murphy Center, only one team scored more than 55 points, and no team shot better than 45 percent. Clarksville Academy and Oliver Springs each shot 45 percent in their respective quarterfinal games.
Clarksville Academy, the state's No. 1-ranked team, beat Wayne County 54-40, while Oliver Springs was knocked out of the tournament with a 50-44 loss to Grace Baptist.
Knowing offense alone wouldn't be enough, the Cougars placed a premium on rebounding and defense, and executed both to near perfection.
-
Final....
Clarksville Acd. - 54
Wayne County - 40
Malcolm Smith led the Cougars with 21 points and 15 rebounds before fouling out in the 4th quarter...he played with foul trouble the whole game....He went to the line 11 times but only hit 5 times....
The Cougars had a huge rebounding advantage (46-24) but also had 19 tournovers...Wayne County had 10 steals...CA didn't do very well against the press...They shot 45% from the field and hit one of their 8 three point attempts...They hit 17 for 28 free throws....
Wayne County butchered the three point line 3 for 24...They shot 24% total...They only hit 13 of 24 free throw attempts...
Wayne County was led in scoring by Tyler Rice with 12 points followed by Parrish with 11....
I don't think CA put too much fear in the remaining teams in the tournament with their performance today....
CSAS is more athletic and will give CA a bit more competition in the semi-final round....
Good Morning,
As I read this morning paper (The Leaf-Chronicle), I thought about this, so I thought I'd share the opening of "Cougars Get the Job Done".
Quote from the article:
MURFREESBORO — It wasn't pretty. It wasn't perfect. It wasn't even typical Clarksville Academy basketball.
But a win is a win, and Cougars coach Josh Smith will take it.
Have a great day!

the kid who guarded tyler rice all day deserves alot of credit. He did an excellent job in shadowing him everywhere he went. Not sure how many rice ended up with but he is the main scoring threat and was held in count during the game.
Quote from today's Leaf-Chronicle in Clarksville:
Wayne County (20-11) tried desperately to get its star shooter, Tyler Rice, into the flow of the game in the second half but Heath Dyer's suffocating defense on Rice forced the Wayne County guard into difficult shots outside his range. Rice would finish with 12 points, half of which came in the fourth quarter as Wayne County scrambled to close its double digit deficit. Heath fouled out late in the 4th Quarter.

I'm curious Purple & Gold Standard. Were you even at the games today? If not, I was there to see each team play except the last two who were paired.
BTW, I remembered where I had seen your posts before....four days ago you were running down Westwood. You said they had no depth and would not be a threat to Humboldt....similar to the way you were running down CA earlier today; however, Westwood was almost god-like to you today. You're making my head spin.
You didn't see me running down Westwood....I wasn't running down CA either...
Giving an opinion and running down someone are two very different things...Don't be so dramatic...
Okay....in my opinion your opinion sounded as if you were running them down...just a bit. I'm sorry if I offended you.
You didn't answer my question, though. Were you in the gym today. It seems you are going by what was on the radio, but I was there and saw with my own eyes, and sometimes that makes a difference. I've got steaks on the grill, so time to go away for now. Have a good evening.
-
yea exactly which im sure is below his every game average.
If it was number 11, then that is Heath Dyer. He fouled out very late in the game. He has excellent defensive skills. I was not paying so much attention to who was guarding whom, but if you can give me the number or a physical description, I may be able to tell you who it was.

I will give you that....based on today, but Friday is another day.

Did the boys from CA play as well today as I have seen them play? No. Many more shots were missed than should have been, but they should have a better feel for the gym and the baskets now. While we are talking about missed shots, it seemed as if about a third of WC shots were air balls....they did not even bounce on the rim and come out. Was Wayne County effective in steals? Yes. CA will need to make better passes and get good control of the ball before taking off down the court if they want to continue. Were the Smith boys in foul trouble? Yes, but it was not because of anything they were doing. All those two had to do was get close enough to breathe on a player and a foul was called. If it had really been called equally both ways, despite turnovers and not hitting the percentages CA boys normally hit, I am guessing it would have been about a 15 - 20 point greater spread.
Heck, this might work to CA's advantage. The next team to play CA may underestimate the team.
One thing is for sure; CA did not get the number of wins they have because they stink.

10A District Tournament Game @ 5:30 Game on 2/19/20
Clarksville Academy - 60
East Robertson - 36

Way to go Cougars! There truly is next year since you are a young team. CA was the only Class A school in the state tournament who had not been to state before, so you have gained that experience. You will know better what to expect next year, and I fully expect to see the team back in M'boro next year.

Well we have our Top Ten teams for the season and now we must pick the top 10 losers. This should not be very hard because we have a large number to pick from this year. Some of these schools are already talking about next year! To keep everyone happy ?€œbirdie?€? had this great idea to pick the worse team from each district and since she is the bread winner for our trailer I thought it was a great idea. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

# 10 in you Class A Loser list, Clarksville Academy, just happened to make it to the Final Eight , and they are going to STATE. Sounds like big time winners to me. You missed that call!

The link for Clarksville Academy is incorrect - it takes you to Clarksville High School

It came down to the last 5 minutes again, but the Patriots pulled out another close one. Turnovers were the one ailment for Heritage as they fumbled 3 times and threw one interception. The Patriots offense went for nearly 400 yards and the defense held the Cougars of Clarksville Academy to around 200. Joey McClung had another big game throwing for 200 yards again, his one interception was the fall back. Congratulations Patriots. Good luck rest of the season.
Saw the game. Given the difference in the size of the schools and the age of the players on each team, CA has the better team. The score of 21-14 in favor of WHH does not reflect the game played. If you want to talk about turnovers, it takes a good team to force turnovers while not having them.

Of Booker's yardage, 90 yards was on the one break down the field for the touchdown.
