If what I am hearing is true, then the Lord works in mysterious ways at the following address: 7171 Oak Ridge Highway, Knoxville, TN 37931 (Grace Christian Academy).

 

I would agree. Those defenses He put together at GCA in the playoffs for the 2009 South Pittsburg game (57 points given up), 2008 Greenback game (61), and 2007 Midway game (49) give a new meaning to the word "holy".

 

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. (And tackle somebody.)"

 

 

So a team can cheat as long they end up getting beaten badly? dry.gif

"Cheat" and "getting beaten badly" would largely be considered a non sequitur. This is a classic example of "needing to fire the recruiting coordinator" if there ever was one if the allegations are on target.

 

I don't know what's going on at this school. If they (or anyone else) are cheating, they need to be punished accordingly. But from what I see on paper from this school's defense in football (not to mention its girls basketball program - I assume the 2009-2010 record is not a misprint), if cheating is occurring, then there is some horrid assessment of talent taking place by the conspirators.

You have to see where Grace has come from, they have made huge strides over the past few years,Sp ran over alot of teams. 4 years ago , they would have scored 50 in the 1st quarter. Grace was actually up 13 to nothing at one point.Grace has helped themselves a ton with transfers, some tend to think its great coaching, but the truth of the matter is, they started winning as the transfers came in. Its no coinsidence. They had a very successful coach ,but I'm afraid he wasn't taking shortcuts at the rate they wanted him to.

Kind of like the way Hampton has been doing things the past few years. Just not much being said about all the kids they bring in each and every year.

Yeah , sort of like Hampton Joe, as far as I know Hampton has had 2 starters transfer in. in the past few years, a lineman came from Knoxville and the Qb came from a nearby school. The qb went to Hampton in elementry . He and his brother went to Elizabethton ,the dad didn't like his brothers situation so the younger one came back to Hampton.

Hampton is probably our biggest rival right now , so trust me if they were getting more than their share of transfers I'd be the first one on here raising a stink. pujos right as far as I know they have had very few transfers that actually play the last few years. Most public schools our size get 4-5 kids transfer to their school each year. 1 out of 20 of those will play a sport and even fewer of them will be any good. GCA has had more transfers in the last 3 years than we (Cosby) have had in 20 , and heres the kicker.....they all end up being starters on their football , basketball , and baseball teams. SP beats alot of people by 50 just so happened it was in the third round of the playoffs last year. Lots of schools have been playing alot longer than they have and haven't even sniffed the third round.

If South Pittsburg "beats a lot of people by 50", then what separates GCA from all of the other teams who also get beat by 50?

 

I'll say this: for my 1A money, give me a South Pittsburg or Union City or Huntingdon for a title run each year, and you can have the field, including the "big city" privates. Those schools' non-varsity football teams even have more tradition and grit than any of these Johnny-Come-Lately ABCs.

Everybody else knows what will happen. You will have 7-10 "new" players come to Grace Christian Academy and have their tuition paid for out of the goodness of the school.

    • I believe that was last year. I was interested in the Jones vs Baker comment, so I went back and looked at GC. I am not a fan of either nor am I a baseball guru. This looks like to me the duel was not close and if the errors would not have been made Eagleville would have won. I assume you are a little biased. I do think your mph for Jeffcoat and Baker must be from last year.  Baker-85 pitches 67 strikes. 5.2 innings, 5H, 1BB, 0ER and 7K's. 3 errors  Jones- 78 pitches 37 strikes. 4 innings, 2H, 5BB, 0ER and 1K. 1 error   Adams and the UH kid are really good as well. What about South Pitt and Oakdale? I heard they have some good ones. 
    • I hate this for all the kids in the program and fans alike. I can't recall of anything like this before in my lifetime but I'm sure it isn't a first. After criminal investigations are complete and the TSSAA looks into this the program it will be facing Nuclear Winter for some time to come. It's always the innocent left behind that end up paying the price for something someone else has done. I'm sure the transfer portal will be very active in Clinton over the summer months. How could you find a good coach worth his salt that would take on a situation like this not knowing what will happen. 
    • I’ve seen Jeffcoat in person twice and he was 84-87 both times and the one time I saw Baker he was low 80’s, he actually got out dueled by Jones from ER in that outing.
