CAK looking for game Week 5

[Old Warhorse]

Trying to help coach with our 2011 schedule again. Thought it was finally complete after speaking with over 80 different schools. Surprise! Fulton has decommitted and now we are in a bad spot trying to fill our schedule. Week 5 was when we were supose to play the Falcons, so that is the best option. However; week 7 is our open date and we can take week 5 as an open date and play someone on week 7 if that is what works with your schedule. CAK does NOT recruit players! We have app. 417 students. We graduate 19 seniors this year, so the next couple of years could be iffy for the Warriors. Give us a try and improve your pass defense. Seriously, either PM me or call CAK at 865-690-4721 and ask for Coach Rusty Bradley. Thanks for you consideration

 

 

Try the TSSAA website. Bradley County and Riverdale both available in week 5. Week 7 has a few listed including Anderson County. Thought they were on the schedule in another week, maybe you can switch that around.

 

Good luck getting any public schools getting to play you."CAK does NOT recruit players!" We have heard that all before. Everybody believes you.

Hey Photoman! What's up with your team backing out?

There will probably be some hogwash about how they don't like privates or how there AD is upset about CAK firing Darden as bb coach a couple years ago. But, Fulton was fine with sending their basketball team over to CAK a week or so ago (CAK won by 19 by the way, but without Fultons best player I must add) and playing CAK at there place in basketball this summer. Fulton also ended the Powell series, said it was getting "too heated" between the 2 schools.

 

I've always respected Fultons athletic program but this puts a bit of a smudge on it for me. My boys grew up playing against the baby Falcons and we had some great games with them, won about as many as we lost, but always good hard fought games. Disappointed this one is not going to happen. So be it I quess. Now to the task of finding a replacement.

Switch Anderson County to Week 7 and sign on to play Maryville in the Week 0 Blount County Bowl Games.

That would put Alcoa in a tough spot though cause we would have to find another Non district game for 2012 since we cant play CAK in the second half of the Kickoff Classic.

Bradley was a possibility but was told they are now FULL. We'll double check.

 

Warhorse, hate on Grace, Brentwood Academy (when they played public), etc... but you are way off base with lumping CAK into a group of schools you think recruits players. I know you will never believe it because you don't want to. The rural schools have very little chance of recruiting, but metro publics are recruiting players constantly, I know because thats where I was before moving my kids to CAK. No child left behind laws, bogus educational custodianships, are just 2 previlant ways of legally recruiting. Its sad that the publics feel the way you do. I pay my taxes just like you. A portion of those taxes go to pay your (public)football coaches, pay for your fields, pay for your football equipment, pay for your teachers, etc...yet I use none of those services or amenities. We accept the 1.8 multiplier to compensate for the "no designated school zone" advantage plus pay a hefty tuition to send our kids to a school not run by the government. I know it will get you or me nowhere to debate this, that is certainly beating a dead horse, and neither of us will change our minds. Your comment just caught me in a time of frustration dealing with the same issue over and over again. Sorry for the rant.

We've already discussed the option of moving AC to week 7 to open up other possibilities, but of course that would have to be with AC's approval and from what I've been told they really don't want to do that. They like having week 7 open. So, we really are in no position to push. We're just thankful the Mavericks are scheduling us.

 

As far as Maryville goes, I would like to have seen that game this year or last, but next year I'm afraid we would be biting off more than we could chew. But it still would be an interesting game and I'd like to see it. But Goddard brings up a good point, and we already play Alcoa twice a year, are you really thinking we want to play you guys 3 times?

No. Considering the fact an opponent for Maryville has yet to be nailed down, and considering it is going to be near impossible to arrange in-state competition if they win Saturday, it may be the only way this bowl thing is pulled off the first year. Year two would have Webb vs Maryville and an another opponent for Alcoa to be named. Yes, it wil be tough for Alcoa as well, but we have an a little time to get on it and find some out of state competition if necessary. Just trying to help our buddies out a little.

[GoddardField]

Technically you could have Maryville-CAK next year and then Alcoa-CAK in 2 years be for both the district game AND the Kickoff classic. I dunno if we would be losing Webb too since they would be playing Maryville that year. That could mean 2 Non district games.

I hear Gibbs called and wanted to play wk 5....seems it is a done deal (or the ink is at least starting to dry.) Bring on the "boys of fall"

[reaction]

I'm sure these teams have been contacted, but my wish list would be in no particular order:

 

Elizabethton, Boyd Buc., Milan, Camden, Goodpasture, A-E.

 

Footballdad is right. Next year is a huge question mark for CAK. We return 2 starters on defense and 4-5 starters on offense. CAK may end up with a good team but A LOT of guys will have to step up to make that happen.

 

I am really disappointed that Fulton backed out; that was a match up I was looking forward to.

I too would love to get CAK back on the schedule. Have lots of respect for the program at CAK. Always a hard fought game.

In my opinion next years CAK will have no problem being just as good if not better than we were this year. Charley High, whether he knows it or not has already set the tempo for next year by throwing for 451 yards and really showing his leadership abillity in the Loudon game. As for loosing 4 seniors off the o line i have full confidence in Old Bradley to put a great line together to protect Charley next year. untill then...
