That is incorrect! The "regular season champion" is the recognized district champion. The tournament champion is just for the tournament bragging rights/Region Tournament seeding.

 

It's the same thing in college basketball as well. The regular season champion is the recognized champion of each conference and the tournament championships are simply for bragging rights/NCAA Tournament seeding.

 

Cheatham County is the recognized District 11-AA Champion for 2011-2012. Harpeth won the 2012 District 11-AA Tournament Championship and as a result enters the Region 6-AA Tournament as a #1 seed.

Are you given anything for that regular season "championship"? Are you announced at regions, substates, or state as District 11AA Champs? No sir. It is not like college. If you do not win the tournament you did not win the district. You guys have had a good season, but 2012 champions are Harpeth and Waverly in girls.

Bet you feel stupid

 

Not at all! As I have already stated TWICE now.....Harpeth was the better team last night. Harpeth is now 1-2 against the Cubs in basketball (0-1 against the Cubs in football) this school year. I am just glad that you (and your friends) didn't have to resort to chanting "let's play baseball" at a basketball event this time. Now that is what I would call.........."stupid".

 

Best of Luck to all 11-AA teams in the Regions :thumb:

 

Hey coachrop, you are absolutely correct in saying that postseason wins are "sweeter" and I'd admit that to anyone. My point (which you as a coach will agree with me on) is that the regular season champion is the recognized champion for 2011-2012. The tournament championship (which means more at this point in the year) does not take away Cheatham's 2011-2012 District 11-AA Championship.

 

The same thing goes for Creek Wood's girls. They won the regular season title which means that they are the recognized 2011-2012 champions. Waverly's girls are the tourney champs.

Lol Ok so if you say so it makes it so. Then why no plaque, why no recognition, why does history not record you that way? because regular season if for seeding purposes only. Nothing more. Each sport has only one district champ. I know you want it to be different, but it is not.

I'd take being the last one standing in the post season every single time. It's all for seeding until you get to state. I recognize the ones that are still playing when everybody else is sitting on the couch. Thats the team I want to be on. The one still playing. Right now Cheatham has earned a 1 seed for the district tournament and Harpeth has the 1 seed for region. In the end, they should be judged by who stayed in it the longest. TBD in basketball. Harpeth was the last team playing by the 2nd round in football. Nobody else wanted to be playing because they'd already accomplished everything they wanted to accomplish? I don't think so.

I agree with this. No one is saying Cheatham isn't a good ball team who can't go anywhere. Littlegar is just saying you don't get hardware for the regular season. When I played, I didnt want to lose the regular season games, but I wanted to be known as the District Tournament Champs. There isnt as much pressure in the regular season either. When people see you are the District Tournament champs, they know that that certain team out-performed everyone else when it mattered most. Now the last 4 teams in 11AA have another chance to out last each other.

If you think there is no pressure in distric play then you've never been in a 10 - 0 district situation, then lose one and play the last regular season game for the district championship. EVERY BODY PLAYS FOR THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP, winning the tourny is just dessert after the BIG MEAL.

First, I am not from Harpeth, so quit telling me Harpeth's reord. Second, the pressure is not the same as the tournament. There is some but not as much, and yes I would know.

I guess Cheatham can go buy their own hardware to hang that says regular season champs, go ahead and get one for every win this year and fill up your trophy case. Our District Championship is already on display at Harpeth.

 

Cheatham had a great season, I'm not taking that away from them. They also are loaded for next year and have a lot to look forward to. Harpeth peaked at the right time and played three of the best games of the season at the tourney. The real tests begin now and I hope both teams and all of 11AA does well. We are through beating each other up for a week, lets concentrate on the next level.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
