Milan at CPA. The Rematch

[midtnmale]

Congratulations to both teams on a great game and a fine season.

 

I wanted to see CPA win and represent 10AA and the mid-state in the finals. But, that was not to be. Sorry to see the Lions departing for another district next season. The Panthers could use the competition. Good luck!

I will be chatting with our Milan buddies on the other thread, so I would like to congratulate CPA on a great season! I've kept up with you guys from afar and had hoped both last year and this year to see you in Cookeville (no disrespect at all for Milan, just that I have family associated with CPA). My cousins already had laid out the plans for a world class tailgate in the event that they won, so now I'm going to have to crash some of the Bulldogs tailgates. I watched the game via internet last night and it was a physical struggle all night long. Both teams seemed to handle themselves in a manner that represented their schools well. As a supporter of another private playing in D1 I understand the issues CPA has to address in the court of public opinion, and of course I don't want get into all of that. But I was proud to watch how you handled yourselves and happy to read on this thread the positive comments from the Milan fans about the attitude of your fans, players and coaches. Keep up the good work and keep doing it the right way.

They also had laid out a firework show for their victory last night....sorry we spoiled that for them also

We'll, you've got to be prepared. If you had of been thinking quickly you could have probably gotten a really good price on them right after the game

TSSAA stopped us from shotting fireworks a few years ago. It was a great game and CPA had a great team but the turnovers could not be overcome.

Ronnie Dunn, our neighbor to the east of the field, put on the fireworks to honor our seniors. He has a recording studio at the back of his property and we sometimes mess up his recording sessions with our events. Good luck FD, on Friday. Get ready for 29. I think he's still running through us.......

If you just look at the stats you would not think it was a close game but it was.

Fireworks were from neighbor Ronnie Dunn's home. Thanks for those.

I thought the poster was saying that you had a fireworks show prepared but didn't get to use it. We did fireworks last year just before the regular season finale against Alcoa. TSSAA relaxed their rules about fireworks after an appeal from Anderson County, but you MUST get all the proper permits or the Fire Marshal will be at your door on Monday morning with a nice fine. Thats cool that Ronnie Dunn did that for you all despite the outcome.

True, I was at the Beech vs. North Side game last night, and there was fireworks at the game last night.

Very few teams could give up 4 turnovers in the second half of a semifinal game and have the ball on the one yard line with 1:30 to go with the chance to tie the game. A holding call moved the ball back to the 25 and Milan held from there. Seems like Milan was more prepared to start the game and executed in the first half. CPA did not adjust until mid 3rd quarter, but then had the offense and defense clicking. Turnovers were costly and drive killers.
