GILES VS CPA

[sportsnerd]

Tough night for GC. CPA getting better each week with lots of new players. Got to say watching online the GC stadium looks really nice with all the brick, great visitor stands and field. GC will be fine and end up with a good year, just got shocked early and never recovered.

Coach Martin at CPA is now 28-3 in his first 31 games.

I honestly thought this was going to be a close game. Other than not having enough bulletin board motivation, what were the keys to CPA's large victory?

Wow, I can honestly say I have never been a part of a running clock at the Brickyard with  the Bobcats on the wrong side.  Welcome to 12AA football CPA and Coach Walt and Staff.  CPA will walk thru this district if they play that way all year.  We had no answer.  Was more impressed with #7 JR Osborn than any other player, did it all but drive the bus, I guess.  Heads up CATS new week starts Sunday.  GO CATS!!!

Hats off to a VERY good CPA team. Cats had no answer tonight. 5x said it. #7 is a work horse. But, I'll give the credit to their O-line. It was by far the best we have faced since the 2011 Greeneville bunch. Across the board they were one of the most disciplined teams I have ever seen in high school. They will walk through our district for sure. Coach Martin was a class act.

 

The Bobcats will bounce back no doubt. Time to pay attention young men. Get to work...

Met some very nice folks down at the brickyard tonite. The press box was just amazing and everyone treated us like family. I was surprised by the score, as well. Didn't think we would score as much. Ya'll keep working with the guys, they've got a good base to start from. Hope you can overcome some of the current injuries, as well. Thanks for all the great hospitality, class act.

WOMG, we took your advise today and visited Sarge's Shack before the game.  Had the catfish, brown rice and homeade salad dressing just as you said and it was some of the best stuff we've had to eat in a long time.  Great staff too.  Very friendly and helpful.  Thanks again for the tip and helping make our trip.

 

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way.  It's a long way until November.  You'll be there for sure.

 

 

I wish I would have went to Sarge's - that was my choice but the wife out voted me.  Ended up at La Fuente.  Horrible food.  Should have stuck to my guns.  Good luck Bobcats....love the field.

I haven't witnessed a game like that in the Brickyard since we had a different Coach Smith. First off, why did we start the game  off with a trick play? That's the act of a desperate team that thinks they have no chance at winning and it put us in a terrible position. Also, the punt with 3 seconds left in the half??? 

 

I was very upset that Coach Smith didn't take any blame after the game when talking to the players. He said that they still had people doing stuff the old way and some doing it the new way, putting it at the players fault. That is a coaching problem. I think we made a grave mistake not paying Oconner and staff enough to convince them to stay. Hopefully we will bounce back from this embarrassing loss. 

 

Not taking anything away from CPA, they were one of the most disciplined teams I have seen in a long time.They shouldn't have a problem running through the rest of the district. But we should've been in this game.

I agree,glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way.OC made adjustments Smith sticks to the game plan even though its not working.

Maybe coach smith should learn to do stuff"the old way "

....ok lets see here. The "trick play" aforementioned was the perfect call. If we execute one block on the left corner we are off to the races. But, we did not make the block. The punt before half-time? Coach Martin is a class act. Both teams were leaving the field when the zebras "think" CPA wants a time out. There was no return on for CPA. The half was over for both staffs. Just had to pacify the refs.

 

CPA was in a 3-4. So tell us how you would attack it? You want to throw the ball down field with 6 db's? Or do you establish the run and throw underneath? You can't do either when your getting whipped on the line of scrimmage. You can't do either when you miss assignments. So move over to the defensive side. CPA has a legit SEC receiver along with others that can get the job done. You have to STOP the run before you can slow down the pass. Lining up wrong and not getting off blocks. We excelled in that area all night. So is that a game plan miscue of a case of getting your butt handed to you? Adjustments? How can you "adjust" when you are not executing what is being called now? 

 

Oconner was gone period. It wasn't about the money. A school system can only pay what the salary scale dictates. Oconner abandoned our young men in January. Because of the loopholes in schools system policies, the tax payers wound up paying him until 3 weeks before school was out. Coach Walt Smith only had 3 days to put together a one week spring practice with no staff. No 7 on 7's this summer. We were limited to 2 fall scrimmages when everyone else got 4. He had to hire a staff, replace a all state qb, most of the o-line, rb's, 2 d-line, and 2 lb's all of which were all district. Oconner also helped to run one of our best returning linemen off to another school. Oconner set us up with four 5a non-district foes + Ensworth. The T$$AA awarded us CPA. And there's more but that's all water under the bridge and that bridge is burnt to a crisp! 

 

Jimmy's & Joe's. X's & O's. We got the Jimmy's & Joe's. They need to work on following the X's & O's. Come play-off time the Bobcats will be ready. They got man-handled by a great team and a staff that's been together. The progress that's been made since the 1st week of fall practice is outstanding. I look for the young men to bounce back this week. Bring it. The Bobcats will be ready......
