Ensworth has never lost twice to the same team in one season until Friday night.

BA wins a close one. Coach Ricky will emphasis turnover mistakes from 1st meeting, making this game close.

 

MBA will dominate MUS and will win big setting up an all Nashville DII championship game in Cookville against BA.

OFERTWO.....

More to come, but Ricky Bowers was ejected after the final whistle tonight. If it stands, he won't be on the sidelines in Cookeville.

From what I saw he was too close to a ref. .. As in shoved one ... Almost a hockey brawl at the end of that game .. The first drive of the 2nd half shifted the momentum of that game . I tho hit Ensworth made adjustments and BA just could not get it going in the second half.

Away from the computer, but congrats to Ensworth for making championship plays. Big plays were the difference. Close, gritty, great game between two of the best teams in Tennessee.

These two teams. They just are who they are. They figure out a way to win no matter what. That's why they are champions.

just could not understand the BA play calling or again our reads on pass plays.  It was not like we were getting significant pressure.  you must open up with the passing game to open up the run game.  can't win throwing 4 yd passes.  defense did what they needed to from the BA side and obviously E the same. You have to have the capability to throw the ball downfield. both teams battled hard and i agree tough gritty game.  disappointed in the ending esp with BA  - no excuse for it - that's not who we are

BA played an excellent first half .. I was encouraged .. Oh well the drought continues. I thought BA showed a lot or grit over the course of the year and will miss the seniors on this team.

 

Congrats to all the teams and especially to MUS and Emsworth. I have no idea how to call the matchup between the two teams so I'll just pop off and see you guys next year.

 

It's been fun .. The season has passed quickly as does life.

 

Wishing all you guys a happy holiday. We all have a lot to be thankful for even when life does not turn out the way we wish sometimes.

Ferby was a beast this game, clearing still battling that torn LCL. The sophomore QB stepped up huge might be a better passer than Settles. Anyone agree?

He is absolutely a better passer than PJ, though PJ is a great kid and brings a lot to the position. In my opinion, Ensworth can be a much more balanced and explosive team with Coleman at the helm. I think he is clearly the Tiger's qb of the future, with PJ helping at a different position. I was more worried going into the game that Ensworth would have problems replacing Coleman at linebacker, where he has been a strong performer all season, but they coped extremely well against a very potent offense.

 

Props to BA for a great season and a great game last night - they seem to have things headed in the right direction and I am very excited for the future of D2-AA.

I agree looked so much smoother back in the pocket, he completed so many crucial 3rd down conversions, only time will tell what Ricky will end up doing with the QB situation. As of now Coleman is #1on my depth chart. Any news on Ferby? Seemed like that knee was giving him problems towards the end of the 3rd quarter. It seemed as if BA knew his situation and targeted that leg every snap.
