Cheatham County @ CPA: Class AA Sectional Battle


Recommended Posts

Why the starters still playing, alley oops, dunks, running the score up etc. with the game in hand ?  Cubs, you had a good season, and nothing to be ashamed of playing this team.  I'm tired of watchng this.

Bballer - I understand your point.  Coaches with class would have pulled their starters.  Congratulations to the Cubs on a great season.

Just got home from the game and have lots of questions of why Cheatham stayed in a man to man defense and didn't try to protect their big guy inside and why I never saw a screen set on offense. It was obvious those kids were very talented, but were unprepared for the game. CPA has ran the same 3/4 defense for quite some time and I know its good, but as quick and as well as Cheatham handles the ball, well, nobody was moving without the ball. Any thoughts? Would it have made a difference? A lesser Spring Hill team cut it to 4 mid way through the fourth quarter last year using an extended zone. And Saunders was completely taken out of the game in the first half, should have set some screens for him. No way is that game supposed to be that lopsided!

Sounds good when you are typing it on a keyboard, but not so easy on the court. Do you really think over 90 TN HS coaches in a row over the last 3 years do not have enough sense to scheme a win over CPA? The big mistake they made was trying to play up tempo against the best full court team in the state. To beat CPA you have to wait for good shots (not easy), make most of them (even harder) and not turn it over against CPA pressure (nearly impossible). Creekwood did it for a half and was still down by 5 until CPA made their run in the 2nd half.

the entire state knew it would happen, with the exception of CC. Weak district hurt them. Congrats on a good season

Congrats to CPA for playing an outstanding game tonight and advancing to try and win their 3rd straight state tournament. That is one heckuva team and it will take a monumental effort for someone to knock them off. Blackwell is one of the best high school players I have ever seen and Bonds was outstanding tonight as well. The Cubs needed CPA to have an off night and have everything go perfectly to win but neither happened tonight. Coach Maddux had a great plan and took Saunders out of the game by running multiple defenders at him every time he touched it. Don't have any delusions about it changing the outcome, but the quick fouls on Darden expedited the process for sure. Great season for the Cubs, who finish 25-2 with losses to a pair of state tournament squads. Cheatham's seniors have had a great run and brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Thank you guys. Good luck to CPA in Murfreesboro. You have an outstanding team and were really impressive tonight.

    • 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.
