2014 Cheatham County Cubs

[bluedevilpride2012]

The 2014 Cubs hope to return to the playoffs under second year coach Brian Mintz. They return a lot of starters to both sides of the football and are in position to make a strong run. On a personal note I hope that it is a good season for the Cubs. On years ending with "4" the Cubs have enjoyed great success.

 

Thirty years ago (1984) the Cubs went 9-2 and won the Booster Bowl (vs Whites Creek). It was the football program's first bowl victory since the school relocated (the current school opened in 1970). That was Bennie Daniel's final year as the head football coach of the Cubs.

 

Twenty years ago (1994) the Cubs advanced to the TSSAA State Playoffs for the third time in school history under first year head coach Terry Arrington. That year the Cubs football team won the first playoff game in program history (at Lexington) thanks to a memorable performance from running back Jeremiah Ligon.

 

Ten years ago (2004) the Cubs returned to the state playoffs for what would be a third consecutive season under third year coach Cody Finley. This time however the Cubs actually earned the right to host a home playoff game for the first time in school history (vs McKenzie). The Cubs scored 50 points that night and won thanks to the performance of quarterback Chris Langley.

 

Those were 3 outstanding football teams that many people in the area remember fondly. Here's to hoping that the 2014 team can create the same type of memories.

Maybe the Cubs and the Eagles of Motown can have really good seasons and just maybe the last game of the season could mean a lot for both teams. Time will tell that's for sure

Thanks LBD for posting the information on the Cubs 2004 playoff game and how Finley was

The coach and Langley was the QB. Their win in that playoff game was special.

 

We hope that the combination of Finley and Langley can get the Rebels to the playoffs and

Get a win. If they do there will be a celebration in Dover you can bet on that. Good luck to

the Cubs and best wishes on a successful season.

How many starters does Cheatham have returning this season? How many seniors did yall lose to graduation? Hopefully CC is able to turn it around this year, yall play in a pretty tough district.

Cheatham will need to replace the entire offensive backfield, all the linebackers, and Brett Beamer will be the only returning DB. With only about 35 players and 3 coaches on the team Cheatham will need to play tough. Luckily they're usually a pretty tough bunch.

The cubs will be a tough out in the district this year, however this may not equal wins. The big advantage for the cubs as well as others in the district is that I don't see any district team who is head and shoulders above the rest so anything can happen.

Don't forget about White House. They got to be the favorites.

Yes, White House is the favorite, no surprise if they finish on top again. I guess I feel that this year the difference between the top 3-4 teams is not as big of a gap as in past years.

I'd have to give White House the edge but not by much. Westmoreland should be tough but you never know in high school

You are so right about this. How many times where we have seen on paper a team with superior talent get punched in the gut and not recover. I know many sports require hard work and desire, but in football more so than other sports, desire can overcome many advantages other teams may have.
