I have not seen that but it mat be possible but many things are unsettled after the TSSAA rattled the Tennessee high school football world with the announcement of the super 32 schools.  It is all base on number of students. Catholic has about 675 students. Add the 1.8 multiplier and that puts them at about1200 plus. It is possible if Maryville does not move up.  from the proposed 5A. To move up there would have to be a slot so to speak. Catholic is in 4A, Maryville is in 6A but has a population qualifying it for the lesser 5A. In fact in the new super 32, Maryville is not included with the 32 largest high schools. They would have to move up to be in that classification. But before that happens, one of the designated super 32 schools would have to move down. I am not so sure any of the super 32 wants to move down since all super 32 schools qualify for the state playoffs even if their record is 0-10. Yes, even if they do not win a district game, or any games, they still qualify for the first round of the TSSAA playoffs. 

Those numbers are from 4 years ago,  Catholic's numbers are down.  I was told the enrollment was between 615 and 620 and maybe less.  Kids apply but then enroll else where. That would be around 1100 more or less.

If that is the case this year, I hope CRB doesn't throw his kicker in front of the bus again.

Go Warriors.

Coach Bradley took points off the board.  His kicker made the FG giving CAK the lead, there was a penalty and he choose to take the ball on the goal line, their running back fumbled and Dominic Souder returned it almost 90 yards for a touchdown.  Catholic's offense was struggling so the FG may have been the deciding factor.  Coach Bradley threw himself under the bus on that one lol. If I remember correctly Catholic's other TD was an interception returned by Chase Kuerschen and a FG. Catholic was playing it's first game without Jordan Anderson who was injured in the Coalfield game and CAK had some players out with injuries as well.  Both teams should be healthy and I'm looking forward to a good game (fingers crossed).

Although no single play is responsible for a win or loss, the one that sticks out in my mind was the QB keeping the ball instead of handing it off to the RB who got into the endzone without trouble. This will be a great measuring stick for The Warriors. Nice to be at home too and not have to travel that massive distance to Catholic.

That Cedar Bluff traffic makes travel unbearable lol Edited by QSouth89

I agree, this should be an interesting game for both squads.  Last year's loss was painful considering all the opportunities for the Warriors to have won the game, but the Irish prevailed.  I haven't seen Catholic this year, but CAK is improved over last years squad.  Catholic has a considerable size advantage from what I'm told, but with the exception of 2011-12, that is normally the case for the Warriors.  CAK's QB play is improved as well as the play from the receivers.  A solid D line has played well so far, but very thin, and lots of small, young, inexperienced players filling out the rest of the defensive roster.  This version of the Warriors will be a work in progress all season long, but the future looks promising.  Catholic will be by FAR the best team CAK has seen this year to date.  I expect it to be more of a shoot out than a slugfest. Looking forward to an exciting game.

 

P.S:  have to brag just a little here...it was nice to see 2 CAK alumni playing for the Vols Sunday night.  Having any of our players on the SEC stage is a new thing for us.  Go #25 & #63...proud of you and all the Vol players...seeing more of those TN high school players on the roster warms my heart (so long as they can play...ha)

Before the season started, I had picked Catlick to win this game. But right now, I pick CAKe in a thriller:

1. Home field advantage

2. Added several new playmakers

 

Don't get me wrong, Catlick returns most of its starters from last year, so experience will be a factor there too.

 

CAKe 31, Catlick 28

 

Idk if I can make it, but I hope for a great game between 2 great teams.

I know how you feel, I only coached Harrison Smith in basketball but when I see him out there for the Vikings it makes me feel proud. Looking forward to an exciting game. If it's a shoot out then the defenses aren't doing there job lol.

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.

      Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
