CPA's 19 game win streak and 37 game regular season win streak ended at Ensworth's Homecoming tonight 24-14.

CPA led 14-0 at half on a long TD pass from Weatherly to Richard and a long run by Omer, after Ensworth failed on 4th down at midfield with less than a minute to go in the half.

 

It rained the entire game until about 5 minutes left, so both offenses were limited in what they could do, and Ensworth was just stronger in the trenches on a night that demanded a running game.

 

In the second half, Ensworth took the opening kickoff and ran the ball at will using the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter on the drive. CPA had them stopped one series and had a personal foul penalty that bailed Ensworth out. CPA go the ball back on the kickoff in bad field position and threw an interception to midfield. CPA held Ensworth but another penalty kept Ensworth drive alive and CPA forced the FG that barely sneaked past the upright. On the first play after the next kickoff, CPA fumbled and Ensworth recovered at the 25. They completed a 3rd and long pass, then scored to go up 17-14.

 

4th quarter, Ensworth, up 17-14, forced a CPA punt with 4:39 left and took possession at midfield (literally on the 50 yard-line).  Ensworth used three minutes to drive for the score to go up 24-14 with 1:30 left. On the ensuing possession CPA unsuccessfully went on fourth down deep in their own territory.  Ensworth took possession and kneeled the last two plays.

 

This was a very good game and an incredible atmosphere. One of the biggest and loudest crowds I have ever seen at a HS football game. Ensworth deserved the win, but it was basically a game where CPA won the first half and played pretty well, then they had 2 turnovers and several key penalties in the second half and it cost them the game. Congrats to Ensworth on a good win. The Lions have played a tough 5 game schedule and 4-1 is nothing to be ashamed of.

CPA could not move the ball on their last possession, had to go for 4th down deep in their territory and gave up an end of game meaningless score for the final 24-14.

 

Agree with everything you said, other than what is quoted above - not sure you were watching the same game towards the end of the fourth quarter.  Ensworth, up 17-14, forced a CPA punt with 4:39 left and took possession at midfield (literally on the 50 yard-line).  Ensworth used three minutes to drive for the score to go up 24-14 with 1:30 left.  Nothing meaningless about that touchdown and had CPA been able to stop the Ensworth offense, they would have got the ball back down 3 with plenty of time left.  It was on the ensuing possession that CPA unsuccessfully went on fourth down deep in their own territory.  Ensworth took possession and kneeled the last two plays.

 

No big deal - just wanted to set the record straight. I think what you saw was a very young Ensworth line start to find itself in the second half.

 

It was a great game and a great atmosphere.  Good luck to both teams as they move forward towards their respective playoffs.  

 

P.S.  If you enjoyed that atmosphere, you should come to an Ensworth/MBA, Ensworth/BA or BA/MBA game some time!!  Better yet, come on over to D2 and you can enjoy that kind of game environment on an almost-weekly basis.  We would love to have a team like y'all join our league!

Sorry about that. Yes, I left when CPA was down 17-14 and had 4th down deep in their own territory. I have edited my post.

Took a knee twice in the last minute when they could have possibly scored again and still won? Could you send the game film to Bill Whitmore at FRA and Scott Tidwell at Lipscomb? That idea is obviously very foregn to them.
