CPA basketball interesting year ahead

PlayersCoach, housekeeping made the bed at CPA not Kbrks. That is fact. The program was a solid and consistent winner the right way with home grown kids. After that, the situation turned very different very quickly. Those are facts as well. I think getting burned by the dark side of AAU may have caused the sudden change of heart. Funny when it gets done to you it takes the giddiness out of it.

 

As for you and Kbrks, you both have your own side to the debate. Obviously, neither is going to change their outlook.  Letting it get to this point is on the two of you. Both need to let it go.

 

 

Care to elaborate on "getting burned by the dark side of AAU may have caused the sudden change of heart"?

Back to the topic: CPA has a mediocre record (for them) at 12-7. Interesting to note that one of those losses was to an average Ridgeway team over Christmas. But look at the records of the other 6 teams that beat them:

- Cane Ridge - 16-1 (#10 in the state)

- Pope John Paul - 16-4 (#7 in the state)

- Corinth, MS - 19-1 (#2 in the state)

- University Lab, La - 17-3 (#3 in the state)

- Spain Park, AL - 16-7 (#2 in the state)

- Mountain Brook, AL - 17-5 (#5 in the state)

CPA is now 5-0 in their district. They are not, by far, a state contender, but I finally went to a game last week and, to be honest, it is amazing how well they have done with what they had coming back and the young guys on the bench. They start 1 Sr., 2 Jr.,1 Soph., and 1 Fr.

They returned only 1 starter from last year - their 4th leading scorer, and one other player that was in their top 5 off the bench. Only 2 of their top 10 players returning.

They have won every game they should have won, and even upset a team or two. They may not go far in postseason, but they are having a good year with the talent they have.

I would say when you beat any good team with 1 returning starter and 1 other second 5 returning player and only about 15% of your previous year's scoring, it is an upset. 

But they definitely "upset" Westview who is now 15-3 and only lost to Simeon, Ill by 7. They also would have been considered underdogs against Webb, who beat a good FRA team and handed Fulton their only loss, and a good CAK team, who beat FRA and a very good Knox. Cath. team.

The KY tourney they won was not great competition but it was at least equal competition and they won it on the road. That was an upset, IMO.

But I get it, they can never do enough for you to give them or their coaches any props. If they win every game, you consider them cheaters and classless. If they lose every game, you consider it bad coaching. No one will change your outlook, so I won't even try.

Just thought I would try to update the thread subject which was "CPA basketball interesting year ahead". Have a great night.

No, you don't get it, but you and certain others never have.  Asking a question since you did not give any support to the statement in your original post should not be a problem.  Simply wondering what you meant.  Being met with that type of defensiveness and response says a lot about you.  You are absolutely wrong.  I have never considered them cheaters and classless based on winning or bad coaching based on losing.  I have provided the reasons for why I believe what I believe and it has nothing to do with simply winning or losing.  And if you were honest and objective you would admit the types of comments you made have no basis in truth.  But not to worry, I am used to it and you have taught me to expect nothing less.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
